Master Odell’s Secret Ex-wife

The Houstons?

Decker's expression shifted.

He had already briefly told Clarice about the ongoing situation at Rockwell Corporation, and she had given her word that she would ask her father to help.

However, just like Master Rockwell said, their current predicament was far too great and nearly impossible to recover from. It was a tall task even when considering the vast amount of resources the Houstons had at their disposal. They may have to empty their vault just to help.

Would Clarice's father even agree to help?

That was when Master Rockwell advised, “Decker, why don’t you talk to Clarice? I know she cares a lot about you. Certainly, she will try to persuade her father to help us.”

Decker frowned and said in a troubled voice, "Dad, I think her father might not help even if she threatened suicide right in front of her.”

Although Clarice was the eldest daughter of the Houstons, she also had two younger brothers who took higher priority.

Another factor was that he knew her father initially planned to wed her to another man. Her father had always been less than pleased about the partner his daughter had chosen for herself.

Master Rockwell had considered this factor too, but with the way things were… He clenched his walking stick tightly. His age was truly beginning to show in the form of countless creases on his forehead. He said gravely, "If the Houstons won’t help us, we have no choice but to declare bankruptcy."
