Chapter 172 Unfortunately for Harvey , his troubles were far from over .

Just after being put in his place by Andrew , Leroy decided to strike with another blow .

Harvey , I need an answer right now .

When are you going to pay back the money you borrowed from me ? Leroys tone was aggressive , completely different from his usual fawning attitude toward him .

Leroy , considering my relationship with Christie , whats a few million between family ? I could pay you back in a heartbeat , Harvey said , his patience wearing thin .

Leroy extended his hand and demanded , Great , then pay me right now .

Harvey was furious but helpless .

He did not have the money to pay Leroy , and he could not even bear to think about his other debts , wondering if he would have to sell everything he owned just to break even .

Leroy mocked , Harvey , youre supposed to be the Weller family heir and want to marry Christie .

If you cant even come up with a few million , what makes you think youre worthy of marrying her ? Harvey trembled with humiliation .

Never before had the golden boy of Jayrodale been pushed into such a corner .

What made it worse was that while he could normally make anyone who crossed him disappear without a trace , this was Christinas brother , so he had to hold back .

Leroy , just give me some time .

I promise Ill find a way to pay back everything I owe to you , Mrs.

Stevens , and Christina , Harvey pleaded , trying to buy time with empty promises .

However , Leroy was not buying it .

Oh , please ! I can see right through you , Harvey .

Youre all talk nothing but a pretty face with no substance .

I know youre just planning to borrow money to pay me back .

Why dont you just ask Andrew ? Hes rich now , and hes standing right here .

You expect me to borrow money from him ? Do you think someone of my status would stoop so low ? Harvey felt deeply insulted .

Leroy shrugged .

Thats not my problem .

Honestly , Id rather have Andrew as a brother in- law now .

Youre nothing but a broke fraud , Harvey .

The Stevens family must have been blind to ever consider you .

The blatant disrespect nearly pushed Harvey over the edge .noveldrama

Leroy , are you looking down on me ? Christina noticed that things were escalating , and she quickly stepped in Leroy , thats enough ! If Harvey cant pay right now , stop pushing him .

Leroy argued , So were just supposed to let him get away with this ? The Weller family claims # Chapter 172 to be so powerful in Jayrodale , but look at him Hes nothing but a con man who not only took your money but tried to steal your heart too .

Hes useless .

Lets put this aside for now , Christina said firmly .

If anyones to blame , its me .

If I had been more careful , we wouldnt have lost so much .

Suddenly , Leroy turned to Andrew with a complete change in attitude .

Andrew , I apologize for how I treated you before .

I know you still have feelings for Christina , and honestly , you two would make a perfect couple now .

Why dont you consider rekindling your relationship with her ? His face showed an eager , almost desperate expression as he smiled ingratiatingly at Andrew .

Sorry , Im not interested , Andrew replied coldly .

Come on , Andrew , Leroy persisted .

Youve got money , power , and status now .

You and Christina would be perfect together .
