Chapter 286 The moment the expired sanitary napkins were discovered, everyoneâs gone when live ex immediately grabbed a pack and saw the expired date Julia Garcia immediately pressed, âWho was so careless as to buy expired prove the st finds out, the consequences will be severe.â
Everyone was silent.
Julia Garcia continued, âWho bought this brand?â
Alice held the napkin. âMy foundation bought this brand, but they were definitely sex expeedâ Sheâd specifically instructed them to buy costâeffective products, not needy for mone expensive.
Max sneered, âYou bought the expired napkins, and youâre still denying it? You entered for funds; thatâs why you bought cheap stuff.â
Alice looked at Julia Garcia.âIt wasnât just our foundation that bought this brand. How do we prove it was ours?â She wouldnât take the blame unjustly.
Julia Garcia nodded. âRight, we need to investigate thoroughly. Ms. Alice, donât worry, I wonât falsely accuse anyone.â
Max tried to continue her taunts, but Julia GarcÃa stopped her.
Alice turned around and didnât see Chloe. She asked Max âWhereâs Cobe? âYou splashed water on her; she went to the restroom. Looking for a scapegoat now? Ignoring Max, Alice texted the foundation director: [Who was in charge of buying the napkins? Where did they buy them?]â
Alice had a bad feeling. Sheâd expected Chloe to manipulate the accounts, take kickbacks. But what if the white lotus was that stupid and greedy?
Soon, a staff member brought another box. âMiss Garcia, we checked the sanitary napkins. This box is full of expired ones.â
An uproar filled the room.
Alice walked over and saw the label â her foundationâs name. She felt dizzy with anger. Sheâd been right.
Julia Garcia approached, her tone serious. âMs. Alice, charity supplies are not a trivial matter. If someone uses these defective napkins and gets hurt, what then?â
Alice took a deep breath. Iâm sorry. I just learned about this. Iâll investigate.â Julia Garcia sighed. Thatâs not something you can just investigate your way out of.â
Others chimed in.âExactly. We only partner with reliable organizations. You werenât even qualified to participate, but Miss Garcia recommended you.â
âBut some people donât appreciate it and buy expired goods. If this gets out, itâll be a huge scandal.â
Julia Garcia intervened. âAlright, quickly Alice was speechless; the evidence was undeniable.
everyone, letâs keep it down.â
Chapter 266 Mrs. Wilson spoke.âAlice, investigate whoâs responsible. Subordinates sometimes disobey orders.â
With Mrs. Wilson mediating, Alice nodded. âI will investigate.â
Max sneered. âI bet someone embezzled the funds. The money is frozen; where did she get the money for supplies?â
Alice looked at her coldly.âMax, she has legal consequences.â
âWhat? You did it, so you canât be criticized?â Max wouldnât miss this opportunity to taunt Alice. Julia Garcia pulled her sister aside.âMs. Alice, due to the problem with your supplies, you cannot participate in the joint event. Thatâs the rule.â
Alice nodded. âI understand Iâll leave.â
âTake the box of napkins back as evidence for your investigation.â Julia Garcia had the expired napkins repackaged and given to Alice.
Mrs. Wilson offered, âAlice, let me send you home. Itâs not safe for you to carry this alone.â âNo, I can manage.â Alice effortlessly lifted the box with one hand. Even Julia Garcia was surprised.âMs. Alice is quite strong.â
From this day on, Aliceâs foundation became a laughingstock.
Mrs. Wilson said, âJulia, this isnât Aliceâs fault. Sheâs not that kind of person. Isnât it inappropriate to dismiss her?â
âAuntie Wilson, itâs not that Iâm not helping, but itâs the rule. I canât make an exception for Alice.â Julia Garcia whispered, âAuntie Wilson, how do you know Ms. Alice? You seem close. âAlice and I just...clicked. At the auction, I wasnât feeling well, and she helped me. I know sheâs a good person.â Mrs. Wilson didnât tell the truth.
Julia Garcia still had doubts.âMs. Alice seems close to Garrett. When Jack was hospitalized, I saw her visiting him.â
âReally? They probably know each other.â Mrs. Wilson was uneasy. âCarry on. I have something to attend to.â
Julia Garcia watched Mrs. Wilson go, feeling uneasy. Mrs. Wilson knew Alice was the girl Jack was protecting, but she didnât tell her. Mrs. Wilson had favored her as a daughterâinâlaw, but things changed so quickly.
Alice probably still didnât know Jackâs know Jackâs identity. She still had Julia Garcia looked at Max.âWhereâs your assistant?â
chance.
âI donât know. Sheâs. never been here before; sheâs probably taking photos.â
âTell her about the expired napkins.â
Maxâs eyes then.â
lit up.âRight! I forgot. Chloe can spread the news. Letâs see how Alice acts arrogant Julia Garcia didnât explain further. Chloe had handed them a giftâwrapped opportunity.
Alice went directly to Ethanâs company. She wouldnât let this go.
Alice, carrying a large box, stormed into Land Corp. It wasnât her first time. The receptionist didnât stop her and immediately reported to the secretaryâs office.
Chapter 280 Alice went straight to Ethanâs office. Ethan was in a meeting. He yelled, âWhat are you doing here?â
âDidnât you support Chloe managing the funds? These are the supplies she bought!â Alice dumped the expired napkins on his desk.
