After the New Year's Eve Tragedy Her Icy Return novel Chapter 65

Liam glanced at Helen’s tear–streaked face, and despite everything, he felt his resolve soften. His tone became more considerate. “Alright, stop crying. Let’s figure out how to pay the wages, okay?”

If Edwin ever finds out how far things have fallen, I’ll be out of job in an instant.

We have to find a way to get the products out of the factory, or we’ll be in a world of trouble.

Helen sniffled, wiping her eyes with a tissue. “How am I supposed to know what to do?”

Liam thought for a moment, then suggested, “How much savings do you have? Take it all out and use it to pay the wages. Once the factory starts moving products again, I’ll pay you back.”.

It was the only solution he’d come up with after hours of thinking.

If they didn’t pay the workers, they’d definitely protest, stop working, or maybe even go on strike. If that happened, there was no chance they’d be able to make decent clothes.

There was no other option but to pay them, keep spirits up, and give the factory a fighting chance.

Helen bit her lip, clearly unsure. “I don’t have much. Just a little over 2,000 dollars.”

Liam’s eyes widened in disbelief. “What? Only 2,000?”

I’ve given her a lot over the last few months. Just recently, I gave her 60,000.

Where did it all go?

Liam couldn’t quite believe it. “Don’t worry about it. I’m just borrowing it for now. I’ll pay you back as soon as I can. I won’t take a single penny of yours.”

Helen frowned deeply. “Uncle Liam, do you think I’m lying to you? If I had money, I would’ve given it to you right away.”

Looking into her eyes, Liam’s doubts started to fade.

“You have a decent salary. And with the money I’ve given you, you should have at least 200,000, right? Where did it all go?”

“Most of it went into maintenance–buying hair products, cosmetics, that kind of stuff,” Helen said, deliberately mentioning things Liam probably wouldn’t understand.

In reality, she hadn’t spent nearly as much as she implied on skincare and treatments.

She still had some savings, but she wasn’t foolish–why would she use her own money for this?

Besides, Liam wanted to use her money to pay the workers.

If the factory recovered quickly, fine. But if things didn’t turn around, her money would be gone for nothing.

Liam was about to argue when he suddenly felt completely helpless.

He didn’t have much left either. After helping Helen with her bill, he’d spent over tens of thousands. Now. he was down to just a few thousand.

I knew she wouldn’t be able to help.

Do I really have to borrow from my brothers?
