Chapter 235: Chapter 235: Seizing the Opportunity
"Manager Morton, we have backups of the aromatherapy ingredient list. If you don’t mind, I can make it on-site. Please follow me to the scenting room," Nora Northwood said assertively.
Annie cooperated, "Manager Morton, I am a gold card member at Rhea for my spending here. Can you do us a favor? I guarantee the result will satisfy you."
Gold card membership at Rhea requires spending over a million.
Manager Morton was troubled, not wanting to offend a gold card customer and worrying about future cooperation issues.
Nora saw her wavering and pressed her advantage, "We won’t charge for the first aromatherapy batch. We’ll custom-make a hundred samples for you for free."
A hundred samples?
Everyone present simultaneously looked at Nora.
Only Yvonne Winslow calculated the profit and loss situation using a computer. Overall, it was still profitable.
It’s said that businessmen are most focused on profit. In this way, Manager Morton couldn’t resist the temptation.
"Alright, I’ll come see the samples in three days."
The issue was resolved and Nora felt greatly relieved.
Next, she planned to leave the matter of the lost samples to Lily Sloan, while she fulfilled her promise to Manager Morton.
The whole afternoon, Nora locked herself in the scenting room.
"Splash——"
Another bottle of liquid was poured into the waste water pool, flowing away through the pipe.
Nora’s shoulders slumped, looking somewhat dejected. She stared at the ceiling, her thoughts in disarray.
Just then, the phone in her pocket buzzed.
"Local courier service, needs to be signed for in person."
Nora took the phone away from her ear, glanced at it. She didn’t remember buying anything.
Still, she went to the front desk.
A delivery guy in a blue uniform was waiting for her, "Are you Ms. Nora Northwood?"
"I am."
Nora accepted the courier, discovering the sender’s information was from a law firm.
She understood, signed her name, and didn’t forget to thank the delivery guy.
Nora took the courier back to her office; inside were a few A4-sized sheets of paper.
Defendant May Lawrence, for spreading rumors and defamation against our party...
The text generally indicated that May Lawrence was imprisoned. As Nora flipped the pages, she saw another name.
"Quentin Ford," she unconsciously read aloud.
Nora truly sued May Lawrence, so why was Quentin Ford imprisoned too?
In her hesitation, she received a call from Jasper Sinclair.
"Did you get it?"
The gentle voice brushed past her ear, and Nora realized that the entire matter involved aspects beyond her understanding.
She neatly organized the items in her hand, and retorted, "Did you send Quentin Ford in?"
"Yes."
"Too easy on him," Nora muttered.
This time, it was Jasper Sinclair who was perplexed, "What do you mean by ’too easy on him’?"
Then, Nora explained methodically, "Quentin Ford owed massive gambling debts outside, and the creditors have been pressing him recently. He can’t come up with money and life has been tough, hiding here and there, even neglecting his beloved son. Now, in jail, he escapes the clutches of those loan sharks."
Upon hearing this, Jasper Sinclair suddenly understood.
"Nora, it seems you’re smarter than I thought."
Nora appeared on the verge of smiling, continuing, "I originally planned to deal with him a bit later, after the creditors harassed him a bit more, then let him suffer in jail. But now, it seems he’s lucked out."
