Chapter 219 Harvey , I really cant marry you , Christina stated firmly .

The color drained from Harveys face as his hand holding the crown began to shake uncontrollably ..

Even Irene and Leroy panicked at her response .

Christie , what nonsense are you talking about ? That crown is worth 18 million dollars ! Do you think proposals like this grow on trees ? Just accept it first ! Irene exclaimed frantically .

At least say yes and get the crown .

If you really cant stand him later , you can always change your mind ! Christina ignored her familys shameless greed .

Im sorry , but I really cant accept this crown .

The reality of rejection finally hit Harvey .

The Weller family had stretched themselves thin for this proposal , putting on a show of wealth they could barely afford .

This rejection was an outcome Harvey had never anticipated .

Harvey , you need to calm down , Christina warned , frowning .

How the hell can I calm down ? Harvey exploded .
