Chapter 29
“Mr. Weller just saved your life. Don’t you think you owe him a thank you?”
“I bet he’s just Jealous of Mr. Weller’s status and influence!”
The crowd’s attitude toward Andrew turned even more disdainful. Some even considered teaching Andrew a lesson to impress Harvey.
Christina frowned. “Andrew, Harvey’s intervention calmed things down with Mr. Garner. Is it so hard to show gratitude for helping us both?”
Before Andrew could respond, Harvey waved his hand dismissively. “Christie, there’s no need to force him. You know I don’t do favors expecting anything in return.”
He turned to Andrew with a smile. “Andrew, right? Christie has told me about you. I should thank you for looking after her these past three years.”
The crowd was impressed by Harvey’s graciousness, further highlighting the contrast with Andrew.
“Mr. Weller’s is such a classy man. That loser can’t match him!”
“Ms. Stevens made the right choice dumping this petty jerk.”
“This loser must be feeling pretty useless right now. But what did he expect, competing with Mr. Weller?”
Francesca shook her head, thinking Andrew had hit rock bottom. There was simply no comparison between him and Harvey.
Christina spoke coldly, “You can’t even say thank you, but Harvey can easily express gratitude. Andrew, you’ve changed, and not for the better. Whatever, do what you want.”
She felt that Andrew had shown nothing but poor behavior, and he was not acting like a man
at
at all. This only made Christina confident that Harvey was the right match for her.
She turned to Harvey and said, “Let’s go. I don’t want to stay here anymore.”
Harvey flashed a charming smile. “Of course, Christie. We can go anywhere you want to go. Your wish is my command. I’ll do anything for you.”
Christina replied icily, “As long as we’re not in this uncomfortable place, anywhere is fine.”
It was obvious to everyone that her words were aimed at Andrew.
“Well then, Andrew, Fran, enjoy your chat. We’ll be going now,” Harvey said politely to
Francesca.
Francesca quickly stood up. “Harvey, don’t worry about us. And thanks again for stepping in earlier.”

Harvey smiled casually. “It’s nothing. But Fran, know the Aicker family has strict rules. You’re safe here, but elsewhere, I might not be able to protect you in time. You should have someone reliable with you.”
Francesca glanced at Andrew, seeing the stark difference between the two men. “Thanks for the advice. I’ll keep that in mind.”
Suddenly, Andrew chuckled. “Sounds like you’re looking down on me.”
Francesca’s face changed. “Andrew, shut up. No one will think you’re mute if you don’t speak.”
The crowd scoffed, “Look, the loser’s getting worked up!”
“Mr. Weller isn’t looking down on him—he’s just ignoring him completely!”
Everyone around them sneered, thinking Andrew was losing his cool.
