Second Marriage to Mr. Rich (Ned Fletcher) novel Chapter 178

Billy maintained his smiley expression, but the tall, bulky thugs behind him appeared fierce and menacing.

"Okay!" said Tommy, yielding. He gritted his teeth and took out his phone to scroll through his contacts. "Come on, it's just 250 thousand dollars."

After some time, he found Ingrid's number and dialed it.

"Hello, Tommy. Why are you calling me at this hour?" Ingrid answered happily.

"Ingrid, I've run into a bit of trouble. Can you lend me 250 thousand dollars? It's for an emergency," he whispered into the phone.

"A week ago, Uncle Henry mentioned a big project with Fletcher Corporation that needed funding. I gave him over 50 million dollars from there. If you need money now, is there a problem with the project?" she asked anxiously.

"Yes!" he replied. "Didn't Ned just sign a contract with Vitality Biotech Group? I heard there's a hefty penalty for breach of contract, so I don't want to cause more trouble for him."

"Okay, I'll transfer it to you right away!"

Not forgetting to remind Tommy, she said, "Ned gave our family the projects because he trusts in us. You must handle things properly and not cause any trouble! Otherwise, I won't be able to explain myself in front of Mrs. Fletcher."

"Ingrid, don't worry!" said Tommy, glancing around, before he added, "Ingrid, if you have extra money, transfer it to me too! I'll pay you back after this project is over."

"Okay, okay. You better work hard."

"Don't worry, Ingrid."

Soon after hanging up the phone, Tommy received 500 thousand dollars from Ingrid. He was smiling happily as he transferred half of it to Billy.
