Chapter 8 Uncle Borrowing Money
Amberley was certain she could handle Devlin, a man whose words didn’t match his heart. She wondered if he would still remain so composed when he found out they would be sharing a room for the night. After a flurry of activity, Amberley had moved all of Devlin’s clothes and toiletries into her own room. Devlin’s room was now only left with his books and computer. She thought it would be a good idea to use this room as their study in the future. Upon seeing the emptied wardrobe, Devlin didn’t dare to ask anything at all. After Amberley had finished moving, she returned to her room to tidy up her belongings. She had so many things that she needed to make some space for Devlin to place his personal items. She sorted out all the clothes she no longer wore from her walk-in closet, getting ready to list them for sale on a second-hand marketplace. After she had cleared out a wall, she methodically hung up all of Devlin’s clothes one by one. Upon seeing this, Amberley instantly felt it was utterly perfect. The room now looked just like how a newlywed couple’s room should be. Amberley had sorted out her books and less frequently used items, then moved them into Devlin’s room. Devlin watched as Amberley moved her belongings in, silently realizing that Amberley was indeed planning to occupy his room. Devlin felt an overwhelming sadness envelop him. Was it also not allowed to live next door to Amberley? If he had known better, he would have held his tongue, rather than upsetting Amberley. After lunch, Amberley carried a lunch box to deliver food to her father. She intended to tell her father about Igor’s situation in person. As soon as Amberley entered the office, she heard her father’s booming voice. “I told you not to take on this project from the very beginning, but you wouldn’t listen. Now you realize we’re short on funds. I don’t have that much available cash at the time. You were really pushing me into a corner!” “Florian, you can’t just abandon me! With my sister gone, you’re the only family I have left. If you don’t help me and when the debt collectors come, wouldn’t that be like pushing me off a ledge?” Upon hearing her uncle, Lucas Fallon, pleading desperately with her father, Amberley was reminded of his predicament. Her uncle had taken on a project and the funding had fallen through, leaving him in dire need of a substantial amount of money to keep things running. She remembered back then that her father had refused to help, citing insufficient funds as the reason. In the end, her uncle found her, claiming that her father had deliberately refused to lend him money, forgetting their past bond. He complained that her father’s favoritism had shifted entirely toward Yvette and her family. He even suggested that she should threaten her father with her life so that her father would pay off her uncle’s debts. She really did it, naively as she was, forcing her father to sell off a highly profitable venture of Tausend Group. It was only then that her uncle was able to overcome his difficulties. However, this led to a significant decline in the performance of Tausend Group later on. The shareholders were all dissatisfied and wanted to replace her father. During that period, Florian was so swamped with work that he was all over the place. He even collapsed at the office due to exhaustion. With the financial aid provided by her father, her uncle’s family was able to complete their project. They made a fortune, established Fallon Group, and successfully entered the upper echelons of the business world. Looking back, Amberley realized how foolish she had been, manipulated like a pawn in someone else’s game. Whenever her uncle’s family needed her, they would bring up her mother to play the emotional card. However, when they didn’t need her, they would push her aside without a second thought. She remembered when Florian fell ill, and she sought her uncle’s assistance, he had claimed to be too poor to help, even shedding tears. Unbeknownst to her, she had truly believed in her own foolishness. Little did she know that the reason why Fallon Group had surpassed Tausend Group was by continuously leeching off Tausend Group’s resources. In this life, she would never again grant her uncle such an opportunity. His family, ungrateful and insatiable as they were, were best suited to remain at the bottom, begging for mercy from others. Otherwise, when he gained success, he would expose his true beastly nature, disregarding even his closest kin. Amberley purposely stepped out, only entering Florian’s office after her uncle had left. “Ah…” After his brother-in-law left, Florian couldn’t help but let out a resigned sigh. He felt that he had done more than enough for his brother-in-law’s family. It was he who had raised the funds to establish Lucas’ company, and he had even entrusted some of his own corporation’s affairs to them. In principle, the money they earned should have been more than enough to cover their family’s daily expenses. Despite his advice against it, his young brother-in-law, in his audacity, had taken on projects worth billions. He had warned Lucas not to, but the man simply wouldn’t listen. To put it plainly, he wanted to use Florian money to turn a profit. But how could Florian have so much liquid capital for a project worth billions? His company also needed to operate. If it wasn’t for the close relationship Lucas had with Amberley, he would have washed his hands off Lucas a long time ago. Lucas’ ambitions were too great, always trying to gain something for nothing. The crux of the matter was that Florian was no cash cow. He simply couldn’t withstand Lucas’ incessant borrowing of money every few days. “Dad, why are you sighing like that?” Feigning ignorance, Amberley walked in while carrying the lunch box. “Oh, you’re here, Amberley. What brings you to see me all of a sudden?” Sweeping away his previous gloom, Florian chuckled cheerfully. Amberley placed the lunchbox on the table and said, “I know you haven’t been eating properly, so I brought you some food.” Florian felt a sudden jolt in his heart as he watched his daughter unexpectedly bring him food. She secretly hoped that Lucas hadn’t sought out Amberley in advance, intending to have his daughter act as his mediator. “Dad, why are you staring at me like that? Come on, eat!” Amberley said, puzzled as she noticed her father’s serious gaze fixed on her. Florian put down his fork. He certainly wasn’t going to be swayed by his daughter’s sugar-coated trap. Borrowing billions wasn’t as easy as simply asking for it. This time, he was truly willing but powerless. “Amberley, why did you suddenly bring food for me? Did Uncle Lucas say something to you?” Florian tentatively asked. Only then did Amberley realize that her father had misunderstood, thinking she was going to speak on behalf of her uncle. Having been through a similar ordeal once, how could she make the same mistake again? She feigned ignorance and said, “What… Uncle Lucas’s looking for me? I have no idea. Why didn’t he call me?” “Oh, that’s good, then. I’m quite hungry. Let’s see what delicious treats you’ve brought for me.” Only then did Florian let his guard down, quickly changing the subject. He didn’t want his daughter to worry about the company affairs. Perhaps, he was overly concerned. Lucas would never exploit Amberley. After all, Amberley was the only daughter of his late elder sister. “Dad, I’ve discovered a rare talent for the company.” Amberley enthusiastically introduced Igor to her father, knowing that the future development of Tausend Group was at stake. As for Jolliffe Group and Fallon Group, well, they would be playing second fiddle in the future. “All right. Since you think so highly of him. I’ll have him brought in. If he’s truly talented, he’ll surely shine.” Florian gave his daughter some face by selling her this idea. As for whether this person was as capable as Amberley claimed, his future performance would be the proof. The promotion system within Tausend Group was fairly transparent and equitable. His position within the company would ultimately depend on his abilities.
