Chapter 148 Christina took a deep breath , finding her calm .

Mr.

Madden Senior , even as East Sides crime lord , if you hurt me , Harvey will demand justice .

At this point , she could not imagine Tony completely disregarding the Weller familys influence .

However , Tony scoffed .

Harvey ? That guy owes me millions : Justice ? The moment he sees me , hed be on his knees begging ! The men around the room erupted in mocking laughter .

Harvey ? That guys nothing but a cowardly joke ! one of them jeered .

Another sneered .

Ms.

Stevens , youre a stunner , but sticking with Harvey ? Youre wasting your beauty .noveldrama

Youd be better off with Mr.

Madden Senior .

Hed make sure the Stevens family reaches new heights .

Honestly , another chimed in , Harveys only still afloat because his father has some sway .

Otherwise , hed have been tossed out of Jayrodale long ago ! Christinas anger flared .

She could not believe the arrogance of these East Side thugs , openly belittling the Weller family like this .

However , doubts began to creep into her mind .

First , Jayrodale Banks manager had hinted at Harvey being neck deep in debt , and now Tony was saying the same thing .

A single accusation could be dismissed as slander , but hearing it from multiple sources made her uneasy .

Mr.

Madden Senior , since your men are so bold , will you let me call Harvey right now ? Christina challenged , thinking only Harvey could bring these thugs back down .

Tony laughed .

Go ahead , Im in no rush .

His confidence only increased Christinas unease , but she still could not believe Harvey was as worthless as they claimed .

After all , the Wellers were a prominent family in Jayrodale .

With that in mind , she dialed his number several times .

However , after several attempts , there was no answer .

Frowning , Christina redialed .

Harvey would always answer her calls , and she was unwilling to give up so easily .

But again , the call went to voicemail .

Tony sneered .

Dont waste your time .

That cowards probably hiding from me .

Youve got a better chance of winning the lottery than convincing him to show his face here .

Christinas face paled as her anxiety peaked , wondering what was going on with Harvey .

Ill give you one last chance call Andrew to come here , and youll be safe , Tony demanded coldly .

Otherwise , my men will have their way with you .

The room filled with Tonys disgusting laughter , and for the first time , fear seeped into Christina .

Still , she bit her lip and shook her head Mr.

Madden Senior , I wont do it .

Chapter 148 Tony slammed his hand on his chair , his grin replaced by cold fury .

Fine .

Lets see what lasts longer your stubbornness or my whip .

Then , he ordered his men , Strike her , but avoid her face and legs .

Well want to have some fun later .

A thin whip cracked across Christinas back , leaving a visible blood mark through her dress .

Though tears welled in her eyes from the pain , she bit her lip and refused to make a sound .

Quite tough , arent you ? Lets see how long that lasts .

Keep going ! Tony shouted .

The whip struck again and again until blood soaked through her dress .

The pain became unbearable , and Christina finally broke , crying out , Just kill me if youve got the guts !
