“I just don’t want someone to be twisting the truth and taking credit for another person’s hard work,” Andrew said calmly.
Harvey shook his head with a wry smile. “Andrew, your bias against me keeps growing, and I don’t even know what I did to offend you.
He pulled out his phone and showed Christina, Irene, and the others his call history. “Look, I called Mr. Thatcher an hour ago. Here’s the proof”
“Now, what do you have to say for yourself?” Irene shouted at Andrew.
Leroy smirked. “Mr. Thatcher obviously came to help us an hour ago because of Harvey’s call. Andrew, stop trying to compete with Harvey–he’s out of your league.”
Harvey sighed dramatically and said, “Actually, I didn’t just call Mr. Thatcher. I also had our family’s connections ready to step in, along with several other powerful allies. I could have had people here in minutes if Christie needed them.”
“Harvey, you’re absolutely incredible!” Leroy exclaimed, giving him a thumbs up.
Andrew shook his head, amazed at how the Stevens family could build such elaborate narratives from a simple phone record. Without his presence, they would not have stood a chance against Nelson.
Mark was too seasoned for that. He probably knew about Nelson’s shady dealings all along but had no reason to crack down. Yet, they really believed Mark would have taken down one of his own men out of some sense of justice.
Politicians like Mark were experts at weighing their options. To him, sacrificing Nelson was a small price to pay to keep Andrew happy.
Christina invited Andrew again, though her warmth had turned to ice. “Mr. Lloyd, please join us for dinner. Besides showing our gratitude, I have some business matters to discuss with you.”
Even her tone had become formal, switching to her form of address to “Mr. Lloyd“.
“We should definitely treat Andrew to dinner as thanks,” Harvey remarked with an earnest expression. “Christie, let me handle this–it’s my treat.”
Soon, they arrived at an upscale private restaurant. Irene could not help but comment, ” Harvey, this place looks expensive.”
Harvey chuckled. “Don’t worry about it, Mrs. Stevens. The important thing is that we enjoy ourselves. Money’s no object.”
“Christie, why don’t you all go ahead and order? I’d like to chat with Andrew and get to know him better!”

Irene rolled her eyes and muttered sarcastically, “Harvey’s truly perfect. Someone could learn from his example.”
Harvey’s smile vanished as soon as the Stevens family left, replaced by a sinister expression.
“Listen here, Andrew. If you mess this up for me, I have a thousand ways to end you. Don’t think being Mr. Thatcher’s new favorite means you can interfere with my plans. I’ve put up with you stealing what should have been mine for way too long!”
Harvey’s face was twisted with anger, all his previous pretense gone.
Andrew remained perfectly calm. “Is that a threat?”
