“Alice, don’t cry. How can I help you?”

Alice’s eyes gleamed with a glimmer of hope, and she said urgently, “You need to plead with Mr. Wilson for me, ask him to invest in my family, the Robertsons. That way, we won’t go bankrupt, and I won’t be forced to marry Mr. Luiz!”

“But…” Victoria bit her lip lightly. “I don’t know if Wilson will agree…”

“Victoria, do you want to watch be forced to marry Mr. Luiz by my family? You’re the only one who can help me now. We’re best friends, aren’t we?” Alice pleaded urgently. “You’re the only one who can help me!

Seeing her so desperate, Victoria reluctantly agreed.

“Alright, Alice, I’ll ask Wilson for you.”
