Chapter 174
“Amelia! Amelia!” Charles‘ mother, Michelle, grabbed Amelia’s hand.
“Listen, your uncle is still in surgery and hasn’t come out yet, Charles really screwed up this time, but we need the money. Maybe you should call Mr. Franklin and figure out how we can fix this.”
Amelia bit her lip. She had hoped to use this situation to help the Franklin Group see the Murray family differently.
After all, Carol had never approved of her and the Murray family, thinking they always caused trouble
for Nathan.
But unexpectedly, they had still messed things up. If Carol found out about this, she would look down
on her even more.
“Amelia, only you can solve this by calling your husband. Please! I swear I’ll never gamble again! I swear!”
Charles continued pleading, “Amelia, please save our family!”
Amelia couldn’t refuse Charles, so she finally nodded. “I… I’ll first see how much money I can gather, then I’ll call Nathan.”
Nathan needed to know about this, after all. Since the situation had already occurred, it was most important to see how they could remedy it.
Amelia first checked her accounts and then asked Yolanda if she could receive her endorsement, film, and television earnings in advance.
Yolanda was infuriated when she heard Amelia was about to give money to the Murray family again.
“Seriously Amy, can’t you be more sensible! The Murray family aren’t your real parents; why are you so concerned? You already gave them all your savings last time!”
“I’ve been part of the Murray family since I was a kid; it’s only fair,” Amelia pleaded softly.
“This will tarnish your reputation! What if word gets out that you’re short on money? What will the crew and the brand think of you? They’ll start wondering if you’re in trouble, have been gambling, or if someone’s got dirt on you!
“Right now, what the brand and the crew fear the most is actors with a bad reputation! They’ll replace you in a heartbeat!” Yolanda warned. “You’re playing with your future here.”
After receiving a negative response, Amelia sold off a few of her stocks, but they only amounted to
less than ten million.
With no other option, she clenched her teeth and called Nathan, informing him about Charles‘ misuse of public funds for gambling.
Nathan’s anger flared, but he forced himself to calm down.

He walked to the window, resting his hand against the glass, and asked with closed eyes, Murray family have enough liquid assets to speed up the delivery of this batch of medicine?”

Amelia’s eyes filled with tears of guilt. “I’ve already checked, but it’s not enough. I’ve just sold off all my stocks, and I’m trying to figure out how to attend more events.
“At most, I can gather fifteen million within a week. I’m sorry, Nathan. I didn’t expect Charles to cause you so much trouble this time…”
Nathan stood straight, his lips tightly pursed, unable to contain his anger.
“Doesn’t Charles realize that our two companies have signed a contract? If they fail to deliver the medicine on time, the Murray family could face bankruptcy!”
“I’m sorry, Nathan!” Amelia cried out, “It’s all my fault. No matter what happens to the Murray family, I’m just afraid of causing you trouble and failing to fulfill the terms for Evergreen Biotech.”
“Nathan… It’s only been ten days since the contract with the Franklin family and Evergreen Biotech was signed. Can you… try to find a way to inject capital into the Murray family?”
Nathan was burning with anger. He ended the call and urgently called for a meeting with the group’s top executives.
At the conference table, Nathan sat at the forefront, his face dark and silent.
The top executives argued incessantly.
