Chapter 62


    As the color drained from Mandy''s face, the entire family began to panic.


    It seemed as though they had somehow offended everyone overnight as all those people


    simultaneously decided to ignore them.


    “Don''t you find it a little strange that everyone collectively broke the contracts at this time?”


    Brittany was rtively calmer and began raising some questions.


    “Brittany, are you saying that someone is targeting us?”


    His daughter''s question enlightened Richard as he immediately thought of the key issue.


    Brittany nodded before asking her parents, “Since so many hotels andpanies have unterally


    terminated their contract with us, and even the vegetable vendors have ignored us, the answer is


    obvious. Have you both offended some big shot recently?”


    “We spend our days attending to the vegetables in the greenhouse. How can there be time and ce


    to offend some big shot! Did you, on the other hand, offend anyone in thepany recently, Brittany?”


    Richard answered without any hesitation.


    “I... I didn''t either!”


    Brittany was about toment that other than Harold, she had not offended anyone recently. However,


    in the end, she reasoned to herself that he could never possess the ability to instruct the hotels,rge


    Besides, it was his idea that we should venture into greenhouse produce back then.


    This time, the trio turned their attention to Brittany''s younger brother, Gordon.


    “Why is everyone looking at me? Although I often associate with Goldie and the others, I''ve never


    offended any big shot!” he protested, feeling wronged.


    “It''s pointless for us to keep on guessing. Tomorrow, I''ll go to those hotels andpanies and get an


    exnation from them in person. Only through finding out the reason can wee up with the


    corresponding countermeasure,” Brittany said helplessly.


    The rest of them could not think of anything better, so they could only nod their heads.


    It was a depressing and uneasy night for the Xenoses.


    The next day, Brittany went to those bigpanies and hotels early in the morning, going door-to-door


    to find the initial coordinators.


    To her despair, all the hotels andpanies she went to turned her down for various reasons and did


    not even give her the chance to speak face-to-face.

    It continued until noon when she dragged her exhausted body to an office building, thestpany


    that signed a contract with her family.


    “Hello, I''d like to speak to Mr. Yale of yourpany''s purchasing department. Is he avable?”


    Brittany had lost all the confidence she had had at the beginning of the day and now spoke to the


    receptionist with a pleading tone.


    The receptionist was most likely a neer as she picked up the phone and called the purchasing


    manager of theirpany without hesitation upon hearing Brittany''s request.


    Joy washed over Brittany''s features when she saw that.


    “Mr. Yale wishes to know who you are.”


    The receptionist exchanged a few words with the purchasing manager on the phone before asking her


    the question.


    “Just inform him that I''m Brittany Xenos from Brittany''s Greenhouse Produce, and I wish to see him for


    something important,” Brittany replied, feeling excited upon seeing that there was finally apany


    willing to speak to her.


    The receptionist ryed her words truthfully to the purchasing manager on the other end. However,


    within ten seconds, she put down the phone.


    “I''m sorry, Ms. Xenos. Mr. Yale said that he''s too busy to meet you. I kindly ask you to leave!”


    The receptionist''s words diminished the spark of hope that had grown within Brittany, causing her to


    feel ever so hopeless again.


    She did not say anything more and could only drag her tired body away, knowing very well that arguing


    further would not work as she had already tried many times.
