Chapter 173

“Just buy me a Bugatti, or give me your Porsche Panamera, and I’ll help you get back together with Christina. What do you say?” Leroy pressed eagerly.

Before Andrew could respond, Harvey exploded. “Leroy, have you no shame? How dare you try to sell out Christina for your own gain? Did you even consider my feelings?”

Leroy retorted, “Harvey, you’re drowning in debt, and you’re nothing but a broke loser. Why should I care about your feelings when you’re worth nothing? Since you’re too pathetic to provide for her, Christina obviously can’t be with you.”

Harvey had never faced such humiliation and was fuming.

“Leroy, one more word, and you can get out of here,” Christina snapped coldly. “I don’t need either of you men deciding my life for me. Do you think I can’t survive without you?”

Leroy’s words had struck deep. They implied she was dependent on Harvey or Andrew, but Christina believed she didn’t need anyone to lead Stevens Corporation to success.

“Christie, don’t be angry. I was just talking nonsense,” Leroy quickly apologized, seeing her genuine anger.

Christina ignored him and turned to Andrew, her eyes reddened. “I know you’ve won this time. Meanwhile, the Stevens family and I have been played for fools.”

“Andrew, I’m sure you’re mocking me, thinking I’m an idiot. You probably think I’m blind for leaving you and failing since then, right?” she continued, her voice trembling.

Andrew frowned. “You are indeed a foolishly proud woman, but I’m not so petty as to kick you while you’re down.”

Christina’s tears flowed, but her voice remained ice-cold. “Andrew, I’ll never admit defeat. I’ll prove leaving you wasn’t a mistake. You may have succeeded this time, but one success doesn’t mean anything! I’m still the CEO of Stevens Corporation, and my achievements remain far beyond your reach.”

Andrew smirked sarcastically. “So, what you’re saying is, no matter what I achieve, I’ll never be good enough in your eyes?”

Christina wiped away her tears and spoke indifferently. “I’m not comparing myself to you. I’m reminding you that one small success doesn’t define everything. One day, Andrew, you’ll see just how wide the gap between us really is.”

With that, she regained her composure and strode away.

Harvey quickly followed, but as he passed Andrew, he couldn’t resist one final jab. “See that, Andrew? Even as the winner, you still can’t win Christina’s heart. What’s one setback for me? I’ll soon be the head of the Weller family, and when I have that power, I’ll shine brighter than ever. No matter what, Christina will still end up in my arms.”

“That’s the difference between us, Andrew,” Harvey continued smugly. “You’re a nobody from nowhere, while I was born into the Weller family with everything. Just wait and see—Christina will be mine!”

Harvey left with a triumphant smile, disappointed by Andrew’s lack of jealousy or defeat. Andrew’s gaze followed him as if watching an insignificant insect crawl away.
