"Darling, don't work yourself to death," Nathan said, knowing full well Wendy's capabilities. She'd never let the company fail. She had run it brilliantly since she was young, even giving him a branch to manage after they married, a move that gave him immense credibility. He had pursued her relentlessly back then precisely because she was an only child with a fortune worth hundreds of millions. Women like that craved security, and his arrival had given her just that, changing the fate of the Scott family forever. "Tomorrow, I'll go with you to meet some of my contacts. We'll sort this out."
Wendy nodded. "Thank you for understanding, dear. Your company's profits are still strong, so why don't you handle my parents' allowance for a while? They're now saying they need fifteen thousand a month to get by. It's not that I can't afford it, but right now, every penny I have needs to be carefully allocated. I've already told them to come to you if they need money from now on."
With that, she left, her voice so gentle it made Nathan's heart ache for her.
"Wait..." Nathan started to object, but Joanna stopped him. Her mother had been coming home late almost every night recently. The company must really be in trouble.
"Dad, you should cover it for a few months," Joanna whispered. "Wendy's always been a sharp businesswoman. Once she gets through this rough patch, the company will be better than ever, and she can start paying again. We can't let her get suspicious now."
"And did you take the tonic today?" Even if the Don family business went under, their real estate holdings alone were worth billions. The company headquarters was a building they owned outright.
