Rising from the Ashes BY Only For You

---- Chapter 2247 Andrew looked up and saw Mikayla, the celebrated beauty of Chetvine. Thanks to her talent and ambition, the Owens family had clawed their way from an ordinary household into the ranks of high society. Over the past ten years, this woman had risen at a staggering pace.

Madam Baxter herself has praised me, saying I'll have no trouble reaching seventh grade, maybe even eighth grade one day, enough to earn a seat as an elder of Sovereign's Apothecary." Andrew's face stayed calm. "Is that so?

Even for us alchemy students, meeting her depends on pure luck. Forget it. Chetvine is full of spoiled brats who use their family name to stir trouble. But if Madam Baxter actually bothers to
