"The Stevens family had a chance to rise, and you all threw it away. You deserve your downfall" His voice was filled with regret and disappointment.
Christina clenched her fists, her nails digging into her palms. "Grandpa, listen to me-Stevens Corporation will still thrive, even without Andrew. I just need time." Douglas scoffed, disinterested, as he stood up and walked toward the door. "Christie, you're just a woman; I know exactly how capable you are. So doa favor-stop wasting your tfighting meaningless battles and making reckless choices.
"Andrew is gone. He was a dragon in a cage when he was with us, but now? Now he's free, soaring to heights we'll never reach. That's our fate. We 't change it." "Focus on running Stevens Corporation properly. I don't care if you becrich and powerful-I just want this family to have stability, to stick together, and to live a peaceful life."

"Christie... Leroy... we almost died tonight! To be honest, I'm terrified. I don't ever want to go through that again!" Leroy, still gagging, kept forcing his fingers down his throat, trying to purge himself of the filth. His voice was hoarse as he whimpered, "Mom, I'm scared too... The Stevens family is too weak.

"Christie, we need to go find Andrew. He's the only one who can protect us now." Christina's face hardened. "Mom, you're not actually thinking of begging him, are you?" Irene let out a bitter laugh. "Before tonight? No, I never would have lowered myself like that. But after what just happened... I see everything clearly now. Andrew has already risen far beyond us-so high that we can't even look up to him anymore.
"And all this time, I was too blind to acknowledge it. I kept ignoring the truth, refusing to see his worth. That's why the Stevens family has been left to rot-why we almost got destroyed tonight." She added, "I can't live like this anymore. I won't let this family suffer again. I won't let you be treated like dirt again. So, Christina... we need to beg Andrew for mercy. For the sake of the past, maybe-just maybe he'll grant us his protection.'
Irene sat there, her plump body trembling uncontrollably, sullo m paralyzed by fear.
Leroy looked up, his eyes hollow. "Christie, listen to Mom. Let's go beg Andrew. Hell, I'll kneel have to. I'm really scared. If something like this happens again... the Hidden Dragons won't just humiliatenext time. 1/2 *25 BONUS Chapter 859 They'll kill me.
