Chapter 178
As Carol returned home, she found Amelia sitting in the living room, and she redirected her anger
toward Amelia.
“Why are you here?”
Amelia quickly put her glass down and stood up to greet her. “Mrs. Franklin.”
Thinking that Carol’s displeasure was due to the Murray family’s situation, Amelia explained, “I went to the company, but Nathan wasn’t there. So I came here to wait for him.
“I wanted to ask him if he could still help the Murray family. After all, it was Charles who caused the trouble. I’m worried it might affect Nathan and Evergreen Biotech’s contract.”
Carol’s expression stiffened. “Charles caused trouble again?!”
Amelia looked puzzled at Carol. She hesitated and said, “It’s just… it’s just that… there have been some issues with the Murray Group’s funds.”
Although Carol no longer involved herself in company affairs, it didn’t mean she was unaware.
This time, when the Franklin Group signed a contract with Evergreen Biotech, they collaborated with the Murray Group due to insufficient funds–sharing some of the profits with them.
Initially, Carol was not entirely in favor of this decision.
Nathan explained that he exploited a loophole in the contract to seek assistance, which required keeping the formula confidential. He trusted the Murray Group, leading Carol to agree to the collaboration.
Unexpectedly, the Murray Group had messed up again!
“Tell Nathan to come back this instant!” Carol shouted at the household staff.
“Mrs. Franklin, Mr. Nathan is back!” the household staff reported.
Carol hurried out and saw a tired–looking Nathan entering the house.
She immediately questioned him, “I disagreed with you giving the Murray Group a share from the start, and now the Murray Group has made a mistake!”
Nathan looked up and saw Amelia standing behind Carol.
She had tears in her eyes, her lips tightly sealed.
“Now’s the time to fix the problem, not point fingers. With the Franklin Group under my control, you don’t need to worry anymore.” Nathan’s tone was unpleasant as he looked at Carol. He decided not to enter the house.
“Amelia, come with me.”

Carol clutched her chest. “Fine! You all just won’t let me rest easy. Fine, go on, get out of here! I don’t care how far you go! But you better hurry up and get that paternity test with Audrey’s kid!
“If that child isn’t from our family, then fine! But if she is, I won’t stand for a kid whose mom is always at the dang casino!”
After speaking, Carol was about to go upstairs.
Nathan questioned, “What casino? Why would Audrey be going to a casino?”
Carol retrieved the photos her private detective had taken, showing Audrey leaving a casino.
She handed the photos to Nathan. “See for yourself!”
As Nathan looked through the photos, Amelia also approached.
Her mind was in turmoil. This was the same casino Charles frequented.
Suddenly, she had a bold idea.
Could Charles‘ gambling addiction be related to Audrey?
“Mom, do you know where she is now?” Nathan asked Carol.
Nathan knew that once someone got hooked on gambling, they were in big trouble.
