NovelEnglishChapter 179
Nathan had to find out why Audrey was frequenting a casino. Could she perhaps be passing by, short on money
and indulging in a small gamble, or did she also becaddicted to gambling?
Carol gave Nathan the address of Audrey's current residence and reminded him, “Do the paternity test as soon
as possible-that’s what matters!”
Seeing Nathan head out, Amelia hurriedly went after him.
Just as Nathan reached for the car door, Amelia grabbed his arm.
“Nathan!”
Nathan reassured Amelia. “I don’t mean anything else; I'm just worried that Audrey might end up like Charles
and get addicted to gambling.”
Amelia hesitated. “Nathan, Charles gambled at the scasino. Do you think Audrey caused this to retaliate
againstfor taking you away from her-"
“Audrey is not that kind of person!” Nathan interrupted.

Amelia bit her lip, her throat tightening. She slowly let go of Nathan's hand and asked, “Nathan, do you regret it?
Do you regret choosingover Audrey?”
“Sweetie, | don’t mean that!” Nathan didn’t know how to explain to Amelia. “Even as a friend, | don’t want
Audrey to follow in Charles’ footsteps and becaddicted to gambling.”
“Then can’t we have Hugo go and talk to Audrey?” Amelia asked.
Seeing Nathan's silence, she finally relented. “If you insist on going, I'll go with you!”
Nathan opened his car door. “Get in.”
Amelia swiftly opened the passenger door and got into the car.
On the way to Audrey’s house, Amelia gripped the seatbelt and asked softly, “Nathan, have you found a solution
to Charles’ trouble?”
“I've contacted Zenith Pharmaceuticals, but it seems we'll have to share profits with them in the long term,”
Nathan said with a frown.
Amelia's grip on the seatbelt tightened. She couldn't bring herself to say the words Michelle had told
her.
“This has nothing to do with you. Don’t worry about whatever my mom said,” Nathan assured Amelia.
“Nathan... What about Mr. Norman's family? Will they be okay?” Amelia bit her lip. “Will they have to pay a huge
penalty for breach of contract?”

“I hope you won't get involved in this matter,” Nathan told Amelia. “There’s a difference between personal
feelings and business.”
“But he’s still my uncle! Mr. Norman knows that you entrusted this matter to the Murray Group because you
trusted them. He really wants to do well! This tit was Charles who caused trouble, so
Mr. Norman-"
“What are you trying to say?” Nathan's tone turned impatient.
“For this project, Murray Group took out a bank loan to buy those machines from Franklin Group. It was a huge
expense that left Murray Group short on cash flow. And with Charles misappropriating funds, the entire Murray
Group is now stuck.”

Tears welled up in Amelia’s eyes.
“But if Franklin Group doesn’t give up on Murray Group first... If they could inject capital into Murray Group, they
could still survive! Mr. Norman won't make it otherwise! Nathan, I've never asked you for anything regarding
Murray Group all these years. This time, can you—*

“If Franklin Group had enough funds, | wouldn't even consider sharing profits with Murray Group,” Nathan
interrupted.
“With the problems Murray Group has caused me, I'm already overwhelmed. Where do you expectto find
capital to help Murray Group?”
This was the first tNathan had spoken such harsh words to Amelia since they got together. Amelia’s tears
were now pooling in her eyes.
Nathan flicked on the turn signal and pulled the car over to the side of the road.
With one hand on the steering wheel, he looked at Amelia.
“If we can’t deliver on the agreement with Evergreen Biotech this month, I'll lose everything—even if | were to
put the entire Franklin Group on the line!
“At a tlike this... how can | help Mr. Norman? Should I throw Franklin Group under the bus for Murray Group?”
