Chapter 582 25 BONUS Finley scoffed , shocked that Andrew was actually trying to eece five million out of Aspen .

He could not help but think Andrews greed was going to be the death of him ..

Irene stood with her hands on her hips , smirking .

Andrew youve got quite a show going today , but let me tell you something our family may not have brought a large crowd , but were not someone you can push around ! Leroy puffed up his chest and added , Yeah ! Aspens got to family fighters with her .

Youre in for a world of pain soon ! Shut up , both of you ! Christina snapped , her brow furrowed in frustration .

Why should we ? Irene huffed .

With Aspen backing us , ve got every right to show off a little ! She crossed her arms and scowled .

Besides , look at this fancy medical center Andrews opened.

Its practically a luxury resort .

I cant stand the thought of him living it up like this ! Leroy nodded eagerly .

Exactly ! Andrew dumped you , and now hes thriving first buying that fancy Mercedes , and now opening this place .

It just proves you were blind , Christie ! You let a golden opportunity slip right through your fingers .

Christinas expression tightened .

Deep down , she could not deny that their words stung .

She had always prided herself on making smart choices , yet Andrews unexpected success gnawed at her pride .

He had not even worked that hard for it , yet here he was , flourishing .

The thought burned her .

It was as if Andrews rise was a slap to her ego a harsh reminder of her missteps and misplaced judgment .

Taking a steady breath , Christina addressed Andrew .

Andrew , Aspens here to settle things with Madblade Martial Academy .

But more importantly , youve crossed her too many times especially at the artifact auction where you seized billions of her investment without returning a cent .

If you want to keep your Moonlit Apothecary intact , youd be wise to apologize to Aspen and pay her back .

Andrews gaze hardened .

Christina , when did you become her messenger ? He sneered .

Aspens a lunatic .

Dont you see shes going to drag your Stevens familys fragile assets down with her ? Christinas eyes blazed as she snapped , Watch your mouth ! That was a warning , Andrew .

If Aspen gives the order , I wont be able to stop her .

Andrew chuckled softly , shaking his head .

After all this time , youre still blind to the truth .

Go ahead , Christina .

Let Aspen make her move .

Then well see if she crawls back to Bridgefields in tears or if Im the one on my knees apologizing .

Youre playing with fire , Christina warned icily .

You think you can keep winning ? You have no idea how powerful Bridgefields Stevens family is .

If you push them too far , do you really think Mr.

Yates and those other big names will go to war for you ? Aspen cut in , her voice dripping with disdain .

Christina , stop wasting words on a dead man walking .

Once I settle things with Rodney , Andrews next .

Christina sighed deeply , her voice now cold and detached .

Fine .

Your feud with Aspen is your problem now .

But mark my words when youre lying on the ground , begging for mercy , dont look to me for help .

I wont lift a finger .
