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 ?
