After Divorcing my Captain Husband (Chloe and Michael)

Admas' words were very harsh, almost directly telling Victoria not to have those thoughts.

Victoria felt bad and tried to defend herself. But before she could say a word, Admas turned and walked away with the watering can. "I'm tired. Go back if you don't have anything else to do."

He was exhausted just looking at her, and he wanted to live a few more years.

Victoria looked gloomy and eventually had to leave.

She thought, "I didn't settle the millions of dollars I owe, and Admas wouldn't even agree to me about Michael remarrying. How annoying!" Victoria left. Simeon went to give Admas a shoulder massage.

"Are you trying to say I went too far this time?"

At that, Simeon hesitated for a moment. "Sir Shawn, you naturally have your own ideas. Even though you're all family, what she did this time did go a bit too far." Admas nodded slowly with his eyes closed, thinking, "Yes, we are family after all."

Victoria realized that she couldn't persuade Admas and had to ask Cathy to get to Michael.

But they only now learned that Michael had been out of the office all this time, traveling on business.

"You give him a call. He's your brother. He can't really leave us alone."

Cathy was a little reluctant. Everyone knew that Michael didn't have much affection for them. She was naturally reluctant to beg him.

"Mom, we can get millions of dollars. We can fill it up ourselves."

Cathy hadn't even realized the seriousness of the matter until now.

A few million dollars didn't matter. By offending Zooey, Victoria would probably be targeted for any other business she did in the future. Victoria thought, "If I don't keep some money, are we going to beg?"

"Hurry up and call him. Why are you talking such a lot of nonsense?"

Cathy saw Victoria's insistence and could only dial Michael's number, but she was still reluctant.

The phone rang for a long time without answering. Cathy turned to Victoria and said, "He's not answering."

"Go on, then. Do I have to teach you this?"

Victoria thought she was really unlucky, thinking, "I can't rely on my husband, and now I can't even rely on my only daughter!

What did I do in my past life?"

Mamaica had a time difference from home. Michael saw the phone call Cathy made but didn't have the slightest intention of answering it.

His cell phone was on the table, so Chloe saw it. She glanced at the caller ID. Seeing that it was Cathy, she didn't care much.

Cathy stopped calling. Not a moment later, Michael's phone received a text message.

It came from Ethan at home. [Mr. Shawn, Ms. Campbell has started targeting Shawn Heavy Industries. Kranton Bank has stopped all funding.] Chloe couldn't help but frown when she saw this.

Before she could think much about it, Michael took the phone.Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

Michael wasn't mad at her for looking at his phone. He was nervous when he saw the text message.

"There's really nothing between me and Lucy!"

He was afraid that Chloe would misunderstand again, so he hastened to explain.

But Chloe wasn't even thinking about what was going on between him and Lucy. "What's with the text message? Did Kranton Bank stop funding Shawn Heavy Industries?" Chloe didn't know what this had to do with Lucy.

Michael had really been a little anxious about this for the past few days. He had gone to Admas earlier, and Admas had agreed to lend him the money to get Shawn Heavy Industries stabilized first. But Kranton Bank canceled the partnership. He still needed to find another bank for a new collaboration.

A new collaboration might seem simple, but there were a lot of things that needed to be negotiated. It was difficult for both parties to try to work together without a foundation of trust.

Michael really hadn't expected Abel to actually give Lucy the authority over Kranton Bank.
