Rising from the Ashes (Andrew and Lauren)

Inside the Keller residence, George looked stern as he called his daughters to come before him. He asked, "You three were behind the conflict between the Irvings and Andy, weren't you?"

Emily remained silent, Freya snorted coldly without responding, and Hannah giggled.

She said, "Dad, we were just playing a little joke on him! You want to marry one of us to him, right? Of course, we had to test him first!"

George sneered coldly, "Is that so? So, what did your test reveal?"

Hannah pouted. "We found out he's completely useless! If you hadn't stepped in, Dad, Mr. Irving might have beaten him to a pulp!"

George laughed but it was a cold laugh. "So, all three of you think this way?" The three sisters did not speak, but all nodded, their expression contemptuous. George suddenly roared, "Foolish! If you three weren't girls, I would have given you all a severe beating today!"

This sudden outburst frightened the three.

Hannah, being the most delicate, immediately teared up. "Dad, why are you being so mean? We're telling the truth-we're not wronging Andrew at all. He really is that pathetic!"

Emily said through gritted teeth, "Dad, we know you favor Andrew, but we're your daughters! Sometimes we really can't understand why you think so highly of him and trust him so much!"

Freya, whose mind was focused on

her entertainment career rather than family matters, chimed in coldly,

"Anyway, if you want to marry your daughters, I don't object to Emily and Hannah doing it, but I'll only marry someone I love, I'd rather die alone than settle for some mediocre nobody!"

George was so angry that he laughed. "After being away from home for a while, you three have really grown some nerves! Fine, since you all think you're so excellent and capable while looking down on Andy, let's start with you, Emily. Tell me, what gives you the right to be so arrogant in front of him!"

Emily snorted, coldly with pride. "I've started a company that's actually profitable While it's still far from going public, the valuation is already no less than two billion dollars Compared to others my aged Blumedale, I think I'm doing pretty well!"

George replied mercilessly, "Your 'pretty well', to put it nicely in Andrew's eyes, means you still have room to grow. To put it harshly, it means you're worthless and not worth mentioning! You think two billion is something to be proud of?

"What if I told you that on the very day Andrew arrived in Blumedale, he registered a company worth 50 billion? You can't even match a fraction of what he has. What do you have to say for yourself?"

Emily looked incredulous. "A 50-billion capital company? Dad, you're joking, right? Even you probably couldn't easily come up with such an enormous sum!"

George snorted coldly. "It's precisely because even I don't dare feel superior in front of Andrew! What makes you three little nobodies think you can?

"Emily, you're the eldest and supposedly the most sensible, but this time, you acted very poorly and short-sightedly. Whichever one of you manages to catch Andrew, your future success is basically guaranteed!"noveldrama
