Chapter 1409

Auteur: Only For You
Andrew continued his insults. "Weren't you the one who always thought you were better than everyone else? Even after we split, you couldn't help but go against me—jealous, bitter, convinced I didn't deserve to rise higher than you.

"And now? You come crawling to me on your knees. Don't you think that's pathetic? Disgraceful?"

Tears slid silently down Christina's face. She broke down in sobs, the pain in her chest unbearable. "I know… I know how worthless I am. I've lost my pride. I've lost my dignity. This is all my fault.

"Andrew… I'm not asking for anything else. I know you hate me. I know you've long stopped caring. But I've run out of options. My mom is too old to survive on the streets, and Leroy's body is falling apart since he lost a kidney. You're the only one who can save us now."

Andrew pulled his hand back and flicked his fingers in disgust as if her very touch tainted him. Instead, he asked, "What's the situation with Mr. Stevens Senior in Jayrodale?"

    Emily and Freya chimed in with matching smiles, "Hannah is right, Dad! Open it up so everyone can see! Everyone else's gifts are out in the open, and we're all curious about what's in that little box!" George hesitated for a moment, "There's really no need for that, is there? Andy's thoughtfulness is what matters—whatever he gave is perfectly fine with me!" Duncan laughed mockingly, "Mr. Keller Senior, you can't say that! The Keller family's reputation is on the line here. If it's some cheap junk you can buy anywhere, I suggest throwing it straight in the trash. Otherwise, it'll just be an insult to you!" Both Duncan and the Keller sisters were clearly hoping to see Andrew humiliated in front of everyone. George glanced over at Andrew with an apologetic smile, "Andy, would you mind if we showed everyone? You're not bothered by that, are you?" Andrew appeared completely unfazed, "The gift belongs to you, so whether you show it or not is entirely up to you! Though I'd suggest

    Emily, Freya, and Hannah smiled as they stepped forward with their own birthday gifts. The attendant announced, "From Ms. Emily, an original oil painting by Elias Greaves; from Ms. Freya, a rare medicinal pill from Mistveil Peak; and from Ms. Hannah, a string of sanctified prayer beads, blessed by the Grand Sage of the Solace Abbey!" They could have given these gifts to George privately earlier. However, they deliberately waited until all the Gabo Creek Chamber of Commerce members were present to make their presentation. First, it demonstrated the three daughters' affection for their father in front of everyone. Second, it was meant to pressure Andrew and show him what standards he was expected to meet—even casual gifts within the Keller family were beyond what ordinary people could dream of affording. George's usually stern face softened slightly as he looked at his three daughters' gifts. "You girls are so thoughtful!" Hannah pouted playfully, "Dad, aren't you going to ask

    Logan whispered, "Andy, let me quietly fill you in on everyone here! That guy over there is Mr. Stein from Prima Group—he's worth over 50 billion! "And that one is Mr. Drache, Blumedale's connection between the legitimate and underground worlds—he's got enough pull to summon martial kings! "See that flashy socialite? Her husband was in the jewelry business, but he's dead now, and she inherited his assets worth hundreds of billions. She's one of the most powerful people in the Gabo Creek Chamber of Commerce!" In the grand conference room of the Keller residence, well-dressed men and women continued to filter in and out. Andrew and Logan sat tucked away in their corner spot, watching the steady stream of Chamber of Commerce members arrive. Logan kept up his running commentary, introducing each influential figure to Andrew. Honestly, Andrew was not particularly interested. After all, it was just a meeting; no matter how high-ranking or wealthy these people were, he had seen it

    George hissed, "Your pride should come from your abilities and your intelligence, not from riding on the family name or my name, walking around with your noses in the air!" He slammed his hand on the desk, making everyone jump. "Right now, I'm still alive and can keep things in line, but someday, I'll be gone! And when that day comes, if you're still acting like spoiled brats who think you're better than everyone else, then all three of you are going to crash and burn!" The Keller sisters fell silent instantly, but their faces were red with indignation, clearly showing how furious they were. They could not understand why their father would say such harsh things out of nowhere. Did he really favor Andrew that much? Was he really so eager to hand over his three daughters to some outsider? Emily's jaw tightened as she argued defiantly, "Dad, maybe you're right, maybe we're blind! But there's one thing I refuse to accept!" George's stern face remained unmoved as he let the bu

    Emily looked completely unconvinced but had nothing to say, so she just sat there sulking in silence. Freya maintained her aloof demeanor and said coolly, "He might be very wealthy, but there are many rich people in this world. What I love is art—something ten thousand times more valuable than money! So, Andrew's money means nothing to me!" George smirked, "Is that so? What if I told you that Andrew has two of your beloved Viktor Voss masterpieces hanging in his Serenity Villa right now? Serenity Villa itself is the perfect combination of architecture and art, and it's registered under his name! What gives you the right to act superior in front of him?" Freya could not believe it. "The Serenity Villa at The Sovereign Residences—that perfect mansion is under Andrew's name? But Dad, wasn't Serenity Villa always owned by that Southern martial arts master Zachary Fischer?" George snorted, "I don't know the exact details, but one thing's certain—Zachary voluntarily gave Serenity

    Inside the Keller residence, George looked stern as he called his daughters to come before him. He asked, "You three were behind the conflict between the Irvings and Andy, weren't you?" Emily remained silent, Freya snorted coldly without responding, and Hannah giggled. She said, "Dad, we were just playing a little joke on him! You want to marry one of us to him, right? Of course, we had to test him first!" George sneered coldly, "Is that so? So, what did your test reveal?" Hannah pouted. "We found out he's completely useless! If you hadn't stepped in, Dad, Mr. Irving might have beaten him to a pulp!" George laughed—but it was a cold laugh. "So, all three of you think this way?" The three sisters did not speak, but all nodded, their expression contemptuous. George suddenly roared, "Foolish! If you three weren't girls, I would have given you all a severe beating today!" This sudden outburst frightened the three. Hannah, being the most delicate, immediately teared up.
