Chapter 2138
Aspen held onto Andrewโs arm gently, leaning close.
Christinaโs eyes filled with envy and sorrow; everything she saw now had once been hers.
At that moment, several luxury cars screeched to a stop in front of the Moonlit Apothecary. The Weller family had arrived, led by Harvey, the same fool Andrew had once humiliated miserably.
As soon as he stepped out of his car, he stared at Christina with a lustful gaze. โI heard you came back to Jayrodale, Christina. At first, I didnโt believe it. Well, since youโre here, how about we get together tonight?โ
Disgust flashed in Christinaโs eyes as she replied, โSorry, Iโm not available!โ
Harvey stepped forward with a cold laugh. โStevens Corporation is already history! Christina, youโre no longer some billion-dollar CEO. Youโre just a cheap worker selling yourself for wages! Still acting so high and mighty? Who are you putting on this act for?โ
Christinaโs face turned red with humiliation.
Leroy snapped angrily, โHarvey, watch your mouth!โ
Harvey laughed mockingly. โLeroy, your whole family is nothing but strays now, beaten down by everyone. I couldnโt touch you in Blumedale, but here in Jayrodale, Christina wonโt escape me. Unless I sleep with this bitch and take her, Iโll never be satisfied.โ
He waved his hand, and his bodyguards moved toward Christina. The Stevens family could do nothing but shout in helpless rage, for compared to the Weller family, they were nothing.
โThatโs enough. Donโt force me to wipe out the Weller family while Iโm at it!โ A calm voice suddenly spoke up.
Harvey spun around, ready to curse whoever dared speak and interfere with the Weller familyโs matter. However, when his eyes landed on Andrew, his jaw dropped like he had seen a ghost.
His throat bobbed, and he nearly stumbled. โAndrew, youโre back too!โ
Andrewโs gaze was ice. He only spoke one word. โLeave.โ
Harvey turned and fled in terror, dragging his men with him. He did not dare to even make a sound.
One of his clueless lackeys asked, โMr. Weller, who was that guy? He didnโt look like much. Why were you scared of him?โ
Harvey slapped him across the face. โShut up, you idiot! Do you even know who that man is? Heโs one of the most powerful figures in all of Gabo Creek. Compared to him, weโre not even antsโฆ Weโre weaker than that!โ
After driving the Weller family away, Andrew and Aspen turned and left. They did not linger and headed straight back to Blumedale.
The Stevens family wanted to thank him, but seeing that Andrew had no intention of stopping, they could only let it go.
Looking at Christinaโs unwilling expression, Leroy comforted her, โChristie, donโt think too much about it. Itโs impossible between you and him now. Heโs climbed too high, and weโll never measure up.โ
Christina lowered her head, lost in thought. After a long silence, she murmured, โIf only I hadnโt been foolish enough to drive him away back then. The one standing beside him today wouldnโt be Aspenโฆ It would be me. Sigh, fate is so cruel to me.โ
Irene sighed. โChristie, stop hurting yourself like this. Itโs all in the past. Youโre doing better now, and one day youโll find a good family to marry into in Blumedale.โ
Christina said nothing, though deep down she rejected the thought. Compared to Andrew, what good family could possibly matter?
Once a person had owned something extraordinary, everything else afterward felt lacking.
Christina truly did not know where she could ever find another man as extraordinary as Andrew.
