Chapter 136: Chapter 136

“Bella called in Mr. Charlie from manufacturing, the warehouse manager, the team leaders of the forth and fifth lines, and even the procurement head first thing this morning..”

Louisa gently touched her heart and asked, “And then?”

“Do you know why the company hasn’t seen any improvement after running for a whole year?”

At this point, Kenneth’s anger flared up again, and he found it hard to breathe.

“Easy, easy, tell me slowly…” Louisa had a hunch that something was off.

Kenneth endeavored to compose himself, “There are three fabric suppliers we collaborate with at our company, and the price per meter of fabric is approximately 80 dollars. However, the purchasing department head submitted a procurement amount of 150 dollars to the headquarters, pocketing the extra 70 dollars along with Mr. Charlie, the warehouse manager, the team leader of lines four and five, and some of the production workers.”

Louisa exclaimed in surprise, “Is that even possible?!”

“I’d let it slide if he only siphoned off $70, but the key is, he’s been doing this for a whole year! Bella checked, and the total amount involved in this scam is up to a million dollars!”

Louisa was shocked, “They actually conspired to do this!”

“Every month, the three fabric suppliers would wire him money, proving that he’s been taking kickbacks. He even admitted it…”

Kennish was so furious his heart ached, “Not only that, from a hundred–meter length of fabric, we could make at least seventy to eighty new products. But when it came to warehousing, only twenty to thirty were left. Do you know where the other fifty went?”

Louisa shook her head and Serena also indicated her confusion, both awaiting Kenneth’s continuation, “These guys, two months after the company was established, they opened an online store. If customers placed orders, they would take the goods to the nearby courier point for selling. If a customer ordered a lot at once, a courier would directly come to our company’s doorstep to pick up the goods!”

Louisa was stunned, “Aren’t these guys afraid of getting caught on camera?”

“They deleted the surveillance footage. They committed this crime as a gang, without any fear.”

Kenneth couldn’t believe it when he heard about it, but the evidence was solid, “Apparently, it was Bella who restored the surveillance and caught them in the act…”

Louisa was utterly shocked, “If not for Bella, how long were they planning to keep this up…‘

“Not just that, they also hoarded a lot of substandard fabric, producing identical styles to the company’s, affixing the company’s labels, and selling them elsewhere. Because the fabric was rough, a lot of people had skin allergies after wearing them. This has ruined the company’s reputation… The impact is massive!”

Louisa was taken aback upon hearing this revelation. No wonder the company struggled to make any profit for an entire year. It turned out these few individuals were scheming behind the scenes!

Meanwhile, Serena’s thoughts went to Arabella again. She deliberately brought her parents here today to play golf, but now the company has been embroiled in this matter, affecting her parents‘ mood.

Everything she did today seems futile!

She thought to herself: “Annoying Arabella, always entangling herself in so many things, disrupts my peace of mind from time to time!”

“Where’s Oscar then? Before Bella came to the company, he was the main person in charge! With such a thing happening under his management, is he really clueless?” Louisa pursued.

“They claim that everything was due to Oscar’s threats and enticements, but I’m not sure if that’s the truth…”

If there really is something wrong with Oscar, then the company’s losses.over the past year are not just as simple as a million dollars…

“Oscar is a key person at our headquarters, the reason we sent him there was because we trust his capabilities and integrity…” Louisa never thought that there would be such an issue, it seems Oscar can’t shirk his responsibility.
