“Ysabel, you’ve just started working with the company recently after studying abroad for years. I believe you have met a lot of people and participated in many different events and occasions, yes? Do you remember encountering any such powerful and formidable young masters?”
Lady Yaleman asked. After all, she was perfectly aware of how eye-catching Ysabel was. Yeah, Bea was on par with her beauty but she was rarely exposed to grander events and the outside world compared to Ysabel.
Ysabel took a moment to think about her experience before she replied, “I think so, grandma!”
“Well, if that’s the case, then we’ll count it as a blessing for the Yaleman family! Ysabel, if there is anything that you want or need in the future, do not hesitate to ask grandma for it!” Lady Yaleman said.
“Thank you, grandma!” Ysabel replied excitedly.
These words foreshadowed the possibility that Ysabel would be able to secure a high position for herself in the company.
Grandma held Ysabel’s hand as they returned to the mansion.
It was around this time that Yuma suddenly received a phone call.
“What did you just say? Can you repeat yourself one more time?”
The expression on Yuma’s face changed immediately.
After hanging up, it seemed as though all color had been drained from Yuma’s face instantly.
“Mom!”
Yuma was a little perplexed and he was in a state of utter stupefaction as he approached Lady Yaleman.
“What’s wrong?”
“Something happened to the company!”
“What happened?”
The expression on Lady Yaleman’s face changed immediately.
Yuma gulped nervously and said, “For the past couple of days, the company’s supply chain had been under strain, so I followed my usual procedure of applying for a loan with the bank. My subordinate just called to say that something’s gone wrong with the loan! The bank has just rejected our loan application!”
“What?”
Lady Yaleman really did not expect things to turn south so fast.
“What did you use as collateral?” Lady Yaleman asked.
