Chapter 3 Commander of Seven-League
Chapter 3 Commander of Seven-League
What Andrew said made Ashley speechless. Andrew was just a soldier, how dare he talking down to
him like that.
He pointed at Andrew angrily and yelled, “You’re just a leech and a useless bum. I gave you some face
and you didn’t appreciate it. Take the money and leave!”
Andrew stood up slowly and stared straight into Ashley’s eyes. He would be already dead if they were
on the battlefield.
“What? Do you want to fight me?”
“Let me say it again, you don’t deserve Emily,” said Andrew word by word.
Emily felt warm inside seeing what Andrew did.
She quickly walked over and said, “Ashley!”
“Ashley, you should leave!” said Emily coldly.
Ashley was taken aback. He said in a shocked voice, “Emily, do you know what you are saying?”
“I know, Ashley. I’ve told you that he’s my man and now he’s back. You should give up on me!”
“What? Emily, what are you thinking? Andrew is just a soldier, he’s a nobody when compared to
Ashley.”
“Enough, Mary. You should leave too,” said Emily unhappily.
Mary was speechless.
Ashley was so mad he bopped his head violently, he said harshly to Emily, “Fine, Emily. You’ll pay for
this.”
“You too, Andrew!” Ashley swung his hand angrily and walked out of the house.
Mary watched Ashley as he left. Only Emily and her family were left in the house. She glared at Andrew
and ran out as well.
“Andrew, do you know what have you done? Do you know how important Mr. Hudson is to our family?
Our company would be done for without his help,” Eden couldn’t help but yelp.
The Martin family was facing financial issues after the Clark family got into trouble. They planned to
cooperate with Ashley’s company to make things stable, and hence they schemed something like this.
“As I said, he doesn’t deserve Emily. I will handle the issue with the company!” said Andrew calmly.
“You, handle the issue?” said Eden in anger, “Talk is easy, but do you even have the money?”
“I don’t!”
“Then how are you going to help?”
“Having Ray Fraser investing in your company will be better than having Ashley, no?” asked Andrew
nonchalantly.
Eden was dumbfounded, who was Ray Fraser again? Well, he was the richest man in Southwest
Region. He had a net worth of more than tens of billions, if he were to invest in their company, their
company would be no doubt successful. Recently Ray was planning to invest in K City, but even so, his
company didn’t even stand the chance to participate in the conference.
Not only his company but even the Y.X. Group also might not interest Ray.
Andrew was only a soldier, how could he get to know important people like Ray?
“Emily, this is his true face. Unsuccessful and full of bull shit. I won’t care about your matter anymore.
Your grandfather will talk to you. You are a troublemaker.” Eden walked away furiously after he said
that.
Rosa was about to say something to Andrew, but Emily interrupted her.
“Andrew, come with me. I have something to say.”
Emily brought Andrew to her room on the second floor.
She looked at Andrew and felt grateful, but she had suffered too much in the past 6 months. She had
expectations towards Andrew, but it was slowly turning into hatred. She hated Andrew for not showing
up when she needed him the most.
After a brief pause, she said coldly, “Andrew, I wasn’t trying to help you just now. I just don’t like Ashley.
I didn’t do it because I liked you.”
“I know!” answered Andrew plainly.
Emily felt dejected seeing Andrew so indifferent, but she didn’t let it show on her face. She continued
saying, “You can stay here for the time being, but please don’t say stuff that you shouldn’t say and do
stuff that you shouldn’t do. The Clark family is not like before anymore.”
Andrew felt a sharp pain in his heart hearing her say that. She had to feel very helpless to say
something like that.
“Okay! I understand,” replied Andrew simply. But in his mind, he was thinking, ‘Don’t worry, the Clark
family will be even more powerful than before. The Clark family will become the most influential family
in K City, and you will be the head of the family.”
Emily frowned slightly, “Also, stop bluffing. I know you are trying to save your face, but I hate liars.”
Andrew was taken aback. He wanted to explain that he wasn’t bluffing. Though he thought about it and
just nodded. Time would prove everything!
“Right!” said Andrew as if he suddenly thought about something, “If you ever meet someone who loves
you and deserves you, I will leave.”
Emily felt her heart throbbed and she glared at Andrew and said sullenly, “Of course.”
“I have a gathering at night, come with me!”
“Alright!” answered Andrew concisely.
At night, it’s about Emily’s gathering.
“I would never think that we could gather again like this after 5 years. It wasn’t an easy feat, it wasn’t
easy,” said Olivier Bradley from the Bradley Group.
The Bradley Group was also a well-known enterprise in K City, having an asset of around 100 million.
“Yeah, nothing much else changed except for Ms. Clark and her family. Their family crumbled, her
father died, and their money was all used up. Everyone’s family here is worth at least tens of millions.”
Cayden Webb from the Cayden Group said as he smiled at Emily who was sitting in the corner.
Emily’s face was turning green. Everyone gave a shove to the falling wall! Before her family lost power,
Cayden was her most loyal follower, always calling her missus like a loyal dog.
But now, he was laughing at her.
Jason Cook waved his hand and said, “You shouldn’t say that, Cayden. Life is full of ups and downs. It
is a good learning opportunity to experience something like that. Frankly speaking, I am quite jealous of
Ms. Clark, she has the chance to experience the down of life.”
“Hahaha!”
Jason made everyone laugh.
Their mocking made Emily uncomfortable. Andrew saw everything and he raised his hand quietly and
grabbed Emily’s hand. He whispered in her ears, “Don’t worry, I’m here.”
Short and concise, but it calmed Emily down. She felt safe being grabbed by his large hand, she felt
like she could hide behind him.
Jason was Maxwell Cook’s youngest son. Their family was the second most influential in K City. 5
years ago he was enlisted along with Andrew. He soon left the troop and the family then pulled some
strings and got him the position as the Deputy Commander of a division at K City.
Cayden tried to lick Jason’s boot and said, “Mr. Cook, I heard that you are currently the Deputy Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
Commander of the division in K City, is that true?”
Jason said shamelessly, “Yeah, the people on top wanted me to take the Commander position. But I
think I am still young and hence I rejected the offer. Also, you will have much more responsibility as a
commander, the Deputy Commander can be more chill.”
Cayden put his thumbs up and praised Jason, “Mr. Cook, you sure are successful in life. To be able to
get the position as the Deputy Commander without depending on your family pulling strings, you are
indeed our role model. Cheers to you.”
Everyone stood up and put their thumbs up!
“Oh right! I suddenly remembered that your fiancé, Andrew Stone, joined the military around the same
time as me, Ms. Clark. What’s his current position?” Jason purposely asked arrogantly while looking at
Andrew.
Suddenly, all eyes were on Andrew.
Being the centre of attention, Emily felt embarrassed and wanted to leave.
But Andrew tightened his grip on Emily’s hand and said calmly, “The Seven League’s
Commander!”
