Just then, Harvey chimed in, “Andrew, I used to consider you a friend for Christie’s sake. But now you’ve gotten her hurt like this; I’m officially warning you to stay away from her, or else.”
His posture and tone suggested he was some noble protector, acting as if he would move heaven and earth for Christina’s sake.
Andrew’s response was a cold laugh. “Oh, now you dare show your face? When Christina was in trouble, you were hiding away, acting all cowardly. Now that I’ve rescued her, you’re here running your mouth. Aren’t you ashamed?”

“You haven’t wronged me personally,” “Francesca replied coldly. “But you know what you’ve done. Ms. Stevens was rescued by Dr. Lloyd alone, and wasn’t it you who encouraged Juan to start this conflict with East Side?”
Harvey sneered. “I don’t know what you’re talking about. But as your brother figure, I’d advise you to stay away from Andrew before you get hurt.”
Francesca replied indifferently, “My relationship with Dr. Lloyd is none of your business.”

Francesca was defending Andrew–both beautiful women from influential Jayrodale families.
Their support would make it much harder for the Weller family to expand their influence. Most frustrating of all, even Tony’s massive operation had falled to eliminate Andrew–the man seemed impossible to kill.
