Chapter 221
Christina thought of Andrew, but she hesitated as she reached for her phone. Asking Andrew for help now would be like admitting she was wrong–completely, devastatingly wrong.
Worse, it would mean humiliating herself in front of him, shattering her pride and leaving her dignity in tatters. All the harsh words she had thrown at him before would come back like daggers, cutting her deeply and leaving her scarred. Y
Harvey noticed her hesitation and sneered. “I know what you’re thinking–you’re hoping that loser Andrew will save you, right?!
He leaned closer, his tone dripping with mockery. “Christina, you really want to play the saint and the sinner at the same time, huh?”
He added, “You’re the one who chased Andrew away and handed me the chance to step in. And now, you’re thinking of begging him? Don’t you have any shame? Can you really bring yourself to grovel like that?”
Harvey’s cruel words struck a nerve, and Christina’s face turned ashen.
He laughed darkly, his grin wide with twisted satisfaction. “That’s more like it. Don’t worry- I’ll still give you the diamond crown I promised. But before that, you’ll have to sleep with me. It’s the perfect chance to check if you’re still a virgin, Jayrodale’s precious ‘untouched angel‘. No one gets to have you except me. And once I have you, your heart will follow. It’s only a matter of time! Hahaha!”
Laughing wildly, Harvey lunged at her.
Suddenly, a furious voice thundered, “Stop, you monster!”
It was Kane, arriving with his men urgently.
“Father?” Harvey turned, startled and annoyed. “Why are you here? Didn’t you say I could. handle tonight on my own?”
Kane’s expression was dark. He marched forward and slapped Harvey across the face, the sound echoing through the room. “You disgraceful son! Are you even human?!”
“A proposal is supposed to be straightforward and meaningful. Is this how I raised you?”
Harvey clutched his reddened cheek, his anger boiling over. “Did you just hit me? Do you even realize it was Christina and the Stevens family who disrespected me first?”
He continued, “I am part of the Weller family and the future head of it. You expect me to just swallow this insult?”
Kane’s chest heaved as he struggled to control his rage, his face pale. He pulled out a handkerchief, and the sight of blood staining it made everyone freeze.
“You ungrateful brat,” Kane rasped, his voice heavy with fury. “Do you want to drive me to my

grave? Is that what you’re trying to do?”
Harvey’s expression hardened, and he was on the verge of saying something unthinkable. Inside, he was cursing his own father, ‘You’re practically on your deathbed. You should’ve just died and let me lead the Weller family!!
Nonetheless, he dared not say those things aloud. His lips twitched, ready to spit venom, but a woman at Kane’s side stopped him with a sharp glance.
She was strikingly seductive, her high–slit dress revealing glimpses of her pale skin as she moved. This was Kane’s second wife, Harvey’s stepmother, Serena.
“Get Christina’s mother and younger brother to the hospital immediately,” Kane barked, ignoring Harvey’s glare.
He added, “Make sure they’re taken to the best hospital and watched over by our people at all times. They’re not to leave until they’re fully recovered.”
As Christina watched her family being carried out, her gaze was cold and unyielding. “Mr. Weller Senior, from now on, the Stevens family has nothing to do with the Weller family. We are done.”
Kane forced a smile, though his unease was evident. “Christina, there’s no need to take things so seriously. Young people argue, but it doesn’t have to end like this. Harvey lost his mother at a young age, and he’s been deprived of maternal love, which has made him… a bit difficult. But I assure you, we’ve spared no effort in giving him the finest education and upbringing.”
He assured Christina, saying, “If you marry him, both you and the Stevens family will benefit greatly. Trust me, your future will be secure. You can trust me on this.”
