Ronia Ackerly quickly woke up and, upon seeing Hayden Rhodes, knelt down to beg Hayden Rhodes to save Julian Rhodes. He is their only son; he must be saved, he absolutely must be saved. To save Julian Rhodes, she would do anything. Looking at Ronia Ackerly’s pleading expression, Hayden Rhodes was very troubled. He is his son too, how could he not save him? It’s just that he never expected Julian Rhodes to gamble and lose so much money, but now there’s no point in blame or anger. He had Aria Rhodes take care of Ronia Ackerly and immediately called the company’s finance department to ask how much cash they had and how much they could raise in three days. The finance department told him ten billion. Moreover, if this ten billion were taken out, the company would immediately experience a cash flow break, which is very dangerous. In the face of life and death, this ten billion is insignificant. However, it’s only ten billion, still short by ninety billion, where would it come from? Make calls to family members, partners, friends, one by one asking, borrowing from each. But somehow, the word reached the Rhodes Family patriarch, who directly ordered that no Rhodes Family member was to lend money to Hayden Rhodes, otherwise, they would be cut off from family ties. Although Hayden Rhodes had strayed in his emotional life, he was nevertheless connected to his siblings by blood. The siblings, upon hearing about Julian Rhodes’s situation, wanted to help, not for anything else, just for blood ties. Julian Rhodes carries half of Hayden Rhodes’s blood, carries the Rhodes Family’s blood. However, the patriarch had spoken, forbidding them from helping, and his words were extremely harsh. They knew the patriarch’s character, he meant what he said, they dared not defy him. So, they urged Hayden Rhodes to beg the patriarch. Once the patriarch spoke, they would help. No problem gathering tens of billions. And Hayden Rhodes, having called friends and partners, borrowed almost ten billion. With the Rhodes Family’s help, and some further maneuvers. One hundred billion wouldn’t be a problem. Now the main concern was the patriarch’s approval, so after receiving the siblings’ words, he immediately went to the Rhodes Family, not returning the entire night. Ronia Ackerly waited at home for Hayden Rhodes, waiting all night, from night till daybreak, crying endlessly, crying the entire night. At times like these, besides crying, she had no other way. "It’s all my fault, I spoiled Julian too much." "I should have listened to your father and sent Julian to the military, even if it meant hardship, I’d be willing." "I don’t want Julian dead; enduring hardships means he is alive, but now, Julian’s life..." Ronia Ackerly couldn’t continue her words, haunted by dreams of Julian being brutalized by those people last night, bloodied and mangled. She was terrified, truly terrified. It was her first time regretting not listening to Hayden. Aria Rhodes stayed by Ronia Ackerly’s side the entire time; Ronia Ackerly didn’t sleep, nor did Aria. She felt anger and hatred. Hate that Julian Rhodes was immature, anger that Julian Rhodes lived in bliss yet was ungrateful. Everything about her parents and home was good, why wasn’t he content? She had nothing, everything she had wasn’t hers. He didn’t know how much she cherished it all. But now, everything she cherished was about to be ruined by Julian Rhodes. One hundred billion; she knew her father’s company couldn’t possibly raise such an amount. They could borrow, but also would have to repay. No idea how long it would take to repay. Under such circumstances, would she still have a good life? She truly hated, hated! "Mom, don’t cry, Dad will definitely solve it." Aria Rhodes hugged Ronia Ackerly, looking at the brightening sky outside. No, she couldn’t let everything disappear like a bubble. She needed to find a way, find a way to save Julian. Save him without spending money. Her thoughts raced in her mind, and soon, a plan took shape. "Mom, I’m going to find someone, see if he can think of a way." Aria Rhodes spoke quickly, with unwavering determination. Upon hearing this, Ronia Ackerly instantly looked at her and held her hand tightly: "Someone? Who?" Aria Rhodes’ eyes darted: "A friend of mine, I’m going to find him. Mom, stay at home, don’t go anywhere. I may not come back quickly, but I will do my best to find a way to save my brother." "Stay home properly." Thᴇ link to the origɪn of this information rᴇsts ɪn n0velfire.net After finishing speaking, Aria Rhodes quickly left, called a driver to leave swiftly. Ronia Ackerly sat there, dazed. Hayden had gone to plead with the patriarch, and Aria was also committing herself to find a way to save Julian. What was the point of crying? Would crying bring Julian back? She needed to calm down, to cool herself and figure out how to solve the issue. At that moment, Ronia Ackerly stopped crying, her tears ceased to fall. She took a tissue to wipe away her tears, her expression turned composed. Her eyes showed numerous expressions, many thoughts appeared in her mind. She needed to find a way to save Julian. One hundred billion; the Rhodes Family could figure out a way. The Rhodes Family was very wealthy, taking out one hundred billion wasn’t an issue. But that old man had always despised her; for so many years, he never accepted her, wanted her to divorce Hayden. This time, to ask the old man for help, he would surely tell her to get lost, to divorce Hayden. If she divorced Hayden, then what was the purpose of sticking it out all these years? Why had she done so much? She wouldn’t divorce Hayden, never! Ronia Ackerly’s eyes gradually narrowed, a sinister glint appeared in her eyes. The Rhodes Family had no way, but The Vaughn Family did. Yes, The Vaughn Family resented her. Poe Vaughn carried Hayden’s blood; he was Hayden’s son, she was still Poe Vaughn’s nominal mom. Julian was his brother, shouldn’t he save him? Yes, Poe Vaughn should be involved in this. He must get involved! Ronia Ackerly’s expression tightened, and the sinister glint in her eyes grew stronger. She really didn’t want to admit Poe Vaughn was exceptional, didn’t want him to be more outstanding than Julian, but at times like these, she had no choice. Ronia Ackerly immediately got up, grabbed her bag and phone, took the car keys, and left home. She needed to find Poe Vaughn, whether to plead or to argue, she was determined to get him involved in the situation. As his nominal brother, he couldn’t stand idly by at times like these! Aria Rhodes asked the driver to drop her off downtown and then took a taxi directly to Celestial Holdings. Yes, the friend she spoke of was none other than Poe Vaughn. The only person by her side able to save Julian without spending money was Poe Vaughn. She knew Poe Vaughn’s abilities and his network. He was far more capable than anyone could imagine. She knew her mom looked down on Poe Vaughn and was unwilling to admit Poe Vaughn was more talented than Julian Rhodes. But that was the truth. At times like these, Poe Vaughn was the only hope. Soon, the car stopped outside Celestial Holdings’ entrance, and Aria Rhodes got out and went straight inside. However, just as she was about to enter the doors of Celestial, the security guard blocked her: "Miss, you can’t go in." Aria Rhodes was stunned: "I... I can’t go in? Why?" She had been able to enter before, why not now? The security guard directly replied: "The higher-ups ordered, Rhodes Family members are prohibited from entering Celestial Holdings."
