Before Andrew could answer, Irene exploded, “Andrew, would it kill you not to brag? Harvey’s obviously the one helping behind the scenes. Have you no shame?”
Andrew smirked. “If he’s helping, where is he? Or is he suddenly too humble to take credit for his good deeds?”
Irene was at a loss for words, her face darkening Christina also found it strange that Harvey had not shown up even though everything was over, wondering if he had not received her messages or if there was another reason.
Just then, a sports car came speeding up, and Harvey rushed out. “Christie, I’m so sorry I’m late. Something came up,” he apologized immediately, looking troubled.
Irene’s face lit up. “See? I knew Harvey was helping us behind the scenes. Why else would Mr. Thatcher take our side?”
“Earlier, Nelson, the bank manager, refused the loan and got handsy with me, but it’s all sorted now,” Christina explained.
Harvey’s face darkened with rage. “That pervert dared to touch you? Don’t worry, Christie. I’ll make sure that bastard can’t show his face in this town again. No one messes with my fiancee, whether they’re a bank manager or someone even higher up–they’ll pay dearly for it.”
“That’s our Harvey–always so powerful and commanding,” Leroy said admiringly.
Harvey’s expression turned serious as he held up his hand. “This is my fault for not being careful enough. I almost let Christie get hurt. Christie, I apologize and take full responsibility!”
Irene was beaming at his gentlemanly behavior, thinking what a humble son–in–law he was, taking responsibility even when he had done nothing wrong. She could not imagine a better match for her daughter.
Christina’s lingering frustration melted away. This was the Harvey she knew–reliable, responsible, and raised with good morals.
Then, Christina turned to Andrew with a smile. “Andrew, let’s grab something together. “I’d like to thank you properly.”
“No need for thanks,” Andrew replied. “Since you believe Mr. Weller helped, you should thank him instead.”
Christina frowned, sensing a hidden meaning in his words.
“Andrew, you’re just jealous of Harvey again!” Irene snapped. “We’re being nice by inviting you to a meal. So don’t be ungrateful!”
Leroy scoffed and mocked, “Well, Andrew? Convinced now that Harvey was the one who got Mr. Thatcher involved? What do you have to say for yourself?”

“I have to say, everyone in your family is exactly the same,” Andrew remarked indifferently. “What do you mean? That we can see right through your fake act?” Leroy said smugly.
Andrew looked at him and stated calmly, “No, I meant you’re all idiots.”
“You son of a…” Leroy choked on his words, fuming.
“Leroy, that’s enough!” Christina commanded. Then, she turned to Andrew with a stern voice. “Andrew, you did help me a lot with the loan, but insulting people like this is going too far!”
Harvey interjected, smiling. “Andrew, I know what you’re thinking–you think I was too cowardly to help, right?”
“I couldn’t care less about that,” Andrew replied, smirking.
