Chapter 158
Just then, Harvey interjected, “Andrew, I considered you a friend, for Christie’s sake. But you’ve hurt her, and I’m warning you to stay away from her.”
His posture and tone suggested he was a noble protector, ready to move heaven and earth for Christina.
Andrew responded with a cold laugh. “Oh, you dare show your face? When Christina was in trouble, you hid, acting cowardly. Now that I’ve rescued her, you’re here posturing. Aren’t you ashamed?”
“Who says I didn’t help when Christie was in trouble?” Harvey snorted. “Do you think Mr. Garner and Mr. Yates intervened for no reason?”
“You have nothing to say, do you?” Irene sneered at Andrew. “Harvey got Mr. Garner and Mr. Yates to deal with Tony.”
Andrew smiled wryly. “Is that what Harvey told the Stevens family, or your assumption?”
“That’s none of your business,” Irene snapped. “Christie’s safe return is thanks to Harvey. Stop taking credit.”
“I’ve never sought credit,” Andrew replied dismissively. “Wait until she wakes up and hear what she says.”
Harvey declared proudly, “Christie is my one true love. What else would she say but that this ordeal has brought us closer?”
Andrew nearly gagged at Harvey’s shameless behavior.
Francesca’s expression turned complicated. “Harvey, I respected you as Jayrodale’s golden boy. I thought you cultured and refined, but lately, your true nature is ugly.”
Hatred flashed in Harvey’s eyes, but he feigned hurt. “Fran, why are you and Andrew treating me this way? What have I done?”
“You haven’t wronged me personally,” Francesca replied coldly. “But you know what you’ve done. Ms. Stevens was rescued by Dr. Lloyd alone, and wasn’t it you who encouraged Juan to start this conflict with the East Side?”
Harvey sneered. “I don’t know what you’re talking about. But as your brother figure, I advise you to stay away from Andrew before you get hurt.”
Francesca replied indifferently, “My relationship with Dr. Lloyd is none of your business.”
She despised Harvey, Jayrodale’s supposed golden boy of the Weller family.
Dark thoughts and rage clouded Harvey’s mind. First Lauren, and now…
Chapter 150
Francesca was defending Andrew—both beautiful women from influential Jayrodale families. Their support would make it harder for the Weller family to expand their influence. Most frustratingly, even Tony’s massive operation had failed to eliminate Andrew—the man seemed impossible to kill.
