Chapter 265
Christina gritted her teeth and said, “We can’t match the Weller family in a fight. Our only option is to stall Harvey until the family representative arrives.”
With a loud bang, her office door was kicked open. Harvey strode in with a smirk on his face, followed by over a dozen Weller family enforcers.
“Christie, my dear fiancee, I can’t wait for us to get married!” Harvey’s voice was menacing despite his gentle expression.
Christina took a deep breath and met Harvey’s gaze directly. “Harvey, whatever was between us is long over. If you’re a real man, stop with these desperate tactics–just tell me what you
want.”
Harvey sneered. “Over? How convenient for you to say that. After everything I’ve invested in you, do you think you can just end it? Where does that leave my reputation?”
“I never asked for anything from you or your family,” Christina replied, struggling to contain her anger. “What exactly did you invest in me?”
Harvey declared shamelessly, “I don’t care about any of that–the Stevens family owes us, period. If you don’t show some sincerity, don’t blame me for getting nasty.”
Leroy exploded and barked, “Have you no shame? We owe your family? Why don’t you just rob us outright, you piece of trash!”
“You
Harvey kicked Leroy harshly, sending him crashing to the ground and throwing up. idiot, who do you think you are to run your mouth at me? I used to tolerate you because I wanted Christie, but now? I can end you in a second!”
Then, Harvey spat contemptuously on Leroy’s face, humiliating him thoroughly.
“Leroy, are you alright?” Irene cried out in anguish. “Harvey, you’re a monster, bullying those weaker than you–you’ll pay for this!”
Though Irene cursed at Harvey, she quickly fell silent under his cold glare, tears streaming down her face as she trembled in fear.
Christina shook with rage, feeling utterly humiliated. This was not the first time Harvey had beaten and humiliated Irene and Leroy, but each time, she was powerless to stop it.
She had thought she could handle Harvey’s thuggish behavior, but when push came to shove, she realized all her plans and strategies meant nothing against the Weller family’s brute force. Harvey smirked. “Christie, I know you hate me now and find me repulsive. But I don’t care–I just want to possess you. Once I have you and take over Stevens Corporation, winning your heart will be inevitable!”
Harvey laughed triumphantly, clearly pleased with himself. The Weller family enforcers wore expressions of contempt, knowing they could crush this small family business however they
wanted.
“Just tell me what it will take for you to leave our family alone,” Christina shouted, her eyes red with desperation.
