The Love I Begged For Was Never Real novel Chapter 180

The Hayes Group's retaliation would simply crush her and her poor family in the countryside, like stepping on an ant.

By then, she wouldn't even have the chance to leave the city alive.

"Nora..."

Janie's voice was barely a whisper. "If we don't take Mr. Pierce's help, will Arthur's studio enter bankruptcy liquidation tomorrow?"

Nora trembled, unable to answer.

"If I leave, will the funds be transferred immediately? Will the studio be saved?"

Janie continued, her voice completely devoid of emotion.

"Is this... our only way out?"

Nora froze.

She looked at Janie, her lips parting as she wanted to spin a lie, to tell her there was always another way.

But Arthur's studio was teetering on the edge, and the burden she carried was too heavy for her to act on blind emotion.

Closing her eyes, a tear slipped down Nora's cheek.

Slowly, she nodded at Janie.

Yes. It was their only way out.

Without the Pierce family's five hundred million, the entire studio would be liquidated immediately.

And if Janie stayed in the city, Gideon would only use more ruthless tactics to back her into a corner.

Unless Nora was willing to watch Arthur's life's work be destroyed and condemn everyone to massive debt over her feud with Giselle, they had to take Julian's money.

Seeing Nora nod, Janie suddenly realized how painfully stupid her actions had been.

Why was she so impulsive? Why had she provoked the untouchable heiress just to protect a woman who couldn't even protect her?
