+15 Bonus
Before Elspeth had a chance to contemplate, she received an incoming call from the manufacturer side.
The current drug research had progressed to the critical stage of preliminary sample testing, where there WAN 159 TVSI for any mistakes.
The consequences of any mistake would extend far beyond damaging their reputation.
Miss Lynwood. I have some terrible news! We’ve got a big situation on our hands! The urgent voice on the other end conveyed the severity of the situation.
Elspeth’s long-standing unease, which had plagued her for some time, suddenly materialized into a stark reality. With a nervous jolt, she swiftly rose from her seat and anxiously inquired. “What’s happened?”
“When I arrived at the manufacturer to inspect the goods today, the whole batch was completely ruined! I asked the manufacturer about it, but they were just as clueless. They said everything was fine during the carly morning check, and they can’t explain how it turned out like this
rowing her brow with concern, Elspeth replied, “Let’s not panic for now. I’ll head over there and investigate firsthand
Deep within her thoughts, she harbored a sense of gratitude for not having fully committed to this batch. She couldn’t help but ponder the potential consequences if she had inadvertently allowed these problematic products to infiltrate the market. The mere thought of the chaos it could unleash sent shivers down her spine.
She nonchalantly grabbed a jacket and drove to the outskirts where the manufacturer was located.
The distance between the company and the manufacturer was relatively short, just a half-hour journey.
As Elspeth stepped out of the car, her secretary, Mia, awaited her at the entrance with an anxious expression, bordering on tears
Elspeth noticed the distress and immediately asked. “What’s wrong? Why are you crying?”
Mia’s voice trembled with a hint of sobbing as she replied. All of the samples have been completely destroyed
A heavy sense of despair settled in Elspeth’s heart, but she managed to maintain her composure as she calmly inquired, “Was it intentional
“Yes, and the culprit was incredibly careful. We haven’t found a single clue.”
“Are you telling me there’s absolutely no clue?
“Yes, chances are the person slipped in wearing gloves and shoe cover Moreover, they picked the dead of night when everything was calm and silent. No one could have caught a whiff of their presence”
To make matters worse, it occurred in the secluded outskirts where the culprit could carry out their deeds without interruption.
As Mia continued to cry. Elspeth took out a tissue and handed it to her. “There, there. This is not your fault, nor is it à result of any negligence on your part. You are not to blame, so please don’t cry
Mia accepted the tissue, sniffling and expressing her gratitude in a soft murmu.

“Why would you help that person cover up the traces?” Elspeth chuckled and mercilessly tear off the veil of deceit.
Jorman, initially startled by her words, panicked and exclaimed, “Miss Lynwood, I understand that our negligence may have led to this mistake, but you can’t falsely accuse me. How could you pin such a big incident on me?”
“Whether it’s a false accusation or not, don’t you know deep down inside?” With a chuckle, she pointed at the ground and pressed on, “Could you please explain why you chose to clean the area this morning, despite being aware of the theft that occurred last night?”
Caught off guard, Jorman was at a loss for words. He couldn’t come up with any other explanation and could only muster a response with forced confidence. I was simply prioritizing cleanliness without delving into such details.
Then, she directed her attention toward the person standing behind him and called out, “You there, come here for a moment.”
Gordon Tarmin slowly shuffled closer.
“Are you the one in charge of cleaning this area?” she questioned.
Gordon’s eyes widened in surprise. He had been an inconspicuous presence, merely blending into the background. How did he get noticed by her?
His response stumbled out hesitantly. “Umm…”
“Everyone around here has clean shoe soles, except for you. Yours are marked by water stains. You’re likely the one responsible for scrubbing the floor,” she explained.
Elspeth’s analysis was logical and persuasive, making it difficult for anyone not to be convinced.
Realizing that she had already figured it out, Gordon could only lower his head in admission, confessing, “Yes, it was me who was cleaning today.”
“Now, can you explain why you tried to cover up the evidence?”
Seeing Elspeth’s relentless questioning, Jorman swiftly intervened and positioned himself in front of Gordon. “Miss Lynwood, you’re in the wrong here. He’s just an ordinary employee. How can you put such a big blame on him?”
Gordon blinked nervously, and his forehead glistened with sweat.
“Whether my accusation is false or not, let’s cut to the chase and ask him directly. We’ll get to the bottom of it in no time.”
Then, she extended her arm and gave Jorman a push. Although it didn’t seem forceful, he unconsciously stumbled back a few steps.
Witnessing her display of strength, Jorman instantly deflated and dared not to challenge her any further.
Instead of succumbing to anger, Elspeth sported a sarcastic smile as she approached Gordon with her arms crossed. “Tell me, who instructed you to do this? And where is the person who tempered with the samples now?!
