A Warm Marriage After Rebirth

Chapter 178: Chapter 178: The Galloway Father and Daughter Courting Death (3)

”Dad, are we really going bankrupt?” Michelle Galloway couldn’t believe it. Just a few days ago, she was the adored heiress of the Galloway Family, whom everyone flattered. How had everything changed in the blink of an eye! She couldn’t bear to imagine it. If the Galloway Family really went bankrupt, wouldn’t she be just like those other kids in her class, eating in the cafeteria every day and riding a bike to school! ’I don’t want to live like that! That kind of life is just too horrible!’

”Our family has run into some trouble. Whether we can save the family’s company... it’s all up to you now, Michelle!” The blows of the past few days had aged Miles Galloway by many years; a few white hairs were already visible at his temples.

”Up to me? What can I do?” Michelle Galloway was completely bewildered.

”There’s only one way for the Galloway Family to recover: a large injection of capital. But I’ve been to every bank in Sanford, and not a single one is willing to lend us money. All my old friends are avoiding my calls. There’s simply no one who can help.”

Miles Galloway ground his teeth in frustration. ’These people... they’re full of sweet talk on a normal day, but when I actually need them, they all run faster than anyone else!’

”Then what can I do? The people I know are even more useless!” Hearing about the family’s situation, Michelle Galloway grew more anxious. ’Is my life of wealth and luxury going to end just like this?’

”There is one other way! Six months ago, a powerful investor from the Grant Family of Aethelgard came to Sanford. If you can convince the general manager of The Grant Group in Sanford to invest capital in our company, we’ll be saved!”

The pathetic Miles Galloway had been led to a lounge while Ronan Winters and Seraphina Sterling were speaking privately, so he completely missed the scene of Terrence Grant’s domineering entrance. Later, when Ronan Winters came to settle the score, he never mentioned the Grant Family, only saying that Miles had provoked someone he couldn’t afford to provoke. This left Miles Galloway knowing only that Seraphina Sterling had a powerful backer, but he had no idea that her backer *was* Terrence Grant. If he had known, he absolutely would not be sending his precious daughter to serve as cannon fodder.

”But I don’t know the general manager of The Grant Group. How am I supposed to get him to invest in our family?” Michelle Galloway still hadn’t grasped the true meaning behind her father’s words.

”I’ve already looked into it. The manager at The Grant Group is none other than Mr. Grant of Aethelgard. You could call him the Grant Family’s Demon King of Chaos—arrogant, tyrannical, and willfully reckless. No one can control him. As long as he takes a liking to you, if we can make him the Galloway Family’s son-in-law, won’t all our problems be solved at once?” Miles Galloway’s scheme was certainly ambitious; he actually wanted to forge ties with the Grant Family of Aethelgard. It was a mystery where he found such confidence.

As he spoke, Miles Galloway took out a photo of Terrence Grant. Michelle Galloway, who had been feeling rather aggrieved just a moment ago, was instantly overjoyed upon seeing Terrence Grant’s extraordinarily handsome face. She had never seen such a handsome man! He was even more handsome than the Marshal! He exuded a mature, masculine charm. And those wild, untamable eyes were filled with a mystery that made one irresistibly want to explore their depths.

Miles Galloway knew his daughter best. Seeing her expression, he knew his plan was already halfway to success. ”I’ve already arranged a meeting with Terrence Grant at the Stelluna Hotel. We’ll head over tonight. This afternoon, go get a beauty treatment, buy some new clothes, and get yourself all dolled up. Mr. Grant has very high standards!”

Michelle Galloway was like a young girl with her first crush, eagerly awaiting the moment she would meet Terrence Grant.

And the very Mr. Grant this father-daughter pair spoke of was, at that exact moment, glaring with rage at two people chatting happily in the distance.

In truth, it was only Ginny Gable, who had come to the hospital to take a statement from Seraphina Sterling. After the official statement was recorded, the two had simply started making small talk.
