Rising from the Ashes (Andrew and Lauren)

Camilla let out a desperate scream and clutched her pregnant belly as she

dropped to her knees, trying to beg Andrew for mercy. "Mr. Lloyd, I'm pregnant... please, I'm begging you for the sake of my baby, spare us! Please, just give us a second chance!"

However, Andrew stepped to the side, refusing her plea without a second thought. "Sorry, but begging now is a little too late."

He turned to Alfred and asked calmly, "Alfred, I'm thinking of appointing Nyla as the new head of the Goth family. Do you believe she's fit for the role?"

Alfred did not hesitate for a second. "Mr. Lloyd, absolutely. No question-she's more than qualified. But... if I may add just one small condition..."

Before he could even finish, Andrew cut in with a cool tone. "I already know what you're trying to say. You want me to spare the Goth family, right? Don't worry. As long as Nyla takes the leadership role and you support her properly...

"I'll personally make sure the Goth family bounces back. In fact, I'll help them rise even higher in Jayrodale than ever before."

Alfred blinked in surprise, then a huge grin spread across his face. "Mr. Lloyd, did you just say you'd support the Goth family?"

He bowed with excitement, doing his best to contain the joy in his voice.

Andrew shot him a glance with a half-smile. "Do you think I'm the type to joke about this?"

With full confidence, Alfred stood tall and declared, "Nyla, from this moment forward, you are the new head of the Goth family. You have my full support, as your great-uncle."

Dominic felt the world spinning around him. His vision blurred, and he nearly collapsed as he roared, "Uncle Alfred, you can't do this! This is a coup!"

Camilla burst into tears beside him, screaming, "If Dominic loses his position as head, then what happens to us? What about our child?"noveldrama

Alfred's eyes were ice cold as he growled, "The two of you should get the hellout of my sight! None of this would've happened to our family if it weren't for your incompetence and arrogance.

"Right now, Nyla is the future-the core of our legacy. Are you deaf? Didn't you

hear Mr. Lloyd say he will personally support her?"

Dominic and Camilla were speechless, their faces ghost-white.

Andrew had not raised a hand against them. All it took was a few words to

o shift the entire power structure of the Goth family. He did not just oust a family head-he made the entire household turn against their own leaders.

"We support Ms. Goth as our new head!"

"That's right! From today on, Nyla leads the Goth family!"

"Dominic and Camilla have no strength or integrity-they don't deserve to lead! Get them out of here!"

One by one, the other family members stepped forward, voicing their support for Nyla.

Andrew had not forced a single word out of them, but now it was clear-Dominic had lost the trust and loyalty of his entire family.

Camilla grabbed Dominic's shirt, sobbing in panic. "Dominic! Do something! Say something!"

However, Dominic shut his eyes, looking like a hollowed-out shell. "It's over. We're done. Didn't you hear them? Everyone wants us gone."

Camilla exploded. "Useless! You're a complete disgrace! Nyla is your daughter— beg her! Beg her not to go through with this! Do it!"

The realization hit Dominic like a lightning bolt. He scrambled across the floor toward Nyla. "Nyla, I was wrong. I'm sorry-I truly regret everything! Please, give me

chance. Spare me and Camilla... we'll do anything!"
