Chapter 251
Leroy rushed toward Finley and Michael with desperation in his eyes. The situation was dire, and he needed allies fast.
“Mr. Moore, with your prestigious background and connections, please help the Stevens family. I’ll be your loyal supporter afterward,” Leroy pleaded earnestly.

He then turned to the other man, “Mr. Rhodes, as one of the elite four of Jayrodale, if you help the Stevens family out of this crisis, I’ll be forever in your debt.”
Both Finley and Michael showed flickers of interest on their faces. The Stevens family was quite an attractive proposition, especially considering Christina, the elegant socialite. It would certainly be worth the effort if Christina could be theirs after.
However, they both glanced up at Harvey, who was strutting arrogantly on the platform. After witnessing his display of power, they both decided to back down.
“Leroy, it’s not that I don’t want to help,” Finley said. “I just don’t have a legitimate reason to step in right now. Next time, I promise!
Michael chimed in with his own excuse, “I’m touched that you thought of me in this crisis. But
is a personal matter between Mr. Weller and your sister. I really shouldn’t interfere.”
In the end, both Finley and Michael proved to be shrewd operators. They wrapped their rejections in pretty words, but essentially shut the door in Leroy’s face, knowing better than to cross Harvey when he held all the cards.
Sweating profusely, Leroy scanned the crowd desperately for potential allies. His eyes landed on Lauren and Francesca, who stood beside Andrew.”
He scrambled over to them, practically begging, “Ladies, please help save the Stevens family- save my sister!”
Lauren shook her head and replied, “Your plea would be better directed at someone else the person standing next to us.”
Leroy turned to Andrew in surprise, and Francesca flatly added, “At this point, Andrew might be your sister’s only hope. If you show some genuine humility, he might help. But if the Stevens family maintains their usual arrogance, there’s nothing we can do.”
Leroy’s face contorted, obviously caught in a dilemma. He was unsure whether to approach. Andrew. From across the room, Christina called out sharply, “Leroy, come back here!”
“Christie, maybe we should ask Andrew for help, Leroy suggested carefully. “Harvey has never been able to get the better of him. If Andrew steps in, our family might…”
Christina cut him off with an angry shout, “Get back here, now!”
Her pride would not allow her to beg her ex in front of such a large crowd. It was the last thing
she would do.

“Christie, we’re out of options,” Irene urged desperately. “Ask Andrew! I know he still loves you. He’ll help us, I’m sure of it.”
Christina could not believe that even her mother who had always looked down on Andrew, was taking this stance. She raised her head and looked at Andrew, complex emotions churning
in her.
Andrew glanced at her indifferently and stated calmly, “Ms. Stevens doesn’t need to beg me. I’m not worthy of such attention from her.”
“I knew it,” Christina said bitterly. “You must hate me and the Stevens family now. I don’t deserve to ask for your help…”
Before she could finish, Andrew was already striding toward the Weller family’s platform. Harvey, didn’t you say you wanted to settle your score with me? Well, here I am–let’s see what you’ve got!”
The crowd in the Weller family hall erupted into chaos. This was a direct challenge to the Weller family at the height of their power.
