The Silent Wife novel (Rachel and Justin) novel Chapter 367

Chapter 367 Villain Holding Sway

The next day at Hudson Pharmaceuticals. “What happened to the approval for the Northlane Development Project?” After the morning meeting, Rachel read the document in her hand and tapped it with the sign pen. “Why has the progress halted at this stage?”

Upon hearing that, Miss Evergreen said, “The project team said that the construction will proceed normally, but we couldn’t get the approval.” “What’s the problem?”

“The Environment Bureau didn’t give us the permit, so the construction is temporarily suspended.”

“Didn’t we acquire the permit before the construction?”

“There was a reinspection, and it was said that our environmental protection procedures were not up to standard, so it was revoked.”

“What’s the specific reason?”

Miss Evergreen was stunned, and she hesitated for a long time without saying why.

Miss Evergreen was one of Evan Holt’s people, and was apparently related to the Holt Family. Her business skill was average at best to begin with, and she didn’t do well as the president’s assistant. Therefore, her daily work was to organize documents.

All in all, Rachel would not have given her the job if it wasn’t for Jolly and Leroy’s troubles in the past two days.

Now, Miss Evergreen was painfully ignorant. Whenever she was asked some questions, she would always answer with, “Someone told me this,” or “I heard someone say that.” It was clear that she never did any research or analysis on her own, which only gave Rachel a headache.

“Understood. You may leave now.”

After all, with Evan supporting her, Rachel couldn’t criticize her.

Before Miss Evergreen left, there was a knock on the door.

Knock, knock.

“Miss Carter.” Miss Evergreen’s voice made Rachel look upward.

Jolly was seen standing at the door in beige-colored office wear.

Upon seeing her, Rachel said in surprise, “Why did you come to the company?”

When she went out in the morning, Jolly was still sleeping in her bedroom, and it was clear that she didn’t want anyone to disturb her. Since the incident between the Sutton Family and Samuel yesterday, Rachel thought that she would at least rest for a few days.

However, Jolly was walking in 5-inch high heels with high spirits.

“Without me, the Northlane Development Project’s progress will be halted until, at the very least, the end of the year. When that happens, the expenses incurred by schedule delays will result in problems for the Hudson Pharmaceuticals’ capital chain. We will fall short if this keeps up.”

“You knew everything?”

“Of course. Al sent me a message early this morning. The Environment Bureau made it clear that they are deliberately stopping us. There is no doubt that someone is behind this incident.”

“Who?”

Jolly placed a document on the table. “Our old enemy, Robin Gunson.”

“Him?”

Just when Rachel was about to say something, Jolly cautiously scanned around the room from the corner of her eye. Then, she said, “Miss Evergreen, please leave this room and close the door. I have something to discuss with President Hudson.”

Upon hearing that, Miss Evergreen replied immediately, “Understood.”

After she closed the door, Rachel glanced thoughtfully at Jolly. “It’s not that simple, is it?”

“Of course, but you can guess what happened.”

“Someone cooperated with Robin to prevent the construction of the development site in Northlane.”

“Bingo.”

“It must be Evan Holt who did this. Otherwise, you wouldn’t send Miss Evergreen away.”
