    Chapter 251 The Bad Guy Wins Again


    Grayson promptly entered my office, and I instructed him tomence 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 ryed.


    “Liora?” I was surprised. How did she be involved in this?


    Grayson exined, “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 coboration, there was friction.


    “Matthew substituted Tobshampton Group’s genuine product with subpar materials in the construction


    process, utilizing a small factory for production. With minor alterations, he passed them off as


    authentic.


    “So, when the incident urred, 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.


    Hearing my response, Eleanor sighed andughed 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 yed, 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.
