Rising from the Ashes (Andrew and Lauren) novel Chapter 118

Chapter 118 Christina hesitated , torn between the desire to make money and her business instincts that warned of potential risks .

Unlike Irene and Leroy , who blindly invested without considering the risks , she knew better than to jump in without thinking .

If I were you , I wouldnt play the role of a gullible investor , Andrew interjected .

Andrew , do you know something ? Christina asked , surprised by his tone .

Andrew frowned and said , I already told you the East Side isnt getting developed .

Youve been in business long enough to be wary of such promises , Christina .

Since when does investing a few million guarantee returns in the hundreds of millions ? It sounds too good to be true because it is .

Christinas resolve began to waver at his words .

Stop fear mongering , Andrew .

This isnt your business , Irene snapped .

Leroy added , Christie , why are you even listening to him ? Harvey wouldnt trick you .

Well , Christie , it seems you trust Andrew more than me , Harvey said with feigned disappointment .

Forget I mentioned anything .

Christie , dont let Harveys goodwill go to waste Irene urged anxiously .

Hes offering us part of the Weller familys profits ! Christina reconsidered .

After all , when it came to insider connections , the Weller familys credibility surely outweighed Andrews .

Hence , Harveys information had to be reliable .

Im sorry for doubting you , Harvey , she said decisively .

Stevens Corporation will invest 12 million dollars .

Andrew gave her a pointed look.

12 million ? Christina , can Stevens Corporation really afford such a reckless move ? Back out now before you end up crying about it later .

Mr.

Lloyd , please stay out of my business , Christina replied coldly .

She felt Andrew had gone too far .
