Romeo and his family had varying expressions, with uncertainty clouding their faces.


    Now it seemed that Albie had orchestrated the coboration among other raw material suppliers to cut off their supply because of L.


    “Ask that guy? Impossible! Absolutely impossible!” Eliza eximed.


    “But what do we do? If we can’t get the raw materials on time, we won’t be able to fulfill those massive orders with hefty penalty uses. After all, we’re talking about orders worth millions now! We might even face legal consequences if we don’t deliver something that remotely resembles the products to those agents,” Harlow said, his face filled with worry.


    Romeo’s expression was as sour as a rock in a cesspool. They were thest people willing to go and ask for L’s help, but not doing so would result in heavy losses and possibly even jail time.


    Just then, someone knocked on the office door.


    “Who is it?” Romeo asked impatiently.


    “Mr. Lowe, it’s me, Felix,” replied Felix, the head of procurement for raw materials within thepany.


    Romeo gave permission to enter, and Felix walked in with a man who had pointed ears and a narrow chin.


    “Who’s this?” Romeo asked with a puzzled expression.


    “Mr. Lowe, this is Jadiel Diaz, a raw materials supplier from Slocmore,” Felix introduced.


    As Felix spoke, Romeo, Eliza, and Harlow all couldn’t help but brighten up.


    What? A raw materials supplier from Slocmore? Could it be…


    “Ah, so you’re Mr. Diaz, I see? Please, please, have a seat!” Romeo weed warmly.


    “Harlow, quickly make some tea!”


    Harlow hurriedly scuttled off to prepare some tea.


    “Mr. Diaz, may I ask what brought you to ourpany?” Romeo asked impatiently.


    Jadiel smiled, adjusted a wisp of facial hair at the corner of his mouth, and said, “Mr. Lowe, I’ve heard that yourpany is currently facing a shortage of raw materials. Coincidentally, I am a wholesaler of raw materials. If you need them, I can supply you. Of course, the price may be slightly higher.”


    The man chuckled, and a hint of cunning glinted in his eyes.


    After gauging the reactions of Romeo and the others, he decided to increase the price a little further to squeeze more profit from them.


    “Higher? How much higher?” Romeo inquired.


    Upon hearing this, Romeo’s face changed and he asked, “If the price is too high, I’m afraid I won’t be able to ept it.”


    “How about a 10% increase from the average market price? As far as I know, you are in urgent need of medicinal herbs right now. And I also have to pay for transportation fees since I’m bringing them over from Slocmore, right?” Jadiel said with a smile.


    “A 10% increase? Okay, no problem! When can you deliver the goods? Do you have all the types of herbs we need and what is their quality like?” Romeo breathed a sigh of relief and eagerly asked.


    “Let’s sign the contract first and then I’ll immediately arrange for logistics to deliver here! You can rest assured about the quality. Just tell me what kind of medicinal herbs you need and I guarantee that we have them all!” Jadiel patted his chest confidently.


    “Great! Let’s sign it now!” Romeo eximed happily.


    After Jadiel left following signing the contract…


    Romeo’s family couldn’t help butugh at each other with excitement and relief on their faces.


    “Haha! The heavens are helping us!” Romeo grinned broadly.


    “I knew someone woulde knocking on our doors seeking cooperation with us because our medicine is so popr. Those herb merchants who didn’t want to work with us before will regret it when they see how much money they could’ve made by partnering up with us in future.” Eliza said excitedly while waving her hands around animatedly.


    “That Mr. Diaz really has an eye for good business opportunities unlike those losers like Albie who don’t know how to make money even when given such opportunities.” Harlowughed while scolding Albie along with other herb merchants who refused to work together earlier on.


    The three members of this family felt as if everything was suddenly clear again!


    At that moment, Eliza suddenly eximed “Oh my god!” as she thought about something else, “Honey… Harlow… what do you think will happen if Emmanuel finds out that we can get back our original source of medicinal herbs?”


    Hearing this question made both Romeo and Harlow think back to Cara’s birthday party where they had seen their joyous expressions after being cut off from their supply chain before…


    “Heh… they must be feeling pretty dumbfounded right now! Let them enjoy their temporary victory because soon enough they’ll realize that everything they did was just paving way for our sess instead.” Harlow sneered coldly while thinking about Emmanuel’s reaction upon learning about their new source of herbs again.


    “They’ll understand once more that cutting off supplies was only temporary but these four new drugs will bring permanent benefits for us forever.” Romeo boasted proudly.


    “Exactly! They’ll be so angry when they see it! It’s satisfying just thinking about it. Honey, how about we invite Emmanuel and his family over when Mr. Diaz delivers our goods? Let them see with their own eyes how we turned the tide and came out on top.” Eliza shed a sly and triumphant smile.


    “Great idea! That’s what we’ll do! Only then will it be truly satisfying. Haha…” Romeo pped his hands in agreement.

    The next day, Miranda and L had been busy at the factory all morning and had just finished lunch when Miranda’s phone rang.


    Seeing who was calling, she furrowed her brows in disgust.


    “Who is it?” L asked.


    “Harlow!” The goddess CEO was extremely annoyed with her cousin by now.


    After hesitating for a moment, she answered, “What is it?”


    “Cousin,e to the factory area right away. There are some issues left over from before that need your attention!”


    “What kind of issues?” Miranda asked inexplicably confused.


    “I can’t exin over the phone. You’ll find out when you get here! Oh yeah, don’t forget to bring L!”


    “Why does this have anything to do with L?” Miranda was even more puzzled now.


    “Of course he does! Hurry up, things are quite tricky here. If you don’te soon enough, we’ll have to hand this matter over to relevant departments!” Harlow said seriously.


    Miranda felt nervous after hearing Harlow speak like that but still hesitated for a moment before saying, “Okay then I’ming.”


    She couldn’t imagine what kind of problems she could have left behind at the factory area but better safe than sorry…


    At this point, even L looked baffled, “What kind of tricks is Harlow ying again?”


    “I don’t know either; let’s go check it out,” Miranda shook her head as they both quickly finished their meal before driving towards the pharmaceuticalpany nt in western suburbs.


    When they arrived at the nt area gate, they saw Harlow waiting there for them.


    “What exactly is going on?” Miranda got off her car and asked.


    “Come on; I’ll take you guys to see something!” Harlow raised her chin slightly as a sh of pleasure crossed her face upon seeing them arrive.


    Ha ha, I knew I could trick them intoing over!
