Chapter 292
Aspen said, “I’ve just arrived in Jayrodale, but I’ve already investigated everything thoroughly. You helped Stevens Corporation, and then Mr. Stevens Senior spoke up for you at the family dinner, trying to get you and Christie back together. Tell me, is this true or false?”
“The event happened, but I had no prior knowledge of Mr. Stevens Senior’s intentions,” Andrew replied coldly.
“Excuses!” Aspen laughed mockingly. “The truth is clear–you used your favor to manipulate Mr. Stevens Senior into speaking up for you, all to get back with Christie. Your help to the family wasn’t genuine; you had ulterior motives: Christie would be blind to choose someone like you.”
Andrew shook his head and clapped sarcastically. “Aspen, though this is our first meeting, I must say I’m truly impressed with you.”
“What? Impressed that I exposed your true colors?” Aspen sneered.
Andrew smiled. “Yes, genuinely impressed! I never thought I’d meet someone as idiotic as you. It’s truly rare–I can’t help but be impressed.”
Aspen fumed. “Andrew, don’t think Christie’s presence will stop me from teaching you a lesson. You should ask around about who Aspen from Bridgefields‘ Stevens family really is.”
Andrew shrugged. “Sorry, but I couldn’t care less about who you are. Though people like you. usually end up learning their lessons the hard way.”
With that, he turned and left with Dylan. One Christina from the Stevens family was already self–righteous and brainless enough, and now there was an even worse Aspen.
Andrew felt his day was ruined.
“Don’t mind him, Aspen,” Christina consoled as they watched the two men walk toward the manor’s gate.
He added, “Andrew is actually quite decent. He is just prideful and sometimes sharp–tongued, always going against the grain.”
Aspen scoffed. “He’s just a nobody–not worth my attention. Remember, Christie, you’re a perfect gem with both beauty and talent. Stay away from Andrew. There’s nothing about him. worthy of you.”
Christina hesitated before saying, “Aspen, Andrew really isn’t as bad as you think.”
Aspen retorted dismissively, “I’m never wrong about people, and I can tell that man is absolutely worthless. Besides, with your qualities, you could have any good man. Once we deal with that scoundrel from the Weller family, I’ll introduce you to some proper gentlemen from Bridgefields or Blumedale.”
Christina shook her head and replied, “I’m not interested in relationships right now. Maybe
later.”

Aspen smiled. “That’s fine, I won’t pressure you. Come on, I’ll introduce you to Natasha Vostokoff, the queen of West End. She invited me as soon as I arrived in Jayrodale. This Black Widow is well–informed, and it seems she wants to connect with our Bridgefields main family through me.”
Christina was a little uneasy. “Maybe we shouldn’t, Aspen. Madam Vostokoff is the most powerful woman in Jayrodale. Would she even acknowledge me?”
Aspen declared proudly, “Don’t worry, Natasha wouldn’t dare refuse me. I plan to establish connections with all major powers in Jayrodale. With me here, the Weller family won’t cause any trouble.”
