“To be honest with you two, your father really didn't give me much of an allowance.
He used to support me and Bella, but that was only when Bella was in school. After she started working, he stopped.
You can check the accounts if you don't believe me.
Brandon, Colin, if I had the money, why wouldn't I help get your father out?
But I really don't have any money. I'm not lying to you, I swear.”
Sabrina had said her piece, but Brandon didn't believe a word of it.
In fact, seeing her cry just irritated him more.
“Alright, Ms. Ward, stop crying.
If you won't contribute, we can't scrape the money together from the company right now either.
Company funds can't just be moved around freely.
We have no choice but to borrow the money from an outside source. But it will have to be borrowed in all four of our names, not just mine and Colin's.”
Bella's first reaction was, “Are we borrowing from a bank?”
Brandon said, “A bank? The company has already maxed out its line of credit for the year. We have to borrow from a private lender. As for the interest... yes, it's much higher than a bank's.
But what choice do I have? I can't come up with that much money. We can't just leave Dad in there, can we?”
Hearing this, the mother and daughter realized he was talking about taking out a high-interest loan.
A worried look naturally appeared in their eyes.
Sabrina said, “Brandon, you're the eldest. With your father gone, you should be the one to make decisions.
