“Just buy me a Bugatti, or give me your Porsche Panamera, and I’ll help you get back together with Christina. What do you say?” Leroy pressed on eagerly.
Before Andrew could respond, Harvey exploded in rage. “Leroy, have you no share? How dare you try to sell out Christie for your own gain? Did you even consider my feelings?”

Leroy retorted, “Harvey, you’re drowning in debt, and you’re nothing but a broke loser. Why should I care about your feelings when you’re worth nothing? Since you’re too pathetic to come up with the money, Christina obviously can’t be with you.”
Harvey had never in his life had he faced such humiliation, and he was fuming.
“Leroy, one more word out of you, and you can get the hell out of here,” Christina snapped coldly. “I don’t need any of you men deciding my life for me. Do you think I can’t survive without you?”
Leroy’s words had struck deep at Christina’s pride. They made it sound like she could not survive without either Harvey or Andrew, but in Her heart, Christina believed she did not need to rely on anyone to lead Stevens Corporation to greater heights.
“Christie, don’t be angry. I was just talking nonsense,” Leroy quickly apologized when he saw Christina’s genuine anger.
Christina ignored him and turned to Andrew with reddened eyes. “I know you’ve come out on top this time, emerging as the ultimate winner. Meanwhile, the Stevens family and I have been nothing but clowns, played for fools without even realizing it.”
“Andrew, I’m sure you’re mocking me right now, thinking I’m an idiot. You probably think I’m blind for leaving you and failing at everything since then, right?” she continued, her voice trembling.
Andrew frowned and replied, “You are indeed a foolishly proud woman, but I’m not so petty as to kick you while you’re down.”
Christina’s tears spilled over, but her voice remained ice–cold. “Andrew, I’ll never admit defeat. I’ll prove to you that leaving you wasn’t a mistake. You may have succeeded this time, but one success doesn’t mean anything! I’m still the CEO of Stevens Corporation, and my achievements remain far beyond your reach.”
Andrew smirked, his voice laced with sarcasm. So, what you’re really saying is, no matter what I achieve, I’ll never be good enough in your eyes, right?“!
Christina wiped away her tears and spoke indifferently. I’m not trying to compare myself to you. I’m just reminding you that one small succes doesn’t define everything, one day, Andrew, you’ll see just how wide the gap betwee us really is.”
with that, she regained her composed demeanor Them, she changed and strode away in her high heels.

Harvey quickly followed, but as he passed Andrew, he could not resist one final jab. “See that, Andrew? Even as the winner, you still can’t win Christie’s heart. What’s one small setback for me? I’ll soon be the head of the Weller family, and when I have that power, I’ll shine brighter than ever. No matter what, Christie will still end up in my arms.
“That’s the difference between us, Andrew,” Harvey continued smugly. “You’re just a nobody from nowhere, while I was born into the Weller family with everything I could ever want. Just wait and see–Christina will be mine!”
Harvey left with a triumphant smile, though he was disappointed that he could not see any jealousy or defeat in Andrew’s expression. Instead, Andrew’s gaze followed him as if watching an insignificant insect crawl away.
