Andrew simply smiled and continued eating his dinner, brushing them off.
The chapter with Christina had long since closed, and their paths had diverged completely. As for the Stevens family and Harvey, Andrew no longer felt the need to be overly courteous or put on a show of politeness for them.
From another perspective, his current standing did not allow him to maintain a low profile anymore. If Harvey played it smart and stayed in his lane, Andrew would not bother him.
However, as he had mentioned before, if this self–proclaimed number–one heir of Jayrodale decided to cross him, he would not hesitate to take action. 1
It would not matter if it were just Harvey or the entire Weller family with their prestigious status he would crush them all. After all, even before coming to Jayrodale, Andrew had already dealt with his fair share of so–called elite families.
Leroy said through gritted teeth, “Andrew, showing off in front of us is one thing, but do you really think your petty identity is enough to challenge the Weller family?”
“First of all, I haven’t provoked your precious brother–in–law,” Andrew replied indifferently.
“Secondly, if you or Mr. Weller have a problem with me, you’re welcome to try your luck.”
Leroy was absolutely fuming his blood boiling. He thought Andrew was just too arrogant and disrespectful.
Christina frowned. ” Andrew, that’s enough. Nobody here has really wronged you, have they?”
Harvey’s eyes were cold, but he maintained a casual smile. “Let it go, Christie. Andrew clearly had too much to drink. With our family’s status, it’s natural to attract some resentment. I understand that.”
Andrew chuckled. “Ah yes, the mighty Weller family. Though I’ve heard that your business empire in Jayrodale has been shrinking in recent years, and your family’s standing has taken quite a hit.”
Harvey’s expression changed, but he remained silent. In truth, he was actually shocked that this guy knew so much about the Weller family’s situation.
Irene sneered. “The Weller family’s status is declining? Andrew, don’t embarrass yourself with your ignorance. Ask anyone on the streets–everyone knows the Weller family is one of the leading powers in Jayrodale.”
“Think whatever makes you happy,” Andrew replied dismissively. “But the truth is often known only to a select few.”
Irene scoffed. “You’re just as pretentious as ever. Who could possibly challenge the Weller family’s position in Jayrodale nowadays?

“Besides, once Harvey takes over, the family will reach even greater heights–maybe even dominate all of Jayrodale.”
“Exactly!” Leroy quickly chimed in. “When Harvey takes control of the Weller family, they’ll surely rule Jayrodale. Harvey, don’t forget to help out your brother–in–law when that happens!
Harvey seized the opportunity to speak. “Since Mrs. Stevens and Leroy brought it up, there’s actually something I’d like to discuss with you all.”
“Harvey, is it something important?” Christina asked.
Harvey straightened his suit and smiled. “Nothing too major. I just received some insider information. If it pans out, we could be looking at a profit of nearly 300 million dollars. Would you be interested, Christie?”
Irene and Leroy both gasped at the news. When they heard the amount, their eyes gleamed with undisguised greed and excitement.
“Can you tell us more about this?” Christina asked with a frown.
“Well,” Harvey explained confidently, “an area in the East Side is about to undergo major development. We’ve already moved to secure the entire property through our internal connections. While we could handle such a large project easily enough, I thought I should include Stevens Corporation in this opportunity. After all, Christie and I are getting married soon.”
