Chapter 163
Helen was very busy over the last few days, but as the construction for the West City
project started, her funds were quickly drained.
Closing the file on her desk, she strode to her mother’s room.
Knock, knock…
“What?” Gina asked from inside.
Helen entered to find Gina’s clothes disheveled, still clearly groggy as she pushed herself
up.
“Have you been seeing Greg lately?” Helen asked.
She knew what was going on between her mother and Greg but chose to be quiet since it
was Gina’s right.
However, even if she was not at ease to interfere, Greg was visiting her mother a lot less

Gina looked tired as she said, “Oh, he’s busy lately so he doesn’t have time. His business
is booming at the moment, you know.”
Helen frowned. “Didn’t his company go public? Ask him to pay us back–our company
needs the money urgently.”
“We just lent it to him,” Gina said awkwardly. “It isn’t nice to ask for it back so soon…”
“But he said he could pay us back once his company goes public, didn’t he?” Helen
pointed out bluntly. “And it’s been a while since you’ve been in touch. You could use the
chance to meet up and tell him properly.”
“Oh, don’t worry–I know Greg,” Gina said nonchalantly.
Helen, however, was insistent. “You should just call and ask, Mom.”
Gina could not argue and growled impatiently, “Fine, I’ll call him, alright?”
He whipped out his phone to call Greg–the dialing tone was set as her favorite song back
in high school, and Gina was engrossed even as she listened.
Greg really knew what she liked…
However, the song eventually finished playing, but Greg never answered.
Gina was puzzled–he would always answer immediately before this.
Beside her, Helen took a deep breath, feeling a foreboding sensation just then.
Still, Gina preserved. “He might be busy. I’ll leave a voicemail –he’ll reply when he sees it.”
Once she did so, the status of her message immediately went red.
“H–How is this happening?” Gina murmured in disbelief.
Greg had blocked her?!
Helen was left wobbling as her head suddenly felt light.

It was over–they were not getting their twenty million back.
“H–How did this happen?” Gina’s eyes were welling up with tears like a teenage girl who
was just dumped.
“Forget it.” Helen sighed exasperatedly.
She knew this would happen, but considering that Greg treated her face, she could just
pretend the two million was her medical fees.
Gina was left stuttering, unable to speak when the housekeeper rushed into the room,
exclaiming in shock, “I’m sorry, Ms. Lane, but a bunch of people have barged in and
demanded that we pay our debt!”
“Pay our debt?!” Helen exclaimed in shock and hurried outside.
When she arrived at the drawing room, she found a bunch of thugs sitting there, and they
were all armed!
