In the evening, she visited Darren for dinner and confided in Eloise about Paisleyâs illness and the music studio dilemma,
Darren, seeing Renaâs distress, turned to Eloise and made a decision, âLetâs support her, Give Rena the funds,â
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.
âPaisley 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.
Itâs only the two of us, and we donât need such a large place.
We can move into a smaller apartment.
It will be sufficient for us.
â
Initially resistant, Rena eventually relented.
The decision was finalized by Darren, and Rena couldnât shake off the guilt she felt.
Eloise spoke softly, trying to ease her stepdaughterâs burden.
âYou are our only child, Rena.
If we donât support you, then whom shall we give these resources to?â
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, âGive 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.
â
Rena nodded, her heart filled with gratitude for Paisleyâs unwavering support.
Unable to contain her excitement, Rena blurted out, âOnce I earn enough money, Iâll buy you a magnificent house.
â
Eloiseâs eyes twinkled with joy as she replied, âYour father and I will 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 Paisleyâs figure had noticeably diminished, her battle with illness taking its toll.
Seeing Paisley reach for more coffee, Rena gently halted her, concern etched on her face.
âPlease refrain from drinking this, considering your delicate health,â she implored.
Paisley offered a tender smile, appreciating Renaâs care.
Rena handed Paisley a check, totaling twelve million dollars, with an additional half ea million dollars as a gesture of goodwill.
However, Paisley refused to accept it, her pride and independence shining through.
Rena clasped Paisleyâs frail hand, her voice filled with unwavering devotion.
âIâll be here, waiting for your return,â she whispered.
Deciding to hold onto the shares temporarily, Rena vowed to transfer them all back to Paisley upon her homecoming.
As Rena reflected on Paisleyâs situation, She realized that Paisley had neither a substantial family nor a spouse and children.
She had no one and nothing to worry about even if she were to die.
After Rena said that however, Paisleyâs nose twitched and she scolded with a smile, âBed girl, I was thinking that! would find a handsome man abroad and wouldnât come back.
But youâre holding me back with the music studio now.
