Chapter 272 Andrew responded indifferently , 20 % of Stevens Corporations shares are supposed to be my reward ? You seem to have quite an inflated opinion of yourself , Ms.

Stevens , he added with a hint of sarcasm .

门 Douglas quickly chimed in , Take it , Andy .

You hielped us out , and this is what you deserve .

Sir , I dont need the money , Andrew said with a smile .noveldrama

While 20 % of Stevens Corporation is substantial , it makes no difference to me whether I have it or not .

Christina took a deep breath and replied coldly , If you dont want it , theres nothing more to say .

I gave you an opportunity , Andrew , but you couldnt seize it .

She felt uncomfortable , knowing Andrews rejection stemmed from underestimating Stevens Corporation .

Little did he know that the company had transformed significantly since its early days .

To her , Andrew remained as shortsighted as ever , lacking true vision .

Among the Stevens family , only Douglas had a different perspective .

He realized the family had missed their chance to align with a true powerhouse .

He had intended to bind Stevens Corporation and Andrew together through the shares he would have readily offered 50 % instead of 20 % .

Unfortunately , Andrew had explicitly declined .

Still unwilling to give up , Douglas suddenly changed the subject and asked , So , Andy , are you seeing anyone these days ? At this question , Christina froze mid eating as she turned to look at Andrew .

Meeting her gaze , Andrew replied casually , No.

As you know , Im too laid back for most women to consider dating .

Thats nonsense , Douglas said seriously .

Youve got both character and capability .

Christie also mentioned youve even been promoted to deputy chief at Jayrodale General Hospital .

Yes .

Someone recognized my talent , and I got a promotion , Andrew admitted .

Douglas nodded thoughtfully .

Youre already a deputy chief at such a young age in my opinion , thats just as impressive as Christies position as CEO .

Let me make a suggestion , Andy and forgive me for being presumptuous , Douglas continued .

Why dont you and Christie try to reconnect ? Maybe rekindle what you once had ? Andrew froze , caught off guard by Douglass unexpected proposal .

i had too much to Grandpa , have drink ? Christina protested .

Andrew and I broke up .

long ago .

Some things cant be fixed once theyre broken .

1/2 Chapter 272 Irene chimed in disapprovingly , Thats right ! Christies net worth keeps growing .

Now that shes free from the Weller familys interference , shes about to become Jayrodales most eligible CEO .

You cant just play matchmaker without considering whether a mere deputy chief is worthy of Christies status theyre worlds apart ! Douglas quivered with anger as he thundered , Foolish woman , hold your tongue ! You look down on Andy for being just a deputy chief ? Tell me , who saved the Stevens family from crisis today ? Irene fell silent with a cold snort , though her disapproval remained evident .

dont Douglas turned to Christina , saying , While you may run Stevens Corporation , you control the Stevens family .

If you still respect me as your grandfather , youll follow my wishes ! Π He continued , Mark my words even if you turn Stevens Corporation into a top 500 company worldwide , it will mean nothing if you let Andrew slip away .

Christina argued , Grandpa , youre clearly favoring Andrew .

Besides , you cant force matters of the heart .

Douglas retorted , So , youre still going to be stubborn as ever ? Christina turned away and stated firmly , When I chose to break up never to look back .

with Andrew , I decided Mr.

Stevens Senior , please dont pressure her , Andrew interjected with a smile .

Besides , I agree that were not compatible .

With her current achievements , Im truly not worthy of her .

Andrew , you dont need to use subtle jabs to provoke Grandpa , Christina responded coldly .
