Rising from the Ashes (Andrew and Lauren) novel Chapter 202

Chapter 202 Leroy shrugged dismissively and said , Christie , how much is the Stevens familys reputation : really worth ? You wont buy me a luxury car , and when I try to get one from someone who can afford it , you say Im embarrassing you I dont understand what you want .

Christinas chest heaved with anger .

Her pride could not bear watching her brother behave like a bootlicker in front of Andrew .

Her voice trembled with anger and hurt as she growled , You must be really enjoying this , arent you , Andrew ? Watching Leroy debase himself and making our family look like fools .

So youre saying its wrong for me to drive a luxury car ? Andrew asked calmly .

Arent you just showing off to provoke Leroy and get under my skin ? Christina accused .

Andrew chuckled .

Christina , youre overestimating your importance and underestimating me at the same time .

Its just a car- whats there to show off about ? Irene smirked .

Who knows what tricks youre trying to pull now ? But it doesnt matter because Christie is going to marry Harvey soon .

Then , our family will reach new heights ! Andrew raised an eyebrow .

The Weller family is in such a mess right now .

I have to admire your courage for wanting to jump into that fire .

Stop trying to scare us , Irene snapped .

Mr.

Weller Senior has already paid off all of Harveys debts , and we got back all the money the Stevens family lost .

Christie is about to become Mrs.

Weller ! Her wrinkled face beamed with joy as she boasted .

Andrew shook his head with a knowing smile .

Talking to you is like talking to a wall .

Youve all seen what kind of person Harvey is .

Even if he does take over the Weller family , hes still an idiot .

Marrying into the Weller family just for money and status … well , I can only wish Ms.

Stevens good luck with that .

Christina caught the sarcasm in Andrews wish for her happiness .

Andrew , you used to act so high and mighty with that King of Diamonds .

Soon , youll realize youre nothing .

Andrews smile widened slightly .

Funny , I remember when Harvey dragged the Stevens family into disaster , losing every cent , and you were bawling and screaming at him .

But now youre acting like nothing happened .

Dont you worry that Harvey will remember all that and turn on you when the time comes ? Irenes face , darkened , and she spat .

What do you know ? Harvey isnt petty like you ! Andrew ignored her and turned back to Christina .

One last piece of advice Harvey is narrow- minded , vindictive , and ruthless .

Do you really think a Stevens Weller union will bring you benefits ? Youre just playing with fire .
