Chapter: 816
Over time, the Faulkner family’s standard of living gradually decreased, essentially
returning to the same level it was at before they had moved abroad.
One would think, that with the house sale and a supposed lucrative job abroad, the
Faulkner family should have been thriving, but the opposite seemed to happen.
Piecing it together, Sabrina surmised that Zeke didn’t actually land a high-paying job
overseas. Instead, he likely benefitted from some shady deals. But as that illicit funding
dried up, their lifestyle was downgraded.
Back in their homeland, Zeke sought a fresh start. But without connections or funds, he
took shortcuts, resorting to using inferior materials and skimming off the top of the

However, Sabrina’s purpose was to assist Trevor and gain his trust, not exposing Zeke just
yet.
He could choose to pretend not to know for now. It would be wise to uncover the suppliers
responsible for the low-quality materials.
Sabrina forwarded the digital copies of the reports to Trevor, noting,
“The analysis confirms the materials’ inadequacy. It seems your father might have been
duped by the suppliers.”
Trevor’s reaction upon seeing the reports must’ve been one of dismay.
The chat displayed an ongoing typing notification.
A few minutes later, Trevor responded, “Understood. I’ll discuss this with my father. After
that, we’ll alert the concerned agencies and seek compensation.”
“Do you need me to find a lawyer for you?” Sabrina offered.
Trevor said, “That’d be very helpful. Given our unfamiliarity with the local scene, we’re
rather vulnerable to supplier swindling. I owe you big time, Sabrina. Without your help, I’d
be in a big mess.”
“No need for thanks. When can you meet in the coming days? Coordinate with the lawyer
and ensure you have your father’s material purchase receipts,” Sabrina advised.
Trevor said, “I’m free tonight. I’ll be out of work at 5:30 pm.
Sabrina, can you set up a meeting with the Lawyer?”
Sabrina responded, “Sure thing.”
She then reached out to Cade Hobbes from Blakely Group’s legal department. While Cade

the matter with extra care.
The situation was relatively simple, with clear inspection findings and purchase
documentation.
Their main concern was that discussions around compensation with the supplier might hit
a dead end, leading them to pursue Legal action.
With Cade’s expertise, Trevor took steps against the suppliers and sought compensation.
The concerned agencies were quick with their actions. After verifying the suppliers’ subpar
products, they seized the defective materials, mandated factory corrections, and arranged
a conflict-resolution meeting.
