Chapter 365
Debby’s voice softened slightly, but she was still angry. “Now look at where that has brought you. Nolan wants nothing to do with you. Gabriel is disappointed. And your dad’s company is back in trouble.”Cherry sobbed harder. “What if… what if it really was him? What if he really helped and I ruined everything?”Debby looked away for a moment before speaking again. “Then that would mean you pushed away the one person who helped you without asking for anything in return.”Cherry covered her mouth, her shoulders shaking. “I messed up… I really messed up.”Debby nodded slowly. “Yes, you did. And the worst part is, you may never get the chance to fix it.”“You treated Nolan well at first, apologized for your wrong, and told him about your father’s company and it got sorted out. Then you treated Nolan very badly, and after that, your father’s company went back to ground zero. What do you think about this? It can’t be a coincidence, right? I mean, it is very explainable, isn’t it?”“That ca

“Did… did I say something wrong?” Debby asked worriedly, moving closer. “Is it a very touchy subject? I’m sorry, I didn’t mean…”“No, no,” Cherry interrupted, sniffing. “You didn’t do anything wrong.” She wiped her tears angrily. “I just hate how everything is right now. My life, my dad’s company… everything.”Debby frowned. “What happened?” she asked carefully. “Is your dad okay?”Cherry took a deep breath and explained everything to Debby, from how things were suddenly looking good, to how everything turned terrible again within hours. She talked about the investors, the meeting, and how they all pulled out again without explanation.Debby’s eyes widened in shock. “How can that happen?” she asked. “That’s very suspicious and weird.”“I’m just as confused as you are,” Cherry replied weakly. “Everything had been fixed. It looked good. So how did it all get bad all of a sudden? The more I think about it, the less sense it makes.”She hugged herself tightly, her chest aching. Nothing ab

Gabriel was furious as he watched Cherry yell at Nolan. He couldn’t keep his anger to himself anymore. His chest was heaving as he stepped forward, his voice loud.“Cherry, you’re so ungrateful,” He snapped. “If not because of Nolan, do you think you would still be standing here right now? You would have already been dragged away by James and those touts, and God knows what would have happened to you after that.”Cherry laughed bitterly, her face twisted in anger as she turned to him. “What the hell are you talking about?” she yelled. “Ungrateful? Me? You’re so funny, Gabriel.”She pointed accusingly in Nolan’s direction. “Nolan could have stopped James easily. He could have just acted as my boyfriend when I asked him to, or better still, paid the money. Instead, he made me sign one stupid undertaking, and now I’m supposed to thank him for that? Why should I?”Debby and Gabriel stared at her, completely stunned. They were too shocked and angry to even respond at first. Gabriel clenche

Nolan looked at James with a calm but pointed expression. “So, I’ll suggest this,” he said slowly, making sure James understood every word. “Cherry can pay you your money in installments. She can also sign an undertaking that she would be paying you weekly and for no reason should she miss any of the days she promises to pay.”James scoffed loudly, crossing his arms. “I don’t think I like that idea,” he said sharply, glaring at Nolan. “Why should I agree to that? When she spent the money, she spent it all at once. So why should I collect it in bits? It makes no sense at all.”Nolan raised an eyebrow, a faint smirk playing on his lips. “But she doesn’t have any money to pay you right now,” he replied calmly. “So you clearly have nothing else to do except accept this offer.”James’s jaw tightened, and he opened his mouth to argue, but Nolan’s confident tone and the truth in his words left him with nothing to say. He knew Nolan was right. There was no other way he could get the money fro

James turned to the touts who were still dragging Cherry roughly.“Carry on with what you were doing,” he said coldly, completely ignoring Debby as he turned his back on her.“No… no… please, Debby, save me!” Cherry cried out desperately. “Don’t let them take me away. Please help me!”Debby started to panic. Her heart raced as she watched Cherry struggle in their grip. She didn’t know what to do anymore. She looked back at Gabriel and Nolan, then back at Cherry, then again at Nolan and Gabriel. Her eyes were filled with fear and confusion.Suddenly, she ran toward Nolan.“Nolan, please do something,” she begged. “You can’t let them take Cherry away like this.”But to her shock, Nolan said nothing. His face was cold and unreadable, as if everything happening in front of him meant nothing to him.Debby turned to Gabriel immediately. “Gabriel, please talk to Nolan. He can do something about this. He shouldn’t let them take Cherry away. Only God knows what they will do to her.”Nolan roll

“No… no… that can’t be possible,” Cherry said in shock. Her body started shaking. “Daddy, try to talk to them. This can’t happen.”Her mind was spinning. He had just called her earlier and told her that investors were already sending mails. She had been so happy and relieved. And now, all of a sudden, they were pulling out again? She was confused, this was too much.She started sweating heavily as her hands trembled. The noise she could hear over the phone only made it worse.“I have to go now, Cherry,” her dad said quietly. “I’ll talk to you later.”Before she could say anything else, the call ended.“Dad… dad… no… wait…” Cherry said desperately, staring at her phone. But there was no response. He had already ended the call.Her heart sank.“So, what’s going on?” James asked coldly the moment he noticed she was done with the call. “Am I getting my money or not?”“I… I…” Cherry stammered, her lips trembling. She didn’t know what to say.“This girl isn’t ready to pay me my money,” Jame
