How could she know it wouldn't work unless she tried?
People tend to be this way, not giving up easily, and Bella Scott knew she had that mentality.
Even with little hope, she still wished someone could help her.
In her eyes, asking for a loan was not a shameful thing, especially since she would borrow with the intention of paying it back, right?
Thus convincing herself, she said to Edward Anderson, "Come with me; I have something to ask you."
Edward silently followed her, and they stopped in a quiet place to talk.
"Do you know the recent situation of Sunrise Industries?" Bella went straight to the point.
"Yes," Edward replied briefly.
"Do you have enough funds to help Sunrise Industries? I assure you that I will repay you once we are back on our feet," Bella said bluntly.
Edward was silent for a moment and then slowly shook his head.
He didn't explain his answer verbally, but his headshake ruled out all possibilities.
