Rising from the Ashes (Andrew and Lauren)

Chapter 470 Marcus words carried resentment, but even more apparent was his complete loss of purpose- both in life and work.

He had nothing left but despair.

Damn that Michael, Lauren muttered under her breath.

If Marcus dies, how is he going to explain this to the family board? Before Lauren could attempt more persuasion, Andrew held her back.

He advised, Ms.

Rhodes, lets not mention anything that might upset Mr.

Chapman further

Hes too emotional to listen to reason right now anything we say might only push him closer to the edge.

Lauren nodded in agreement.

Youre right, Dr.

Lloyd

Eunice, has anyone called emergency services ? We need rescue teams here.

Theyre already on their way, Eunice replied.

However, Andrew shook his head.

Theres no time.

Marcus is determined to end it all any sudden movement could trigger him to jump.

Everyone, please step back and give Mr.

Chapman some space! Andrew commanded, spreading his arms to push the crowd back.

Eunice snapped, What are you doing? What if he jumps while were too far away? Several of Marcus close colleagues joined in, glaring at Andrew angrily.

Whats your game here? Do you want us to watch Marcus die? one shouted

Another yelled, This is between us employees stay out of it! Youre just like the rest of them bloodsucking capitalists who exploit workers! Admit it you dont care about saving Mr.

Chapman.

You just want to watch him die! The angered employees, especially those who had worked with Marcus for years, erupted into shouts

Several of them lunged toward Andrew in frustration, their emotions boiling over

Lauren saw the chaos spiraling out of control and shouted, Everyone, stop! No one is to make a move or speak out of line

Do you hear me? However, her words did little to calm the storm.

The crowds rage had reached its peak, and their grievances against Rhodes Corporations management were spilling over

Eunice pointed a finger at Andrew, yelling furiously, This is all your fault! Why are you.

interfering and making things worse? Are you trying to hurt Ms.

Rhodes and Mr.

Chapman ? Suddenly, Andrews thunderous voice cut through the chaos.

Silence! The powerful command made everyone freeze, though their angry glares remained fixed on him

Chapter 470 Whats the point of all this commotion ? Andrew challenged, his cold gaze sweeping across the crowd.

Tell me who among you can save Marcus right now? Who can talk him down? The employees fell silent until one veteran worker sneered

Youve been with Rhodes Corporation for what, a day? Sure, we might be helpless, but what makes you think you can do any better? Andrew met his gaze with confidence and stated firmly, Just because you cant do it doesnt mean others cant.

Mr.

Chapman is a vital asset to this company, and more importantly, hes my friend.

Ill bring him back.

His words left the crowd stunned into silence.
