“Money can be a solution to this predicament," Forrest suggested.

“How much does he want?"

No sooner had Divya finished her question than Irene chimed in, "We are financially drained. He has previously extorted us, exhausting our personal and company funds."

Forrest continued, "He seems to be interested in the Guzman family's assets. If cash isn't available, he suggested that the company's businesses be used to settle the debt."

"Is he planning to take over our family's wealth?" Divya asked, her temper flaring.

Forrest tried to soothe her, “Don't get agitated. Regardless of what happens to the Guzman family, I won't let you suffer any hardship.”

Touched by his sentiment, Divya threw herself into his arms, saying, “You are my only support now."

Forrest gently patted her shoulder, comforting her, “Don't be scared.

I'm right here with you."

After a moment's silence, he resumed, “Money is a mere earthly possession. The primary focus now is to free your dad. Even if we have to let go of some business, your company won't go under. Once your dad is released, he is more than capable of reviving the company. His rescue is the most crucial matter at hand."

“Yes, Mom," Divya agreed with his thoughts.

Irene seemed hesitant.

"Mom, Dad has been taken into custody. We have no idea if he's being mistreated. We need to secure his release as quickly as possible.

Also, in Dad's absence, you need to authorize some crucial decisions and paperwork," Divya pleaded.

Soon, Irene was convinced. After all, her top priority was rescuing her husband.

She turned to Forrest.

"Tell me, what should I do?"

A fleeting shadow of darkness crossed Forrest's eyes as he gravely responded, “There are some documents that require your signature."

"I'll sign them," Irene readily agreed.

She didn't even think too much.
