Serena barked, "I'm foolish? What about you? Your father managed to keep the Weller family stable even while sick. Meanwhile, you're young, yet your arrogance has no limit. You're worthless compared to Kane." In a fit of rage, Harvey slapped her hard across the face, causing her to stumble backward. Clutching her reddened cheek, Serena stared at him in disbelief. She shouted, "You actually hit me? It's only been a few days since you've risen to this position, and you're already getting violent with me?" Harvey's face twisted with malice as he shouted, "So you acknowledge I'm the family head now? Who gave you the nerve to speak to me like that? Remember this—this is the first and last warning. If there's a next time, you'll no longer sit here next to me." "Harvey, you ungrateful snake," Serena spat, her chest heaving with anger. "When I helped you, you called me 'sweetheart' every day and promised me the world. Now that you've gotten what you wanted—both my body and the famil

"But last time at the Weller residence, Andrew managed to walk away unharmed from the family elders," Irene persisted hopefully. Christina shook her head and said, "Mom, Andrew might have some skills now, but the situation isn't as simple as what you saw. After returning from the Weller residence, I spoke with both Bruce and Jackie. They confirmed that Andrew only succeeded because of them. If they hadn't already worn down the Weller family elders' strength beforehand, Andrew would have been walking to his death." "Oh, so that's how it was!" Irene exclaimed with sudden understanding. "I was wondering why those two would be so kind as to help us—they were just letting Andrew take the credit!" "That's why I never considered asking Andrew for help," Christina explained. "Now that Harvey has his way, Andrew can barely protect himself, let alone help others." Irene spat in disgust, "And here I thought that loser was some hidden strength—turns out he's just as useless as ever. I must

Christina gritted her teeth and said, "We can't match the Weller family in a fight. Our only option is to stall Harvey until the family representative arrives." With a loud bang, her office door was kicked open. Harvey strode in with a smirk on his face, followed by over a dozen Weller family enforcers. "Christie, my dear fiancee, I can't wait for us to get married!" Harvey's voice was menacing despite his gentle expression. Christina took a deep breath and met Harvey's gaze directly. "Harvey, whatever was between us is long over. If you're a real man, stop with these desperate tactics—just tell me what you want." Harvey sneered. "Over? How convenient for you to say that. After everything I've invested in you, do you think you can just end it? Where does that leave my reputation?" "I never asked for anything from you or your family," Christina replied, struggling to contain her anger. "What exactly did you invest in me?" Harvey declared shamelessly, "I don't care about any

Harvey smirked playfully and said, "It sure is a rare sight to see the Ice Queen of Stevens Corporation so enraged. You want me to leave you alone? Simple—just transfer 150 million dollars from Stevens Corporation to support the Weller family." "150 million? That's outrageous! We don't have that kind of money!" Christina immediately refused. Such an amount would effectively kill Stevens Corporation—the Weller family was indeed ruthless. Harvey scoffed. "Don't be so quick to refuse, because I'm not done with my conditions. Not only must Stevens Corporation transfer the 150 million to us, but you must also marry into the Weller family and become my woman." "Harvey, you're delusional!" Christina shouted, burning with anger and humiliation. "That's right, you can keep dreaming!" Irene chimed in. "Christie is innocent and beautiful as an angel. Have you looked in the mirror? You're not worthy of her!" Harvey slapped Irene hard across the face, sending her rolling across the floo

Behind Andrew, Christina's grandfather, Douglas, wheeled himself into the room. Douglas stated calmly, "I asked Andrew to come here to save the Stevens family." "Grandpa, the Weller family is oppressing us, and Andrew can't possibly help," Christina said anxiously. "And you shouldn't be here in your condition. Please go home. I'll handle everything." Douglas suddenly thundered, "Handle it? How exactly? The Stevens family may not be among the elite, but we still have our dignity! Now we're being bullied right to our faces, and you, my ungrateful granddaughter, didn't even tell me! Do you no longer respect me as your grandfather?" Douglas's rebuke finally made Christina cry. "Grandpa, I'm sorry my incompetence has brought shame upon you." Douglas scoffed. "I'm already one foot in the grave, so my dignity doesn't matter. But why didn't you ask for help when Stevens Corporation was being pushed around like this?" Christina wiped her tears and replied desperately, "Who do I ask

"Andy, I leave everything to you then," Douglas said. Andrew nodded and stepped forward, facing Harvey. "Take your men and get out of here now." Harvey thought he had misheard and sneered. "What did you say?" "I said get your people out of here. Wasn't that clear enough?" Andrew stared him down. Harvey exploded with rage and shouted, "Andrew, who do you think you are? If you dare interfere between me and the Stevens family today, I'll destroy you!" As the head of the Weller family and a top figure in Jayrodale, Harvey could not believe this nobody dared to order him around like some common thug. The insult was unbearable. Andrew's eyes glinted dangerously as he strode toward Harvey, ignoring his guards. He taunted, "Seems you didn't learn your lesson from the Weller family elders." Harvey backed away nervously and yelled, "Get him! Take him down! Kill him!" About eight of the Weller family's elite guards charged at Andrew with battle cries. Christina watched anxiously
Chapter 269
Christina had always thought Andrew lacked the sharp edge that defined successful men. She had believed he was unmotivated and lacked ambition, but now she realized he was not lacking drive—he was simply so far above everyone else that nothing fazed him. "You broke my leg! You actually broke my f*cking leg! Andrew, I'll make you and the entire Stevens family pay with your lives!" Harvey had completely lost it. He had never imagined that, as the head of the prestigious Weller family, he would be so humiliated by a loser. Another sickening crack echoed through the room. Everyone, including the groaning Weller family guards on the floor, felt their scalps tingle as Andrew broke Harvey's other leg without hesitation. Gasps could be heard throughout the room. Harvey finally broke down and begged, "Please, stop! Don't break anything else! It hurts! Mr. Lloyd, please, I'm sorry!" His previous arrogance vanished completely as he lay at Andrew's feet like a pathetic fool, face cov

"Yes! Both my legs are f*cking broken! I want Andrew dead!" Harvey screamed into the phone. There was a long silence from the Weller family elder, Ian, before he spoke hoarsely, "Mr. Weller, you fool. Andrew is at least at the level of a junior grandmaster! I warned you not to provoke him recklessly. Why didn't you listen?" "I already told you, I never provoked him! He showed up, ruined my plans, and broke my legs!" Harvey snarled through gritted teeth. Ian sighed. "It's too late for this now. Return to the Weller residence and get your legs treated. As for Andrew, with one of our senior grandmasters in seclusion recovering, I'm the only one left, and I'm not confident about facing him." Harvey was stunned by Ian's reluctance to act. His face twisted with rage as he roared, "As family head, I order you to kill him! Do you hear me?" Ian replied coldly, "As senior grandmasters, Ted and I exist to ensure the Weller family's survival. We're not here to help you bully people and p
