    Mr. Kane Got cklisted Chapter 1582 [Eleven Jewell]


    Maggie walked over to where Ste was sitting and ced several sample pieces on the desk before


    saying softly, “Ms. Hall, the top row here are the


    samples of our new product for this month, and the two below are from the batch two weeks ago.


    Please have a look.”


    Ste grabbed her jeweler’s loupe and examined the items on the table. Then,


    she frowned and asked, “Why are there so many cracks on these pieces?”


    Maggie pursed her lips and said, “All the items made from thetest batch of raw materials have the


    same issue. A customer ising this afternoon to pick


    up her order, but I had to make up an excuse to postpone it. We can’t give our customers products as


    such. They’re all experts and can easily tell how bad the


    quality these are.”


    Maggie paused briefly before being more straightforward,” Ms. Hall, I understand that business might


    be toughtely due to the rising raw material


    andbor costs, but we can’tpromise on quality. That is what jewelry enthusiasts care about the


    most. We can’t cut corners just to lower our cost.”


    Ste was speechless.


    “Did you think that I ordered lower-quality materials to save money?”


    Maggie was taken aback, “It wasn’t you?”


    Ste massaged her temples. “The cost of raw materials has never been cheap,


    and I would never order bad quality materials just to save money.” She lifted her gaze and continued,


    “When did you notice these materials had issues? If


    “Yesterday. One of our customers wanted to check the progress of her order, so I went to fetch the


    items and found out that half of the materials we had were


    subpar.” After a brief pause, Maggie lowered her voice and added, “I thought it was because you


    wanted to save money.”


    Ste replied in a deep tone, “It wasn’t me, but I have an idea who might’ve done this.”


    Ste thought it would take some time before that person took action, but it seemed he could not wait


    any longer.


    Then, she lifted her gaze and asked, “Is there anyone in thepany whom you have a good


    rtionship with and can be trusted?”


    “The assistant manager and Shirley from the logistics department.”


    “Don’t let anyone know about this; please make a dinner reservation tonight. I want to have a chat with


    them.”


    “Sure.”


    Now that the fish had taken the bait, it was time to reel it in.


    Chris had been quite nervous about purchasing lower-grade materials behind Ste’s back. However, a


    week passed, and Ste seemed ignorant of what


    happened.


    Then, he grew even bolder. After all, Ste was new to the industry, and he thought she could not


    discern the quality of the raw materials even if he


    switched them.


    He was not worried about other people in thepany who could tell the difference because Darcie


    was his rtive. Plus, they would not dare to expose


    him anyway.


    The money he gained from switching to lower-grade materials was way more than what he had earned


    from selling leftover materials. He regretted not doing


    this earlier as he would have probably paid off his loans by now.


    One day, Chris received a call from his supplier demanding payment for his recent orders because they


    received some new stock and needed extra funds.


    Chris was baffled, “What? I already settled the bill a few days ago.”


    The person in charge replied, “That was only a part of it, and the rest you had someone collect is still


    unpaid. We’ve worked together for so long and wouldn’t


    normally ask for the payment so soon. However, you’ve taken too many of our stocks on credit, and our


    cash flow is affected. We can’t order any new materials


    if you don’t pay us now. It’d be greatly appreciated if you could understand the situation. Please settle


    at least half of the outstanding amount.”


    Chris frowned, “You must be mistaken. I personally made all the purchases and never had anyone


    collect anything for me. If The person in charge’s expression changed, “Mr. Poole, this is not right. That


    person was from yourpany. Who else could’ve sent that person other than you?”


    “It’s got to be a misunderstanding. I’m the only person managing the purchases at The Velvet, and I’ve


    never authorized anyone to make any orders. Please


    doublecheck. I have a call to take.”


    Chris hung up the phone before the other person could say anything.


    That person was agitated and had been trying to contact Chris for the next three


    days. However, Chris was too preupied with exploiting thepany and had


    no time to be bothered by that.


    Not only did Chris not pay up, but he also denied making all the orders.

    Eventually, the person in charge had no choice but to reach out to Ste.
