Betrayed, But Not Defeated novel Chapter 162

Joshua stood quietly at the side, patiently waiting for Daniel's arrival. When the latter saw Bridget and Joshua grim and solemn, he laughed. "What's with the tension?"

"It's all my fault, Mr. Ashcroft! Now that the factory has shut down, the losses that would come out of this…" Bridget apologized frantically.

Daniel waved in dismissal. "The factory must keep going. I'll contact our supplier."

"I've already done that. They said their materials have all been sold out!" She smiled bitterly.

As soon as she realized the problem, she found a solution. However, the harsh reality was that they couldn't purchase any materials, even with money!

"Have you found them?" Daniel glanced at the empty warehouse.

Bridget shook her head. "No, but I've already called the police."

At that moment, Joshua piped up. "Mr. Ashcroft, I can track them down!"

She looked surprised.

However, Daniel casually banged on the warehouse door. "That'll be a hassle. I suppose they'll be here soon!"

He was right. As soon as his words fell came the sound of car horns. He then led the two outside the warehouse.

Carl Gardner, who originally managed the warehouse, stepped out of the car with a broad smile. He was dressed in a suit and exuded the aura of a successful person.

However, his demeanor didn't quite match that of a true, successful individual. Instead, it gave off a vibe of someone awkwardly imitating success.

"Mr. Ashcroft, I'm so sorry to meet you again like this." Carl laughed, extending his hand and striding toward Daniel.

Daniel glanced at him but didn't acknowledge the outstretched hand. This caused a flash of irritation in Carl's eyes.

However, he quickly regained his composure, forcing a smile as he asked, "Don't you want to solve the problem at hand, Mr. Ashcroft?"
