Gina nodded repeatedly. “For sure.”
Greg’s expression turned serious just then. “By the way, I recently started a cosmetics company. The technical consultant is a friend who studied abroad in Minerva, and all the equipment was imported from there. Once the products hit the market, it would definitely take Riverton by storm, but my friend holds too much stake, and I’m worried I can’t control the company in the future. I’m hoping you can help me.”
Gina did not expect Greg to actually ask her for help, and she said without hesitation, “Oh, what are you saying? You just have to tell me if you need help, and I’ll do all I can.”
Greg sighed in turn. “I’d like to borrow some money to help me leverage against my friend’s shares–you can be a shareholder too. We will both be able to call the shots in the company with that.”
Gina was shocked, surprised that Greg would give her shares–it was as if they were already married.
Moreover, he first helped cure Helen’s face and now helped arrange an engagement between Peter and Janet. Was there any reason she should not help?
“How much do you need, Greg?” Gina asked seriously.
“At least twenty million,” Greg replied gravely. “You don’t have to give that much–I can come up with an idea for the rest.”
“Wait here,” Gina promptly ran upstairs, returning downstairs soon enough with a debit card, and directly handed it to Greg. “There’s ten million here. You can use it for now–my birthday is the PIN.”
“N–No! I can’t take this money,” Greg promptly threw up his hands in refusal.
That only convinced Gina further that he was trustworthy.
“You have to take it—we are family,” she insisted before turning toward Helen. “You have ten million too, don’t you?”
“What?” Helen was taken aback. “Yeah, but those are funds for subsequent parts of the West City Project…”
“Oh, but Mr. Marsh needs it now,” Gina snapped. “How could you be so ungrateful after he treated your face?”
Greg quickly said, “No, Helen shouldn’t use that money since she needs it…”
Nonetheless, Gina relentlessly pestered Helen. “Greg isn’t saying he won’t pay you back either. Once the company goes public and the share price take off, you can use it when the time comes…”
Helen was left in an awkward situation.
However, Greg did treat her face and help Peter propose–their family owed him, and he had at least proven his character.
After some thinking, she decided to lend Greg the money.

Once he had the money, Greg immediately assured her, “Don’t worry, Helen. I’ll definitely return the money once the company goes public.”
Helen simply smiled and nodded.

After Frank sent Vicky home in the evening, he returned to Verdant Hotel in her car.
“Mr. Lawrence?” Someone called out as soon as he aligned.
He turned to see that it was Dan Zimmer in a black suit, looking spirited.
Janet was following him, dressed in a light blue gown and wearing light makeup along with l*pstick, looking less a healer than the attractive girl next door.
Frank could not help staring at them and exclaimed in awe, “Looking sharp, Mr. Zimmer! And you look beautiful in that dress, Janet!”
