Chapter 1872
The General Manager's office of Hughes Group.
Darius' expression darkened after he hung up the phone.
Immediately, he called the director of the Product Supply Department and ordered him to print out a copy of the
data report and meet him in his office.
After some time, someone knocked on his door. A man in his mid-fifties pushed the door open and strode into the
room.
This man was none other than the director of Hughes Group's Product Supply Department, Mister Craig.
"Mister Hughes, sir, this is the data report you wanted,’ Mister Craig muttered as he handed the documents to
Darius.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtDarius took the documents from him, flipped through them, then glanced at the data report that Leon sent him.
After verifying, he soon discovered that the root of the problem lay within Hughes Group's Distribution Department?
"Rats! Who could've done this?" Darius was outraged by this and immediately leaped out of his chair. He initially
thought that the problem rose in some other portion of the chain of distribution and was thus unrelated to Hughes
Group at all.
He never once dreamed that someone in the Distribution Department could have tampered with this!
One could only imagine his rage at this!
"Mister Craig, notify everyone in the Product Supply and Distribution Departments to gather every last data report
they have and meet me in the conference room. I'm calling an emergency meeting! I'm going to leave no stone
unturned!’ Darius ordered, trying to stifle his rage as best he could.
Although by now, he figured out that the problem lay in the Distribution Department, he still had no idea who was
behind this, and thus he needed to investigate thoroughly!
"Yes, sir!" Mister Craig chirruped in response and left the room.
A few minutes later, all the employees of the Product Supply and Distribution Departments gathered in the
conference room, including Gordon, who was the director in charge of the Distribution Department!
He just arrived at the office not long ago and barely sat down when he was summoned to an urgent meeting.
Since he was the one who tampered with the products in the first place, he obviously anticipated that Darius would
call this meeting as soon as he found out. Thankfully, he prepared for this scenario beforehand and arranged for a
scapegoat to take the blame, so he was not at all worried that Darius would find out it was him all along!
As Gordon anticipated, after some thorough investigation, Darius managed to narrow his suspicion down to one of
the managers of the Distribution Department.
This said manager was prepared for this moment and thus took sick leave a few days ago. In the meantime, he got

Darius almost exploded in rage when he discovered this, but knowing that there was nothing more he could do, he
had no choice but to relent.
"Meeting dismissed! Everyone can leave now, save for Gordon!" Darius ordered, gesturing for everyone to return to
their duties.
The crowd dissipated, and soon the only people who remained in the room were him and Gordon.
"Darius, why did you want to see me in private?" Gordon asked, trying to stay as calm as he could, but he still could
not help feeling a little nervous. He wondered if Darius somehow pieced together the truth.
"What do you think? Now that everyone has left the room, I shall ask you one last time-who was the one who
tampered with Elegante Group's products?" Darius asked coldly.
Although the outcome of his investigation revealed that it was the manager who did so, he could not help feeling a
little suspicious, especially after realizing how seamlessly this man pulled off the whole thing and escaped before
anyone noticed!
Darius was not an idiot—it was clear to him that things were not as simple as they appeared to be!
