Chapter 399 Problems Arise
“How’s the investigation going?” Abigail inquired as they stood outside the restaurant.
As soon as they got down to business, Ronaldo’s expression turned serious.
“It’s proving to be quite difficult. The simplest approach, in my opinion, would be to conduct a DNA test. Hair from one of the Pearsons is easy to obtain, but not so for Kelly,” Ronaldo said in a low voice.
Abigail understood. He hadn’t found any leads.
That was more than understandable. If it were that easy to find a lead, the Pearson Family wouldn’t be as formidable as they were.
“We can’t conduct the DNA test ourselves, considering we’re outsiders,” Abigail said in a solemn
tone.

If they couldn’t find information about Kelly’s identity, it also meant she couldn’t afford to confront Scarlett.
Scarlett and Kelly were practically working in tandem, forming an impenetrable fortress.
“I’ll continue to look into it. Don’t worry,” Ronaldo added, fearing she’d be too disappointed.
“Alright, just make sure to stay safe.”
Vincent’s family was ruthless. If they found out Ronaldo was investigating Kelly’s identity behind their backs, they would surely target him.
Ronaldo smiled nonchalantly. “Don’t worry. I’m not one to be trifled with. Besides, I’m counting on you to help me strike gold.”
“Got it. Work hard!” Abigail encouraged.
L.Moon’s current returns for Ronaldo were too meager. So, she understood his impatience.
Abigail returned home to prepare for her designs after seeing Ronaldo off at the airport.
At that moment, Luna called with some terrible news.
“Bad news. The batch of fabric that the client sent has been involved in a car accident, and all the fabric was burned.” Luna’s voice sounded urgent.
“Which batch?” Abigail asked.
“The one from the Dolandian brand LUS, which was shipped at the end of December,” Luna said,

a hint of frustration creeping into her tone. “No wonder they gave us time to seek investment. Turns out, they were also investigating our background. LUS is known for being strict and tight- fisted. The fabric took a month to arrive by sea, and now…”
With the fabric being destroyed, the project timeline would be delayed. Furthermore, since they purchased the burned fabric with the client’s money, this meant they had no way to explain this to the client.
“LUS definitely won’t take responsibility. It’s up to us to resolve this issue. The problem now is that this batch of fabric is very expensive. If we take responsibility, it’ll cost us over 15 thousand just for the fabric,” Luna continued, sharing the details with Abigail.
“Contact the client and tell them we’ll buy fabric through air freight. Otherwise, if the delivery date is delayed, we won’t make a penny by the end of the year.” Abigail made a quick decision.
Luna nodded. They would have to tough it out, even if they couldn’t make a profit.
Accidents like car crashes were inevitable for them.
The only good thing here was that the other party wouldn’t take such risks repeatedly. Once they were discovered, they’d face a wrongful death lawsuit. Could they really escape?
