Harvey’s smile turned sinister. “So what if it’s a threat? I’m Harvey Weller, heir to the Weller family and the most prominent of Jayrodale’s elite four. If I weren’t worried about Christie getting suspicious, I would have taken you down already.”
Andrew chuckled, unfazed. “You’re awfully confident. Well then, why don’t you go ahead and try?”
Harvey narrowed his eyes, and he mocked, “What do you have that could possibly match me, Andrew? I know what you’re after–it’s Christina. While she’s out of your league, I’ll have her in my grasp any moment now. Then, I can have her any way I want, whenever I want.”
Andrew replied calmly. “Christina and I have nothing to do with each other anymore, and your don’t need to flaunt your superiority. But let me warn you–don’t push your luck. I’m not as patient as you think, and if you go too far, both you and the Weller family might regret it.”
With that, Andrew walked into the private dining room smiling, brushing past Harvey like he was nothing more than an annoying insect.
Harvey clenched his fists, his eyes burning with rage. He could not believe that a loser like Andrew dared to threaten not just him, but the entire Weller family.
With their power, crushing Andrew would be easier than stepping on insects. Nonetheless, there was no rush. Once he had Christina completely under his thumb, he would make sure to humiliate Andrew thoroughly.
“Harvey, the food’s here. Let’s eat!” Leroy called out. However, he noticed something was off and asked, “Harvey, are you okay? You don’t look so good.”
Harvey forced a laugh. “I’m fine, Leroy. What do you think of me? Am I worthy of Christie? Be honest with me!”
Leroy immediately gave him a thumbs–up. “Harvey, you’re like a god among men–absolutely perfect for Christie. Honestly, you two are a match made in heaven!”
Harvey chuckled, feeling much better. He wished Andrew could see how the Stevens family viewed him as the embodiment of perfection. He could not understand how a nobody like Andrew dared to challenge him.
At the table, Andrew helped himself with the food without hesitation.
“Andrew, slow down before you choke,” Christina said with concern.
Irene glared at her daughter and whispered, “Christie, you’re focusing on the wrong person!”
“Mom, I was just reminding him!” Christina sighed.
Leroy eagerly poured red wine for Harvey. “Harvey, let me make a toast to you.”

“Pour me some too,” Andrew said casually, setting his glass down.
“Why can’t you pour it yourself?” Leroy snapped “What makes you think I should serve you?”
“Who do you think you are, making my precious son pour your wine?” Irene added angrily.
“What’s wrong with him pouring my wine?” Andrew replied indifferently. “Have you forgotten that I’m in charge of the orphanage project? You invited me to dinner as your business partner, so shouldn’t you be serving the wine?”
Irene was furious but held her tongue when she remembered Andrew’s position. Like it or not, Stevens Corporation had to play nice with a Wealthroller Investments executive.
Leroy slammed the bottle down and huffed. “Pour it yourself. I’m not your servant.”
Andrew wiped his mouth and started to stand. “Well, if Stevens Corporation shows so little sincerity, perhaps we should put the South City Orphanage project on hold.”
“Andrew, is it really worth making such a big deal over a glass of wine?” Christina frowned.
