Chapter 144
“Take her.”
As soon as the command rang out, two East Side thugs immediately grabbed Christina’s arms and started dragging her away.
“Let her go! Who the hell do you think you are, touching someone from the Stevens family?” Leroy shouted in rage.
“You better not lay a finger on her!” Irene screamed. “My daughter is Harvey Weller’s fiancee. Do you have any idea what’s going to happen to you?”
The leader stood emotionless, radiating deadly intent. “Do you think I care about the Stevens family? Here in Jayrodale, I’ve killed people from families way more important than your little family. Back off if you want to live. I won’t hesitate to kill you right here.”
His menacing presence sent chills down everyone’s spines, but Leroy refused to back down.” You think I’m scared of you? Go ahead, try something! Harvey will have your head if you touch me!”
The leader’s eyes flashed coldly as he suddenly struck Leroy with devastating force, sending him flying. Blood spurted from Leroy’s mouth as he lay there, barely conscious.
Christina and Irene froze in terror, realizing they were dealing with a ruthless monster.
Irene began screaming at the top of her lungs, “Help! Somebody help! They’re trying to kill us
-this is insane!”
Christina maintained her composure. She stated firmly, “Don’t hurt anyone else. I’ll go with you.”
“Christie, no! You can’t go with them!” Irene wailed. “They’ll kill you! Quick, call Harvey–we need his help!”
The leader smirked. “Let me be clear: Mr. Madden Senior wants Ms. Stevens. Your calls won’t help. There’s only one way out–Andrew Lloyd must beg Mr. Madden Senior’s forgiveness.”
With that, they dragged Christina away, leaving Irene frozen in shock.
“Leroy, sweetie, are you okay? I’ll take you to the hospital!” Irene cried, helping her son up. It was not the first time she had seen her unfortunate son get slapped around.
“Mom, forget about me,” Leroy struggled to speak. “Quick, call Harvey. Tony sent these men,. and we can’t handle this alone.”
“But they said
only Andrew can save her!” Irene worried.
“That coward? He’d probably die of fear facing Tony,” Leroy spat. “Only Harvey, with the Weller family’s influence, can save Christie!”

Trembling, Irene called Harvey. “Harvey, Tony’s men took Christie! You have to save her, quickly!”
“What? Tony took Christie? Why?” Harvey’s voice was tense and shaky.
“How should I know why that madman did it?” Irene cursed. “They just took her and beat Leroy up until he’s coughing up blood!”
She broke into tears. “I’ve heard Tony’s a notorious pervert… Christie’s so beautiful, Harvey. Just think what he might do to her!”
On the other end of the line, Harvey’s face darkened.
