Chapter 41
Besides, now that Blake had recovered, he’d definitely return to the Yates family
The Yates family was the top family in Andenfall. In comparison, the Clyde family was nothing
The thought of label marrying into the Yates family made Amelia feel sick.
She thought, I’ve lost a wonderful opportunity again. Compared to Hilake, Liam is such a good–for–nothing. This is so unfair.
The more she thought about it, the angrier and more desperate she felt.
“Amelia, why aren’t you in your room? You haven’t recovered yet. Rosy came over. Seeing the devastated look on Amelia’s face, she was very
worried.
Back in the room, Rosy asked her again
Amelia said. “Mom 1… un label earlier
Rosy was unhappy. Why did you bring her up? You’re my daughter
Shaking her head. Amelia said, “Mom, that’s not what I meant. I want to tell you that her fiance, Blake, has recovered. I mean he’s recovered totally”
“Are you sure?” Rosy was stunned
“Yes. A hundred percent. I don’t get it. It’s only been half a year. How did he stand up? Mom, if we hadn’t switched my fiance with Isabel’s. I should have been with Blake now. I wouldn’t have met that bastard Lism,” Amelia said, about to cry.
She suddenly felt like her things had been stolen. A sense of loss overwhelmed her
“Yeah, you’re right. It would have been great if we hadn’t done that… No matter what, Blake is part of the Yates family
“If we had taken this opportunity to get in touch with the Yates, we wouldn’t have been picked on by the swansons… Rosy murmured.
But it was all too late.
Just then, Rosy’s phone suddenly rang
“Mom, had news. It’s about Maxwell. He borrowed from a loan shark, and now the creditors are at the door, Dad isa’t back yet. Come back! They’re so scary” It was Ethan
Rosy was shocked and terrified, thinking. How come Maxwell gets involved with a loan shark? We’ve always given him whatever he wants
“Mom, what happened?” Amelia asked
“Marwell borrowed from a loan shark and got into trouble. I have to go back now she answered.
Then the rushed back home only to see a group of bodyguards in black in the house
With knives, they were indeed intimidating.
“Maxwell’s mom, are you! He owes us money. Pay back the leader said to Rosy
“Who are you?” she asked.
“We are from Celestial Clan. He borrowed money from Mr. Preston, and the deadline is up. We’re here to collect the debt, the man pressed. Maxwell hurried over and hugged Rosy’s thigh, pleading, “Moin, help! Please, you’ve got to help me. They say if I don’t pay back the money today, I lose my arm
Suppressing her anger, Rosy asked the man, trying to be composed. How much does Maxwell owe you?”
He said flady, ‘150 million dollars with interest”
“What?” Rosy was shocker.
She thought, “Seriously? 150 million dollars! We’ve just collected the 100 million dollars Lucian was cheated out of, and now we’ve got to pay 150 million dollars for Maxwell?

Furious, she slapped Maxwell in the face, saying sternly, “Brat! You’ve gone gambling again, haven’t you?”
She was Maxwell’s mother, and she knew him well. He was addicted to gambling
But he had always done it for fun and had never invested much, so she didn’t pay much attention to it.
Yet at some point, he actually started to borrow from a loan shark
Maxwell begged, “Mom, I know I was wrong. Mom, please! Fin your son. You have to help me. I borrowed 30 million dollars, and it’s just been a few days. Yet now, they want me to give them 150 million dollars. This is a rip–off!!
Hearing this, the man in the lead said. “Mr. Clyde, this is fair. You read the contract, and it was you who begged Mr. Preston to lend you the money. Yet you’re denying it now?”
“Fine. Give me three days. We’ll pay you back” Rosy said weakly.
She knew how loan sharks worked. Maxwell mist have been tricked..
“Three days! No, Mrs. Clyde. He has three days already, and we can’t accept another three days. Besides, given the interest, you’ll have to pay us 300 million dollars after three days Are you sure about this?” the man said.
ve gone too far. Do you think we’ll accept the terms just like this?” Rosy was furious
“You you’ve gone too
I don’t care. Now that you owe Mr. Preston, you have to pay him back,” the man sneered.
Finally, Rosy compromised “One day. Just give me one more day
Only then did the bodyguards leave.
In the evening. Calus returned home, and the whole family was discussing what to do.
Maxwell, what were you thinking? How could you borrow from a loan shark?” Calus had a headache coming on
He had been dealing with things coming up at the company recently, and now this?
Ever since Isabel left, they hadn’t had a moment of peace.
“Dad, Mom. I was thinking about the money Lucian was cheated out of. I wanted to win some money to relieve your burden, but… 1 was on a whim again. Maxwell said with his head down
“Don’t blame Maxwell. He did at for the family. He must have been deceived.” Amelia spoke for Maxwell, trying to win his favor.
She came back from the hospital when she learned something had happened at home.
Rosy looked at Amelia: “Amelia, I’m afraid we don’t have this kind of money right now. Can you sell your jewelry and help us our? Let’s get through this first”
Amelia said nothing because she was very reluctant.
She thought. You want to take my jewelry? You might as well kill me. I’ve got to sleep www.welry every night otherwise I can’t sleep at all. No.
one can get them away”
But she dared not disagree when she met the eyes of her parents and brothers.
She muttered, “I… Of course, I can. But they aren’t worth 150 million dollars. Even if I sell them all, we still don’t have enough money”
Everyone sighed again.
Suddenly, Caius slammed the table angrily and snapped, “Let’s call the police! Lalare those hired thugs to do anything to us. Usury is not protected by law
“No, don’t do that. Dad, you know Mr. Preston. He w
won’t let me off” Maxwell panicked.
“Right now, our only option is to borrow money. But we’ve already borrowed a lot of money last time.
“Now those relatives and friends avoid us when they see us. I’m afraid we can’t borrow any more. I’m afraid we have to sell the company,” said Rosy,
Everyone was shocked–if they sold the company, the Clyde Group would be history, and the Clyde family… would be ruined.

“No way Dean’t let the Clyde family fall into ruin in my hands. No fucking way!‘ Caius roared.
Then he got up and left.
They discussed in all night but still couldn’t come up with a solution.
The next day. Rosy tried to raise the money. Yet after trying a lot of things, she still couldn’t come up with 150 million dollars
Maxwell dared not go out, fearing he’d lose his arm.
He stayed at home, too worried to eat. Seeing this, Rosy comforted him, “Calm down. Didn’t you hear Caius? They won’t dare to come here and do anything to you.
“Besides. I’ve got all the bodyguards at home. No one
e can barge in. Just stay at home, and everything will be fine”
Maxwell regretted it deeply. Hugging Rosy, he swore that he’d never gamble again.
