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?”

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
