When Her Death Couldn't Break Him (Cecilia and Nathaniel) novel Chapter 1857

Chapter 1857 Left Homeless
Allison gently coaxed Conrad with a few words before turning her attention back to the phone call with Zeke. “How did it go? Has Meredith not forgiven you yet?”

Naturally, Zeke didn't dare to tell his mother that he had been outwitted by Meredith.

He let out a sigh, saying, “That woman is relentless, and she's determined to oppose me. Mom, wait for me. Don't let them touch our stuff. I'll be right back.”

“All right.”

Zeke then hung up the phone.

However, it wasn't long before one phone call after another started coming in again.

It was either someone demanding debt repayment, an employee reporting disturbances at the company, or even someone resigning, among other things.

Overnight, it seemed as though the Turner family truly couldn't hold on any longer and was on the verge of collapse.

Zeke's hands were trembling. He had never dealt with such a crisis before, and for a moment, he was at a loss for what to do. He even lashed out at those who were seeking his help.

Camila was silently listening from the side, a sense of unease growing within her. Could it be that the Turner family is really going under? Does this mean all my years of painstaking efforts will just go up in smoke?

Regret filled Camila's heart. Had I known how useless Zeke was, I would never have wasted my time on him!

At last, the vehicle arrived at the Turner residence.

From a distance, Zeke saw Allison trying to deter those who intended to seize their family assets.

“You can't touch my family's belongings! Put them down immediately!”

Allison was utterly unable to stop those people. Meanwhile, Conrad was wailing uncontrollably nearby.

“All of these things are mine! You can't touch them!”

In a rush, Zeke quickly got out of his car and ran over to those people.

“What are you doing? Why are you seizing my property without any reason?”

“How much money do you actually owe the bank?” Allison inquired.

“Not much. It's just a few hundred million,” Zeke said nonchalantly.

A few hundred million? Allison was utterly exasperated with him. “That's so much money! How is that not much? Your father never owed this much when he was alive.”

“What's the point of saying all this now?” Zeke retorted.

Allison was momentarily at a loss for words.

She was quiet for a long while before she said, “I have some jewelry on hand. If sold, they could fetch a decent sum. You can take them tomorrow to help you get through this difficult time.”

“All right,” Zeke quickly responded. “Mom, you should have told me earlier.”

Allison sighed, “Those jewelry pieces are the ones I've kept all these years. I'm not sure if it's enough.”

The two of them were deep in conversation, and Camila, who was nearby, found herself entertaining thoughts she knew she shouldn't have.
