When Her Death Couldn't Break Him novel Chapter 1267

Chapter 1267 Asking For Money
“Lottie, when you have a moment later, could you explain things to him?” Cecilia asked.

“All right.”

Charlotte readily agreed.

After stepping outside, Eric chastised Marcus for unnecessarily dragging Cecilia into the situation.

“Marcus, I don't mean to be blunt, but have you considered how it would look if Cecilia were to do us this favor? People might assume I'm just a gold digger trying to latch onto a wealthy woman. They might label me as the other man, only interested in Cecilia for her money, even going so far as to pit her against her own husband.”

Marcus was somewhat speechless. <i>Well, your current one-sided infatuation with Cecilia is already morally questionable. </i>

“I understand. It won't happen again,” Marcus responded with a hint of resignation in his voice.

Eric nodded before asking, “Okay. Could you assist me in selling all my properties, both domestic and abroad, as soon as possible?”

He wanted to terminate his contract with Imminence Corporation as soon as possible and then go to work at Cecilia's company.

Marcus had no choice but to comply, but he still warned Eric, “Selling all your properties will only get you around a billion at most. You'll have to figure out another way to get the rest of the money.”

Eric had never considered relying on his parents for financial support, but he was then out of options. He had no choice but to call them.

Back then, he had made quite a name for himself and earned a substantial amount of money, a significant portion of which he had given to his parents.

Eric thought it would be easy to get the money. However, Alan wore a stern expression and asked, “What do you need so much money for? Is it for that married woman?”

“Dad, what are you talking nonsense about?”

“Am I talking nonsense? It's all over the news. They're saying you're involved with a woman who has a child. What on earth is going on? Instead of dating a decent girlfriend, you've chosen a woman who's already married and has a child. Let me tell you something. Neither your mother nor I will approve. If you want money, go ask that woman!” Alan abruptly hung up the phone after that.

Eric felt rather helpless, so he tried reaching out to some of his celebrity friends over the phone.

However, those so-called friends were merely fair-weather friends. Upon hearing the recent negative news, they flatly refused to lend him any money.

With a somewhat helpless look, Marcus gazed at him and said, “I still have two hundred million at my disposal, which I can lend to you.”
