Mr Carroll Went Crazy After Divorce

Karen was on the verge of tears.

“Am I just supposed to watch them have their secret meetings right in front of me?!” asked Karen.

That woman was so cheap! She had already rejected Albie’s proposal, and she still kept clinging to him.

“But you can’t just act impulsively like that,” Nevaeh said.Property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Karen sniffled, looking helpless, “Please help me, Nevaeh. What should I do to make Albie’s heart come back to me?”

“Hmm…” Nevaeh pondered for a moment before giving a resigned smile, “Don’t worry, Karen. You’re my friend and I won’t let you be bullied for no reason.”

Her face lit up with a smile as she continued, “Actually, I think you don’t need to confront them head-on. Aurora and Mr Doyle only have contact because of one collaboration.”

Her meaning was clear enough for Karen to understand. She hoped Karen could sabotage Aurora and Albie’s collaboration and ruin Aurora’s reputation. That way, Aurora wouldn’t be able to compete with her over Sion.

Karen suddenly understood everything. And she said, “So all I need to do is prevent them from collaborating!”

Nevaeh chuckled inwardly but kept her expression serious as she gave Karen a hint, “You’re not thinking about tampering with the fabric supply chain, are you?”

Karen had no idea before this suggestion but now she blew her friend an air kiss in gratitude while saying, “You’re brilliant, Nevaeh!”

She saw Nevaeah as a genius now.

“Okay then! I’m done eating.” Karen couldn’t contain her excitement anymore as she picked up her bag and stood up abruptly from the table exclaiming, “Let’s catch up again soon. Today though it’s time for business!”

“Hey… Karen!” Nevaeh called out after her but didn’t move an inch herself.

As Karen hurried away from view, an interest sparked in Neveah’s eyes as she continued eating slowly while muttering under her breath, “What an idiot.”

Two days later, Crescent Group’s fabric supplier was exposed for exceeding formaldehyde limits, causing production stoppages across the board.

“Exceeding formaldehyde limits?”

Aurora looked at Anna who handed over some documents.

“How could they make such a basic mistake?”

“I sent someone there myself; those fabrics did have issues.” Anna looked grave.

“What should we do now?”

If it turned out that there was indeed a problem with the fabric their company used, it was not just a matter of being unable to explain to the public. Crescent Group’s credibility would also sharply decline, and they might even face punishment from legal authorities.

Aurora lowered her head in deep thought for a moment. And she said, “Let’s go see the factory.”

She didn’t believe that such a large plastic supplier would do something so low-level. Even if they were trying to make some extra profit, they wouldn’t dare tamper with this kind of thing. After all, if they were caught, it would be a very serious matter.

Anna immediately prepared the necessary documents and went with Aurora to the factory, which was currently shut down. None of the workers were on duty. Aurora asked Anna if she had called ahead to inform the manager.

“We already called ahead.” Anna replied, “The manager is waiting for you in his office.”

As soon as they finished speaking, their footsteps suddenly halted as they saw an unexpected person standing before them.

Sion was accompanied by two other people and they appeared to have just arrived as well.

Aurora’s expression turned sour at seeing him here. She couldn’t understand why he would show up at this time. Her mind became muddled for a moment before regaining composure, “What are you doing here?”

Sion walked towards her with tenderness on his face, saying, “You’re having trouble. How could I do nothing?”

Aurora resisted rolling her eyes and tried to walk away from him instead. She wasn’t in any mood for small talk right now, especially since he had resorted to such tactics earlier.

Seeing Aurora’s displeased expression made Sion realize that he shouldn’t joke around anymore. He explained his intentions directly, “I brought along an expert appraiser who should be able to help you.”

This statement caused Aurora to pause once again.

Did he have such good intentions?

However, given her current situation where she needed help urgently, there wasn’t much room left for doubt or suspicion about his motives.

Aurora turned around slightly while smiling faintly, “Then I’ll trouble Mr Carroll.”

Sion smiled back indulgently then took two steps forward until he was walking beside her shoulder-to-shoulder. When they entered Crescent Group’s material warehouse area, Albie was seen unexpectedly by Aurora.

“Hey, Albie, why are you here?” asked Aurora.

After all, it was an internal affair of the Crescent Group. But since Albie was their business partner, his appearance here made sense.

“I came to see what’s going on.” Said Albie, his face softening as he glanced casually at the man behind her. His eyebrows furrowed when he saw Sion.

His expression darkened for a moment but quickly returned to normal. He looked back at Aurora and reassured her, “Don’t worry, I’ve already talked to the company about this. The shareholders won’t have any objections for now. Let’s wait for the investigation results.”

Cory, his assistant, wanted to add something but stopped when Albie shot him a look.

Mr Doyle had been trapped in his office early that morning by those stubborn shareholders who were not easily appeased. He had even used his position as the CEO as collateral just to shut them up. But now in front of Aurora, he didn’t say a word. It was driving Cory crazy.

“Okay then, thank you, Albie.” Said Aurora. She breathed a sigh of relief, knowing she had Albie’s support which would save her from further trouble.

“It’s not necessary, I’m your brother.”

Aurora smiled at him and was about to say something when Sion calmly interrupted them, “Let’s first understand what happened and let the experts check it out.”

Aurora glared at him after being interrupted but then realized that what he said made sense so she didn’t say anything else. This matter hadn’t been exposed to the public yet so they needed to find out the root cause before it got worse.

Albie confidently replied, “Our company has people checking with the appraisal department already.”

Sion looked over at him and their eyes met.

Without exchanging greetings or pleasantries, they instantly built an invisible battlefield, where smoke filled their surroundings while sparks flew everywhere.
