Chapter 911 Someone Is Getting in the Way
“Double compensation? Ha!” Sonia was so angered by such an excuse that she laughed instead. “They sold our stuff to someone else without our permission and only told us about it after the fact. Clearly, they had gone over our heads. If we couldn’t get the spare parts on time, some machines wouldn’t be able to be used in the processing, and all the progress would have to be halted for the time being. Even if they pay us double compensation, it won’t be enough to cover the costs incurred by the shutdown!”
Her assistant lowered her head. “That’s right. We talked to the collaborating manufacturer and asked them to intercept our parts, but they refused to do so, saying that it was unreasonable to intercept the goods after they’d been shipped out.”
“Were they being reasonable?” Sonia was frothing at the mouth. “If they were being reasonable, they wouldn’t have breached the contract and sold our stuff to someone else. I’m gonna hold them accountable for this!” she said while clenching her fists in anger. “Also, have you found out which company it was that bought our parts before we did?”
There were only a few enterprises in Seafield that were engaged in heavy industry, but she felt that none of these enterprises was the culprit behind this. Paradigm Co. was ranked bottom among these enterprises, after all, so these enterprises had no reason to snatch things from her, not to mention that these enterprises bore no grudge against her. Furthermore, everyone in the country knew that she was Toby’s spouse, so there was no way these enterprises were unaware of it. Therefore, they would only make concessions to her out of courtesy to show Toby respect instead of offending her. So, who is it that’s targeting me? That’s right—they’re targeting me!
Again, everyone in the country knew that she and Toby were a couple, so no one would snatch things from her for Toby’s sake. The owner of the collaborating manufacturer wouldn’t sell her stuff to someone else either, for he was afraid of offending Toby, who was backing her up.
This time, however, someone had snatched things from her despite knowing about her relationship with Toby, and the owner of the collaborating manufacturer had sold her stuff to someone else despite knowing about her relationship with Toby. There was only one explanation for this: someone had deliberately picked on her by snatching her stuff.
As for why the owner of the collaborating manufacturer dared to sell her stuff to someone else, it was either because he had nothing to fear since the one who had bought her stuff had even more clout than Toby, or because he had to do so because the one who had bought her stuff had gotten something on him.
Whatever the reason is, I’m not gonna let this slide. I won’t let both the owner of the collaborating manufacturer and the one who had deliberately picked on me by snatching my stuff off! Sonia’s expression was dark as she bit her lower lip.
Seeing Sonia’s expression, her assistant was somewhat afraid. She lowered her head and replied, “No, we don’t know that yet.”
“You don’t know that yet?” Sonia raised her voice as she was taken aback by the assistant’s reply. “How could you not know that?” She was puzzled. “Someone snatched our stuff, yet we don’t even know who they are! Does this even make sense?” she asked with a frown.
The assistant hung her head even lower. “We really don’t know that, Miss Reed. We asked the collaborating manufacturer, and they said that it was someone with a powerful background who intercepted our parts. As for who the person was, the collaborating manufacturer didn’t tell us about it; it was as if they had scruples about doing so. They only told us that the person wasn’t a local and told us to find out about it on our own.”
Upon hearing this, Sonia clenched her fists even tighter. Someone with a powerful background who isn’t a local… Suddenly, a figure flashed across her mind, and her eyes widened in shock. “It was him!”
The assistant immediately looked at her. “Do you know who it was, Miss Reed?”
