Rising from the Ashes (Andrew) novel Chapter 2138

Aspen held onto Andrew's arm gently, leaning close.

Christina's eyes filled with envy and sorrow; everything she saw now had once been hers.

At that moment, several luxury cars screeched to a stop in front of the Moonlit Apothecary. The Weller family had arrived, led by Harvey, the same fool Andrew had once humiliated miserably.

As soon as he stepped out of his car, he stared at Christina with a lustful gaze. "I heard you came back to Jayrodale, Christina. At first, I didn't believe it. Well, since you're here, how about we get together tonight?"

Disgust flashed in Christina's eyes as she replied, "Sorry, I'm not available!"

Harvey stepped forward with a cold laugh, "Stevens Corporation is already history! Christina, you're no longer some billion-dollar CEO. You're just a cheap worker selling yourself for wages! Still acting so high and mighty? Who are you putting on this act for?"

Christina's face turned red with humiliation.

Leroy snapped angrily, "Harvey, watch your mouth!"

Harvey laughed mockingly. "Leroy, your whole family is nothing but strays now, beaten down by everyone. I couldn't touch you in Blumedale, but here in Jayrodale, Christina won't escape me. Unless I sleep with this bitch and take her, I'll never be satisfied."

He waved his hand, and his bodyguards moved toward Christina. The Stevens family could do nothing but shout in helpless rage, for compared to the Weller family, they were nothing.

"That's enough. Don't force me to wipe out the Weller family while I'm at it!" A calm voice suddenly spoke up.

Harvey spun around, ready to curse whoever dared speak and interfere with the Weller family's matter. However, when his eyes landed on Andrew, his jaw dropped like he had seen a ghost.

Looking at Christina's unwilling expression, Leroy comforted her, "Christie, don't think too much about it. It's impossible between you and him now. He's climbed too high, and we'll never measure up."

Christina lowered her head, lost in thought. After a long silence, she murmured, "If only I hadn't been foolish enough to drive him away back then. The one standing beside him today wouldn't be Aspen… It would be me. Sigh, fate is so cruel to me."

Irene sighed. "Christie, stop hurting yourself like this. It's all in the past. You're doing better now, and one day you'll find a good family to marry into in Blumedale."

Christina said nothing, though deep down she rejected the thought. Compared to Andrew, what good family could possibly matter?

Once a person had owned something extraordinary, everything else afterward felt lacking.

Christina truly did not know where she could ever find another man as extraordinary as Andrew.
