Chapter 267

Behind Andrew, Christina's grandfather, Douglas, wheeled himself into the room. Douglas stated calmly, "I asked Andrew to come here to save the Stevens family."

"Grandpa, the Weller family is oppressing us, and Andrew can't possibly help," Christina said anxiously. "And you shouldn't be here in your condition. Please go home. I'll handle everything."

Douglas thundered, "Handle it? How exactly? The Stevens family may not be among the elite, but we still have our dignity! Now we're being bullied openly, and you, my ungrateful granddaughter, didn't even tell me! Do you no longer respect me as your grandfather?"

Douglas's rebuke brought Christina to tears. "Grandpa, I'm sorry my incompetence has brought shame upon you."

Douglas scoffed. "I'm already on my deathbed, so my dignity doesn't matter. But why didn't you ask for help when Stevens Corporation was being so unjustly treated?"

Christina wiped her tears and replied desperately, "Who could I ask, Grandpa? Even the Bridgefields, a prominent Stevens family branch, couldn't match the Wellers—I had no options left!"

"No options? Can't you see Andy is right here?" Douglas responded in frustration.

Christina hesitated, then shook her head. "Grandpa, I've already said this—Andrew can't save the Stevens family. The Weller family is too powerful for an ordinary person to fight against."

"Did you hear that, old man?" Harvey laughed. "We're unstoppable. This nobody you brought won't help you."

Douglas trembled with anger. "Kane was once a powerful figure in Jayrodale. How did he produce such a heartless beast? The Stevens family may be small, but we're not yours to push around, boy."

Harvey sneered. "Now that you're here, it saves me the trouble of coming after you after I take your granddaughter and your company. You're near death anyway, and you should've lived your remaining days in peace. It seems like you're just eager to die."

"Harvey, if you dare lay a hand on my grandpa, I'll fight you to the death!" Christina's eyes blazed with fury.

"Andrew, why did you bring Dad here?" Irene screamed. "You're a walking disaster! Are you trying to get Dad killed too? Take him away right now!"

"Yes, Andrew, please get Grandpa out of here," Christina pleaded urgently. "I can't let anything happen to him."

"While I'm here, nothing will happen to Mr. Stevens Senior," Andrew stated calmly.

Douglas sighed. "Andy, I know the Stevens family has wronged you in the past. But I'm still going to swallow my pride and ask—will you help protect the Stevens family one more time?"

Andrew smiled. "Mr. Stevens Senior, since I came here with you, I won't stand idly by. Don't worry, the Stevens family will be safe."

"Grandpa, this isn't the time for games. You and Andrew need to leave. He can't help us!" Christina urged desperately.

"I told you before that you missed the greatest chance of your life," Douglas said coldly. "You foolish girl, you truly have no idea of Andy's true capabilities!"
