After saying that, Carl hung up, leaving Gabriella with her chaotic thoughts.
Those three days were the most arduous days in Gabriella's life.
Throughout the three days, not only did she consider Carl's proposition carefully, but she also paid close attention to the changes in the Ward family's financial situation.
On the fourth day, the financial capability of the Ward family had already fallen to its lowest point in history.
Although Landon was doing his best to persevere, she couldn't see the slightest ray of hope.
If this continues, bankruptcy is only a matter of
time.
Recalling Carl's words, her defenses slowly collapsed.
She really couldn't think of a better way to save the Ward family and herself. The only method was the one he proposed.
Three days passed in the blink of an eye. While she was still struggling inwardly, she was gradually inclined toward Carl's proposition.
In the end, she decided to seek Carl out.
No matter what, I can just go and see what he says. If I don't agree, I can just turn around and leave without getting myself involved in the mess.
As that thought occurred to her, she finally stopped hesitating and drove to the location he sent her.
In other words, it was the aforementioned restaurant.
Carl wore an expectant smile on his face as though having known that Gabriella would definitely come.
“You're here, Gabriella? What would you like to eat?” he inquired gentlemanly.
“I've got no appetite,” Gabriella answered bluntly.
All the while, her eyes were fixed intently on him.
“Oh well, I'll just eat by myself, then.
As Carl said that, he picked up the fork and knife on the table before eating his steak unhurriedly.
