Chapter 226 Only Ryder Clark Can Help!

"Well..."
Karen was about to answer when she suddenly saw Ryder next to her.
Her face that was covered in bruises, immediately darkened, and she scolded angrily, "What are you doing here, you worthless person? Do you want to see our family's misfortune?"
Sarah grumbled discontentedly, "Can you please stop picking on Ryder at a time like this? What exactly happened? Hurry up and tell us!"
Karen sneered at Ryder and turned her head. With a pitiful look on her face, she said to Sarah, "My daughter, your little brother Kai lost some money in a business deal and owes two million US dollars to a high-interest loan company.
"The loan company came here looking for the money today. I don't have the money. I can't even pay for the damages to the wedding planning company car I crashed into.
"This angered the loan company, so they smashed our house! They said that if we don't come up with the money by midnight tonight, they’ll amputate one of little Kai's arms and one of his legs!
"You’re his older sister, you can't just ignore such a big problem! I'm begging you as your mother, find a way to come up with two million dollars and save Kai, okay?"
Sarah turned pale when she heard that.
She hadn't been in contact with her family for a few days, and something terrible had happened.
However, on the other hand, her confusion far outweighed her shock as she said, "Kyle took 5 million dollars in start-up capital from me and Ryder less than a week ago, but now he’s lost it all and has even borrowed 2 million dollars in high interest loans? I just can't understand what he did to end up like this."
Karen avoided eye contact and said, "I...I have no idea! Oh dear! Don't ask so many questions, just get the money quickly! It's already 8 o'clock, there are only four hours until midnight! I'm afraid Kyle will suffer!"
Sarah Johnson grew anxious.
After all, Kyle was her brother, and she was very worried since this was a life-or-death situation,!
She looked at Ryder, wanting to seek his opinion.
Ryder spoke calmly, "I don't care about anything else, but does the promissory note I wasn’t supposed to know about still count?"
Karen furrowed her brow, "What are you talking about? What doesn't count?"
Ryder replied, "Back when Kyle borrowed 5 million dollars from me for investment, I made it clear that if he made money, he only needed to repay the principal and we wouldn't ask for any interest or profit from the investment.
"But if he failed, tit would be another matter. At that time, Kyle guaranteed that if the investment failed, he would repay us double the amount. You also promised, with your hand on your heart, that you would repay us even if you had to sell your house, car, and jewelry. Now, are you prepared to repay us?"
"Huh?"
Karen’s eyes widened.
She didn't think that Ryder would refuse to help and ask for money instead.
Ryder continued, "You can't play dumb. I have the promissory note that was signed at the time, and it’s legally valid!"
"You..."
Karen was furious.
Of course, she still remembered that, and she had personally signed the promissory note!
But at that time, it was a reflection of her absolute confidence in Kyle. She thought he would make a lot of money in investments and she could to buy a villa. She didn’t know that it would fail so miserably?
So she quickly turned to Sarah and said, "Look at this heartless person. Our family is desperate, and he still wants to argue with me over such trivial matters! There's no point in being with someone like him! He should leave!"
Sarah frowned, unhappy at hearing that.
There was a faint smile on Ryder’s lips as he said, "Oh? Since you think this is a trivial matter, I suppose you don't want to go to court! To save trouble, give me the money quickly! I'll take the money and leave, and you'll never see me again!"
Karen was so frustrated by this argument that her chest heaved up and down. She retorted, "Fine! It's just a little money, what's the big deal if I compensate you? When my son, Kai, makes big money in the future..."
Halfway through her sentence, she realized that her son, whom she always praised, was in a life-threatening situation. What was the point of talking about making money in the future?
So she had no choice but to plead with Sarah mournfully. "My dear daughter, you're my only hope now. I admit that I haven't been fair to you in certain things over the years. But you’re my flesh and blood, and you and Kai are siblings with a blood relationship. Can't you save him? Please, if you promise to save him, I guarantee that I’ll never make the same mistakes again. I’ll mend my ways, just trust me, okay?"
It had to be said that this emotional plea had a significant impact on Sarah, who had a kind heart.
Sarah, with teary eyes, said, "I understand, Mom. I’ll find a way to save him. Please don't worry, okay?"
Karen nodded repeatedly. "Good, good!"
At this moment, Sarah turned to Ryder, feeling a bit embarrassed, and said, "About this..."
Ryder raised his hand to interrupt Sarah. "I can help with the busy work, Sarah! But I need to clarify certain things first!"
Sarah made a sound of agreement and didn't continue speaking.
Karen glanced at Ryder cautiously. "What does this have to do with you? You don't need to intervene! My daughter will do it!"
Sarah J then spoke, "Mom, honestly, I really can't help with this. I'm afraid only Ryder can help now!"
"What? I..."
Karen started to question Sarah, but when she saw Sarah's serious expression, she knew that Sarah was not lying!
In reality, Sarah truly couldn't help with this. Although she was the CEO of a company that was worth billions, she had very little cash on hand, unless she sold her shares.
However, selling the shares was a very complicated process and it was impossible to come up with 2 million in cash before 12 o'clock!
So, she thought that only Ryder had the ability to accomplish this task.
Although she was not very sure why she was so confident in Ryder...
Karen looked at Ryder with a complex expression, a bit impatient as she said, "Just get to the point, don't waste any more time and get Kai out!"
Ryder Clark, unfazed by Karen's tone, calmly spoke, "First things first, I want to know if you were involved in the recent online scandal with Sarah's 'private photos.' I just want to hear the truth. If a single word is false, I won't help. I’m busy."
"Um..." Karen looked surprised and embarrassed. she glanced at Sarah Johnson somewhat guiltily. She didn’t dare lie and nodded reluctantly...
