Chapter 219
“Harvey, I really can’t marry you,” Christina stated firmly.
The color drained from Harvey’s face as his hand holding the crown began to shake uncontrollably..
Even Irene and Leroy panicked at her response.
“Christie, what nonsense are you talking about? That crown is worth 18 million dollars! Do you think proposals like this grow on trees? Just accept it first!” Irene exclaimed frantically.
“Yeah, Christie,” Leroy chimed in. “At least say yes and get the crown. If you really can’t stand him later, you can always change your mind!”
Christina ignored her family’s shameless greed. She looked at Harvey with unwavering seriousness and said, “Harvey, I don’t think we’re ready for marriage right now. I’m sorry, but I really can’t accept this crown.”
The reality of rejection finally hit Harvey. “Christina, I’ll give you one more chance. Choose your next words very carefully,” he growled, his voice a mixture of humiliation, rage, and hysteria.
The Weller family had stretched themselves thin for this proposal, putting on a show of wealth they could barely afford. This rejection was an outcome Harvey had never anticipated.
“Harvey, you need to calm down,” Christina warned, frowning.
“How the hell can I calm down?” Harvey exploded. “Christina, what gives you the right to reject my proposal? Tell me, what makes me not good enough for you? What makes you think you can refuse me?”
Christina took a deep breath, her disgust evident. “Harvey, haven’t you noticed how classless you’ve become? Recently, you’ve turned into nothing but a clown making a fool of yourself. And now look at you–what are you going to do, hit me?”
Harvey jumped to his feet in a rage. “You stupid bitch, you think you can play me? Let me make this clear–if you dare reject me, I’ll destroy you and the Stevens family!”
His bloodshot eyes and twisted expression frightened even Irene and Leroy. “Harvey, have you lost your mind?” Irene shouted. “Is this how you propose to someone? This looks more. like attempted murder!”
“What’s your deal, Harvey?” Leroy snapped. “Are you threatening Christie? I won’t stand for this–you better watch yourself!”
Harvey’s face contorted as the bottled–up resentment toward the Stevens family erupted.
He screamed, “Get out! All of you get the hell out! Irene, you’re nothing but a greedy, disloyal fat cow! And Leroy, you’re just worthless trash living off others! I’ve been too nice to you all. Who the hell do you think you are to lecture me?”

His violent outburst left Irene and Leroy stunned. Irene recovered first, jumping up and screaming, “Who are you calling a fat cow, you Weller brat? No wonder Christie won’t have you! Get lost! Do you really think the Weller family is all that? Everyone knows your family is nothing but an empty shell now!”
“I always knew you were a two–faced snake, Harvey,” Leroy mocked. “Finally showing your true colors, aren’t you? Let Christie see what you really are just a madman throwing at tantrum!”
“Mom, Leroy, we’re leaving,” Christina said coldly, her face expressionless.
Harvey’s true nature terrified her, but more than that, she felt deeply humiliated. She hated to admit it, but Andrew had been right–she was a fool.
A blind, stupid fool!
