"You keep saying that you have no way out. Tell me, what's the matter?"
Molly wiped her tears and continued, "I was studying well in Eqitin, but my dad suddenly called me home. When I got back, I found out that he wanted me to give up my studies and get married."
"Some girls in our hometown got married very early, so I didn't think much about it at first. I told them that I don't want to get married now. We can talk about it after my graduation."
"I didn't expect that my father would bring a man back the next day. The man was almost 50 years old, and he was the boss of a listed company. My father said that our company suffered a serious loss and we owe him a lot of money. If I don't marry him, our whole family will have to stay out on the street and starve to death."
Archie, Natalia, I was really forced to run out of the house secretly. I have no relatives in Eqitin but the Old Madam and you. I really can't others to help me.
Natalia looked at her with interest and a kind of smile forming.
"You said that your company suffered heavy losses, and your father forced you to get married?"
"Yes."
"Does this have anything to do with seducing your cousin?"
Molly: "..."
Her face gradually turned from pale to red, feeling so embarrassing.
Natalia sat there, looking very calm.
She fiddled with her beautiful fingers and said indifferently, "It was just a small matter that you came to ask us for help. As far as I know, it's not the first time that The McCarthy family has helped you all these years."
"Since we're relatives and you're my mother's niece, we can't just stand by and watch. But what you've done today is really too much. If I help you again, won't it seem that I'm vulnerable and anyone can bully me?"
Molly trembled slightly.
She suddenly knelt down again and kowtowed heavily.
"Natalia, I was wrong! I was possessed! I was shameless! Please forgive me! I was really wrong."
She cried so hard that she could not speak. Natalia frowned slightly.
She was not a person who liked to be high and mighty. If there was someone she did not like, she would at most turn a blind eye to it.
Where did Molly learn the habit of kneeling down to others?
She said solemnly, "Don't kowtow. If others see us, they will think that we have done something to you."
However, as if she could not hear her, Molly kept kowtowing. Soon, a small bump appeared on her forehead.
Natalia frowned. She winked at the maid standing next to her and someone immediately stepped forward to help Molly up.
"Miss Roger, stop kowtowing. Mrs. McCathy is of the same generation as you. If outsiders see you doing this, what will they say about her?"
Molly stood up in tears. Her delicate forehead was swollen and her face was full of tears. She looked so pitiful.
"You just said that your company has suffered a serious loss? What's going on?"
Molly's eyes flashed and she stammered, "I... I don't know the details. My father and brother are in charge of the company."
Natalia turned to look at Archie. "Do you know?"
Archie frowned. He was in Eqitin and The Rogers family was in Cloud City, so he was not very clear about what was going on in Cloud City.
