Chapter 523: Chapter 522: Better off Asking Joanna Lawrence

"Anyway, Annie is already with David. She’s right, if David’s heart isn’t with Joanna, he might end up looking for another woman sooner or later. His choice to be with Annie is at least beneficial to the Lawrence family."

"Annie, don’t say too much."

After advising her husband, Rose Liall gently spoke to her daughter, "Your dad is going through a tough time, so he might speak harshly. He’s still your father, so don’t take it too seriously. Annie, you’ve been unconscious for a day and a night, so you might not know that our family is facing some troubles now."

"Several of your dad’s previous investments have gone wrong, and the money can’t be recovered. The projects are now stalled. We urgently need to invest more money to restart the projects, or the losses would be huge if they all fail."

"At this critical moment, you absolutely cannot break up with David Benington."

"Right now, he’s the only one who can help our Lawrence family."

"You don’t know, but your dad is already preparing to sell the house. But if we sell the house, where will we live in the future? Besides, even if we sell the house, the money wouldn’t be enough." Rose Liall wiped away her tears as she spoke.

Annie Lawrence was stunned and her face changed, "Sell the house?"

"Yes," Rose Liall said sadly, "Where else can we get so much money so quickly? We need several hundred million dollars, which you can’t provide."

Several hundred million dollars?

Annie Lawrence’s face turned pale: "Mom, are you suggesting I borrow several hundred million dollars from David?"

This amount of money wouldn’t be a big issue for the Benington family.

However, based on Annie’s understanding of David, he might not be willing to lend the money.

He might not have lent it before, and it’s even harder to say now.

David isn’t a stingy man; he had often bought her expensive gifts in the past.

But those expensive gifts paled in comparison to several hundred million dollars.

Rose Liall nodded: "He’s the only one who can help the Lawrence family now. He’s always been generous to you, and he should take responsibility for this incident. He must be feeling guilty now, so if you ask him, he won’t refuse."

Without thinking, Annie refused: "Mom, I’m sorry, but I can’t help."

She could already sense that David wanted to break up with her.

If she asked for money at this juncture, David might want to get away from her even sooner.

She absolutely couldn’t... let David know about the Lawrence family’s current situation.

"What?" Benjamin’s face darkened in anger, not expecting her to refuse. He shouted, "What do you mean, you won’t help?"

Annie Lawrence calmly said, "Dad, it’s not that I don’t want to help, but I can’t. You saw David’s attitude. If I hadn’t lost the baby, maybe there would be hope, but now..."

She scoffed, "He wants to dump your daughter, do you really think he’d be willing to give hundreds of millions to help the Lawrence family?"

Benjamin hesitated before he heard Annie continue, "Instead of asking me, you might as well ask Joanna. The man she’s with now is not simple, I think he could easily afford several hundred million dollars. Dad, you’ve supported her all these years, it’s time for her to repay you for raising her."

Rose Liall blinked and immediately chimed in, "Sir Darren, Annie is right. We met that man last time. He seemed very wealthy and highly valued Joanna. You’ve always been so good to Joanna. If you ask her, she definitely won’t refuse."
