Patrick was dumbfounded when he heard that “400 million do

What is that bastard Dale trying to do?”

Vivian was filled with regret. If I had known things would turn out like this. I would have acted differently. Did Dale really see us as some kind of a cash machine! Now, he was demanding an enormous sum of money, or he threatened to sell Katherine What am I going to do about my daughter!

What can I do”

Vivian looked at Patrick, panic in her voice. “What are we going to do? How can the company possibly come up with that much money right now!”

“My jewelry! Yes, the jewelry! Quickly contact someone to sell all of my jewelry and your antiques! Hurry, Leon!”

Patrick grabbed her hand tightly, his face stern. “400 million dollars” Even if we combine all our assets, we wouldn’t be able to gather more than 42 million dollars

“Even if we sold everything, it wouldn’t be enough to reach 28 billion!”

Vivian burst into tears. Then what are we going to do? If Katherine doesn’t come back, we’ll lose everything. Dale said he has so much dirt on us. and if we don’t pay, he’ll expose it all! The company will be ruined!”

Patrick staggered, feeling lightheaded. It took him a long moment to steady himself.

“No, the company cannot collapse! It’s my life’s work; I won’t let anything happen to it!”

Vivian looked at him intently,

“But what about Katherine?” She asked.

it became clear to her as well. She understood that the company could not afford to collapse; it was their

Patrick fell silent. He knew that his daughter was very important, but it was absolutely impossible to sell everything and even risk the foundation

Suddenly, the door was pushed open with a bang, startling them.

Vivian turned to see who had arrived, and a trace of grief crossed her face.

“Louis!”

“Mom, what’s going on?”

company’s

“That bastard Dale is demanding 400 million dollars. Otherwise, your sister will… We can’t possibly come up with that amount” Vivian clutched her chest, overwhelmed with tears. “My Katherine, that monster!”

Louis‘ eyes were red as he gritted his teeth. After a long pause, he said. “That bastard! I’ll sell all the assets under my name. There’s no time to waste. We need to act immediately. And as for the company–if it comes to that, we’ll have to mortgage i

He was about to go upstairs to gather the materials when Patrick called out, “Stop!”

Louis halted and turned to look at his father.

Patrick said in a deep voice, “You don’t need to think about selling the company. No matter how desperate the situation becomes Santos Group is still the result of our hard work”

“Dad, can you even borrow money? The banks aren’t willing to lend us anything Louis reasoned. “The most urgent thing is to save Katherine. She’s in Dale’s hands, and that monster is capable of anything, especially since he’s overseas. We’re Katherine’s–only hope!”

“Even if Dale tries to threaten us after we sell the company, it won’t cause us any threat,” he added.

Patrick and Vivian were immediately shocked. “If that’s the case, we’ll have nothing left. You too–after all the effort we’ve put into the company, are you really willing to sell it now!”

Louis looked at his parents in disbelief. “Mom, Dad, we’re already at this point. What does the company matter now! Katherine is the most important

“But after all these years, we’ve finally achieved something. If you sell the company, we’ll be left with nothing!” Patrick responded “Louis, you’re not married, and without the company, you’ll have nothing”

“What about Katherine?” Louis felt a sharp pain in his hear.

Patrick and Vivian were silent, which made him a bit incredulous. You guys…”

“Anyway, Louis, as long as you don’t sell the company, I’ll figure out a way! Vivian turned around and left. Louis was stunned. As this point, other than selling the company, what else could they do?

400 million dollars–that was an astronomical amount

Vivian hesitated for a long time before asking the driver to take her to the Grant family. Aside from her, no one else could help.

Meanwhile, Valerie received a call from Louis and learned that Dale was actually extorting 400 million dollars before releasing Katherine

Valerie was astonished. “Let me think about it carefully. We’ll definitely do our best with the financial aspect.

“Thank you, Valerie. If it doesn’t work out, I’ll mortgage the company. Don’t listen to my parents for now I’ll do everything I can.”

After hanging up, Valerie frowned deeply. It seemed that the Santos family still had people who genuinely cared about Katherine.

Julian was also extremely anxious. Upon learning everything, his heart sank

“I can’t believe this bastard would dare to do this.”

He slammed his fist on the table, clearly furious.

Katherine was such a good girl. No one could believe that Dale was so ruthless

He was simply too outrageous.

Valerie frowned. ‘Dale is going all in. He knows he can’t fight us anymore, so he went overseas. But his actions are quite swift!”

Julian said in a deep voice, “Given Katherine’s situation, it’s impossible to gather 400 million dollars. I’ll go back and raise Meanwhile, you need to replace out where Dale is. Once we know, we’ll capture him all at once“”

Valerie nodded, and Julian hurriedly drove off. At that moment, he didn’t notice that Vivian’s car was parked at
