Chapter: 373
She declared, "When I'm feeling good, I'll ask my dad for money. If you want to resolve your issues quickly, you'd better keep me happy. Understand?"
Joshua sneered to himself.
What gave her the right to threaten him?
He stayed silent, choosing instead to focus his gaze on her lower abdomen.
The Green family valued Lilliana deeply, and they would undoubtedly be even more protective of the child she carried.
It appeared he would need to take more drastic actions.
Joshua subtly added medication to Lilliana's regular supplements, and before long, his plan took effect. She ended up hospitalized due to a threatened miscarriage.
The Green family was thrown into chaos as a result.
Everyone rushed over to express their concern.
Lilliana was terrified, crying uncontrollably, while Joshua remained at her side, trying to comfort her.
Cedric's anxiety was clear on his face.
He pulled Joshua aside for a private conversation.
Before Cedric could speak, Joshua quickly took the blame. “Cedric, this is all my fault. Lilliana has been running around for my sake, and her worry caused her to nearly have a miscarriage."
Cedric furrowed his brows in response.
Unable to contain his anger, he reprimanded Joshua harshly.
Joshua accepted the scolding without complaint. "Cedric, if it helps, you can hit me to relieve your frustration."
Cedric wanted nothing more than to hit Joshua, but he recognized Lilliana's deep love for him, and he knew that such an action would only cause her distress.
Given the circumstances, Cedric had no choice but to ask, “How much do you need?"
A spark of satisfaction flickered in Joshua's eyes.
"Cedric, I'll figure it out on my own. I don't want your money," he replied.
Cedric scoffed, "Cut the act. Just tell me what you need!"
Joshua replied, "If you could provide a billion dollars, that would be perfect."
The look on Cedric's face changed.
In the past, he would have had no trouble providing that kind of money, but lately, Caden had put him in a tight spot.
Forget about a billion dollars; he doubted he even had 300 million available.
"I can offer you a maximum of 10@ million dollars," he stated firmly, making it clear there would be no negotiation. "You'll have to handle the rest on your own."
Joshua was left speechless.
After all his efforts, he had only secured 100 million dollars.
However, the journey ahead was Lengthy, and he wasn't in a hurry. He said respectfully, "Thank you, Cedric."
Now that he had secured some funds from the Green family, it was time for the Yates family to step up.
