After the New Year's Eve Tragedy Her Icy Return novel Chapter 67

Finished

In her past life, Caroline had planned to take the proper route to secure a loan. But Liam had insisted on the quicker way, arguing that paying a bit more in interest wouldn’t matter if they could repay it fast.

But the factory went bankrupt, and Liam showed no interest in repaying the loan.

She was left with no money to cover the debt, and the creditors came after her, threatening to take action.

Desperate, she turned to Liam for help.

But how did he respond?..

Not only did he refuse to help, but he also deliberately distanced himself from her, letting the creditors do whatever they wanted.

Fortunately, Caroline was quick enough to escape, narrowly avoiding disaster.

“Aunt Caroline, I heard from a friend that this loan company is really good. Since our factory is low on funds, why don’t we check it out?” Helen’s voice interrupted Caroline’s thoughts.

But she was curious. She wanted to see how Helen was going to convince her this time.

It was clear–this was a shady loan.

Perhaps back then, when the factory was on the brink of collapse and Liam was desperate, she had been too caught up in the situation to see it and had agreed to the loan.

Helen shot Caroline a look and put on a fake smile. “Aunt Caroline, I’ll take care of the loan for the factory, but we need a guarantor. Can you help us?”

Worried Caroline might refuse, she added, “Don’t worry. We’re family. There won’t be any problems.”

Caroline glanced at the contract on the table, then replied flatly, “No problem. Go ahead and sign it. Once you’re done, I’ll be your guarantor.”

As she spoke, she slid a pile of contracts in front of Caroline. “There’s a lot of paperwork, so let’s sign quickly!”

What a clever trap!

The sooner we get the money, the sooner I can relax.
