Christina said, “I was trying to give you friendly advice, but if you won’t listen, forget I said anything. I understand you might not have access to Mr. Yates, which is why you’re pretending not to need his help.”
“Don’t worry though. You helped me once, so even if you can’t get Mr. Yates to speak up for you, I’ll stand up for you if Mr. Huxley causes any trouble,” she added..
Andrew chuckled dismissively. “That won’t be necessary. Stevens Corporation should focus o its own problems.”
Irene snorted. “What problems? Our company is thriving. Don’t you dare spread rumors.”
Andrew gave a cold smile. “From what I hear, Harvey’s drowning in debt and barely staying afloat. Stevens Corporation’s investment is probably going down the drain. If I were you, I’d try to get that money back now to minimize losses.”
“That’s bullshit!” Irene snapped. “Andrew, just admit you’re jealous. Harvey just confirmed everything’s on track. Once the paperwork comes through, Stevens Corporation will be rolling in profits.”
“Andrew, that Porsche you borrowed? I’ll be buying one of my own soon,” Leroy bragged. ” Once Harvey pays out our investment returns, I’ll have millions. Sweet deal.”
Andrew glanced at Christina. “Ms. Stevens, your family really is something else,” he stated with disdain before walking away.
“Christie, look! He’s rattled–that’s why he ran off!” Leroy said smugly.
Christina turned to Leroy with a blank expression. “The only one who should be embarrassed is you. Who told you his Porsche was borrowed? I saw him buy it today with my own eyes.”
Leroy’s jaw dropped. “He bought it? How does a gold digger like him have hundreds of thousands lying around?”
His previous joy vanished instantly, replaced by burning envy.
Meanwhile, on the East Side, Tony had not slept for two days straight. Just then, his trusted aide rushed in with an excited smile.
“Mr. Madden Senior, great news! We’ve finally cured Mr. Madden!”
Tony perked up. “Really?”
“Absolutely certain. Mr. Madden is sedated now, and Mr. Eslinger promised to return him to full health within three days.”
Tony clenched his fists in excitement. “Excellent this is perfect! Quick, invite Mr. Eslinger and Mr. Rhodes over. I need to thank them personally”

Moments later, Michael walked in wearing an immaculate white suit, white leather shoes, and gold–rimmed glasses. His polished appearance was offset by a hint of sleaziness that could not be masked.
Beside him was an older man draped in a black cloak, his face stern and his aura cold, exuding an unsettling presence.
“Mr. Rhodes, Mr, Eslinger, thank you both so much for helping with Juan’s condition,” Tony greeted them warmly.
Michael smiled politely. “Don’t mention it, Mr. Madden Senior.”
The elderly man in black remained stoic, unmoved by the East Side crime boss‘ enthusiasm.
He said, “Let’s skip the pleasantries, Mr. Madden Senior. I have a question: who was responsible for Juan’s condition? I’m surprised to find someone so skilled in ancient medicine here in little Jayrodale.”
