Chapter 723

At first, Andrew did not take Natasha’s warning seriously. However, that very night, he received a message.

[Andrew, I miss you!]

When he saw it, he thought it was Francesca messing around again, but when he opened it, he realized it was not from Francesca – it was from Christina.

Andrew’s face instantly darkened, and he replied, [Ms. Stevens, please have some self-respect. If you keep sending messages like this, I’ll have no choice but to block you.]

Christina refused to give up.

[Christina: Andrew, come back. Come back to Stevens Corporation… come back to me.]

[Christina: Everything I owed you in the past, I’ll make it up to you.]

Andrew let out a cold chuckle.

[Andrew: Christina, if you knew this day would come, why did you make those choices back then?]

[Andrew: Do you really think I still care about going back to Stevens Corporation?]

Christina pleaded, [I know I hurt you, but Andrew, please… forgive me. Back then, I was too focused on my career and my future, and I neglected you. But I swear, if you come back, I won’t just treat you better – I’ll give myself to you completely.]

She even sent a shy, blushing emoji along with the message.

Andrew stared at the screen, feeling nothing but disgust.

[Andrew: Christina, you’re absolutely pathetic.]

[Andrew: Do you think just because you’re beautiful and once meant something to me, I can’t live without you?]

[Andrew: Do you really believe your charm is enough to manipulate me and make me work for you? You’re not just naive – you’re downright stupid.]

After sending that final message, Andrew blocked her without hesitation.

At the Stevens mansion, Christina slowly set down her phone, her face twisted in frustration.

Irene leaned in eagerly. “Well, Christie? Did that loser take the bait? Did he say he’s coming back to serve us?”

Leroy looked just as desperate. “Christie, you’ve gotta get him back. Andrew’s a big deal now – Dylan and Natasha listen to him! For all we know, he’s already taken over Jayrodale’s underground scene!”

Christina gritted her teeth. “He called me pathetic… and then he blocked me.”

Irene’s face turned red with rage. “That ungrateful piece of trash! Who does he think he is? Christie, don’t worry – next time I see him, I’ll give him a piece of my mind and remind him he owes this family!”

Leroy chimed in, his tone filled with greed. “I don’t care – Andrew’s rich now, so he has to take care of the Stevens family! His G-Wagon? That’s mine. His properties? He needs to sign some of that over to me, too!”

Christina rubbed her temples, exasperated. “Is that all you two ever think about? His car, his properties, his money? Can’t you, for once, put aside your selfishness and just welcome him back for real?”

Irene scoffed, her voice dripping with sarcasm. “Welcome him back? Christie, do you hear yourself? I’m the elder here – he should be the one respecting me, not the other way around! If it weren’t for you breaking up with him, do you think he’d be where he is today? Honestly, he owes us a huge debt!”

Leroy nodded furiously. “Exactly! Mom’s right – Andrew wouldn’t have made it without us! Christie, you can’t let him slip away. You need to lock him down and squeeze every last benefit we can get from him!”

Christina let out a tired sigh. “I want to make things right with him, but it’s clear now… he’s set on being with Lauren.”
