Christina’s tone was cold as she said, “I’m sorry, but I don’t need any of this from you. I already told you last night–we’re done. There’s nothing left to talk about.”
Harvey silently cursed her, but he kept his face calm and plastered on a smile. He softened his tone and replied, “I know you’re still angry. I’m not asking you to forgive me right away, but my feelings for you have never changed. If you don’t forgive me today, I’ll stand outside Stevens Corporation every day to apologize until you do.”
Christina frowned in disgust. “Harvey, don’t you realize how childish and pathetic that sounds? I don’t want your apologies. I want us to stay out of each other’s lives from now on. It’s for the best.”
Irene snapped, “Harvey, stop harassing my daughter! You’re the heir of the Weller family- stop acting like some shameless, clingy mutt!”
Harvey’s face twitched at the insult, his fists clenching as he fought the urge to lash out at Irene. He inhaled sharply, forcing himself to stay composed.
“Christie, you don’t have to forgive me. But I need to let you know something–Andrew has crossed my family too many times. My father has already marked him for death.”
He smirked, his tone turning threatening. “I don’t want things to get ugly, but if you don’t reconsider and take me back, I won’t hold back. That loser standing beside you? He’s as good as dead.”
Harvey shifted tactics, knowing Christina’s biggest weakness was her unwillingness to see others get hurt because of her. He was sure she would cave under pressure.
As expected, Christina’s face paled, and she snapped, “Harvey, whatever is between us has nothing to do with Andrew! Dragging him into this only makes me despise you more.”
Harvey sneered. “You’re already trying to cut ties with me. Do you really think I care about your opinion of me anymore?”
Turning to Andrew, he mocked, “Andrew, why don’t you come over here and beg for my forgiveness? If
I can convince Christie to come back to me, I might consider letting you live.
His arrogant smirk made it clear he thought he had Andrew cornered.
Andrew’s eyes glinted coldly as he stepped forward.
Francesca quickly warned, “Dr. Lloyd, be careful! Harvey brought along one of the Weller family’s top enforcers. Don’t get too close!”
Andrew ignored her warning as he continued walking toward Harvey.
Christina quickly stepped in front of him and glared at Harvey. She demanded, “What do you want? I’ve already told you–this has nothing to do with Andrew. Why must you rely on the

Weller family’s power to bully others?”
Harvey laughed triumphantly. “Christie, you know as well as I do that the Weller family isn’t to be trifled with. Andrew has gone against me one too many times. Do you really think I’d let him off so easily?”
Christina’s voice was icy. “If you want to hurt Andrew, you’ll have to go through me first.”
Harvey’s temper flared, and he gritted his teeth. “Even now, you’re still protecting him. Tell me, Christina–are you still in love with him?”
Christina’s heart skipped a beat, her expression conflicted. After a moment, she sighed. “Fine. I’ll do whatever you want as long as you don’t hurt Andrew.”
Harvey’s laugh echoed through the room, full of satisfaction. This was exactly the result he had wanted. Using Andrew as leverage, he knew he could force Christina to submit. Once he got what he wanted, he would deal with Andrew permanently.
Christina turned to Andrew, then said in a soft and aggrieved voice, “Andrew, I’m sorry. Because of me, you almost got dragged into this mess.”
Forcing a small, sad smile, she added, “After this, we’ll be even. The hospital saved my family. You’ve already helped meso much in my career. I won’t trouble you anymore.”
