Heidi didn't have any good designs to begin with.
After a brief pause, she lied to Simon, saying, "Refined Threads Co. is completely siding with Janice now. Why? Because she bought them off. No matter how amazing my crochet designs are, they'll reject them anyway. How is that my fault? It's Janice who's making your life miserable."
She shifted all the blame onto Janice.
Simon clenched his fists tightly.
Janice!
"But I'm out of money. Even if we start production, price controls are keeping us from selling them at a high price. I need money, Ms. Olson. Can you—"
Before he could even finish, Heidi cut him off, "I'm busy."
Then, she hung up.
Staring at her now-dark screen, she let out a cold laugh. "He thought I'd give him money? Unbelievable. The man never stops trying to take advantage of people."
Setting her phone down, Heidi turned to Amber. "Did you find anything?"
Amber relayed the information she got from the delivery driver. "He could only give us the drop-off location and nothing more."
All the packages were shipped from the same distribution center, which covered three areas—two gated villa communities and one high-end residential complex.
Heidi glanced at the names of the three locations. Then, her eyes suddenly froze on one. "Wait a second… Doesn't Edward have a property here?"
Amber added, "Oh, right, the courier also mentioned that the only same-day shipment that day came from the high-end residential complex."
After locking onto the location, Heidi was surprised.
Shirley's residence… was in the same place as one of Edward's properties.
She narrowed her eyes. "Can we find out the sender's information?"
