Chapter 273 Love Rival


    Chapter 273 Love Rival


    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.


    Karen sniffled, looking helpless, "Please help me, Nevaeh. What should I do to make Albie''s heart


    "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 coboration."


    Her meaning was clear enough for Karen to understand. She hoped Karen could sabotage Aurora and


    Albie''s coboration and ruin Aurora''s reputation. That way, Aurora wouldn''t be able topete with


    her over Sion.


    Karen suddenly understood everything. And she said, "So all I need to do is prevent them from


    coborating!"


    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 eximing, "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 dayster, 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 theirpany used, it was not just a


    matter of being unable to exin 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 arge stic 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 apanied 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 regainingposure, "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


    exined 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 nced 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 thepany 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 coteral 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 red 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, "Ourpany 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.
