Rising from the Ashes (Andrew and Lauren)

Chapter 163 After a moments hesitation, Christina sald, Harvey, I have some questions Id like to ask you.

If youre uncomfortable answering, I wont press the matter.

Harveys heart skipped a beat, but he forced a smile.

Christie, darling, theres nothing you cant ask me.

Ive always been completely honest with you

Andrew secretly scoffed, realizing Christina had finally noticed some of Harveys suspicious behavior. However, it was no longer his concern

Tony mentioned that you owed him millions when he kidnapped me, Christina said carefully.

Harvey, is that true? Harvey immediately denied it.

Absolutely not.

Its completely false.

Tony is nothing but a common thug.

As a member of the Weller family and one of Jayrodales elite, I wouldnt even speak with someone like him, let alone owe him money.

Irene chuckled

Christie, you silly girl! The Wellers are old money, and Harvey was born with a not the other way around

rspoon in his mouth.

People owe him to The other Stevens family members chimed in, Thats right.

Harveys from serious wealth

The Weller fortune could last for generations even with excessive spending.

Someone commented, Exactly.

Jayrodales top families are known for their unbelievable wealth.

The Weller family is one of them.

How could Mr.

Weller possibly owe others money? Christina was swayed by their remarks and began to think that Tony must have been lying

Harvey came from privilege, and money was probably the least of his concerns, given his familys vast resources and business empire.

Still, Harvey, you should be careful.

A crime lord like Tony might target you, she warned.

Harvey waved his hand dismissively

An East Side gang leader isnt worthy of challenging me.

Besides, the East Side gang and Tony have been eliminated.

Christina was shocked.

She had witnessed Tonys strength firsthand and thought him nearly invincible.

She asked, Tonys been killed? Who did it? Irene declared proudly, Harvey, of course! When he learned that Tony had taken you, he was furious and immediately used his family connections to save you.

Even Mr.

Yates got involved.

I heard Tony was on his knees begging for mercy, but Harvey showed no mercy and ordered his execution.

Irene painted the picture so vividly as if she had witnessed Tonys downfall herself, portraying Harvey as some kind of almighty hero

Yet, Christina was skeptical.

Mom, is that really what happened? Are you sure youre not just making this up? Irene frowned.

How could it be made up? Harvey told us himself.

Leroy and everyone else heard it too.

Leroy grinned proudly.

Thats right, Christie, ad to beg Harvey to tell me the details.

The Weller familys influence is truly incredible.

A young woman from the Stevens family gushed Mr.

Weller is so accomplished, just like the hero in movies who defeated the villain with a snap of his fingers. Christie, Im so jealous that you found such a brave man! Suddenly, Andrews voice cut through the

praise If hes so incredibly powerful, then why did her calls go unanswered when she was in danger? Were you hiding somewhere, trembling in fear?
