Taking over Paisley's shares would require a substantial investment of around ten million dollars.

However, she was adamant about not seeking financial assistance from Waylen.

In the evening, she visited Darren for dinner and confided in Eloise about Paisley's illness and the music studio dilemma.

Darren, seeing Rena's distress, turned to Eloise and made a decision.

“Let's support her. Give Rena the funds."

Eloise retreated to her room to assess their financial situation.

They had several million dollars, but it fell short of the required amount.

Eloise had an idea, which she shared with Darren.

"Paisley is going through a difficult time, and both Rena and she have put in so much effort for the music studio. How about this? You and I can sell our apartment for approximately 20 million dollars. It's only the two of us, and we don't need such a Large place. We can move into a smaller apartment. It will be sufficient for us."

Initially resistant, Rena eventually relented

The decision was finalized by Darren, and Rena couldn't shake off the guilt she felt.

Eloise spoke softly, trying to ease her stepdaughter's burden.

“You are our only child, Rena. If we don't support you, then whom shall we give these resources to?"

Located in a prime area, their house garnered considerable interest from potential buyers

Within three days, a deal was struck, and preparations for the transfer of ownership were set in motion

As the Gordon family settled into their smaller house, Eloise handed Rena a bundle of ten million dollars and said, "Give this to Paisley.

And do me one more favor, dear. She has taken such good care of us all these years, so see what else we can help her with."

Rena nodded, her heart filled with gratitude for Paisley's unwavering support.

Unable to contain her excitement, Rena blurted out, "Once I earn enough money, I'll buy you a magnificent house."

Eloise's eyes twinkled with joy as she replied, "Your father and I wilt eagerly await the day you find us a grander abode."

With some money still in her possession, Rena arranged to meet Paisley at a cozy cafe.

It had been only a few days, yet Paisley's figure had noticeably diminished, her battle with illness taking its toll.
