Rising from the Ashes (Andrew and Lauren) novel Chapter 164

Chapter 164 Andrews sudden comment instantly darkened the mood for the Stevens family and Harvey .

Harvey replied with a scowl , As I said before I was busy calling , in favors and gathering support the moment Christie was taken .

Andrew , whats the point of constantly criticizing me ? Even if you were gathering support , that wouldnt prevent you from answering your phone , Andrew shot back with a cold smile .

Or was the support story just a cover because you were too scared of Tony to do anything ? Harveys face darkened even further because Andrew had hit the nail on the head .

When Tony had disrespected and mocked him earlier , Harvey had spent hours fuming helplessly .

Owing Tony millions , he dared not confront him , let alone demand anything from Tony .

Andrew , youre St a small time doctor .

Im letting this slide for Christies sake , Harvey said smoothly .

You may not understand the extent of my familys power from your limited perspective , but those who know , know .

Though seething with hatred inside , Harvey acted as if he was unfazed , as if the Weller family was above such petty arguments .

Andrew scoffed .

Christinamay be naive , but not everyone falls for your empty boasts .

I dont know much about the Weller family , but I do know you wouldnt dare make a peep in front of Tony ! Andrews brutal honesty shocked the Stevens family members present .

Irene flew into a rage .

Andrew , if you cant say anything nice , you should keep your mouth shut ! Who are you to say Harvey was afraid of Tony ? Oh , so youre saying he wasnt afraid ? Andrew asked with a mocking smile .

Of course not ! Irene shouted .

If Tony were still alive , Harvey would destroy him with a snap of his fingers ! Leroy chimed in enthusiastically , Thats right! Harvey could kill Tony in an instant .

Tony wouldnt last a second against Harveys , might ! The mother son duos over the top $ ormance made the other Stevens family members cringe .

Everyone knew Christina was the familys crown jewel beautiful and brilliant .

Yet , ironically , her mother and brother were complete fools .

Harveys face twitched as he forced a laugh .

Mrs.

I agree with Christie .

While the Weller family may have played a role in Tonys downfall , I never wanted to mention it .

Taking credit would seem like vanity .

Harvey is so humble .

Hes such a role model ! Leroy exclaimed , filled with admiration .

Irene beamed with pride .

Harveys character is absolutely flawless .

Hes the perfect gentleman in every way .
