Harlow, Lachlan, and Miranda walked towards the warehouse area with several trucks parked outside and workers waiting at the entrances. Romeo and Eliza were already there, looking amused and proud as they watched the trio approach.
Miranda and Lachlan exchanged a glance, sensing that something was up. "Hey, my niece and Lachlan have arrived," Romeo said with a smirk.
"What's going on? Why did you call us here?" Miranda asked flatly.
"We need your help to inspect some medicinal herbs that we just received from a wholesaler," Romeo explained. "You used to manage this company before, so you must know about these things. Come take a look!"
Romeo spoke with a mocking and self-satisfied tone.
Hearing this, Miranda's expression darkened, and a subtle coldness appeared in her beautiful eyes.
"Oh, what's this? Your face doesn't look too good," Eliza teased from the side.
"Seeing us find a new raw materials supplier got her upset!" Harlow chuckled smugly. Then she added, "Miranda, Willis, didn't see that coming, did you? You may have made Albie and his gang cut off our supplies, but someone is still willing to provide for us. We won't be delayed. You celebrated too early last time!"
With those words, both Romeo and Eliza burst into laughter, looking quite pleased with themselves.
Miranda's expression turned sour as she glared at her uncle's family. What they had portrayed as addressing issues in the factory and checking the raw materials was clearly an excuse to bring her here and gloat over their triumph.
"Is this amusing? Lachlan, let's go!" Miranda said coldly, feeling quite displeased, and she prepared to leave with Lachlan.
However, at that moment, Lachlan shook his head. "Miranda, wait a moment."
Miranda raised an eyebrow in suspicion.
Lachlan then subtly sniffed the air and, after surveying the trucks, turned to Romeo and said, "I advise you not to accept these raw materials! It could lead to significant problems!"
Upon hearing this, Romeo responded with a grunt, "What do you mean, kid? Is there some big problem? You think you can make us angry, huh? Hahaha..."
Lachlan narrowed his eyes and warned seriously, "Many of these herbs have already gone bad! Then they were processed with chemicals and sold to you!"
Normal herbs absorb the essence of the sun and moon to grow. They contain some spiritual energy from heaven and earth.
However, many of the herbs on these trucks today did not contain any spiritual energy at all.
Not only that but they also emitted a strange odor.
Clearly, they were inferior quality herbs that had been processed with chemicals!
As soon as Lachlan finished speaking, Romeo said in surprise, "Oh?" His expression changed several times.
The person in charge who brought the convoy over became angry upon hearing this. He pointed at Lachlan and scolded him, "Where did you come from? You're talking nonsense here! The herbs in Mr. Diaz's hands are all top-notch goods! Stop slandering us!"
Then he asked Lachlan, "Kid, which ones do you say are inferior quality herbs? Let's check them out right now!"
Lachlan smiled casually and pointed to one of the trucks.
"Haha," he laughed. "You say these dried plums are inferior quality herbs? Come on then open up the cargo compartment so they can take a look!"
The person in charge's eyes flickered for a moment before bursting into laughter.
It seemed like he had no fear whatsoever.
