Chapter 278 Massive Discount

Reuben reported, “I’ve found it, Mr. Jordan. That woman is Ms. Shenton’s adoptive father’s sister. Their

interaction had been minimal, and she would only contact Bradley for money. Her motive for visiting

Ms. Shenton this time is crystal clear. It’s all about the money. We tried to determine the exact amount

they’re after, but they haven’t specified it yet.”

Reuben was taken aback by the significant cost involved. Still, he understood that Caroline wouldn’t

the original fabric. Please tell me you haven’t altered the order without my consent.”

The caller chuckled, “You’re overthinking it. Our factory prioritizes integrity. You can inspect the product

upon delivery.”

Caroline said, “If the fabric is defective, returning it will delay my customer’s orders.”

“Don’t worry. We never alter a client’s order without permission. I have other matters to attend to.

Goodbye, Ms. Shenton.”

The caller hung up abruptly.

Caroline stared at the reduced transaction amount in bewilderment. Could Kenny be secretly.

Unfortunately, I can’t reach Kenny right now to get answers.”
