Second Marriage to Mr. Rich
Chapter 189

"Please, Ingrid!" Carmen said while tugging Ingrid's hand. "Your uncle is still in the hospital undergoing surgery. I know Tommy had botched things up this time, but... the money is gone now, thanks to this idiot. "Could you call Mr. Fletcher and see if he has any idea how to escape this sticky situation?"

Ingrid bit her lips. She thought she could use this opportunity to contribute to Fletcher Corporation so the Fletchers would view the Yates in a new light. After all, Sherryn had always looked down on Ingrid and the Yates family, believing they only brought trouble to Ned.

However, Ingrid never expected that they somehow managed to cause trouble to Ned. If Sherryn found out about this, she would be more disappointed in her.

"Please, Ingrid. Just call Ned. It's the only way we can get out of this! I'm begging you," Tommy pleaded and raised his right hand. "I swear that I'm never going to gamble again! I promise! So please, Ingrid, save our family!"

Seeing Tommy beg this persistently, Ingrid had no choice but to nod. "L-Let me check how much money I have left first, then I'll call Ned."

Since what was done couldn't be undone, Ingrid would have to let Ned know eventually. The important thing was to think of a way to salvage this.

After checking her bank account, Ingrid asked Linda if she could get advance payment for her upcoming endorsements, movies, and shows.

Linda got mad when she found out Ingrid was asking money for the Yates family. "Ingie, didn't you learn from your mistake? The Yates family isn't your family. Why do you care so much about them? Didn't you give them all your savings last time you helped them?"

"I grew up with the Yates family. I'm obligated to help them!" Ingrid said. "Please, Ms. Davis. All you have to do is ask them for me, please."

"That's going to make you sound so low!" Linda exclaimed. "Besides, if I do ask them, what would the people. from the film and brand think if they know you're short of money? They'll probably think something happened to you, like if you've gambled all your money or someone is blackmailing you.

"Ingie, do you know what the people from the brand and film industry are afraid of? Tainted celebrities! Who knows if they're going to swap you out? You're playing with fire with your future, Ingie!"

Seeing how determined Linda was in opposing her request, Ingrid sold some of her stocks to raise more money. But all she could raise was less than ten million dollars.

Ingrid had no choice but to ask Ned for help. She called him and explained that Tommy had embezzled the company fund for gambling.

Anger quickly rose to Ned's head. He walked toward the floor-to-ceiling window and leaned against it to maintain his composure.

"Is it enough to manufacture the batch of medicine with the Yates Group's current working capital?" Ned asked while massaging his temples.

Tears of guilt flooded Ingrid's eyes as she said, "I've asked them earlier. It's not going to be enough. I've sold all my stocks, and I'll try to attend more events. I should get 15 million dollars in a week.

"I'm sorry, Ned. I didn't know Tommy would cause so much trouble to you."

Ned straightened up and covered his face with his hand. He couldn't hold his anger and shouted, "Do Tommy not know that both of our companies had signed the contract? The Yates family will go bankrupt if we can't manufacture the promised medicine by the deadline

"I'm sorry, Ned!" Ingrid cried. "It's all my fault. I don't care what will happen to the Yates family. I'm more worried that you can't fulfill Vitality Biotech Group's contract.

"It has only been ten days since you've signed the contract with them, Ned. How about you inject capital into Yates Group?"
