Korbin had a small factory with mediocre performance, and it so happened that he made a loss when his wife was gravely ill. It was Zane who saved the Johansson Family. His phone call this time was none other than to have Stella ask Zane for a loan of 300,000. “But Dad, can’t you take out a loan?” Stella stared at Zane who was still foaming at the mouth.

“It’s difficult to get a loan since it requires a good credit score. How am I going to get a loan when I don’t have anything? Besides, 300,000 is not a huge sum for Zane, but I’m in urgent need of the money to pay my employees. Applying for a loan will take a few months,” Korbin said to her.

I’m sorry, President Grant. I shouldn’t have brought my emotions to work.” She wiped her tears. Zane had already drawn a clear line with her when it came to finances, so it was impossible to obtain a loan from him. However, she herself
