Understood, Nathan,â Sonny replied, leaving immediately.
Since it was late, the Augason Groupâs milk powder factory was closed, and they found the person in charge for information without being noticed by other people.
Nathan suspected the milk powder but kept it private to avoid interference.
Hence the nighttime investigation.
While waiting, Nathan made coffee.
Kyson smiled at his noble demeanor.
âIs there anything you canât do?â
The office was filled with a faint aroma of coffee.
âA man with ambition succeeds.
Thereâs nothing I canât do if I set my mind to it.
â Nathan poured a glass of coffee for Kyson and added, âItâs late and easy to get sleepy.
Want some?â
Kyson accepted.
âThanks.
â
The coffee tasted good.
Nathan asked, âYou were involved in this from the start.
Are you aware of any suspects?â
Kyson looked up.
âAre you sure you want to hear my doubts?â
âIâll consider your concerns but might not fully agree with them.
Donât worry,â Nathan said while toying with the fine coffee cup with his graceful fingers.
His dark eyes looked stern and cold.
Following Nathanâs words, Kyson organized his thoughts and explained everything.
âNow that weâve confirmed thereâs an issue with the milk powder from the used cans, thereâre three possibilities after filtering out the rest.
First off, the milk powder came from a factory owned by the Augason Group.
Itâs possible that during the manufacturing process, the batch meant for the Payne family was given special attention by the group.
Some top executives at Augason Group might have a grudge against your family and purposely added something to the milk powder during production.
â
Nathan listened quietly.
His eyes looked deep and unreadable.
After Kyson laid out the first possibility, Nathan responded calmly, âI hold the majority of shares in the Augason Group, and the CEO there used to be my subordinate.
After leaving the military, he chose to take over his familyâs business.
Heâs very thorough.
Since they produce milk powder for infants, heâs extremely strict about the factoryâs internal management.
That was why I decided to go with their milk powder.
Iâm most comfortable with their products as they are the safest.
Yes, the milk powder they delivered for Colby and Destinee each month was given special attention by the group, but it was personally overseen by the CEO.
The Likelihood of something going wrong in production is very slim.
I know him well.
He wouldnât dare do something like that.
â
Kyson nodded thoughtfully.
âIf youâre completely confident in the factory, then thereâs another possibility.
Someone in the Payne family might be trying to harm Colby.
Since both you and Lucinda have busy schedules and are often out, it would be easiest for someone within the family to act.
â
Nathan didnât respond.
He traced the coffee cup with his slender fingers, seeming to be deep in thought.
Kyson raised his blue eyes and watched Nathanâs expression closely.
He then went on, âI recall that recently, you sent Colby and Destinee to stay at Nortonâs place for a while.
Zenia and the baby supplies were brought to Nortonâs villa together, werenât they?â
Nathanâs brow furrowed.
His grip on the cup tightened and his expression grew more serious.
âYou think my grandfather is involved?â
âNo, I wouldnât dare suggest that.
Even though Norton is retired, he has built a solid reputation over the years.
He wouldnât harm his own great-grandchildren.
â
Kyson went on, âBut we canât dismiss the possibility that someone else in the Payne family did it.
For instance, under the pretense of visiting Norton, someone could have secretly swapped Colby and Destineeâs milk powder.
â
Nathan became quiet again.
Nathan had taken the babies to his grandfather because he feared Lucindaâs mania might harm them.
