Chapter 28 Seeking Help from Milly

Melanie’s heart skipped a beat. After a while, a wave of panic washed over her.

Her intuition told her that something significant had occurred to her family. Something beyond her control.

She looked at her mother, who was standing silently, weeping. Suppressing her inner fear, she asked with a trembling voice, “Mom, what’s happening? Please don’t scare me. What’s going on?”

Emily looked at Melanie with a heavy heart and sobbed. “Melanie, our family’s company… has gone bankrupt.”

Melanie felt as though the ground had crumbled beneath her feet. The news seems surreal.

eyes widened in disbelief and fear as she shook her head, muttering, “No, this can’t be happening. Everything seemed fine earlier. Dad even mentioned a major project that could significantly boost our company’s revenue this year…

Her face paled. She desperately clutched her mother’s sleeve, hoping it was all a lie. “Mom, are you serious? Is this because you didn’t want to buy me that new bag? I don’t need it, I swear. Please, tell me this isn’t true.”

Tears welled in Emily’s eyes; her once composed demeanour was shattered. She looked at Melanie with pity and helplessness, “Melaniec, when will you grow up?”

Melanie covered her ears and yelled hysterically, refusing to accept the harsh reality.

Her voice quivered as she exclaimed, “I refuse to believe it. How could we go bankrupt? You’re lying to me! Yes! You’re lying!”

Fearing her daughter’s reaction, Emily embraced her. “Melanie, calm down. There might be a way out of
