Chapter 315 Intimacy

Jessica had come to Mr. Adams because of her family's dire situation. Her father's addiction to gambling had spiraled out of control, leaving their family drowning in debt.

He had borrowed an enormous sum—1.5 million usd—from loan sharks, only to lose it all in a desperate night at the casino.

When the loan sharks came to collect, her father had nothing to give. They beat him mercilessly, leaving him barely clinging to life. Jessica had only learned about it after he was admitted to the hospital.

Horrified and desperate, she pieced together the full story while her father recovered.

Jessica tried everything to help.

She reached out to friends and extended family, but no one had the money to lend—not in the exorbitant amount required, and certainly not within the one-month deadline.
