Chapter 202
Leroy shrugged dismissively and said, “Christie, how much is the Stevens family’s reputation: really worth?”
“You won’t buy me a luxury car, and when I try to get one from someone who can afford it, you say I’m embarrassing you–I don’t understand what you want.”
Christina’s chest heaved with anger. Her pride could not bear watching her brother behave like a bootlicker in front of Andrew.
Her voice trembled with anger and hurt as she growled, “You must be really enjoying this, aren’t you, Andrew? Watching Leroy debase himself and making our family look like fools.”
“So you’re saying it’s wrong for me to drive a luxury car?” Andrew asked calmly.
“Aren’t you just showing off to provoke Leroy and get under my skin?” Christina accused.
Andrew chuckled. “Christina, you’re overestimating your importance and underestimating me at the same time. It’s just a car- what’s there to show off about?”
Irene smirked. “Who knows what tricks you’re trying to pull now? But it doesn’t matter because Christie is going to marry Harvey soon. Then, our family will reach new heights!”
Andrew raised an eyebrow. The Weller family is in such a mess right now. I have to admire your courage for wanting to jump into that fire.”
Stop trying to scare us,” Irene snapped. “Mr. Weller Senior has already paid off all of Harvey’s debts, and we got back all the money the Stevens family lost. Christie is about to become Mrs. Weller!”
Her wrinkled face beamed with joy as she boasted.
Andrew shook his head with a knowing smile. “Talking to you is like talking to a wall. You’ve all seen what kind of person Harvey is. Even if he does take over the Weller family, he’s still an idiot. Marrying into the Weller family just for money and status… well, I can only wish Ms. Stevens ‘good luck‘ with that.‘
Christina caught the sarcasm in Andrew’s wish for her happiness. She lectured, “Harvey may have made some foolish mistakes, but the Weller family’s resources helped turn things around. The most important thing is he learned from his mistakes.”
Andrew shrugged. “Do you really believe that? A leopard can’t change its spots. How well do you know Harvey anyway? Do you actually understand the Weller family’s current situation? I’ve always said you’re being foolish about this, but it’s not my problem–marry whoever you. want.”
Christina felt her anger rising. “I did have some doubts about Harvey’s character and the Weller family. But since you’re so against it, I’m definitely going to give it a try now. Andrew, I’ll say it again–leaving you was the right decision.”

Andrew remained unfazed. “Well, let’s wait and see. Just don’t come crying to me when it’s too late,”
trene smirked triumphantly. “Harvey said he’s going to buy Christie a priceless piece of jewelry from Radiant Jewelers as her engagement gift. Andrew, you used to act so high and mighty with that King of Diamonds. Soon, you’ll realize you’re nothing.”
Andrew’s smile widened slightly. “Funny, I remember when Harvey dragged the Stevens family into disaster, losing every cent, and you were bawling and screaming at him. But now you’re acting like nothing happened. Don’t you worry that Harvey will remember all that and turn on you when the time comes?”
Irene’s face,darkened, and she spat. “What do you know? Harvey isn’t–petty like you!”
Andrew ignored her and turned back to Christina. “One last piece of advice–Harvey is narrow- minded, vindictive, and ruthless. Do you really think a Stevens–Weller union will bring you benefits? You’re just playing with fire.”
