“Didn’t I just give you fifty thousand dollars two days ago?” she grunted.
“It’s not enough. You have my bank account details. Just wire the money! I promise you, this will be the last time.Natalie.Just do me a solid one last time.”
Tyler was clearing taking her for granted.
Natalie rubbed her temples and bluntly replied, “Tyler, I don’t have a hundred grand!”
What kind of money, she would never give it to him.
Obviously, he was up to no good now that he was borrowing money from her again.
Unable to persuade her, Tyler decided to suggest a different method.
“Well, can you borrow from your friends or get a foan? I’ll pay you back in two weeks!”
Natalie fell silent for a few seconds and became even more annoyed.
‘How could he ask me to get a loan?’ Fueled by rage, she growled, “I’m not going to get a loan for you! What on earth happened anyway? Why do you need so much money?”
Not wanting to tell the truth, Tyler responded, “It’s for business. You know how businesses are.Fifty grand isn’t nearly enough.I
need to rent an office space, hire employees, and pay tuition to learn more about running a business.”
Naturally, Natalie didn’t believe him.
Worried that she was being too loud and was disturbing everyone else at work, she decided to leave the office, and walked out of the company building.
The sky was overcast.It appeared that it would rain heavily pretty soon.
Since nobody else was around, she raised her voice and said, “You’re only just starting out! Just set up a God damned stall, and sell some street snacks or daily necessities.Don’t dream too big when you’re just starting. You don’t have to make much money.I’m the one supporting Hannah anyway.Besides, you don’t have to hire employees so soon. You should use your own hands to work on everything.And in the event that you fail to make money, you won’t lose too much.”
Tyler sighed and replied, “But that’s exhausting.I have to take care of my mom, so I won’t have that much time to do business all day.I really have to hire employees.”
“Doing business is never easy.Don’t you know that already? No job in this world is easy! If you want to make money, you’d best prepare yourself to go through hardships,” Natalie remarked frankly.
She couldn’t figure out why Tyler was unable to comprehend the way things worked in the world at his age.He’d been trying to persuade Natalie for a long time, but it didn’t seem like she’d agree to loan him some money.
He burst into tears and cried, “Natalie, I really need your help.Please! Okay, I’m going to tell you the truth.Before I came home, I
amassed some debt due to gambling.I don’t have enough money to pay my creditors back.I don’t have any other choice but to ask you for help.If I don’t pay them back, they’re gonna kill me!”
Natalie was surprised that Tyler was in debt again.
“Didn’t you promise us that you’ve changed? Why do you have debts again?”
Natalie gritted her teeth, infuriated by the fact that she was fooled.
Even though she was mentally prepared that Tyler might never pay her the fifty grand that he owed her, she still felt furious when she found out that he had been lying to her.
Tyler sniffled.
He realized that this was the end of the rope for him.
“I don’t have any other choice.I need to pay them back.Natalie, will you promise not to tell my mom about this? I really have decided to change, but I need to solve these problems first before I can start over.I’ll pay you back everything I owe you, I
promise!”
Hearing that, Natalie frowned.Her intuition was right.
Tyler wasn’t a good person.He had been lying to her and Hannah.
Perhaps his promise of starting over was a lie too.
“I don’t have one hundred grand; I swear. Why don’t you borrow money from others? I won’t tell Hannah about it.She is too old to withstand such a blow.”
With that, Natalie decided to hang up the phone.
“I don’t have any friends. They all run away from me as if I were a plague. How would they lend me money? I have no one to turn
You are my last hope, Natalie,” Tyler cried in despair.
“Natalie, please lend me one hundred grand.At least for my mom’s sake! If you don’t help me, I’m afraid those guys will go to my mom!”
Natalie’s heart leaped to her throat. If that were the case, she had no choice but to help him out.
Natalie knew that if she didn’t help him, Tyler would turn to Hannah, which would only make matters worse.
After all, Hannah was old, and Natalie didn’t want her to worry about more problems.
“Tyler, you must have investigated what I’m doing now before coming to me.That fifty grand I gave you was the best I could do.Anyway, which casino do you owe money to? I’ll find a way to deal with it.”

Tyler cried with joy.
He knew Natalie would help him.
“Gainrich Casino. You have to help me fast, or in a few days, the compound interest would pile up, and I’d have to pay more than one hundred and fifty grand.”
“What? The casino is located in the northern part of the country.How did you get there?”
Natalie’s frown deepened as she checked the information about the Gainrich Casino on her phone.
The Casino was located in a city far away from Seacisco.
At first, Natalie inquired about the casino because she knew Sebastian had a lot of connections and believed he could help.
However, the casino was miles and miles away from Seasisco, so she didn’t think Sebastian would have friends there.
“No matter what, you should pay them back as soon as possible!” Tyler said anxiously as if he hadn’t heard what Natalie said.
Natalie didn’t know what to say.
Tyler was taking her for granted.She didn’t owe anyone money and agreed to help him only for Hannah’s sake.
“Gainrich Casino is too far away from Seacisco, Tyler.I will try my best to help you but don’t build hopes.Keep asking people for money.In the meantime, I’ll think of a way.” Natalie advised.
It was crucial to solve the problem now, so she wanted him also to try his best.
“Okay,” said Tyler.
“But I have no one now. You are my only hope.”
Before Natalie could speak, he hung up the phone.
Natalie told everything to Sebastian as soon as she returned home, She wanted to see if Sebastian knew anyone who could help Tyler.
Sebastian sat cross-legged, flipping through the pages of the book in his hand.
Hearing Natalie’s words, he looked up and asked, “Gainrich Casino is hundreds of miles away from here.Why did he go there?”
“Maybe he was afraid that Hannah would find out if he gambled in Seacisco,” Natalie replied with a weary sigh.
The problem would have been easier to solve if the casino were in Seacisco.
“Of course, I will help you.” Sebastian shrugged.
“I need to make a few calls first.” The problem would have been easier to solve if the casino were in Seacisco.of course, I will help you.”
Sebastian shrugged.
“I need to make a few calls first.”
Right now, there was nothing else Natalie could do but wait for Sebastian to come up with something.
