Chapter 1000
Harvey looked both shaken and uncertain. โAndrew, youโre really not here to save the Steverus family?โ
Andrew replied casually, โNot in the mood. Just donโt get in my way. Whatever else you people want to do, knock yourselves out.โ
Harvey instantly relaxed. Then, he grabbed Leroy by the collar and resumed the beating with even more enthusiasm.
Not satisfied, he nodded at one of the Weller familyโs goons who immediately turned and slapped Irene across the face without hesitation.
Irene shrieked in pain, โWhat the hell are you doing? Hitting a woman now? Harvey, you bastard! Are you even human?โ
Her screams fell on deaf ears as slap after slap rang out. Her head spun, her face swelled, and she broke into uncontrollable sobs.
โChristie! Beg Andrewโask him to help us! Please!โ Irene cried out in desperation, her pride now shattered. Christina clenched her jaw, trembling with fury. Even so, she could not bring herself to lower her head and beg Andrewโnot after what had just happened.
She had assumed he showed up as some twisted attempt to impress her. Turned out, he had not even planned to get involved and that mistake had now cost her family dearly.
Andrew leaned against his car, arms crossed, with an amused look on his face. He thought Christinaโs furious yet helpless expression was almost entertaining.
This foolish woman had done nothing but dig her own grave, one step at a time.
โYouโre a damn bastard, Andrew,โ Christina finally snapped. Her eyes were red, tears threatening to fall as she shouted, โEven if you hate meโeven if you canโt stand meโฆ Are you seriously okay watching my mom and brother get brutalized? Are you really that heartless?โ
Andrew let out a sarcastic laugh. โSo now youโre blaming me? Ms. Stevens, you were just proudly declaring how your family didnโt need me. And now you want to cry about me not helping?โ
Christina was so angry she was practically speechless.
She glared at Andrew, her voice trembling with rage. โSo it amuses you, doesnโt it? Watching us get stomped on?โ
Andrew shrugged. โHonestly? Not really. Because I couldnโt care less about you anymore, I feel nothing. Whether the Stevens family rises like royalty or gets stepped on like antsโit has nothing to do with me.โ
Ireneโs screams grew louder and more pitiful. The Weller family thugs showed no mercy.
Harvey was not holding backโhe deeply resented the Stevens family and wanted this beating to look good for Quintonโs big hero entrance.
โThatโs enough, Harvey. If you keep going, youโre going to kill someone,โ Francesca called out sharply as she stepped out of the car.
She did not like Christina one bit, but even she could not stand by while things went this far.
Harvey sneered. โFrancesca, stay out of this. It has nothing to do with you.โ
Andrewโs eyes narrowed. โWanna try saying that again?โ
Chapter 1000
Harveyโs smirk vanished instantly. His face stiffened, and he quickly waved for his people to stop.
โThatโs enough. Back off,โ he ordered.
Harvey knew better than to push Andrewโs limits.
Christina rushed over and knelt by her mother and brother to check their injuries. Ireneโs face was swollen and bruised, but she was conscious. Leroy, on the other hand, was unconscious, covered in blood, and barely breathing. Francesca said indifferently, โYouโd better call an ambulance. Your brotherโs lost a lot of bloodโhe needs to be hospitalized immediately.โ
Irene glared at her, seething. โFrancesca, Andrewโฆ You both couldโve stopped this. Why wait until now? You just stood there and watched my son almost get beaten to death. Does your conscience not hurt?โ
She acted like Leroyโs injuries were their fault.
Francescaโs tone did not budge. โWhy would we interfere in your familyโs mess? Your lives or deaths have nothing to do with us. And if you wanted Andrewโs help, maybe you and your darling Christina shouldโve learned how to ask for it.โ
Irene trembled with rage, her eyes nearly bulging. โYโYouโugh! Why is it always Leroy who ends up like this?โ She broke down and clutched Leroyโs battered body, sobbing uncontrollably. FinallyโQuinton arrived, with Shawn close behind.
โHarvey! What the hell is going on with your Weller family?โ
Quinton stepped out of the car, straightened his suit like he was walking onto a runway, and shouted with righteous anger.
โMs. Stevens is mine now! How dare you lay a hand on the Stevens familyโwhat, do you think I wonโt wipe the Wellers off the damn map?โ
