Rising from the Ashes BY Only For You

Gary tried to calm her down from the side. "Ms. Peck, you'd better not do anything reckless! The Rhodes family might not be a big deal, but Andrew is someone we really can't afford to mess with right now!"

She shrieked, "It has to be her! That's why Joe chose to back out! I hate that bitch. I swear, I'm going to kill her!"

Gary looked completely panicked and still tried to stop her, but Liliana snapped at him, "Gary, stay out of this! If you're too scared to get involved, then move aside! I don't believe for a second that I can't take down one bitch!"

Gary groaned. "But Ms. Peck, even if you do get rid of Lauren... Mr. Driscoll still won't be happy about it!"
