Nina wanted to cry but had no tears. "We don't have a single cent on us.”
The crowd fell silent. At this moment, Dazaray said, " You can borrow some money from Wanda. The Fredericks have nothing but money. Since she’s so close to Mr. Fredericks, it doesn't matter if she borrows some money from him."

I helplessly sighed, then looked at Jordan who was making a call in the distance. I handed my bag to Shannon and said, “Alright, TH go and borrow some. Wait for me here."
"You're the best, Wanda!" Shannon said cheerfully.
