A commotion was brewing in the Collins family back in Athalia, Aurelia's home country. Aurelia's brother Paul had suffered a setback, and his company was on the verge of bankruptcy.
The Collins couldn't ask Mark for more money because he had made it clear that the money he had given them was sufficient. They couldn't go because they had sold a family member.
Paul had attempted to borrow money from his friends, but he had failed miserably. There was only one person he could borrow from, and he was ashamed that he hadn't spoken to his younger sister in over five years.
The entire family had witnessed Aurelia's transformation from quail to phoenix. The entire family was watching a video of Aurelia and the old lady selling dumplings that had gone viral on the internet.
