From Ruin She Rose novel Chapter 164

Chapter 164

As soon as she disappeared from view, the smile faded from Austin’s face. He glanced at the scattered groceries on the counter, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.

He pulled out his phone and made a call. He said to the phone, “Andrew’s been living too easy lately. Keep him busy.” His voice was full of mockery, as if he were just sharing a private joke.

Andrew’s showing up didn’t faze Emily one bit. She’d never expected anything from the Bennett Family anyway.

But Andrew, on the other hand, was fuming. Not even his parents had ever chewed him out to his face like that when he was a kid. He was determined to make Austin’s life hell.

Andrew thought, ‘Honestly, this is all Emily’s fault anyway. She is always causing trouble and acting out, but I never thought she’d actually pull a stunt like this just to get our attention.

‘She barely knows that Austin guy with a shady background, and now she is already shacking up with him? It is humiliating. And then there is Lucas. If he knows Emily is living with Austin, why doesn’t he tell us?’

Andrew, finally having someone to take his anger out on, went straight to Lucas and really let him have it.

Lucas was stunned. The last time Andrew had given him such a serious scolding was back when he was ten, after sneaking Emily out to watch a car race and almost losing her. He never thought it’d be because of Emily again.

But the only reason Lucas kept it from the family was for Emily’s own good.

He thought, ‘Emily is already on bad terms with others, and everything she does is just to get their attention. But the way she goes about it is way over the top-it is only backfiring on her.

‘I keep it a secret to help her, but she has gone and ratted me out to Andrew.’

After getting chewed out, Lucas was bottling up his frustration. He hadn’t even figured out how to let off steam when he turned around and ran right into Emily, who had just come back from outside.
