“Mom, please stop it with the flattery–there are people here,” Christina said uncomfortably.
Then, she asked, “Harvey, has the paperwork on the East Side redevelopment investment you mentioned earlier been approved? What’s the status?”
Harvey immediately broke into a confident smile. “You’re right, Christie. The documents have been officially approved. I was planning to surprise you when you woke up, but you beat it to me.”
“Does this mean my 15–million–dollar investment return is coming?” Irene asked excitedly. Leroy chimed in eagerly, “Harvey, don’t forget about me! I’m not as greedy as Mom–just a few million will do. I’ll immediately buy a Bugatti, and it’ll make someone’s cheap car look like trash.”
He shot a deliberate smirk at Andrew as he spoke.
Andrew ignored the fool who was counting on the East Side investment money to buy a luxury car. In fact, these two idiots would be lucky if they had enough money left to buy even a meal- when this was all over.
Harvey said generously, “Don’t worry, Mrs. Stevens, Leroy. Like I promised, you’ll all make a nice profit. Just wait for the money to come in.”
Christina felt a surge of excitement. “Harvey, when will the payout payments be released?”
Stevens Corporation desperately needed cash flow since she had invested most of their liquid

“Harvey, my precious son–in–law!” Irene exclaimed joyfully. “You’re not just handsome, but so brilliant with investments and finance. I can’t even find words to describe how perfect you are!”
Christina smiled warmly. “Thank you, Harvey. You’ve really helped Stevens Corporation enormously this time.”
Harvey was incredibly pleased with himself. Since returning home, everything he ventured into failed, but finally, he could hold his head high again.
He decided that as soon as the payout came through and had the Stevens family singing his praises, he would seize the moment to propose to Christina.
Harvey knew that winning over Christina would ot be easy. Every time he tried to get closer

she kept him at arm’s length. He understood that conquering Christina would require real skill and dedication, but this time, he was determined to win her over completely.
He could not wait to get between her gorgeous legs, conquering her in all the ways he could.
As Harvey indulged in his triumphant thoughts and Christina’s alluring beauty, his throat grew dry with anticipation. Looking around, he noticed everyone seemed either happy, joyful, or envious–everyone except Andrew, who wore an expression of pure amusement.
