Chapter 168 Harvey stood frozen , muttering , How could this happen ? This isnt right … This cant be right He was completely floored by the news as he had invested everything he had , even borrowing money and convincing the Stevens family to contribute their savings .
He had planned to pay them back a token amount from the payout money and keep the lions share for himself .
Yet , he was in an even worse financial position than before .
For a fleeting moment , Harvey genuinely thought about just ending it all .
Harvey , whats going on ? Christina asked , her voice heavy with disappointment .
Did your familys inside information turn out to be wrong , or were you just gambling blindly ? Harveys attempt at a smile looked more like a grimace .
Christie , please believe me , we really did have inside information .
I wouldnt have I dont believe anything you say anymore , Christina cut him off .
Mr.
Thatcher made it clear -weve lost everything .noveldrama
Irene shouted , Harvey , Idont care what it takes , but you better find a way to get my money back .
Use your family connections ! If I lose my retirement savings , you can forget about having any future with Christie ! Leroy snarled , Yeah .
You had better return my money too ! Otherwise , youre not my brother- in law anymore youre my enemy ! The other Stevens family members exchanged glances , some even snickering quietly in the corners .
Serves him right for trying to keep all the profits to himself , one whispered .
ment I used to think he was some investment genius .
If I could go back in time , Id slap myself for being so blind .
This whole mess just proves that hes nothing but an overrated hack .
Im done wasting my time here its not worth it .
Their scornful remarks made Harveys already grim mood turn murderous , his face burning with humiliation .
He had always been viewed as the perfect , capable young man from a prestigious family , And just like that , he had become nothing but a laughingstock .
Irenes threats about Christina were the final straw .
For a moment , Harvey wanted nothing more than to slam Irene and Leroy into the ground and shut them up for good .
They were a bunch of nobodies ! Who gave them the right to bark at him like this ? +25 US Chapter 166 .
Mrs.
Stevens , Leroy , please calm down .
Ill make this right , Harvey forced himself to say with a smile , not wanting to burn his bridges with the Stevens family just yet .
Their hostile attitudes made him want to lash out , but he had to keep his cool .
Otherwise , Christina would slip through his fingers for good .
Nonetheless , Irene and Leroys aggressive demands made it impossible to focus .
Now trembling with anger , Irene had to lean on someone to steady herself .
She gasped for air and snapped , Make it right ? How are you going to make it right ? Leroy sneered .
I dont care what excuses you come up with .
All I care about is my money .
Pay it back , and youre still my brother in law .
If you dont , were done here .
Harveys forced smile froze as his eyes darkened dangerously .
These people were really pushing their luck .
Did they really think he did not have limits ?
