Minerva and Helen cried in each other’s arms, regretting everything they did. It took them a long time to calm down, and finally, Helen sighed. “Now, what should we do? It’s ten million, not ten dollars. How am I supposed to tell James about this?”
Minerva had an idea. “Aunt Helen, Liam is managing a construction company, so he must have a lot of money. He probably won’t ask you to return the ten million soon. Why don’t you ask him to give it to you so you can tide things over. As for me... Tate and I will start working and pay you back once we make enough money.”
If anyone else was there, they’d know Minerva was just lying. After all, it’d take the both of them a few lifetimes to make ten million.
Helen, however, looked at her lovingly. “Oh, you
silly girl. That’ll be too much for you and Tate.”
Minerva sighed. “This is our fault, so of course we’ll have to pay you back. I’m sorry, Aunt Helen. I really want to kill myself, but I can’t do it. Not when I know you’ll have to shoulder this debt alone. Don’t worry, Aunt Helen. Tate and I will save up and pay you back no matter what.”
Touched, Helen patted Minerva’s hand. “Don’t blame yourself, Minerva. I... I’ll try to come up with something. Worst-case scenario, James will give me an earful, but we’re already married for a long time. He... probably won’t chase me away. Don’t put too much pressure on yourself. Look livelier, okay?”
Helen calmed the siblings down and left, looking worried.
