Rising from the Ashes Chapter 725
The first-week sales report for Rhodes Corporation's Pharmaceutical Division's new products have finally come in. Michael could not contain his excitement as he stared at the numbers, grinning. He exclaimed, "Bane, the three products you developed are making a killing! That bastard Andrew looked down on us, but now? This is going to slap him right in the face!" Clutching the thick financial report, Michael immediately rushed to find Tiana. Bane snorted. "I told you from the start—that kid is nothing but a spineless weakling. All he does is brag, but when it comes to real ability? He's got nothing!" When Tiana reviewed the sales figures, she let out a deep breath and gave Michael an approving look. "Michael, you've officially saved the Pharmaceutical Division. Not only have you redeemed yourself, but you've taken its success to the next level." Michael was feeling immensely proud, but he kept his tone humble. "Aunt Tiana, you flatter me. As a Rhodes, this is my duty. As long a
Rising from the Ashes Chapter 726
Several people in the room who were aware of the senior executive's dirty secrets could not help but chuckle. The man's face flushed with rage as he pointed at Andrew. "You—" However, after sputtering for a while, he did not dare to say another word. The truth was, he already had a deep-seated fear of Andrew. Moreover, Andrew's words hit a little too close to home. He was on the verge of full retirement. With more money than he could ever spend, he had been indulging in his "second youth". Yet, lately, he had been feeling the consequences—blood in his urine was a clear warning sign. He thought maybe it really was time to take it easy. Otherwise, he would end up ruining his reputation in his old age. Tiana scoffed. "Mr. Lloyd, this is a corporate meeting room, not a place for you to run your mouth." Andrew smirked. "Mrs. Rhodes, you're absolutely right. Which is exactly why I don't think it was necessary to hold such a big meeting just to celebrate Bane's three garbage-tier

Lauren's expression turned ice-cold. "Michael, you're a complete idiot. If you keep running the Pharmaceutical Division like this, you'll ruin Rhodes Corporation's reputation sooner or later!" Michael turned to Tiana, gritting his teeth. "Aunt Tiana, they're still talking down on me even now! It seems not everyone appreciates my contributions to this company. Since that's the case, I might as well step down and let Lauren be CEO instead. I'm done putting up with this disrespect!" Lauren sneered. "Playing the victim now? Michael, you're absolutely shameless." Tiana suddenly slammed the table. "Enough! Have you two argued enough?! Lauren, your time is running out. If you want to prove your products are better, then do it! "If you can't show results, I will hand the CEO's seat to Michael. And if that happens, there's no reason for you to stay in Jayrodale anymore. You should return to Blumedale and focus on preparing for your wedding!" Lauren's eyes burned with frustration and r

Andrew said, "Isn't it obvious? Lauren's biggest support is me!" Marcus' jaw dropped slightly as if he had just been personally attacked. On the other hand, Lauren felt a mix of embarrassment and warmth, her heart fluttering as she looked at Andrew. For the first time, she realized her composed and gentlemanly Andrew had a bit of a rebellious, streetwise streak. Marcus raised his hands in surrender. "Mr. Lloyd, I have to admit—your confidence is actually pretty damn cool!" Andrew shot him a sharp look. "Mr. Chapman, this isn't just confidence. I'm stating facts. Enough sulking. It's time to do something! Let me make this clear—I'll definitely crush Michael!" Lauren and Marcus exchanged glances, unsure of what Andrew had up his sleeve. Nonetheless, neither of them doubted his words. After all, Andrew had proven anything time and time again that no challenge ever seemed to be a real obstacle for him. … Back in Lauren's office, Andrew immediately began assigning tasks. He

Grabbing Lauren's delicate hand, Andrew said, "Let's go. We need to make a trip to Glorious Pharmaceuticals and check with Mr. Brunner to see when the first batch of products will be ready for release." Lauren frowned. "The timeline is too tight. I'd say it'll take at least another two weeks." Andrew shook his head. "No, I'm only giving him two days at most." … The two of them quickly drove over to Glorious Pharmaceuticals. As soon as they arrived, Stephen came rushing out with a bright smile as soon as they arrived. "Mr. Lloyd, Ms. Rhodes, welcome!" Lauren returned his smile politely. "Sorry to bother you again, Mr. Brunner." Stephen waved his hands. "Oh, come on, Ms. Rhodes, no need to say that! Being able to work with Mr. Lloyd is an honor. I should be thanking you!" Andrew did not hesitate to walk straight over to Stephen's office chair and sit down, leaving Stephen standing there awkwardly with nowhere to sit. After glancing around helplessly, Stephen finally resigne

