Chapter 143 Youre making too big a deal out of this.


    Why bring me in for such a minor yer? Bane remarked. Michael scoffed


    Bane, youre oversimplifying things.


    To inherit Rhodes Corporation, I need to get rid of Lauren


    With your help, eliminating her would have made my path to leadership smooth sailing, but then Andrew showed up and ruined everything.


    I cant even enjoy messing around with women anymore with this rage burning inside me.


    Bane nodded


    Fair enough.


    He has sparked my curiosity too.


    The fact that he could neutralize my poison shows more skill than that old fool Cedric Id like to meet him myself.


    Michael smiled coldly, confident in his n


    With Lauren protecting him, I couldnt touch him directly.


    But now that Tonys involved, that punk is as good as dead


    Later that evening, Christina was preparing to leave the South City project office after a long days work. Christie, please buy me a Porsche


    Im begging you, Leroy pleaded, following behind her.


    Christina shook her head.


    Leroy, youre my brother, but youre also a man.


    If you want a luxury car, earn it yourself.


    Lve given you a great opportunity at Stevens Corporation.


    If you work hard, a Porsche is nothing.


    Leroy whined, But how long will it take me to save up hundreds of thousands? Come on, Christie, buy it for me now so I can enjoy it


    Besides, as your brother, shouldnt I be driving something nice to maintain your image as the Stevens Corporations CEO? Yeah, Christie, Irene chimed in


    Whats a couple hundred grand to buy your only brother a car? If you dont spoil him, who will ? Christina turned to Leroy, exasperated.


    Tell me, why this sudden obsession with a luxury car? Dont you already have one? Leroyined, That old BMW is garbage.


    I cant even pick up decent girls with it just a bunch of low end types who work at nail salons.


    So, you want a Porsche just to show off and pick up women? Christina asked with a smirk No! Leroy fumed.


    I just cant stand Andrew driving a better car than me when hes nothing but a gold digger! Exactly, Irene added


    That loser left you, Christie, and instead of ending up in the gutter, hes thriving.


    We cant let him outshine us


    If he drives a Porsche, Leroy needs an even more expensive one.


    So, this is all aboutpeting with Andrew ? Christinaughed bitterly.


    Do you know hes now the deputy chief at Jayrodale General Hospital? Hes in a leadership position.


    Can you Chapter 143  evenpete with that, Leroy? Irene and Leroy were dumbfounded by the revtion


    Deputy chief? No way! You must be mistaken, Christie, Leroy said adamantly. Irene scoffed


    Him? In leadership? III never believe it.


    Before Christina could respond, a group of men burst into the project office.


    Their leader, at muscr man with an intimidating presence, fixed his cold gaze on the three of them.


    Which one of you is Christina Stevens ? Christina stepped forward, unsuspecting.


    I am.


    What can I help you with? Take her, hemanded.
