Chapter 251 The Bad Guy Wins Again
Grayson promptly entered my office, and I instructed him to commence his investigation.
Tobshampton Group had indeed forged an agreement with Ardora Construction, which fell
under
Matthew’s jurisdiction.
As expected, few individuals could orchestrate such a move, and Matthew was the prime
suspect.
“But, it wasn’t Matthew who initiated this. It was a scheme set up by Liora!” Grayson
relayed.
“Liora?” I was surprised. How did she become involved in this?
Grayson explained, “Initially, Tobshampton Group had no intentions of partnering with
Ardora Construction. Matthew wasn’t even being considered for Topshampton Group’s
project. During their
previous collaboration, there was friction.

construction
process, utilizing a small factory for production. With minor alterations, he passed them off
as authentic.
“So, when the incident occurred, Tobshampton Group didn’t step forward. This time,
Ardora Construction
wasn’t even on their list when selecting a new supplier. It was all due to Liora!”
Grayson’s investigation was thorough.
“How does Liora have connections with Tobshampton Group?” I was skeptical, considering
Tobshampton Group’s base wasn’t even in Foswood.
“It’s a small world. Liora has a friendship with the Tobshampton Group’s owner’s wife,
and… Eleanor is a
confidante of Tobshampton Group’s owner.”
“Confidante?” I was even more astonished. I hadn’t expected Eleanor to wield this level of
influence.
This paints a clear picture. Thanks to Liora’s connection through the owner, she managed
to secure the
contract and even expressed her frustrations directly to the owner.” Grayson smirked. “It’s
a bit
convoluted, isn’t it?”
“It’s a bit tangled, indeed,” I pondered. “So, how did Liora pass the contract to Matthew?”
“Why did you cross Liora?” Grayson sounded somewhat resigned.
“Let me handle this. You can wait for me here.”
I was exasperated. It seemed Liora was indeed holding a grudge.

Eleanor hesitated and asked, “You don’t want to ask… who signed the contract… with us?”
“I won’t put you in a tough spot,” I said openly, “Whoever it is, there must be a reason.”
I had a vague sense of who it might be, but I couldn’t be sure.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHearing my response, Eleanor sighed and laughed bitterly. I knew she felt conflicted.
“All right then, until we meet again,” Eleanor said before we hung up.
Carol stomped in frustration. “Damn it! We got played, didn’t we? Who conducts business
like that? We
didn’t want to sign the contract, but they insisted and then backed out. What kind of trick
is this? Benny
even said they were trustworthy!”
“There’s something wrong here. Get Grayson for me,” I said thoughtfully. I wasn’t angry
because I didn’t
sign the deal. It was more about someone interfering with my business, and I wanted to
find out who they
were.
I didn’t want to ask Eleanor directly because it could’ve put her in a tough spot. Still, I
needed to know.
