Chapter 721
Andrew said casually, “I just remembered there’s still one thing I haven’t taken care of.”
Winston shuddered, his voice trembling. “Andrew, what are you trying to do? I’m warning you, if you go too far, the Wright family will have no choice but to go to war with you.”
Andrew chuckled. “Relax, Mr. Wright. You’re way too afraid of dying, so of course, I wouldn’t do anything drastic to you. Now, go on and swallow this Bone Corroding Poison Pill. That’s the only way I’ll believe you won’t come back to cause me trouble.”
Winston’s face turned pale with terror as he staggered backward. “What? You want me to take poison? No way! I absolutely refuse!”
Andrew’s expression darkened. “If you refuse, then no one here is leaving today. You all can stay in Jayrodale permanently.”
Winston’s face twisted with rage, humiliation, and helplessness, his emotions shifting wildly.
Jason quickly whispered, “Mr. Wright, just take it. Once we get back to Blumedale, the family will definitely bring in a master healer to cure you. When that happens, we’ll come back stronger than ever, and Andrew will be good as dead.”
Winston was instantly swayed. As long as he could escape back to the Wright family, everything would be easy to fix. With their resources, dealing with a mere poison pill would be nothing.
He grumbled, “Fine, I’ll take it!”
Without hesitation, he grabbed the pill from Andrew and swallowed it. Then, without sparing a second, Winston and Jason bolted toward Blumedale, running for their lives.
With that, the Reckoning Toast hosted by the Chapman family officially came to an end. In the end, Raymond suffered a crushing defeat. No one had expected things to turn out like this.
Winston, the heir of the Blumedale Wright family, had been utterly humiliated in Jayrodale. For the Wright family, this was an unbearable disgrace.
Many were waiting for the Wright family’s elites to storm Jayrodale for revenge. They were convinced it would not take long–there was no way the Wright family would let this slide.
Andrew might have won today, but what awaited him was an overwhelming storm of retaliation.
Meanwhile, Christina’s heart trembled as she watched everything unfold. Seeing it with her own eyes was far more shocking than anything she had ever imagined.
Andrew had changed–he was strong, terrifyingly strong. Compared to before, he was like a completely different person.
She stepped forward, biting her lip as her gaze flickered with mixed emotions. “Andrew, I think we need to talk… alone.”
Andrew’s voice remained indifferent. “If you have something to say, Ms. Stevens, just say it here.”
Christina glanced at Natasha and Dylan hesitantly, feeling uneasy. “Andrew, I just want to have a private conversation with you. Is that really too much to ask?”
A mocking smirk appeared on Andrew’s lips. “Should I take this as you begging me, Ms. Stevens?”
Christina froze, her expression turning grim. “Andrew, I know you’ve built your own power now, and you’re stronger than ever… But asking me to beg you? That’s never going to happen.”
Andrew let out a cold snort. “If that’s the case, then why are you wasting my time? I’ve already told you–we’re done. I’ve been more than fair to both you and the Stevens family.”
With that, he turned and left with his people, not looking back. Christina stood there, biting her lip in frustration, her fists clenching.
Aspen walked up beside her and sneered. “Christie, I told you it was pointless. That man is nothing but a selfish jerk. When the Stevens family was thriving, he clung to you like a parasite. Now that Lauren is the better option, he’s sucking up to her instead. Of course, he doesn’t care about you anymore.”
Christina shook her head, refusing to believe it. “No… that’s not the Andrew I know. He’s always valued loyalty and emotions. As long as I’m patient and show him I understand and accept him, he’ll come back to me… I know he will.”
Aspen sighed in frustration. “Christie, I really don’t get it. Why would you even want him back?”
