Chapter 93
“I wonder if this executive is a man or woman,” Leroy mused dreamily. “If it’s a woman, I wouldn’t mind being with her, even if she’s older.”
Christina frowned. “As a Stevens, is that all you aspire to be? Besides, do you really think a Wealthroller Investments executive would be interested in you?”
Leroy looked hurt. “Mom, look! Christie doesn’t respect my goals. These days, getting by on charm alone is a skill! Look at that freeloader Andrew–he’s now living off that rich girl from the Rhodes family. Honestly, I’m jealous!”
Irene nodded in agreement. “Christie, Leroy isn’t wrong. Money and status are hard to come by these days. If a female executive from Wealthroller Investments takes a liking to him, I’d fully support it.”
Christina gave up arguing, tired of her mother and brother’s mindset. However, she was determined not to let her brother become like Andrew. She believed that a man living off women’s wealth was simply unacceptable.
Just then, Andrew arrived at the orphanage. As soon as he walked in, he spotted Christina’s family.
Irene saw him too and scoffed. “Andrew, you’re really everywhere, aren’t you? Wherever Christie goes, you’ll surely be there. Don’t you have any self–respect?”
Christina frowned at Andrew’s presence, wondering why he was following them to the
construction site.
Leroy barked, “Get lost, Andrew. You’re annoying, and you need to understand that you and Christie have no future together!”
Owen Maloney, a Wealthroller Investments executive, approached with a cold expression. ” Ms. Stevens, what’s the meaning of this? Are you trying to sabotage our partnership?”
“Mr. Maloney, what do you mean?” Christina asked, bewildered.
Irene tried to smooth things over with a nervous laugh. “Mr. Maloney, we’re just shooing Irene tried to smooth things over with a away an annoying pest, nothing more.”
“The only pest I see is you!” Owen exploded. “This is Mr. Andrew Lloyd, the project director 1 told you about!”
The Stevens family froze in shock. It seemed impossible for Andrew, the man they saw as a gold digger, to be a senior executive at Wealthroller Investments.
Leroy was in disbelief and said, “Mr. Maloney, there must be some mistake. This guy was Jiving off Christie. He can’t possibly be a Wealthroller executive!”
Owen responded by slapping Leroy across the face. “How dare you disrespect Mr. Lloyd! The project is canceled–you can all get out!”

Turning to Andrew, Owen bowed apologetically, his legs trembling. “Mr. Lloyd, I’m so sorry for bringing you here. This was all Mr. Yates‘ arrangement.”
Owen could hardly contain his rage at the Stevens family’s behavior. These insignificant people had just insulted someone even Marvin respected. They must have a death wish.
