Chapter 997
“Andrew, where are we going next? The Weller family?” Francesca was practically bouncing in her seat with excitement. The way Tony had gone from arrogant to groveling just now was beyond satisfying to her.
Andrew’s name really carried weight in Jayrodale now. He did not even have to raise a hand or flex – it just took showing up to scare a grown man stiff.
Andrew kept his eyes on the road and replied casually, “We’re not going to the Wellers. We’re heading to the Stevens family.”
Francesca blinked in surprise. “The Stevens family? You’re going to see Christina?”
Her mood flipped fast, and her face darkened instantly.
Andrew shook his head. “Not Christina. I just want to stop by and pay my respects to Mr. Stevens Senior. After today, I’ll never be stepping through that door again.”
Francesca let out a soft ‘oh’ and said, “Alright, I’ll come with you then. I heard the old man treated you well back in the day. Seems like the right thing to do.”
Andrew smiled. “Alright. Let’s go together, then.”
Ten minutes later, Andrew’s car pulled up at the Stevens family estate.
Christina, Irene, and Leroy were out at the time, which honestly worked out – Andrew appreciated the quiet. He found Douglas and exchanged a few warm words before handing him a small portion of the Vitality Pill. Then, he turned and left with Francesca.
Douglas had wanted to keep Andrew for dinner, hoping Christina would return in time so he could try once more to matchmake them. However, Andrew clearly was not interested and politely declined.
With Francesca by his side, Douglas finally understood that his granddaughter no longer had a shot. Andrew had clearly moved on, and he was not the kind of man to look back.
“Guess the Stevens family was just never meant for greatness,” Douglas sighed from the upstairs window, watching Andrew’s car disappear down the driveway.
He was old now and could not interfere much in the lives of the younger generation. Nonetheless, deep down, the regret was something he could not hide.
Just as Andrew was leaving the estate, fate played a little trick – Christina’s family car pulled up at the gate. Both vehicles stopped at the same time, nose to nose.
Leroy climbed out of the driver’s seat, fuming. “Andrew, just because you drive a G-Wagon doesn’t mean you can block our gate like you own the place!”
He barked like Andrew was the one indebted to him.
Francesca gave him a frosty look and snapped, “We’re leaving right now. Just move your car, and it’s fine.”
Leroy scoffed. “Why should we move? If you want me to move, fine – then we’re keeping your car as collateral!”
Andrew replied flatly, “Even if I handed you the keys, you wouldn’t have the guts to drive it.”
Leroy opened his mouth to fire back, but before he could say another word, a group of people stormed over from the side – aggressive, locked in, and clearly not here to talk.
One of them did not hesitate – he launched a kick that sent Leroy flying into the side of his own car. He hit the door with a sickening thud and doubled over, groaning in pain.
Francesca’s eyes narrowed. “That looks like the Weller family. I see Harvey in the crowd.”
Andrew gently pulled her back into the seat and calmly said, “It’s not our problem. Sit back and enjoy the show.”
Francesca slipped back into the passenger seat with a smirk. “Harvey’s such a scumbag. Looks like he came to stir up trouble with the Stevens family.”
Outside, there were over 40 members of the Weller family, and they had completely boxed in the Stevens family vehicle.
Irene and Christina stepped out next, both stunned at the scene.
“Harvey, you little punk, what the hell do you think you’re doing? What is this? A robbery? A hit job?” Irene shouted, her temper flaring.
