Rising from the Ashes (Andrew and Lauren) novel Chapter 203

Chapter 203 Christina was clearly affected by Andrews words , but she said nothing .

Over the past few days , she had felt increasingly uneasy as Harveys true nature began to emerge .

After all , it was vastly different from the gentleman and promising young man she thought she knew .

Even so , her pride would not allow her to admit to Andrew that she had misjudged someone so completely .

1 Finally , the night of the auction arrived .

By 8 p.m.

, luxury cars filled the parking lot of the Radiant Group building as Jayrodales elite gathered for the event .

Among them were Michael and Harvey , both dressed in impeccable suits and projecting an air of elegance , with stunning women in their arms , Harvey , long time no see ! You look like youre living the high life definitely more comfortable than I am ! Michael spoke first , casually glancing at Christina , who was standing next to Harvey .

He had long admired Jayrodales Ice Queen CEO himself , and though she was truly flawless in every way , he could only admire her from afar now that she was spoken for .

Come on , Michael , theres no need for such formality between us , Harvey replied with a broad smile .

Michael chuckled and said , Harvey , I mean every word .

Everyone knows you and Christina are about to tie the knot .

I hear youre already halfway to taking over the Weller family leadership talk about a double blessing ! Youre making us all jealous ! Harvey was glowing with satisfaction , though he maintained a modest facade .

Youre too kind , Michael .

Compared to the heir of the Rhodes family , my life is quite humble .

Their exchange of flattery continued , causing others nearby to roll their eyes .

Everyone in Jayrodale knew the rivalry between Harvey and Michael was one of the fiercest .

If life is so hard , Harvey , why not let me take that beauty off your hands ? Id be happy to help lighten your burden , a sleazy voice cut through the conversation , shocking the onlookers .

Who would dare to openly covet Harveys woman ? It seemed like someone had a death wish .

Harveys face darkened as he turned to look at the speaker .

Upon recognizing him , he suppressed his anger and sneered .

Well , if it isnt Mr.
