Chapter 264
“But last time at the Weller residence, Andrew managed to walk away unharmed from the family elders,” Irene persisted hopefully.
Christina shook her head and said, “Mom, Andrew might have some skills now, but the situation isn’t as simple as what you saw. After returning from the Weller residence, I spoke with both Bruce and Jackie. They confirmed that Androw only succeeded because of them. If they hadn’t already worn down the Weller family elders‘ strength beforehand, Andrew would have been walking to his death.”
“Oh, so that’s how it was!” Irene exclaimed with sudden understanding. “I was wondering why those two would be so kind as to help us–they were just letting Andrew take the credit!”
“That’s why I never considered asking Andrew for help,” Christina explained. “Now that Harvey has his way, Andrew can barely protect himself, let alone help others.”
Irene spat in disgust, “And here I thought that loser was some hidden strength–turns out he’s just as useless as ever. I must have been blind to think he could save us.”
“I actually think Andrew is keeping his true abilities hidden,” Leroy said skeptically. “Christie, maybe we’ve been wrong about him all along. What if he really is powerful?”
Christina responded icily,
This isn’t the time for jokes like that. Stevens Corporation has weathered many storms, and the Weller family won’t be our downfall. Since we don’t have better options, I want to see what Harvey can really do to us.”
“Christie, are you planning to fight Harvey to the bitter end?” Irene asked.
Christina’s eyes gleamed with determination as she replied, “Yes, that’s exactly what I plan to do. Moreover, Bruce and Jackie have already contacted their superiors again. This time, they’re sending direct family members to reinforce us.
Irene and Leroy’s faces lit up with joy. “That’s fantastic! The direct family members must be incredible. Harvey’s good days are numbered!”
Christina said calmly, “Brute force alone won’t solve our problems. I heard the family member coming isn’t a fighter, but rather an expert in strategy and management”
She continued, “They’re here to help us,break free from the Weller family and align with Blumedale. It’s perfect timing–I want to learn how to manage the corporation better and strengthen our family.”
Irene chimed in excitedly, “The direct family members are all carefully groomed from childhood and educated abroad. Not just you, Christie–Leroy and I should also learn from them and improve ourselves!”
Just then, Christina’s secretary burst into the room. “Ms. Stevens, Mr. Weller has stormed into the corporation with his men!”

Christina was shocked but remained composed she sald coldly, “That bastard sure is fast. Tell security to hold them off for now.”
The secretary’s face was pale as she trembled and explained, “Ms. Stevens, the security team, has already tried to stop them, but It was useless The Weller family’s men beat them all up, and now they can’t even move.”
“Useless cowards, every single one of them!” Irene cursed loudly.
Then, her bravado faltered, and she turned to Christina, asking desperately, “Christie, what do we do? Quick, think of something!”
