Chapter 168

After a while, Yolanda arrived at the busiest commercial district in Dowonair. However, before she could enter the mall, she received a call from Brigham. "Ms. Henderson, have you been busy lately?" Brigham asked over the phone. Ever since Yolanda left abruptly after being doubted and insulted by Jeremy and Cianna, Brigham hadn't dared to call her for days. Even though Jeremy regretted his behavior deeply and kept pushing Brigham to help him find an opportunity to apologize to Yolanda, Brigham understood Yolanda's temperament fairly well by then. Given how Jeremy and Cianna had acted before, the fact that Yolanda didn't hold it against him by extension was already an act of generosity on her part. So, Brigham had waited until he was sure Yolanda had cooled off before reaching out to her. "If you have something to say, just say it." Yolanda's tone was somewhat indifferent. She could guess why Brigham was calling, but she genuinely didn't have time to deal with other people's issues at the moment. Brigham cleared his throat awkwardly before speaking. "Ahem… Well, Jeremy would like to apologize to you in person. He acted out of impulse last time. "He and Cianna have been reflecting on their behavior ever since, and they both feel terrible about doubting your medical skills. Could you possibly…" Yolanda was about to refuse when she suddenly noticed a familiar figure. It was her current father—Harold! At this hour, Harold was supposed to be out of town on a business trip. So, why was he here? Yolanda watched as Harold entered Union Bank. She had learned by chance that this bank was actually part of the Granger family's business holdings. After a moment of thought, she responded to Brigham. "Tell Jeremy I'm at Union Bank in the mall in the commercial area right now." "Got it!" Brigham hadn't expected Yolanda to agree so quickly and immediately responded enthusiastically. "I'll let Jeremy know right away." With that, Brigham hung up. Yolanda then crossed the street and headed toward Union Bank. When she entered, she glanced around and spotted Harold in the loan department. From where she stood, she could see that he seemed to be hesitating about something. But in the end, he pushed open the office door in front of him and stepped inside. Once the office's glass door closed, Yolanda noticed the nameplate that read, "Isaiah Rowse—Credit Manager". If Harold was sneaking around in the loan department, it likely meant that Henderson Group's finances were in serious trouble. And so, Yolanda walked straight to the loan department. At that moment, Harold was sitting in front of Isaiah, speaking with a slightly nervous tone, "Mr. Rowse, we've worked together for a long time. I really need this loan! "Henderson Group's cash flow is in serious trouble right now. If the loan doesn't get approved, production will have to shut down by next week." Compared to Harold's anxious demeanor, Isaiah seemed completely at ease. "Mr. Henderson, I understand your situation. However, after our bank's assessment, Henderson Group has been classified as the most high-risk client. There's no way we can approve a 200-million-dollar loan to you." Isaiah's words were blunt, leaving no room for negotiation. Harold took a deep breath and pleaded earnestly, "Mr. Rowse, can't you make an exception this time?" You know me. I would never do something like running off with the money. "Besides, my roots are here in Dowonair. My wife and children are all here. There's absolutely no risk lending to me!"
