Chapter 272 Andrew responded indifferently, 20% of Stevens Corporations shares are supposed to be my reward? You seem to have quite an inted opinion of yourself, Ms.


    Stevens, he added with a hint of sarcasm


    1 Dous quickly chimed in, Take it, Andy.


    You hielped us out, and this is what you deserve.


    Sir, I dont need the money, Andrew said with a smile.


    While 20 % of Stevens Corporation is substantial, it makes no difference to me whether I have it or not. Christina took a deep breath and replied coldly, If you dont want it, theres nothing more to say.


    I gave you an opportunity, Andrew, but you couldnt seize it.


    She felt ufortable, knowing Andrews rejection stemmed from underestimating Stevens Corporation.


    Little did he know that thepany had transformed significantly since its early days.


    To her, Andrew remained as shortsighted as ever,cking true vision.


    Among the Stevens family, only Dous had a different perspective.


    He realized the family had missed their chance to align with a true powerhouse.


    He had intended to bind Stevens Corporation and Andrew together through the shares he would have readily offered 50 % instead of 20%.


    Unfortunately, Andrew had explicitly declined.


    Still unwilling to give up, Dous suddenly changed the subject and asked, So, Andy, are you seeing anyone these days? At this question, Christina froze mid eating as she turned to look at Andrew. Meeting her gaze, Andrew replied casually, No.


    As you know, Im tooid back for most women to consider dating.


    Thats nonsense, Dous said seriously.


    Youve got both character and capability.


    Christie also mentioned youve even been promoted to deputy chief at Jayrodale General Hospital. Yes.


    Someone recognized my talent, and I got a promotion, Andrew admitted.


    Dous nodded thoughtfully.


    Youre already a deputy chief at such a young age in my opinion, thats just as impressive as Christies position as CEO


    Let me make a suggestion, Andy and forgive me for being presumptuous, Dous continued.


    Why dont you and Christie try to reconnect? Maybe rekindle what you once had? Andrew froze, caught off guard by Douss unexpected proposal.


    i had too much to Grandpa, have drink? Christina protested.


    Andrew and I broke up.


    long ago.


    Some things cant be fixed once theyre broken.


    1/2  Chapter 272 Irene chimed in disapprovingly, Thats right! Christies worth keeps growing.


    Now that shes free from the Weller familys interference, shes about to be Jayrodales most eligible CEO


    You cant just y matchmaker without considering whether a mere deputy chief is worthy of Christies status theyre worlds apart! Dous quivered with anger as he thundered, Foolish woman, hold your tongue! You look down on Andy for being just a deputy chief? Tell me, who saved the Stevens family from crisis today? Irene fell silent with a cold snort, though her disapproval remained evident.


    dont Dous turned to Christina, saying, While you may run Stevens Corporation, you control the Stevens family.


    If you still respect me as your grandfather, youll follow my wishes! П He continued, Mark my words even


    if you turn Stevens Corporation into a top 500pany worldwide, it will mean nothing if you let Andrew slip away


    Christina argued, Grandpa, youre clearly favoring Andrew.


    Besides, you cant force matters of the heart.


    Dous retorted, So, youre still going to be stubborn as ever? Christina turned away and stated firmly, When I chose to break up never to look back.


    with Andrew, I decided Mr.


    Stevens Senior, please dont pressure her, Andrew interjected with a smile.


    Besides, I agree that were notpatible.


    With her current achievements, Im truly not worthy of her.


    Andrew, you dont need to use subtle jabs to provoke Grandpa, Christina responded coldly.
