Rising from the Ashes (Andrew and Lauren)

.

Chapter 430 Andrew walked back to Laurens side and sat down with a casual smile.

He said, Youre the CEO, its your call.

But please understand, I just joined the Rhodes Corporation today, so I got a bit carried away and gave

Mr.

Hills quite a shock ! Many people gritted their teeth in silence.

Andrews nonchalant attitude hardly seemed apologetic, and calling it quite a shock when Edward had to be rushed to the hospital was a massive understatement.

Michael slammed his hand on the table.

Enough Lets get down to business.

Everyone, quiet! Andrew and Lauren exchanged glances, their expressions innocent.

Lauren was secretly delighted, as Andrews performance deserved full marks.

She could only imagine how furious Tiana must have been while watching all of this unfold through the surveillance cameras.

Do we have any updates on the Northern District case ? Michael turned to an executive.

Atlas may be dead, but we havent recovered a single penny from our two investments in Northern District

I wont tolerate this situation! The executive stammered nervously, M Mr.

Rhodes, the people from the Northern District have scattered like birds.

We cant even find anyone in charge our employees dont know who to approach for the money, so... So

, you useless piece of shit, youre telling me that 60 million dollars from those two projects just vanished into thin air? Michaels cold laugh cut through the room.

The executive lowered his head, his face burning red.

You worthless fool! Michael snapped, his burning gaze sweeping across the executives.

No one dared to meet his eyes, quickly looking down at their feet.

Atlas was long dead, and getting the 60 million dollars back was impossible.

Lauren, since these incompetent fools cant handle it, this is now your responsibility, given that youre the

Vice CEO, Michael suddenly announced, glancing maliciously toward Andrew and Lauren.

Lauren scoffed

Sorry, but Im not accepting this assignment.

Atlas is dead, and Northern District is destroyed where exactly am I supposed to find this 60 million ?

Thats for you to figure out, Michael replied dismissively.

Im the CEO I handle the big picture and make decisions.

Your job is simply to execute them! Laurens temper flared, but Andrew gently squeezed her hand before she could explode

Its okay, Ill go with you, he said with a smile.

Chapter 450 Marcus and Eunice watched anxiously from the sitle, worried that Andrew was once again putting himself in the line of fire.

They wondered if he was too blind to see that Michael was deliberately trying to make things difficult for Lauren

Michael smirked.

Good, since youve agreed, then its settled.

But let me be clear.

These 60 million dollars are crucial

If you cant recover them, youll face consequences, regardless of your status, Lauren.

Dont worry, Lauren replied with disgust.

Im not as incompetent as some people

Michael laughed inwardly, knowing the 60 million had long since disappeared without a trace.

It would take a miracle to recover it now, and he could not wait to see the look on Laurens face when she returned empty handed.
