Chapter 689 Truly Unable to Help Emelie went back to her room to answer the phone. The caller was Charles.

Her voice was soft and gentle when she picked up the call. "How can I help you, Mr. Davis?" Charles's voice was hoarse, either from staying up for too many nights or smoking too much. "Ms. Pierce, are you still in Borealis City?" Emelie sighed with worry. "Yes, we chose the worst tto cto Borealis City. The snow hasn't stopped since we arrived, the roads are still iced over, and the cars can't move.

"I've heard that most places here have suspended work and school. We don't know when things will return to normal. It's really delaying our work." "Indeed. We're from the south, so we can't even imagine such heavy snow." Charles's tone was perfunctory, clearly not in the mood for idle chatter.

He got straight to the point. "Ms. Pierce, I have a bold request." Jodie made her a cup of black tea. It was rich and aromatic.

Emelie nodded in thanks, then took a sip. She asked in a more uplifting tone, "I see. What is it?" Charles's voice grew serious. "I was wondering if you have any liquid assets available at the moment. I'm encountering a bit of trouble and could use semergency funds. I can write an IOU note and pay you an interest. I'll make sure to repay you as soon as I sort things out after the New Year." "Oh, I see." Emelie raised an eyebrow. "How much do you need, Mr. Davis? I should have 15 million in my account. I can transfer that to you for the emergency. Given our relationship, we don't need to discuss interest." Her generous offer left Charles silent.

After a two-minute pause, he said, "Is 15 million the only amount you can spare, Ms. Pierce?" Emelie asked in a surprised tone, "Is 15 million not enough? Mr. Davis, you didn't commit a crime, did you?" "You're funny, Ms. Pierce. I'm just having a minor cash flow issue. I'll resolve it soon," Charles said. Emelie shook her head. "Although I'm a director at the Filo Group, I don't have that many shares, and the dividends I receive are limited. If you need more, I'm truly unable to help." She put down her cup and said, "You might want to ask Mr. Middleton, Mr. Swanson, or Mr. Collins. Given your relationship with them, they could probably offer you at least 30 million." Charles fell silent again. That was all he could do.

If he could borrow money elsewhere, he wouldn't have approached her. They both knew their relationship well enough to understand that their apparent friendliness was just a façade.

Emelie still remembered the wrongs they did to the Pierce family and the Hoven family. They were the main culprits. If Charles wasn't completely out of options, he wouldn't have sought help from her.

Emelie casually asked, "So, do you still need the 15 million, Mr. Davis?" A drop in the bucket was better than nothing.

Charles sighed. "Yes, I do. I appreciate your help, Ms. Pierce. When you return to Capebatt City, I'll thank you in person." "No need for that. By the way, the 15 million is actually the compensation I received after your cousin, Elena, framedback then." Then, Emelie hung up, leaving Charles stunned.

She went to the window and leaned against it, enjoying the sight of the snow.

Emelie told Jodie, "Call Charles in an hour and tell him that the bank's client manager requires in-person verification for such a large transfer, but I can't leave right now. So, the money can't be transferred for the tbeing." Jodie smiled. "Alright." An hour later, Charles received the disappointing news.

He was incredulous. "Is there such a regulation?"

"Yes, Mr. Davis. If you don't believe it, you can check with the bank om yourself." Jodie replied calmly. "Ms. Pierce truly wants to help, but she is genuinely unable to assist." Charles began to speak. "You"

Jodie interrupted him. "We were just informed that the power would be cut off soon, so further contact might be difficult! Let's leave it at that. I hope you can get through this difficulty. Goodbye." Charles shouted, "Hello? Hello!"

However, the call was already disconnected. When he tried calling back, the system said the phone was turned off. Charles threw his phone onto his desk in frustration.
