Failing to secure any investment was bad enough, but he had also managed to send his own mother to the hospital in a fit of rage. Frustrated, he raked his fingers through his hair.
Suddenly, a thought struck him, and his eyes lit up.
That's right! While the Sloan family might be out of reach, surely the Sherwood family was still an option? Milford had only recently married Tamara, and everyone knew he indulged her every whim. The last time the Sloan family faced a financial crisis, it was the Sherwood family's capital injection that had saved them.
In his desperation, Clive conveniently ignored the fact that Tamara and Milford were currently in a cold war over the situation with Yvonne.
Clutching at this final lifeline, Clive immediately dialed Tamara’s number.
The call connected quickly, and Tamara’s gentle voice came through the receiver. "Clive? It’s so late. Is something wrong?"
Clive took a deep breath, trying to keep his voice steady. "Tamara, is this a good time? I have a favor to ask."
Tamara responded obediently, "Tell me, Clive. If there's anything I can do to help, I will!"
Clive felt a wave of warmth, and his tone softened. "Tamara, you know, because of Leilani, the Fulton family has withdrawn their capital from Glitz Entertainment. We urgently need funds to keep operations running. I wanted to ask... could the Sherwood family help us out?"
There was silence on the other end of the line for a few seconds.
Tamara hesitated. Clive was well aware that ever since Yvonne had exposed her crimes at the wedding, the entire Sherwood family treated her with disdain. How could they possibly hand over money to invest in Glitz Entertainment? However, it was clear that Clive was too panicked to think rationally.
