Rising from the Ashes BY Only For You

Chapter 1889

Andrew would never have expected that after all these years, the only person in Goldridge who cared about his

safety would be Rowan. However, the lady standing before him now was completely different from the bratty

little girl from five years ago.

Her intoxicating fragrance, soft little hands, a smooth face, and those long legs that could make any man drool.

Everything about her screamed that she was a real beauty.

Andrew remained perfectly still because he never expected Rowan to secretly cto rescue him. However, if

he left with her now, everything he had worked for would be wasted.

"Con, let's go! What's wrong with you?" Rowan whispered urgently.

Seeing Andrew's blank, dull look, she began to panic. Then, a terrifying thought struck her, draining the color

from her face.

She gasped and mumbled, "Phantom Mirage... No.... Don't tellyou've been brainwashed by Phantom Mirage!

Grandma toldthat Mr. Thornton's adopted son, Eric... that bastard's hypnosis technique is terrifying! Anyone

who falls under it loses their mind little by little until they beca puppet, just a shell, completely controlled..."

Her voice trembled, and her thoughts spiraled. She waved a hand in front of Andrew's face, but there was no

reaction. Then, she shook his shoulders, but still no reaction.

Finally, she slapped him across the face. "Snap out of it!"

Andrew cursed silently, 'Damn, this girl hits hard! That hurt!"

Still, he held still, determined to stay in character and pay her back later.

Rowan tried everything she could think of, but nothing worked. Her face fell, eyes filled with heartbreak as she

stared at him. "You jerk... five years ago, you promised you'd cback to see me. Did you know? | waited for

you for five years. Five whole years!"

She murmured the words to herself, then suddenly dropped to the floor and broke into sobs. Her shoulders

trembled as she cried without holding back.

Andrew's scalp tingled in panic. 'Lady, if you keep crying like that, you're gonna alert those two psychos upstairs!

Also, what did you just say?"

Did she just say that she had waited for him for five years? He vaguely remembered healing her five years ago,

and that was how they met.

Back then, Rowan had been fierce and unreasonable, not particularly likable at all. So, Andrew's impression of

her was not good. Besides, she seemed to hate him too, especially when the treatment required touching her

body, which had caused unpleasant scenes.

Who could have imagined she would actually ccrying to this den of thieves because of him?

Andrew found it all very strange, wondering what the hell Rowan was up to. He needed to find a way to get her

out of here before things went south.

Just then, footsteps echoed from the stairwell, and the lights flicked on.

Andrew's heart skipped a beat, and he thought, 'This is bad! Either Eric or Henry is coming downstairs!" Rowan,

who had been crouching and sobbing on the floor, reacted with extraordinary speed. To Andrew's amazement,

she stood up, bent her slender waist, leaned down, and gently kissed his lips.

She whispered, "Goodbye, Andrew. The Onyx Serpents are being crushed by the McCormick family and

threatened by people like Henry. We have no choice. Either we submit, or we get wiped out. Grandma and | have

no choice but to take the Onyx Serpents and leave Goldridge."

After that brief kiss, Rowan's delicate face flushed with color.

Cupping Andrew's face, she cried and laughed at the stime, whispering softly, "Andrew, | fell in love with

you five years ago. Don't worry. Grandma and the others are leaving Goldridge, but | won't go. I'll secretly stay

behind and find a way to save you! You idiot, you touched my breasts back then, you know. So I'm stuck on you

now! You can't escape!"

With one last lingering look at Andrew, Rowan turned around and, like an agile white cat, flipped over the

balcony and left the mansion.

Andrew breathed a sigh of relief, but he quickly froze again. 'Wait... What the hell did she just say? She's in love

with me? Since when? And she's saying | touched her breasts?’

Honestly, Andrew could not remember.

Nonetheless, Rowan's confession just now had been crystal clear and unmistakable.

The young girl from five years ago had now beca charming, voluptuous, graceful, and alluring lady.

Then again, when had she secretly fallen for him?

Andrew could not figure this out and found it troublesome. After all, he did not want to harm Rowan. Originally,

he could have followed his plan to toy with Henry and the others, then slip away when the twas right.

However, Rowan had appeared out of nowhere. If it were just anyone else, he would not have cared.

He sighed deeply. Maybe being too attractive really was a curse for a man. Also, he secretly suspected that deep

down, he might be a pervert too. Otherwise, he would not have been disturbed by Rowan's pitiful appearance

and heartfelt confession just now.

This time, even Eric was coming along, which showed Henry was ready to go all in.

Scarlett also showed up early, dressed for combat, and seething with killing intent. She asked, "Where's Alex? |

don't see him anywhere."

Henry answered flatly, "Dead."

Scarlett's eyes widened. "Dead? He died at the Yeager estate?"

Henry glanced at Andrew. "Yeah. He died there. Andrew used him as a scapegoat and threw him out to die!"

'Rotten, my ass!' Andrew resisted the urge to roll his eyes. Staring at Scarlett's ugly face, he really wanted to

slap her hard.

"Everyone, let's head to the Yeager estate. Move out!" Henry barked.

With that, about seven SUVs roared to life, heading straight for the Yeager estate in a mighty convoy.
