Chapter 232
One of the bodyguards asked shakily, “M–Mr. Weller, what should we do? That guy is terrifying! He destroyed Mr. Fletcher’s chest. If he comes after us… w–we’re done for.”
Harvey roared, “You’re all nothing but cowards! With this kind of spineless behavior, I might as well keep dogs instead of bodyguards!”
The bodyguards could only seethe silently, thinking ironically that Harvey had been the most terrified of them all.
“Take me to get treated first, then find my father immediately,” Harvey snarled through gritted teeth. “Just wait, Andrew. Only one of us will survive this, and it won’t be you!”
Back at Jayrodale General Hospital, Irene pulled Christina aside and whispered, “Christie, this is our chance for the Stevens family.”
“Mom, what are you talking about?” Christina asked, confused.
Irene responded urgently, “Don’t you see? Andrew is now our family’s only hope. The Weller family is too powerful–even Mr. Weller Senior wants to devour Stevens Corporation. We can’t handle this alone, but with Andrew’s help, they won’t be able to touch us.”
Christina immediately shook her head. “Forget it. You know how tense things are between Andrew and Stevens Corporation. It’s impossible.”
“How is it impossible?” Irene pressed. “He was almost my son–in–law, and you two perfect together. If you just show him some warmth, he’ll come around.”

Christina’s face turned cold. “I won’t do that. I was the one who ended things with him. How would it look if I went crawling back now? What would people think of me and Stevens Corporation?”
“Who cares what others think?” Irene dismissed her concern. “Andrew’s got status and power now. Didn’t you see how he demolished the Weller family’s martial artist?”
Christina sighed. “I admit, I can’t read Andrew anymore–he’s become quite mysterious. B Mom, the Weller family’s power runs deep. Mr. Fletcher was just one of their fighters. Mr. Weller Senior and the others are far more dangerous. Even if we asked Andrew for help, he couldn’t do much.”
Irene’s face fell in despair. “Then what can we do? It’s obvious that Harvey won’t leave us alone!”
Christina took a deep breath, her face showing determination. “Don’t worry, Mom. I got us into this mess, and I’ll handle it myself.”
Irene wailed, “How can you handle this alone? You’re just one woman! Without powerful backing, the Weller family will destroy Stevens Corporation!”

Christina said firmly. “Don’t worry. I’ve already requested help from the main Stevens family in Bridgefields. They’ve always wanted us to rejoin them. If they help us through this crisis, Stevens Corporation will weather this storm.”
Irene’s face lit up instantly. “The main family–of course! How could I forget? The Bridgefields Stevens are an established family with countless skilled martial artists! Harvey and Mr. Weller Senior picked the wrong targets if they think they can bully Stevens Corporation!”
Her previously cowering demeanor transformed instantly into one of shameless confidence.
