His unwanted wife, the world’s coveted genius

Chapter 1491:

Still, he had been overwhelmed with solving his company’s problems, and that was the truth.

Holley was silent for a moment. When she finally spoke, her voice trembled, barely above a whisper. “Is the company’s situation really that bad? Is there truly no other way out of this?”

Baker let out a heavy sigh. “I am doing everything I can, Holley. I am trying to fix this. But I need time. So don’t make things more difficult for me, okay?”

“Okay,” Holley replied. “I will not trouble you again.” She understood the stakes—if Baker’s company collapsed, it would help neither of them. Their priority now was saving the Wright Group.

“Thank you,” Baker muttered, already reaching to end the call. “I’ll go see you once I have time, alright? For now, I have things to take care of. Goodbye.” The line went dead before Holley could reply.

Baker put away his phone. Standing beside him was Kylee.

He turned toward her, his tone turning serious. “Kylee, do you understand what I told you earlier?”

Kylee gave her father a reassuring look and nodded. “Do not worry, Dad. I understand… And I will help you.”

Baker exhaled quietly, the weight in his chest lifting just a little. “Alright then. Let’s go.” The two of them left the study and made their way down the hall toward Carola’s room.

When Carola saw the pair walk in together, her brows lifted ever so slightly in surprise. She sat straighter on the edge of the bed, looking at them. “What is going on? Do the two of you have something to tell me?”

Without missing a beat, Kylee hurried to her mother’s side, slipping an arm around hers, and sitting down beside her. “Mom,” she said, “Dad is really in trouble this time. Please help him…”

Carola’s eyebrows twitched slightly. She immediately understood what Kylee was talking about.

Baker also sat down on the other side of Carola. His voice was hoarse when he finally spoke. “Carola… I have hit a wall. For weeks now, I have been chasing after every possible way to save my company—pleading with banks, pulling strings, knocking on doors… But I’ve failed every time!”

After a pause, he continued, “No one is willing to help me, and no one dares to help me! Carola, the only person who can help me now is you! I am begging you. Help me this once. Please?”

Before Carola could answer, Kylee quickly jumped in to support him. “Yes, Mom, please. If anyone can fix this, it is you. With your resources, your contacts… There is still hope to save his company.”

She leaned in closer, tugging gently at her mother’s sleeve. “If you do not step in, the Wright Group will collapse. And if it does, you will not walk away unscathed, either. People will talk and laugh at you. They already are.” Kylee’s voice wavered. “And I am already the center of gossip, Mom. If the company falls, I will become the punchline to every joke in our circle. Please, help Dad and his company…” Her tone sounded pitiful.

Carola, however, remained unmoved. She sat perfectly still, her face a picture of composure.
