Instead, they chose to come to me and ask me to take the opportunity to get into a relationship with Nora.
Given the Lewis family's situation back then, the loan was costly. Moreover, they could not necessarily afford to pay back the loan.
They were more than likely not to file for bankruptcy because even though the Lewis family wasn't a powerful family in Hampton, they were well-respected, and filing for bankruptcy would ruin their reputation.
That was why Nora came to me and asked me to be the easy touch. She knew very well that I loved her and that I wouldn't refuse her requests, so she could rightfully ask me for it without having to pay anything.
"Zachary, are you going to watch the Lewis Group go bankrupt?"
"Zachary, there is nothing to be gained by loving someone, and now Nora is willing to marry you. Why don't you agree to her right now?"
"Zachary, Nora loves Ethan, and she's aggrieved that she's in love with you. Just consider the three hundred million dollars as your compensation to her instead of helping the Lewis Group out."
Her family, who came with Nora, were also indignantly blaming me.
They were living in a house bought with my money and getting carried away in front of me.
