Lucy was momentarily stunned when she heard that.
“Oh, Gwen, are you two okay?”
Gwendolyn glanced at the woman who was staring at her from the side.
“I’m fine. They are just after the money. We can leave once we repay the debt. I’m sorry for causing trouble for you, Luce.”
It was already bad enough that Melanie was sick. Now, this thing happened.
Gwendolyn was feeling very guilty. She blamed herself for being ignorant and for causing trouble even though she had good intentions.
Of course, she would not ask Lucy for more than five hundred thousand. Not even a cent more.
“It’s all my fault, Gwen. You did it to help me, didn’t you? I’ll take a loan and borrow some money. Don’t worry. I’ll gather enough money for you.”
Gwendolyn did not dare tell her that she was still short of one million seven hundred and thirty thousand. Any amount, no matter how small, was good enough.
As long as Juliette was safe and by her side, she would face the future one day at a time.
Lucy’s expression was grim after she hung up.
With Gwendolyn and Juliette’s current situation, she was left with no choice.
She would sign the contract tomorrow and sell the house at a low price.
With her phone in her hand, Lucy thought about who she could ask a favor. However, no one would be willing to lend her money anymore.
She only had two thousand now, which was far lesser than the five hundred thousand that Gwendolyn needed.
Suddenly, her eyes lit up, and she dialed Lucas’ number.
“Hello?” A lazy voice came from the other end of the line. “Missed me?”
When Lucy heard his voice, she remembered the devilish man who was rough in bed.
She pursed her lips hesitantly but still requested shamelessly, “Mr. Gomez, can you lend me six hundred thousand? I need it urgently.”
She had asked for his bone marrow, and now, she was asking for his money. It felt like she was taking advantage of him.
