Chapter 30 Finding a Solution

Meanwhile, at the Spencer’s residence, Melanie was on a conference call. After hanging up, she looked hopefully at her mother and said excitedly. “Mom, Stephanie said she will help us. Does this mean we won’t go bankrupt?”

Melanie’s mother, Emily Shaw, frowned, still feeling a bit worried.

She had encountered all types of people in her social circle. She always feels that the gentle and considerate best friend her daughter talks about is not a simple person.

If someone genuinely wanted to help their friends, their initial reaction upon hearing the news would be to urgently grasp the situation or try to help in any way possible. No matter which it is, there would definitely be emotional fluctuations. However, this girl was unusually quiet.

“Melanie, call her again and ask her if she is aware of our family’s situation. Don’t be too direct, just try to gather information indirectly,” Emily advised.

Melanie hesitated upon hearing her mother’s suggestion. “Mom, Stephanie and I are very close. Since she promised to help us, she will definitely help us. There’s no need to ask again. I trust her.”

Just then, her phone buzzed with an audio message from an unknown number.

She was about to delete it, but Emily intervened. “Open it and listen.”

Melanie mumbled, “Isn’t this a prank?” However, seeing Emily’s serious expression, she obediently opened the message.

In an instant, the clear conversation filled the quiet living room.
