With this regard, Holden, who was Yashita's father and the head of the Harker family, appeared to look a little reluctant as he said, "Yashita, your eldest brother came and spoke to me during these past few days when you went to the southeast coast."
Yashita hurriedly asked, "Dad, what did my eldest brother talk to you about?"
Holden sighed as he said, "To find Rosalie, the Harker family has sent out most of our manpower, and the various expenses that we have incurred during this time have amounted to one hundred to two hundred million dollars. However, there is still no news at all. W e can forget the fact that we are delaying the children's training, but since the Harker family has already fallen out with the Schulz family, we have lost our source of income. If we are to continue looking for Rosalie, our economic and financial gap will continue increasing." 6
As he spoke, Holden said helplessly, "The medicinal materials and herbs that we need for the children's training amounts to three to five million dollars a month. Besides, there are so many of us, and there are so many people that we have to sustain. So, our cost of living is even higher. Although I really want to find Rosalie too, if we were to continue looking for her like
this, there is no way that I would be able to justify and explain this to everyone else as the head of the family!"
Yashita lowered her head slightly.
She also knew deep down in her heart that it would be impossible for the Harker family to continue investing so much money just to look for their granddaughter, Rosalie.
After all, to begin with, the Harker family was not extremely wealthy or noble. Moreover, their daily expenses were very huge. Yashita already felt very guilty because the Harker family had spent a huge sum of money just to look for Rosalie some time ago. Although she felt very sorry for her daughter and wanted to find her as soon as possible, she really could not bear to pull the Harker family down any longer. 7
Therefore, she told Holden, "Dad, I understand what you're saying. Why don't I go and look for her on my own, then?"
Holden said emotionally, "If you were to go and look for her on your own, it would only be so that you would be able to gain some psychological comfort at best. You should also know that finding someone is just like finding a needle in a haystack. We have already hired so many people and ships which cost us more than tens of millions of dollars a day, but we could not find any clues at all. So, what use would it b e if you were to go and look for her on your own, then?"
Yashita instantly fell silent.
