Meeting The One For Me ( Nathan Franklin )
Chapter 179

Chapter 179 

Nathan had to find out why Audrey was frequenting a casino. Could she perhaps be passing by, short on money and indulging in a small gamble, or did she also become addicted to gambling? 

Carol gave Nathan the address of Audrey’s current residence and reminded him, “Do the paternity test as soon as possible–that’s what matters!” 

Seeing Nathan head out, Amelia hurriedly went after him. 

Just as Nathan reached for the car door, Amelia grabbed his arm. 

“Nathan!” 

Nathan reassured Amelia. “I don’t mean anything else; I’m just worried that Audrey might end up like Charles and get addicted to gambling.” 

Amelia hesitated. “Nathan, Charles gambled at the same casino. Do you think Audrey caused this to retaliate against me for taking you away from her-” 

“Audrey is not that kind of person!” Nathan interrupted. 

Amelia bit her lip, her throat tightening. She slowly let go of Nathan’s hand and asked, “Nathan, do you regret it? Do you regret choosing me over Audrey?” 

“Sweetie, I don’t mean that!” Nathan didn’t know how to explain to Amelia. “Even as a friend, I don’t want Audrey to follow in Charles‘ footsteps and become addicted to gambling.” 

“Then can’t we have Hugo go and talk to Audrey?” Amelia asked. 

Seeing Nathan’s silence, she finally relented. “If you insist on going, I’ll go with you!” 

Nathan opened his car door. “Get in.” 

Amelia swiftly opened the passenger door and got into the car. 

On the way to Audrey’s house, Amelia gripped the seatbelt and asked softly, “Nathan, have you found a solution to Charles‘ trouble?” 

“I’ve contacted Zenith Pharmaceuticals, but it seems we’ll have to share profits with them in the long term,” Nathan said with a frown. 

Amelia’s grip on the seatbelt tightened. She couldn’t bring herself to say the words Michelle had told 

her. 

“This has nothing to do with you. Don’t worry about whatever my mom said,” Nathan assured Amelia. 

“Nathan… What about Mr. Norman’s family? Will they be okay?” Amelia bit her lip. “Will they have to pay a huge penalty for breach of contract?”

“I hope you won’t get involved in this matter,” Nathan told Amelia. “There’s a difference between personal feelings and business.” 

“But he’s still my uncle! Mr. Norman knows that you entrusted this matter to the Murray Group because you trusted them. He really wants to do well! This time it was Charles who caused trouble, so 

Mr. Norman-” 

“What are you trying to say?” Nathan’s tone turned impatient. 

“For this project, Murray Group took out a bank loan to buy those machines from Franklin Group. It was a huge expense that left Murray Group short on cash flow. And with Charles misappropriating funds, the entire Murray Group is now stuck.” 

Tears welled up in Amelia’s eyes. 

“But if Franklin Group doesn’t give up on Murray Group first… If they could inject capital into Murray Group, they could still survive! Mr. Norman won’t make it otherwise! Nathan, I’ve never asked you for anything regarding Murray Group all these years. This time, can you—‘

“If Franklin Group had enough funds, I wouldn’t even consider sharing profits with Murray Group,” Nathan interrupted. 

“With the problems Murray Group has caused me, I’m already overwhelmed. Where do you expect me to find capital to help Murray Group?” 

This was the first time Nathan had spoken such harsh words to Amelia since they got together. Amelia’s tears were now pooling in her eyes. 

Nathan flicked on the turn signal and pulled the car over to the side of the road. 

With one hand on the steering wheel, he looked at Amelia. 

“If we can’t deliver on the agreement with Evergreen Biotech this month, I’ll lose everything—even if I were to put the entire Franklin Group on the line! 

“At a time like this… how can I help Mr. Norman? Should I throw Franklin Group under the bus for Murray Group?”
