Chapter 205
Harvey felt the sting of humiliation but could only swallow his anger in silence. He was about to take over the Weller family, and he could not afford to make any mistakes now.
Although Finley was a nuisance, Harvey knew that the Hidden Dragons had too much power for the Weller family to risk angering them.
Michael stepped forward, playing peacemaker with fake sincerity. “Gentlemen, we’re all respectable people here, and the auction is about to begin. Why don’t we head inside?”
“Fine, let’s attend the auction first,” Finley replied haughtily. “But my love for Ms. Stevens is as clear as day, and I won’t rest until she’s mine. Mr. Weller, you’d better do the right thing and step aside!”
His arrogant words were another blatant insult. The onlookers silently noted that since Finley came from the martial arts clans of Gabo Creek, no one in Jayrodale would dare challenge his authority tonight.
Just then, a Mercedes G–Wagon pulled up forcefully in front of the Radiant Group building. A tall man in an impeccable suit stepped out and shoved Finley aside, nearly causing him to fall face–first.
“Move! You’re blocking the way!” the man barked.
Finley stumbled, furious, and spun around, ready to lash out. “Who the hell pushed me? Are you that eager for death?”
His two attendants were about to attack but immediately backed off when they recognized the newcomer. They exclaimed fearfully, “It’s you!”
The crowd was stunned. Finley had always been the loudest and most arrogant person around, but this newcomer was even more aggressive.
“Andrew,” a few people muttered, and their reactions were mixed–some shocked, somet furious, some cold.
Michael sneered, “Andrew, you’ve got some nerve laying hands on Mr. Moore. You’d better get on your knees and pray he doesn’t destroy you.”
Harvey, eager to vent his frustration, joined in. “Andrew, you’re in trouble now. Do you have any idea who Mr. Moore is? How dare you touch him?”
Andrew gave him a mocking glance. “Just moments ago, you were being humiliated as if you were worth nothing. Now you’re stepping up to lick their boots? Harvey, I didn’t realize you were such a groveling lapdog.”
“How dare you!” Harvey exploded, but he noticed many people looking at him with disgust.
Even Christina stepped away from him, shaking her head in disappointment.

“Christie, I-” Harvey tried to explain.
Christina turned away coldly, cutting him off, “Save it, Harvey. Your dad is seriously ill and still fighting for the Weller family. As his successor, I hope you don’t completely destroy what little reputation the Weller family has left.”
Finley had reached his breaking point and snarled, “You pathetic pretty boy, you keep disrespecting me–you must have a death wish.
After being slapped by Andrew earlier that day, Finley was already boiling with anger. The thought that this “useless” man had the audacity to defy him in front of so many high- society people was something Finley could not let slide.
