Angela's POV
Mum and I sprang up also and looked up hesitantly at dad as he ended the call.
“Honey, what's wrong? Dad, what happened?” Mum and I asked at the same time.
“It is Morgan chase bank, they are taking over our assets if we don't come with a plan in three days “ Dad said and I shivered.
What?
I am well versed on my parent's investing history and I know much their assets are worth and now a crazy bank wants to take over all of it? Why are banks this dubious? You would think they are your best partner until you go bankrupt.
“They are not doing that? How could they even think of that?” I fumed.
“We don't have money to keep to our own side of the contract Angie, they are entitled to have them” mum said and immediately burst into tears.
Goodness! When was the last time my mother cried?
My daddy ran to her side and held her tightly while I exited the room to think.
✅Some hours later.
I was sitting by the pool, staring at the blue waters and thinking very deeply. My mind was racing badly and I was almost having panic attacks.
This is a very bad development to our family. The world would laugh at us. Imagine changing from a multi billionaire company penniless one. How does one even recover from that?
Going bankrupt in a country like america especially when you have been known for wealth is not a good development, I know that. It is better to have never been rich.
I had thought of joining the company after I get my PhD. Maybe next year or the next only for this to happen. I have my online marketing company and I also help businesses with their cyber work.
So it is shameful that my parents were duped by a cyber officer. I hope Mr Steve keeps running forever or else, I had better not got a hold of him.
I called my siblings hours before and told them about the new development and they have been has worried as I am. Like me, they do not work with the company. They all have businesses and jobs they do.
None of us has really been interested in finance even though our parents tried to influence our career choices. It was only me that went to the commercials just because I want to please my parents, perhaps it is because I am the last child.
As much as I don't like being controlled, I also try to listen to my parent's wishes. Maybe that is why I took the most risky decision I have ever taken in my life.
I was scrolling through my phone, reading articles on articles about how to prevent bankruptcy when I heard a loud voice from indoors. It was my screaming.
“Please don't do this to me” he kept shouting and I rushed indoors to see what was happening.
To my horror, my mother was sprawled on the floor, u
nconscious and moving.
Goodness gracious!
