Rising from the Ashes (Andrew and Lauren) novel Chapter 221

Chapter 221 Christina thought of Andrew , but she hesitated as she reached for her phone .

Asking Andrew for help now would be like admitting she was wrong completely , devastatingly wrong .

Worse , it would mean humiliating herself in front of him , shattering her pride and leaving her dignity in tatters .

All the harsh words she had thrown at him before would come back like daggers , cutting her deeply and leaving her scarred .

Y Harvey noticed her hesitation and sneered .

I know what youre thinking youre hoping that loser Andrew will save you , right ?! He leaned closer , his tone dripping with mockery .

Christina , you really want to play the saint and the sinner at the same time , huh ? He added , Youre the one who chased Andrew away and handed me the chance to step in .

And now , youre thinking of begging him ? Dont you have any shame ? Can you really bring yourself to grovel like that ? Harveys cruel words struck a nerve , and Christinas face turned ashen .

He laughed darkly , his grin wide with twisted satisfaction .

Thats more like it .

Dont worry- Ill still give you the diamond crown I promised .

But before that, youll have to sleep with me .

Its the perfect chance to check if youre still a virgin , Jayrodales precious untouched angel .

No one gets to have you except me .

And once I have you , your heart will follow .

Its only a matter of time ! Hahaha ! Laughing wildly , Harvey lunged at her .

Suddenly , a furious voice thundered , Stop , you monster ! It was Kane , arriving with his men urgently .

Father ? Harvey turned , startled and annoyed .

Why are you here ? Didnt you say I could .

handle tonight on my own ? Kanes expression was dark .

He marched forward and slapped Harvey across the face , the sound echoing through the room .

You disgraceful son ! Are you even human ?! A proposal is supposed to be straightforward and meaningful .

Is this how I raised you ? Harvey clutched his reddened cheek , his anger boiling over .

Did you just hit me ? Do you even realize it was Christina and the Stevens family who disrespected me first ? He continued , I am part of the Weller family and the future head of it .

You expect me to just swallow this insult ? Kanes chest heaved as he struggled to control his rage , his face pale .
