Chapter 58
Harvey smirked. “Andrew, I understand how you feel. You’re upset because I plan to propose to Christie with that King of Diamonds. But you should know that in Jayrodale, I always get what I want.
He added condescendingly, “Even if you’re unhappy, there’s nothing you can do about it. Why not hand it over nicely? I might even let you make a few hundred thousand on the deal and give you a chance to earn some real money!”
Andrew found himself laughing at this. “I originally thought the King of Diamonds wasn’t doing much good just sitting in my possession. I wouldn’t have minded letting either of you have it. But now I’ve changed my mind. I can assure you that this diamond is completely off- limits to you.
While he did not want to waste energy on such ignorant fools, he was no pushover. Since they were acting all high and mighty, Andrew figured it was time to put them in their place.
Harvey’s smile turned cold. “You’re surprisingly confident! You clearly don’t understand what I’m capable of. Honestly, if it weren’t for Christie, do you think I’d be speaking to you so politely?”
“So, Mr. Weller, are you threatening a humble doctor like me?” Andrew asked with an amused smile.
Harvey snorted. “Don’t get ahead of yourself. You’re just Mr. Yates’s lapdog. I’ve figured out all your so–called achievements. If I want that diamond, I just need to make a phone call to Mr. Yates. Did you really think you were somebody important?”
“I may be nobody, but at least I’m not you, Mr. Weller,” Andrew replied calmly. “And I’ll say it again. Even if your father himself came asking, the King of Diamonds wouldn’t be for sale!”
Harvey’s face darkened instantly. “Fine, we’ll see about that!”
He thought that while this insignificant pest dared to defy him repeatedly, he would wait to deal with him. First, he wanted the audience to watch him win Christina over–that would make his victory all the sweeter.
Christina shook her head at Andrew. “Ahdrew, I don’t understand why you’re doing this! Remember when Harvey helped you with that trouble with Dylan? Are you really so insecure that you can’t stand seeing others doing better?”
Andrew scoffed. “Christina, here’s some truth: you’re just an arrogant fool!”
Christina was speechless with anger. She could not stand how Andrew had become so cold and rude since their breakup, so different from the gentle person she once knew.
It was already evening when Andrew left the Stevens family residence. He took a cab back to
his place, but as soon as he stepped out of the car, a mocking voice called out.

Chapter 58
“Well, if it isn’t Dr. Lloyd! Moving up in the world, aren’t you? Living in Moonlit Sanctuary!”
Andrew turned to see Francesca looking at him disdainfully, She was dressed in workout gear, having just returned from a run. He had always found her annoying, so he tried to walk away without engaging.
However, Francesca followed him, sneering. “Andrew, be honest–did Lauren buy this place for you?”
“I don’t know what you’re talking about. I’ve always lived here,” Andrew replied flatly.
Francesca scoffed. “Always lived here? How come I’ve never seen you before? Moonlit Sanctuary is Jayrodale’s most exclusive neighborhood. You expect me to believe Lauren didn’t buy this for you?”
Andrew shrugged. “I don’t care what you believe. But you’d better show me some respect. Without my help, you might never experience the pleasure of being with a man!”
