Rising from the Ashes (Andrew and Lauren)

Chapter 309 Atlas snatched a few items from one of his men and threw them hard into Finleys face. Finley, you claim that you and Yvonne came here just to rest and that nothing happened, Atlas growled, his voice sharp and cold.

Then open your eyes and tell me what are these? Finley shakily removed the items from his face, only to freeze in horror.

His face turned crimson as he recognized the objects: two pairs of underwear that he and Yvonne had left

behind in their frantic escape.

Atlass jaw tightened as he ground his teeth.

He then grabbed one of Finleys lost red heels and a roll of crumpled tissues and tossed them at Finley with a forceful thud.

However, he was not done

With a look of utter disgust, Atlas flung several used condoms at Finley, each hitting its mark Finley recoiled in horror, dodging the sordid items as best he could

Around him, the Northern District men stared some with anger, others with icy indifference, and a few with subtle disdain.

Atlas was not the only one feeling ashamed.

His men, too, felt their pride bruised.

Their leaders woman had been disgraced, and by extension, so had they.

Yet, Finely was not just anyone.

As a member of the Hidden Dragons, his status meant they had no choice but to keep their outrage to themselves.

And then, breaking the awkward moment, a cheerful voice echoed from outside the hotel. Well, well, Mr.

Giordano, Mr.

Moore what a coincidence to see you both here! In strolled Natasha, Dylan, and Andrew, their expressions casual yet full of hidden amusement

Atlas turned to face them, his already dark expression twisting further.

Natasha, Dylan what are you doing here? Dylan smirked.

What else? Were here to enjoy the hotel, of course, he said with mock innocence.

I heard the Rhodes familys... specialty hotel has quite the reputation for unique, exotic experiences.

Thought Id bring my girl along to check it out.

Natasha covered her mouth as she let out a soft laugh

Exactly! Even though Im single, I couldnt resist the curiosity, she chimed in playfully.

I hope were not interfering with your ... activities, Mr.

Giordano

Atlass jaw tightened as his eye twitched in frustration

It was obvious these two were not here for the hotel they had come to watch him suffer.

Andrew suddenly gasped, feigning surprise.

Oh my! Mr.

Moore, I remember seeing you and Ms.

Fuller rushing off at the West End villa earlier.

So this is where you were headed! Chapter 309 Finley, already seething, exploded with anger

Andrew, dont think I dont know ! he snapped.

This is all your doing every bit of it! Andrew raised an eyebrow, looking genuinely puzzled. My doing? Mr.

Moore, whatever do you mean? You know exactly what I mean! Finley snarled

If it werent for you tipping them off and setting up an ambush at the back door, none of this wouldve happened! He bit back the rest of his words, realizing too late that hed almost admitted to his affair with Yvonne

The last thing he wanted was to provoke Atlas any further.

Andrews voice turned cold.

If you didnt want to get caught, you shouldnt have done it in the first place.

You brought this on yourself, Finley.

Finleys glare darkened, his voice dripping with venom.

Andrew, I see it now every time something bad happens to me, youre always lurking in the shadows! Fine

III admit it I lost to you today.

But mark my words, III come after you.

One day, my blade will claim your head. Andrew shrugged, completely unfazed. Go ahead and try.

Just make sure youre ready to die.
