Chapter 228 Hugh frowned. “Why did this issue suddenly come up? I haven‘t heard about any issue
recently that would cause a supply issue...”
“I am also not too clear about it. We have two projects that are critical and approaching the deadline. As
we had previously allocated more effort toward the Dickinson International project, these two projects
have been slightly delayed,” explained Sadie. “But wouldn‘t it be okay if it was just a slight delay?”
Kayson probed further. Sadie replied, “Well, under normal circumstances, that would be alright. However,
ever since Apex Investment invested in Wolfenden Corp., we have been under public scrutiny. A small
mistake or issue could be blown up into a big issue and affect Wolfenden Corp.’s reputation.” Hugh
frowned even more. “I believe that the lack of supply by all our suppliers is most likely an elaborate plan
by someone to sabotage Wolfenden Corp.”
“There is a high probability that what you say is true. Apex Investment has had a smooth sailing journey
for quite some time now. There are quite a number of people who are waiting for Mr. Carlson to make
the wrong step. Wolfenden Corp. has been made a target.” Sadie agreed with Hugh.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHugh suggested to her, “Perhaps you should find other suppliers. If that is not possible, perhaps you
should try sourcing materials from another region.”
Sadie nodded. “Dad feels the same as well. That is why he stayed back tonight to call various
suppliers.”
Kayson just sat quietly, listening to both of them talk. Despite not making much noise, he made a mental
note of what they said. After dinner, Kayson had another round of chess with Hugh before finding an
opportunity to get out of the house and make a phone call. “Uncle Michael, do you know anything about
what is happening to Wolfenden Corp.?” asked Kayson.
“Yes, I do. I was planning to have a chat with you tomorrow to discuss the issue. I‘m just curious, did you
cross paths with Joseph Wadley?” asked Michael.
Kayson was confused. “Do you mean Joseph, the richest person in Clouspring?” “Yes. Actually, I was
able to trace that he is responsible for the attacks against Wolfenden Corp.,” said Michael.
Kayson frowned and said with an unhappy tone, “Actually, I do not have any direct conflict with him. I
cannot believe that he would do such a thing.” Kayson then proceeded to share what had transpired at
Bwell Therapeutics this afternoon.
Michael worriedly said, “I did not imagine he would be in the same clique as Sir Osborn. However, since
Joseph has put out the word, I‘m afraid that it will be hard for Wolfenden Corp. to find a supplier” Kayson
asked, “Why is that?”
“Joseph is currently the richest man in Clouspring. Naturally, he is involved in almost all the different
industries. For the building material suppliers, Wolfenden Corp. is not their only
client. They still have other clients that they can earn from. On the other hand, if these building material
suppliers offend Joseph, it is possible that Joseph might use his influence to prevent them from having
any business at all,” explained Michael. Kayson understood what Michael was saying. “So, if I settle this
matter with Joseph, the problem will be gone, right?” “Kayson, I advise you not to act harshly on this
matter. If Joseph dies, there will be a serious investigation. How about this? Let me contact some other
building material suppliers from out of town and see how to help Wolfenden Corp. get through this tough
time,” suggested Michael.
Was Joseph Wadley untouchable? Kayson did not think so. But since Michael had already advised him
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmon this issue, Kayson decided not to rush things. After ending the call, Kayson headed upstairs to rest.
Sadie had already gotten used to Kayson going into her room to sleep. As such, she wasn‘t surprised
when he entered and just continued to play with her phone. Just as Kayson was about to lay the
mattress on the floor and lie down, there was a knock on the door. Beatrice asked from outside, “Sadie,
may I come in?” Sadie was shocked. “Give me a minute, Mom!” She looked at Kayson and rushed him.
“Faster! Pack your things up!”
Kayson immediately folded back his mattress and stored it in the closet before going to open the door.
Beatrice walked in with a plate of fruits. “Since the both of you are still not going to bed, do have some
fruits.” Although Kayson and Sadie had normal expressions, Beatrice took a look at the closet, smiled,
and walked out of the door.
After eating the fruits, Kayson was just about to lay out his mattress and lie when Beatrice came again.
Kayson stored his mattress back in the closet.
This happened another three to four times. Kayson frowned, “Do you think they‘ve noticed what we are
doing?” Sadie was unhappy about it. With a frustrated tone, she replied, “How would i know? Fine. Don‘t
lay out the mattress anymore. Come up on the bed, and let‘s sleep.”
