Chapter 184
“I don’t care! Right now, Charles‘ mess is tied to Nathan! If Nathan had put a stop to Charles‘ nonsense when he first started causing trouble, maybe he wouldn’t have screwed up so badly this time!
“Nathan spoiled Charles into what he is now. Now that Charles has caused a major disaster, Nathan wants to abandoned our family. This is unacceptable!”
Amelia was stunned by Michelle’s twisted logic. “Nathan has always helped Charles out of consideration for me. How could he be in the wrong for helping Charles?”
Seeing Amelia getting angry, Michelle quickly held her hand.
“Amelia, talk to Nathan again. Norman still hasn’t woken up. If he wakes and realizes that the partnership with Evergreen Biotech no longer involves the Murray Group, and that Zenith Pharmaceuticals is utilizing our factory and the expensive machinery we purchased, won’t he be livid?”
Amelia refused to budge. “Mrs. Murray, let Zenith Pharmaceuticals into the factory. There’s still time! If the Franklin Group collapses, the Murray family will go bankrupt too. It’ll be too late then!”
Amelia felt helpless.
Ultimately, the Murray Group belonged to Norman’s family. Amelia could only make suggestions but not decisions beyond Michelle’s authority.
Before Michelle could say anything, Amelia’s phone rang.
Seeing it was a call from Nathan, Amelia answered it outside the ward.
“Hello, Nathan. Don’t worry, I’m still trying to persuade Mrs. Murray.” Amelia’s tears welled up in her
eyes.
“Sweetie, I’ve done my best for Murray Group over the years.” Nathan’s voice sounded
weary.
“You don’t need to persuade Mrs. Murray anymore. I’ll talk to Zenith Pharmaceuticals again. We won’t use Murray Group’s machinery and premises.
“But Sweetie, if Murray Group can’t deliver the goods by the end of the month, I will have to act according to the contract. I hope you won’t blame me then.”
Amelia clenched her fists tightly.
“I’m
sorry,
Nathan. It’s all Charles‘ fault! I know you’ve done everything you could to assist the Murray family despite their greed. I won’t hold you responsible. Do what you
need to do.”
After hanging up the phone, Amelia leaned against the wall and wiped away her tears.
Michelle came out from the ward, her eyes fixed on Amelia. “How did it go? Did Nathan agree to inject capital into the Murray Group?”
Amelia looked up at her aunt, who was looking at her anxiously.
“Franklin Group has come up with another solution. If Murray Group can’t deliver the goods by the end of the month, Nathan will act according to the contract.”
“H–how could this be!” Michelle’s legs went weak as she leaned against the door frame.
“He could help solve the problem for the Murray Group as long as he injects capital! Why is Nathan so unwilling!”
“Mrs. Murray, please. If Franklin Group had enough liquidity to begin with, why would they let Murray Group have a share when cooperating with Evergreen Biotech?”
Amelia felt a heavy weight in her chest. “Initially, by letting Zenith Pharmaceuticals enter, even if we couldn’t get a share, at least Nathan wouldn’t be too hard on the Murray Group for my sake!
“But you
insist on holding onto your pride, and it’s hurting Nathan. Do you think he’ll let the Murray Group off?”
“Don’t you think Franklin Group might just be bluffing us?” Michelle seemed to have an idea, looking determined.
“Just like you said, if Franklin Group could handle the order from Evergreen Biotech, why would they give the Murray Group a share? Nathan is trying to scare me into loosening up and agreeing to let Zenith Pharmaceuticals enter!”
“Mrs. Murray!” Amelia was on the verge of crying.
“Call Nathan and plead with him–even cry if you have to. You need to convince Nathan to inject capital quickly!” Michelle grabbed her hand.
Amelia pushed away Michelle’s hand.
“Mrs. Murray, I won’t plead with Nathan anymore. If you believe Nathan is simply trying
Chapter 184
to intimidate you, then stand firm on not allowing Zenith Pharmaceuticals to enter.
“I’ll cover all of Mr. Murray’s medical expenses, but beyond that… I’ve already done everything I can for the Murray family.”
With that, Amelia walked away.
