Chapter 634
Stephen puffed on his cigar slowly, then scoffed, “Kid, you hear that? The two ladies don’t even care about your life anymore. Now, if you come over here, kneel, and clean my shoes until they shine, and then pay Kenneth half a million in medical fees, I might let you live.”
Andrew, with Marcus at his side, walked into Stephen’s office slowly, not rushing. He glanced around and casually sat on the left side of the couch.
“Mr. Brunner, that’s a bit much,” he said coolly. “I hit him because he deserved it. Besides, he started it, and I only defended myself. Also, Mr. Brunner, you insulted people from Rhodes Corporation’s Pharmaceutical Division. I came here to ask for an apology. Is that really too much to ask?”
Stephen froze for a second as if he could not believe his ears. Then he sneered, “What? You came here to ask me for an apology? Are you serious? You want to ask me for an apology?”
Then, Stephen burst out laughing, like he had just heard the funniest joke in the world.
Kenneth wiped blood from his face, grinning maliciously. Mr. Brunner, I told you this punk was out of his mind. Now it’s clear, it’s not just arrogance–he’s actually insane He dares to say such things in front of someone like you! He’s just asking for death, plain and simple!”
Aspen looked on with disdain and sneered, “Andrew, you talk all big on other people’s turf, but you’re way out of your league here.”
Christina scoffed, “Aspen, don’t bother. In the end, the trouble he’s caused will come back to him, a hundred times over.”
Aspen raised an eyebrow, turning to Christina. “Christie, you were his ex, aren’t you worried? What if Mr. Brunner punishes him so badly that he comes crawling to you for help?”
Christina’s face remained emotionless. “I’ve long since moved on from him. He never listens, and now he’s sunk so low, mixing with the worst of the worst. Whether he lives or dies is none of my concern.”
Andrew’s voice remained calm. “Seems like the Stevens family is really sick. One by one, getting dumber. Aspen, haven’t you learned your lesson yet?
“And you, Christina, you know the state of Stevens Corporation, but now you’re meddling in the pharmaceutical business? You must be in a hurry to finish off Stevens Corporation’s foundation.”
Aspen’s anger flared. “Andrew, we’ll settle the score for what happened before, don’t worry. But first, you need to figure out how to get past Mr. Brunner.”
Christina’s expression turned sour. Andrew’s scolding tone made it feel as if she had done something wrong, and it made her uncomfortable.
“Andrew, Stevens Corporation is the Stevens family’s business, not yours,” she said sharply. “So whatever industry I choose to enter or whatever I want to do is my decision, not yours.”
Andrew nodded indifferently. “Of course, you’re a great visionary. You built Stevens Corporation into a billion- dollar empire, after all. So what you do is far beyond someone like me to understand. But I just want to remind you that the Stevens family has already lost a lot.”
He added, “Being around someone like Aspen, with her shady ways, will only drag you down. It’s only a matter of time before she takes you down with her.”
Christina’s eyebrows shot up in anger. “Andrew, that’s enough! What I do and who I associate with is none of your business.”

She honestly couldn’t understand how Andrew thought he had the right to talk to her this way.
Even though Andrew had already achieved quite a bit, Christina still felt like he was far behind her, still struggling in the lower ranks.
