Rising from the Ashes (Andrew and Lauren) Chapter 2674

The small mountain valley was surrounded by towering peaks, and Mikayla stood on a boulder high above, her dress fluttering as she watched Lennox and Quinn tangled together down below. She looked amused, almost entertained by the scene. Footsteps sounded behind her, yet Mikayla did not turn around as she giggled and said, “Dad, you’re here.” Lorenzo walked up beside her, calmly glanced down at the valley, and gave a low grunt.

Mikayla snorted and asked, “Disgusting people, aren’t they?” Lorenzo withdrew his gaze, his eyes cold as he said, “They’re just lowly creatures enjoying a moment of pleasure, nothing more. Mikayla, we’re reaching the most critical part of our plan, and you need to push harder on your side as well.” Mikayla giggled and replied, “Don’t worry, Dad. Handling Lennox is way easier than dealing with that damn Andrew. I only had to give a vague hint, and Lennox nearly lost his mind.” Lorenzo replied mildly, “Speaking of Andrew, Mr.

Vazquez sent word that the little brat isn’t in Chetvine right now.” Mikayla answered lazily, “So what? You think Mr. Vazquez would bother looking at someone like him?” —- “Of course, Mr. Vazquez doesn’t care,” Lorenzo said, his expression turning serious, “but he reminded me not to get careless.” He added, “If that brat shows up at the Advanced Medical Institute at the wrong time, he’ll ruin everything we’ve built.” Mikayla scoffed, “First of all, Andrew showing up here is already impossible, and even if he did, it wouldn’t change a thing.

We could use our victory as leverage and get the Institute to quietly wipe him out, and no one would ever know.” Lorenzo frowned slightly. “Either way, being careful never hurts Mr. Vazquez laid out the entire political roadmap of the Advanced Medical Institute for me, and whether we can seize control and make the Institute work for the Owens family depends on us. If we fail, Mr. Vazquez won’t lift a finger for us; he’ll simply discard us.” Mikayla muttered unhappily, “Dad, why do you always sound insecure whenever you bring up that old man Mr. Vazquez?

You’re the head of the Owens family, the top favorite around Mr. Vazquez in all of Chetvine, and even Jose can’t compare to you.” Lorenzo barked, “Enough! Watch your mouth, Mikayla. Who gave you the nerve to badmouth Mr. Vazquez behind his back?” Mikayla shrank back. Tears immediately welled up in her eyes as —- Mikayla let out a cold snort. “No, I’ll handle him myself if I can, just to wash away the humiliation he once threw at me.” Lorenzo’s eyes shifted downward with amusement. “Well, looks like the Sixth Elder from Advanced Medical Institute, Milo Avila, just arrived.

He’s as useless as everyone says, and since he’s here, we might as well let Corbin take him out.” He continued, “Then stick to the plan and go meet Jerome yourself. Remember to stay respectful and polite, because even if his skills aren’t the strongest in the whole country, he’s still a major figure in the Southern Martial Union and we need him on our side.” Mikayla glanced downward and smiled. “Alright, I’ll take care of it for you. But before that, I want to personally witness that wretched Quinn watching her pathetic father die, crying and breaking down in despair. It’ll be beautiful.

And if she finds out that Lennox has been playing with her body this whole time, who knows? Maybe that pathetic woman will be so furious she’ll just throw herself off a cliff.” Hearing that, Lorenzo instinctively frowned because his daughter sounded a bit too vicious. Yet he did not scold or correct her.

After all, Mikayla was already outstanding enough, and he could not bring himself to say even one harsh word What he did not know, however, was that the daughter he —- protected so fiercely and refused to admonish would one day be utterly destroyed by Andrew, down to the point of being unrecognizable.
