Rising from the Ashes (Andrew and Lauren) novel Chapter 172

Chapter 172 Unfortunately for Harvey , his troubles were far from over .

Just after being put in his place by Andrew , Leroy decided to strike with another blow .

Harvey , I need an answer right now .

When are you going to pay back the money you borrowed from me ? Leroys tone was aggressive , completely different from his usual fawning attitude toward him .

Leroy , considering my relationship with Christie , whats a few million between family ? I could pay you back in a heartbeat , Harvey said , his patience wearing thin .

Leroy extended his hand and demanded , Great , then pay me right now .

Harvey was furious but helpless .

He did not have the money to pay Leroy , and he could not even bear to think about his other debts , wondering if he would have to sell everything he owned just to break even .

Leroy mocked , Harvey , youre supposed to be the Weller family heir and want to marry Christie .

If you cant even come up with a few million , what makes you think youre worthy of marrying her ? Harvey trembled with humiliation .

Never before had the golden boy of Jayrodale been pushed into such a corner .

What made it worse was that while he could normally make anyone who crossed him disappear without a trace , this was Christinas brother , so he had to hold back .

Leroy , just give me some time .

I promise Ill find a way to pay back everything I owe to you , Mrs.

Stevens , and Christina , Harvey pleaded , trying to buy time with empty promises .

However , Leroy was not buying it .

Oh , please ! I can see right through you , Harvey .

Youre all talk nothing but a pretty face with no substance .

I know youre just planning to borrow money to pay me back .

Why dont you just ask Andrew ? Hes rich now , and hes standing right here .

You expect me to borrow money from him ? Do you think someone of my status would stoop so low ? Harvey felt deeply insulted .

Leroy shrugged .
