Chapter 1207: Behind the surge of dark clouds Chapter 1207: Behind the surge of dark clouds Elder Lady Collins arrived at the Thomas Family’s ho when all the working mbers had already gone to their jobs, leaving behind only so won who didn’t need to work and the children.
Olivia Collins welcod her mother and noticed that Elder Lady Collins’s complexion had worsened since the day she saw her last.
“Mom, there are so things you shouldn’t worry too much about. Just take good care of yourself; health is more important than anything else,” Olivia Collins said, holding Elder Lady Collins’s hand.
Elder Lady Collins ca today, and naturally, Olivia knew why.
In the living room, besides Olivia Collins and Elder Lady Collins, there was also Rosalind Collins, who had recently married into the Thomas family.
“Grandma, have so fruit,” Rosalind said, placing the cut fruit on a toothpick before handing it to Elder Lady Collins.
Elder Lady Collins smiled as she took it and tasted a piece but didn’t ask for more.
Looking at Rosalind, she asked with concern, “Charlotte, are you getting used to it here?”
“Everything is fine here with Auntie,” Rosalind replied, then added, “Madam treats very well.”
Many tis, Rosalind still preferred to call her Auntie.
“As long as you are well, that’s what matters. After all, as a daughter of the Collins Family, you should live well; it eases half of this old woman’s worries,” said Elder Lady Collins, before bringing up recent events, “But this other half of my heart is still uneasy. So many things have happened to the Collins Family recently, and the culprit behind the scenes has yet to show themselves. We’ve been investigating for so long without any leads, and it’s making anxious.”
“Mom, don’t get too frustrated. Louis Clark is also helping to investigate,” Olivia Collins offered reassuringly.
Being a newcor to the business affairs, Rosalind didn’t know how to intervene, so she stood quietly to the side, listening.
“Mom, I know you’re here because you’re aware of my intentions. I won’t beat around the bush; Parker says the company’s situation is not ideal right now, and we’re facing financial issues. The banks can’t lend us much, and when the ti cos, we’re naturally hoping that Louis would help us get through to the banks,” Elder Lady Collins said. What she ant by “get through to the banks” was essentially to provide a guarantee—a significant risk, since if the Collins Family went bankrupt, the problem would largely beco the Thomas Family’s.
Faced with such a high-risk situation, Olivia Collins couldn’t make a rash decision and responded, “Mom, I need to discuss this with Louis and see what he thinks. Moreover, the Collins Family hasn’t reached that point yet; we can still plan when it cos to that.”
A daughter who marries out naturally starts to protect her husband’s family in her heart.
“I’m just giving you a preventive needle in advance. In the world of business, things can happen all of a sudden, so you need to find an opportunity to talk it over with Louis. No matter what, the Collins Family must be saved,” Elder Lady Collins spoke with earnestness, “As long as the Collins Family is doing well, your life will be better as well.”
“I understand, and I will discuss it with Louis,” Olivia Collins said.
As for herself, Olivia Collins had her own considerations. Knowing Louis Clark’s character, he might not agree to take such a guarantee, but she couldn’t say no outright. Otherwise, with Elder Lady Collins’s temperant, she would probably fall apart.
Imdiately after, Elder Lady Collins said, “Charlotte, your Auntie and I need to talk about sothing else. Why don’t you go outside for a while?”
Rosalind was curious about what they needed to discuss that required her absence, but when Elder Lady Collins spoke, she had no choice but to comply…
