Mia Linwood felt she had already explained all the pros and cons to her uncle, who was a businessman for whom profit was paramount.
So, she was sure that he would most likely change his mind.
However, all she received was: "How about I withdraw my investment, and you invest instead?"
Mia Linwood was at a loss for words, completely taken aback.
Amos Smith: "I'm busy. Is there anything else?"
Mia noticed her uncle's tone wasn't quite right, so she didn't dare to bother him further. But before hanging up the call, she couldn't help but whisper to him.
"Will you only let Bertha go if she finds a boyfriend?"
Amos Smith furrowed his thick eyebrows and warned her sternly.
"Mind your own business!"
Mia stared at her phone, which had been hung up on, in a daze.
What did her uncle's last words mean?
Did it mean he wasn't planning to let Bertha go?
With an anxious heart, she returned to the set. When she saw Bertha, she suddenly felt a pang of guilt.
[Couldn't convince him?]
