Rising from the Ashes (Andrew and Lauren)

Chapter 391 After her initial shock, Natashas face flushed with embarrassment and anger, refusing to back down as she questioned him

Alright, you call yourself a master physician.

Then let me ask you this why did I still get injured in my fight with Atlas after taking the Blood Surge Pill? And now youre accusing me of faking it? Andrews lips curled into a mocking smile as he replied, Is that so hard to figure out? The moment you got back, you took a high quality healing pill.

Judging by your complexion, it mustve been a top tier Vitality Pill.

These pills can quickly replenish energy and restore blood, bringing you back from weakness in no time. Well, am I wrong? Andrews tone was dripping with sarcasm as he stared at Natasha.

Natasha fell silent for a long moment before clapping her hands, a rosy blush spreading across her face there was not a hint of weakness left in her demeanor.

No wonder Dylan swears unwavering loyalty to you.

Even I have to admit defeat before you, darling.

She continued, Youre absolutely right.

The moment I got back, I took a Vitality Pill.

I needed to reach my peak condition as fast as possible so West End could secure the Northern Districts assets and territory before Dylan could make a move

1 Natasha confessed everything, her face calm and unbothered, her smile as confident as ever. Meanwhile, Andrew remained expressionless.

Dont you think your actions were a bit underhanded? Dont you think theyre ... despicable ? Natashas eyes narrowed with anger as her tone turned icy.

Darling, I wont allow you to speak to me like that.

The underworld is all about deception and power plays.

Its a game of eat or be eaten.

She added, When Dylan and I joined forces, West End and South City were allies friends, brothers even

But now that Atlas is gone, the Northern Districts wealth and power are enough to turn any alliance into rivalry.

Dont blame me for being ruthless.

This is how people like us operate no mercy, no rules, only victory matters! Andrew let out a cold laugh. So, this whole winner takes all philosophy you think youre the winner now, do you? Natasha grinned slyly

Isnt it obvious? Dylans badly injured, and Im completely fine.

South City was already weakened before this

Theyre no match for West End now.

With Atlass forces under my control, my power is unstoppable.

Taking Dylan down is only a matter of time.

So tell me, darling, if Im not the winner here, then who is? What Natasha did not expect was for her triumphant declaration to be met with a scoff from Andrew

He casually sat back down on the couch, stretching out like he had all the time in the world.

ПI Chapter 391 Do you remember what I told you about chess? Andrew asked, out of nowhere, his tone. calm yet teasing.

Natasha frowned slightly, unsure of what he was getting at, but her confidence did not waver.

Of course, I remember! You cautioned me to open my eyes, or Id end up as another cautionary tale in the history of bad alliances.

I have to admit, I was enlightened

Im ready to seize the world and reign supreme.

Instead of forming bad alliances, Im going to dominate Dylans South City! Natasha beamed, proud of her newfound strategies.

The last time she faced Andrew, she had felt like nothing more than a pretty decoration, but now, she thought she had leveled up, becoming knowledgeable and sharp.

Andrew chuckled softly, shaking his head.

Not bad

It seems like youve put some effort into learning

But arent you thinking a little too highly of yourself now? Natashas triumphant smile froze on her face. Darling, youre not scaring me with that! she replied, though there was a flicker of unease in her voice.
