“You!”

Nathan gritted his teeth. “It’s not as simple as you think! Who told you that just giving the project some money would make it profitable again? If it were that easy, the Holt family would’ve already gotten the money they needed–why would they be coming to you?”

Naomi wasn’t listening to anything. All she wanted was to graduate and become a rich housewife.

Evelyn, hearing Naomi’s reasoning, actually thought it made sense.

The Holt family’s only problem was a lack of funds. Once they had capital again, everything should return to normal.

And really, what’s the big deal about helping someone who’s already successful?

Giving help in someone’s darkest hour is what truly earns gratitude.

“Honey, Naomi does have a point.”

Evelyn had always wanted her daughter to marry rich. She had watched Zayden grow up.

She had always supported the idea of the two of them being together.

If it weren’t for Zayden’s past engagement to Eliza, she would have been thrilled to marry her daughter into the Holt family.

Now Naomi had lost her chance to study abroad, her grades weren’t improving, and going overseas to attend some average college didn’t seem worth it. It’d be better to find a rich man and settle down.

Nathan couldn’t believe Evelyn was being this foolish. His face darkened.

“Anyway, I don’t agree. Don’t even think about it!”

With that, Nathan stormed upstairs.

After he left, Evelyn took Naomi’s hand and said, “Naomi, I think you’re right! If you really want to help Zayden, then go ahead and help. Our family’s not short on money. Your dad is just being stingy! So what if we lend out a few dozen million? When the Holt family gets back on their feet, they’ll give us even more in

return.”

With her mother’s support, Naomi was even more convinced she was doing the right thing.

To her, her father just didn’t want to spend the money and was going to ruin his daughter’s future happiness over it.

That evening.

Naomi went to the Holt family’s house with Evelyn.

Grace had prepared a large, luxurious meal. Zayden was also there.

But this Zayden was different from before–he took the initiative to serve Naomi food, and his every movement was gentle and thoughtful.

Just like how he used to treat Naomi–with care and attentiveness.

Naomi blushed.

Seeing this, Grace got straight to the point. “The flu has gotten really serious. It’s been three or four months now with no sign of letting up. The Holt Group is in a bit of trouble, and we’re having issues with cash flow…”

At that point, Evelyn already knew what was coming next.

She pretended to be generous. “You’re being too polite. We’re all going to be family soon. If you’re short on money, just tell us. I’ll talk to my husband–we’ll definitely invest.”

Grace’s face lit up with joy.

She hadn’t expected things to go this smoothly.

“Oh… I really don’t know how to thank you enough.”

“What’s there to thank? Just say how much you need.”

“Well… around eighty million.”

When Evelyn heard the number–eighty million–her heart did ache a little.

But when she thought about how the Holt family’s value was hundreds of times greater than theirs, she figured sacrificing eighty million for future wealth and status wasn’t such a bad trade. So she agreed in one breath.

“Alright! It’s difficult, but we’ll find a way to get the money to you.”

Grace said, “I really don’t know how to thank you… But this eighty million would need to come in as an investment. I’m afraid Mr. Nathan won’t agree to that.”

Evelyn had never understood what an investment actually meant. She just agreed right away.

“No problem. I make the decisions in this family! If I tell him to invest, he’ll have to agree.”

Only then did Grace breathe a sigh of relief.

Meanwhile-

Eliza had just come back from the warehouse and was casually scrolling through her phone when she saw Evelyn’s social media post.

In the photo, Naomi, Evelyn, Zayden, and Grace were all dining together and raising their glasses, smiling brightly.
