Chapter 299 I cant believe a powerful woman like Madam Vostokoff would lose her head over a worthless man .

How disappointing , Aspen muttered , finally suppressing her humiliation and anger .

Come on , Christie .noveldrama

If she doesnt recognize our value , well go to Mr.

Giordano in the Northern District , she declared .

Aspen , there are many ways to expand our familys business into Jayrodale , Christina said worriedly .

I dont think you need to deal with underground figures like them .

Their methods are often questionable , and Im concerned .

Aspen interrupted with a dismissive laugh , I know what youre worried about , Christie .

Youre afraid Im too naïve and might get played by them , right ? Dont underestimate me .

Just watch soon , the two of us will make such a name for ourselves in Jayrodale that no one will dare look down on us .

Christina frowned slightly , her instincts telling her that her cousin from the main family was being too hasty .

Nonetheless , given Aspens headstrong nature , which was even more assertive than most men , she decided to keep her thoughts to herself .

Christie , you saw how your ex has won Natashas favor , Aspen remarked with a mocking smile .

Christinas voice turned cold .

Hes made his choices .

It has nothing to do with me .

Aspen said in a playful tone , The underground forces in Jayrodale are shifting .

Mr.

Giordano from the Northern District and Mr.

Moore from Hidden Dragons will emerge victorious .

Madam Vostokoff will regret rejecting our alliance , and when she falls , Andrew will suffer the consequences .

Christina hesitated for a moment before advising Aspen , I really think you should avoid getting involved with people like Mr.

Giordano .

Aspen waved her hand confidently .

Relax , Christie .

Before I even set foot in Jayrodale , I studied everything about its power dynamics .

Mr.

Giordano and the Northern District are poised to dominate , becoming the kings of the citys underground .

If we align with him now , our family will have a foothold here in no time .

Meanwhile , in the car , Natasha let out a scoff .

Aspens got some reputation and influence .

Too bad she overrates herself .

I cant stand those arrogant women who think theyre better than everyone else .

Andrew glanced at her and said , Aspen represents the Bridgefields Stevens family .

Turning her down is one thing , but outright insulting her West End just lost a potentially valuable client .

Natasha snorted .

West End isnt going to crumble over some girl from Bridgefields .

Besides , 1/2 Chapter 299 she had the nerve to badmouth my darling .

I had to teach her a lesson .

Andrews expression turned serious .

Natasha , I not your darling .

Youre a widow , and comments like that could damage my reputation Natasha raised an eyebrow and smirked mischievously .

Oh , I want everyone to know youre involved with me .

Youve been rejecting me over and over , but once the rumors spread , lets see how you handle it .

10 Andrews face darkened slightly , but he chose not to argue with her .

After all , while Natasha could be overbearing , she had never truly crossed the line with him .

He wanted to her place but could not find a good enough reason to make a move .

put her in Before long , the car came to a stop , and Andrew stepped out , looking at an upscale hotel before him .