Stephen said, "But Mr. Lloyd, you should know that pharmaceutical-grade precision equipment costs a fortune. Most of it is imported, and a single machine alone could easily cost over 100 million!" Andrew nodded. "The equipment has already been taken care of. Once Ms. Rhodes and I leave, you need to head straight to the factory and inspect it." Stephen blinked in disbelief, thinking he must have misheard. "Mr. Lloyd, what did you just say? The equipment is already handled?" Andrew responded calmly, "Yes. It's done. You'll be dealing with a vice CEO from Wealthroller Investments—a major investor in the pharmaceutical industry. He'll be there to assist you and ensure everything runs smoothly." Stephen froze in shock. "Mr. Lloyd, you actually got someone from Mr. Yates' company involved?" Andrew remained indifferent. "No, I didn't ask for help. I gave an order." Stephen's heart skipped a beat. He was smart enough to stop questioning, but internally, his mind was racing. He wond

Andrew and Lauren wasted no time. After handling everything at Glorious Pharmaceuticals, they rushed back to Rhodes Corporation. On the drive back, Lauren could not hold back her curiosity. She asked hesitantly, "Dr. Lloyd, I know I shouldn't pry, but I still want to ask… Was it Mr. Yates who helped with the machine?" Andrew nodded. "You could say that. I already realized that Stephen's factory, even though it's the best in Jayrodale, isn't all that impressive. To put it bluntly, they couldn't even get a single advanced piece of equipment. So, I gave Marvin a heads-up in advance and had him figure something out." Lauren fell silent for a moment before whispering, "If Mr. Yates helped you like this, there must be a price, right? For example, maybe he wants to use you to take control of Glorious Pharmaceuticals. And from there, he could monopolize Jayrodale's entire pharmaceutical industry. It's not impossible." Andrew glanced at her, surprised. "Lauren, how did you come up with

Lauren's voice was sharp with anger. "Who hit you? Eunice, tell me—who did this to you?" Tears welled up in Eunice's eyes as she shook her head. "Miss, I'm fine. You don't have to worry about me." Lauren's fury only grew. "I'm asking you—who did this? Tell me, and I promise I'll make sure they pay for it!" Eunice sobbed. "Miss, please don't ask anymore. I don't want to cause you trouble." Just as Lauren was about to explode, Andrew gently pulled her back and reassured her. "Don't get upset. Trust me—I'll make sure Ms. Brooks gets justice." Then, he turned to Marcus. "Mr. Chapman, explain—what happened here?" Marcus let out a sigh before responding. "Ms. Brooks went to the Pharmaceutical Division to get the approval documents, just as you instructed. Michael's lackeys not only refused to process it, but they also ran their mouths and insulted you, Mr. Lloyd. Ms. Brooks couldn't stand it and argued back, but in the end…" Andrew's expression darkened into a cold smirk. "So,

Michael's lackeys stood there, completely stunned. Then, their shock turned into fury. One shouted, "Andrew, you son of a—" Andrew threw another slap, knocking one of them out cold on the spot. "A low-level manager talking back to his superiors—who gave you the courage to bark like a dog?" Without missing a beat, Andrew turned and slapped another man so hard that a tooth flew out. "You think just because I've been quiet, I'm easy to push around? Let me remind you—I'm a board member, not some sickly kitten. If you cross the line, I will make you regret it." Two more slaps rang out, sending the last two executives flying. "A bunch of nobodies daring to insult a department head, a vice CEO, and a board member. I'll let you off this time, but if any of you try this again, I'll make sure you know exactly what it feels like to be paralyzed from the waist down." Andrew moved fast—too fast. In a matter of seconds, Howard and his four high-ranking colleagues were sprawled across th

The man in suspenders lifted his chin arrogantly. "Yeah, I hit her. What are you gonna do about it, Mr. Lloyd?" Andrew's expression remained calm. "Why did you hit her?" The man scoffed. "The Pharmaceutical Division belongs to Mr. Rhodes. Some lowly secretary waltzing in here demanding approval documents? Please. Who does she think she is?" Andrew's eyes narrowed. "Since when did the Pharmaceutical Division become Michael's territory? As far as I know, the director here is still Mr. Chapman, isn't it?" The man let out a mocking laugh. "Does it even matter? Mr. Rhodes is about to become the company's CEO. Once that happens, the entire corporation will be his. "And me? I'm the head of sales for the entire Pharmaceutical Division. Just so you know, that two-million-dollar performance boost? That was all my doing! "So, Mr. Lloyd, my advice? Stop wasting your time. Just step aside and quit dreaming about competing with Mr. Rhodes, or you'll end up with nothing but a mess to cle
