Chapter 228 Hugh frowned. âWhy did this issue suddenly come up? I haven't heard about any issue
recently that would cause a supply issue...â
âI am also not too clear about it. We have two projects that are critical and approaching the
deadline. As we had previously allocated more effort toward the Dickinson International project,
these two projects have been slightly delayed,â explained Sadie. âBut wouldn't it be okay if it was
just a slight delay?â Kayson probed further. Sadie replied, âWell, under normal circumstances, that
would be alright. However, ever since Apex Investment invested in Wolfenden Corp., we have been
under public scrutiny. A small mistake or issue could be blown up into a big issue and affect
Wolfenden Corp.'s reputation.â Hugh frowned even more. âI believe that the lack of supply by all our
suppliers is most likely an elaborate plan by someone to sabotage Wolfenden Corp.â
âThere is a high probability that what you say is true. Apex Investment has had a smooth sailing
journey for quite some time now. There are quite a number of people who are waiting for Mr.
Carlson to make the wrong step. Wolfenden Corp. has been made a target.â Sadie agreed with
Hugh.
Hugh suggested to her, âPerhaps you should find other suppliers. If that is not possible, perhaps you
should try sourcing materials from another region.â
Sadie nodded. âDad feels the same as well. That is why he stayed back tonight to call various
suppliers.â
Kayson just sat quietly, listening to both of them talk. Despite not making much noise, he made a
mental note of what they said. After dinner, Kayson had another round of chess with Hugh before
finding an opportunity to get out of the house and make a phone call. âUncle Michael, do you know
anything about what is happening to Wolfenden Corp.?â asked Kayson. âYes, I do. I was planning to
have a chat with you tomorrow to discuss the issue. I'm just curious, did you cross paths with Joseph
Wadley?" asked Michael.Kayson was confused. âDo you mean Joseph, the richest person in
Clouspring?â âYes. Actually, I was able to trace that he is
responsible for the attacks against Wolfenden Corp.â said Michael. Kayson frowned and said with an
unhappy tone, âActually, I do not have any direct conflict with him. I cannot believe that he would
do such a thing.â Kayson then proceeded to share what had transpired at Bwell Therapeutics this
afternoon.Michael worriedly said, âI did not imagine he would be in the same
clique as Sir Osborn. However, since Joseph has put out the word, I'm afraid that it
will be hard for Wolfenden Corp. to find a supplierâ Kayson asked, âWhy is that?â
âJoseph is currently the richest man in Clouspring. Naturally, he is involved in almost all
the different industries. For the building material suppliers, Wolfenden Corp. is not their only client.
They still have other clients that they can earn from. On the other hand, if these building material
suppliers offend Joseph, it is possible that Joseph might use his influence to prevent them from
having any business at all,â explained Michael. Kayson understood what Michael was saying. âSo, if I
settle this matter with Joseph, the problem will be gone, right?â âKayson, I advise you not to act
harshly on this matter. If Joseph dies, there will be a serious investigation. How about this? Let me
contact some other building material suppliers from out of town and see how to help Wolfenden
Corp. get through this tough time,â suggested Michael. Was Joseph Wadley untouchable? Kayson
did not think so. But since Michael had already advised him on this issue, Kayson decided not to
rush things. After ending the call, Kayson headed upstairs to rest.
Sadie had already gotten used to Kayson going into her room to sleep. As such, she wasn't
surprised when he entered and just continued to play with her phone. Just as Kayson was about to
lay the mattress on the floor and lie down, there was a knock on the door. Beatrice asked from
outside, âSadie, may I come in?" Sadie was shocked. âGive me a minute, Mom!â She looked at
Kayson and rushed him. âFaster! Pack your things up!âKayson immediately folded back his mattress
and stored it in the closet before going to open the door.Beatrice walked in with a plate of fruits.
"Since the both of you are still not going to bed, do have some fruits.â Although Kayson and Sadie
had normal expressions, Beatrice took a look at the closet, smiled, and walked out of the door.After
eating the fruits, Kayson was just about to lay out his mattress and lie when Beatrice came again
Kayson stored his mattress back in the closet.This happened another three to four times. Kayson
frowned, âDo you think they've noticed what we are doing?â Sadie was unhappy about it. With a
frustrated tone, she replied, âHow would i know? Fine. Don't lay out the mattress anymore. Come up
on the bed, and let's sleep.â
