Rising from the Ashes (Andrew) novel Chapter 222

Chapter 222 Serena sneered .

Ms.

Stevens , what an impressive display .

Its one thing to reject the future head of the Weller family to his face , but now you re even ignoring Mr.

Weller Seniors orders ? She continued , Do you really think the Stevens family is strong enought to challenge the Weller family ? Christinas face darkened , but before she could respond , Kane slapped the seductive woman beside him across the face .

Silence ! Family affairs are not for a woman like you to interfere with .

Get out of here ! and After dismissing his wife , Kane turned back to Christina with a warm smile .

Christie , you Harvey have been seeing each other for some time now .

Its normal for young people to have disagreements , but it hasnt reached the point where you two should end things .

Why dont you go home and rest for now ? Ill have Harvey come by later to offer a proper apology .

Christina shook her head , her disgust for Harvey reaching its peak .

Im sorry , Mr.

Weller Senior , but I cant do that .

Lets leave it at that .

you Kanes smile faltered , and a flicker of coldness appeared in his eyes .

Ms.

Stevens , I suggest think carefully about the choice youre about to make .

Ive already shown you a great deal of respect as the head of the Weller family , far more than Ive given others in your position .

Dont you think you should appreciate that ? Christinas expression stiffened as she glanced at Kane .

His smiling face , though outwardly polite , made her feel a chill deep in her bones .

She knew well that this was not just a suggestion -it was a thinly veiled threat .

Harvey was a monster , but it was clear that Kane had also set his sights on swallowing the Stevens Corporation whole .

Regret and fear flooded Christina as she realized the trap her family might have walked into .

The Stevens Corporation was standing on the edge of a cliff , and the Weller family was ready to push them over .

After Christina left , Harvey seethed with rage .

That bitch is nothing but an ungrateful tramp ! hadnt shown up , Dad , I wouldve made her regret ever defying the Weller family .

If you haan Kanes face darkened , and his voice was cold and steady .

Harvey , how many times have I told you ? Women are not controlled through violence .

The ones you can beat into submission are no better than commodities useful only for momentary pleasure but ultimately worthless .
