Chapter 247 Harvey addressed the crowd with a smile , The Weller family has another important announcement to make today .

Though many already knew what this second announcement would be , someone still asked , What might that be , Mr.

Weller ? Harvey straightened his expensive suit , his smile growing brighter .

This other matter is a joyous occasion .

Ill officially become the new head of the Weller family .

All family affairs and authority will now be transferred to me .

The crowd fell silent for a moment before scattered applause began , accompanied by various murmurs and discussions .

Hes quite young to take over the Weller family .

Thats quite an achievement ! someone whispered .

He must be the youngest family head in Jayrodale .

Lets hope he can handle such immense power .

Mr.

Weller Senior just died , and hes already announcing his rise to power .

Harveys clearly ruthless .

Wed better be careful not to cross him in the future , another muttered .

Harvey inwardly smirked at the comments , barely containing his satisfaction .

From now on , he would have absolute power , and anyone who dared defy him would be crushed .

Ms.

Stevens , are you here ? Harvey called out , seizing the moment to flex his new authority .

The crowd parted silently , revealing Christinas family of three , along with two elite guards from Bridgefields Stevens family .

The Stevens family is present .

What do you want ? Irene challenged with her hands akimbo .

Harvey nodded .

Lauren glanced at Andrews calm expression and whispered , Dr.

Lloyd , arent you going to step in ? The Stevens family has their own elite martial artists .

They dont need me , Andrew replied .

C Christina lowered her head before suddenly looking up with determination .

Im sorry , but I must decline your kind offer .

A shocked murmur rippled through the crowd .

After all , no one had expected Christina to actually reject Harvey on this day of all days .

With his newfound power , was she not afraid of provoking him ?
