Chapter 701: Chapter 701: Character Problem (7)

"So, my husband went to J Country this morning and won’t be back for a week. He said he’ll have dinner with you guys after he’s back. What do you think, is that okay?" Carolline Ruiz’ tone was quite humble.

"..." Jasmine Ruiz didn’t know what to say for a moment. She thought it could be arranged today but now it’s going to be delayed for a week. And Christopher Lopez’s matter is so urgent.

So, Jasmine Ruiz was thinking that maybe Carolline just doesn’t want to help at all. Otherwise, why would Bryan Hawkins go abroad at this time?

"Is this a refusal to help?" Christopher Lopez was also listening carefully to Jasmine Ruiz’s conversation. Since Jasmine Ruiz had it on speaker mode, he naturally heard everything Carolline said.

"Carolline, if you don’t want to help, forget it. Don’t make such a ridiculous excuse. You won’t even help your own family. I never thought you were such a heartless and ungrateful person. Fine, if you don’t want to help, that’s it. I, Jasmine Ruiz, don’t need to beg you." After saying that, Jasmine hung up the phone.

"Ah, why did you have to do that?" Seeing Jasmine Ruiz angry, Christopher Lopez hurriedly stepped forward to comfort her.

Jasmine Ruiz was really angry, as she felt that this was just an excuse from Carolline. "Carolline has always fallen short in every aspect compared to me since we were young. This time, it’s just your bad luck. Otherwise, when would it be our turn to ask her for help?"

"Alright, don’t worry. You just focus on giving birth to our child. I’ll think of something else. Since they don’t want to help, we can’t force them, right?" Christopher Lopez tried to persuade her while already having an idea in his mind. He had rejected Scarlett Cervantes with great dignity yesterday, but now it seemed that he really needed to ask her for help.

"But didn’t you already think of other solutions before?" It was precisely because there were no other methods that she had swallowed her pride and asked Carolline for help. Otherwise, Jasmine Ruiz wouldn’t need to seek help from Carolline, who was inferior to her at every turn.

She never expected Carolline to marry Bryan Hawkins and really couldn’t figure out how she had stepped on such good luck.

"Mm, there’s always a way out. Just trust me, focus on your pregnancy." Christopher Lopez held Jasmine Ruiz in his arms, comforting her softly.

"..." Jasmine didn’t know what to say. Christopher has been extremely nice to her since they met at the Ruiz family, and she wanted to help him this time despite how humiliating it was to ask Carolline for help.

"What’s really going on with you two?" Bonnie Jenkins had been listening outside the door for a while, but couldn’t fully understand the situation. One thing was clear, though: Christopher Lopez was in trouble, and Jasmine Ruiz was seeking help from Carolline.

Neither of them spoke, and Bonnie Jenkins got anxious. "What happened? Why do you have to ask Carolline for help? Did Carolline and her husband refuse to help?"

"Carolline said Bryan Hawkins went abroad on a business trip." Jasmine Ruiz stood up and, since she couldn’t hide the situation any longer, briefly explained Christopher Lopez’s predicament.

"Why didn’t you mention this earlier? Christopher, you’re our son-in-law. If you’re short of money, you can ask your dad and Raymond Ruiz first. Why go to Carolline and endure more problems?" Bonnie Jenkins thought simply. She never wanted to deal with Carolline and her family again in her life.

"The money from our family together wouldn’t be enough." Jasmine Ruiz sighed. The investment in Real Estate was not a small amount; otherwise, would she need to look at Carolline’s face?

"Christopher, since we’re asking for help now, why don’t we just wait for an extra week then? What do you think?" Jasmine thought about it and decided to compromise. They really didn’t have any leverage to be proud of now.
