Chapter 133
An uncomfortable silence fell between them in the car. Finally, Christina broke the silence and asked, “Do you still hate me after all this time?”
Andrew chuckled. “You’re overthinking it, Ms. Stevens. Why would I hate you? I’m happy that you’re getting married into such a prestigious family.”
Christina murmured, looking lost. “I can’t tell what it is, but I don’t feel any joy at all from Harvey’s return and proposal.”
“That’s your business, Ms. Stevens. It has nothing to do with me,” Andrew replied coldly. “Can’t you just listen to me?” Christina snapped in frustration.
Andrew fixed her with an icy stare until she nervously looked away. “Look, I spent years listening to you, through your happiness and sadness, always quietly supporting you. But you chose another man’s arms because you thought I was too ordinary for you. You made your choice, so whether it works out or not is your problem, not mine.”
Christina took a deep breath, her eyes regaining their determination. “No matter what, I believe I made the right choice. Looking at where I am now, both my career and my life are thriving.”
“Is that so?” Andrew smirked. “Well, Ms. Stevens, I hope you continue to shine and lead Stevens Corporation to become one of the great family empires.”
“I know you’re being sarcastic,” Christina replied confidently. “But I truly believe I can lead Stevens Corporation to greater heights. Just wait and see!”
Andrew simply smirked and kept mum. This woman was as arrogant as ever and, sadly, just as foolish. She really thought she could grow Stevens Corporation by herself, completely blind to the pitfalls surrounding her–especially Harvey.
Andrew could already see major trouble looming over Stevens Corporation.
Passing by a row of luxury car dealerships, Andrew asked to stop.
“What’s wrong?” Christina asked as she pulled over.
“Nothing special,” Andrew said, opening the door. “I just noticed these dealerships. I might as well buy a car while we’re here. It’ll be more convenient anyway.“.
Christina got out too and suggested, “Andrew, if you want to buy a car, we should go to West End. These are all high–end dealerships–Mercedes, BMW, Audi, Porsche.”
She worried Andrew might embarrass himself.
“There’s no need to travel that far,” Andrew said dismissively. “This is fine. It’s just a means of transportation anyway.”

A young saleswoman greeted them as they entered the Porsche dealership. “Sir, are you interested in purchasing a vehicle?”
After a quick look around, Andrew pointed to a black Panamera. “I’ll take this one. Please process the paperwork right away.”
“Sir, you want to take it now?” the saleswoman asked, surprised. She had never seen someon make such a quick decision on a luxury car worth hundreds of thousands.
“This car is very expensive. Are you sure about this?” Christina whispered.
Andrew looked puzzled. “We’re already here, so of course I’m buying. Why wouldn’t I?”
Christina felt exasperated, wondering if Andrew even knew what kind of car this was. She could not believe he was confidently buying a Porsche, and the top–of–the–line model at that. Meanwhile, Andrew had already handed over his card to the saleswoman.
With a beeping sound, the receipt for over 450 thousand dollars slowly printed out. The saleswoman was visibly excited, her attitude toward Andrew now distinctly more respectful and eager to please.
These
S, anyone who could buy a luxury car worth hundreds of thousands without batting an eye was surely someone important.
Christina stood there dumbfounded, staring at the long string of numbers on the receipt. She could not help but wonder where he got this kind of money to spend hundreds of thousands on a car so casually.
