Chapter 132 Twists and Turns Grant froze for a moment, staring at Hugo in confusion. "What do you mean by that? Did they run away?" Hugo replied, "Think about it. Their phones are off, which means they don't want to be found. Why would they stick around at the factory waiting for us? That would only get them into more trouble. And even if we find them, what can we do? When I cto look for you, I checked the records. This batch of goods was signed off by an old employee, but that employee resigned on the sday." He added, "The inspection sheet has our company's signature, which means we accepted the goods. If we report it to the police, they could accuse us of swapping the goods on purpose. Who would believe us? We'd just have to take the loss." Hugo finished with a sigh, feeling helpless. They had no way to defend themselves and needed to find a solution quickly to avoid stalling the company's project.
When the mall construction began, many were eager to invest. Now, with Leon still unconscious, any news of a halt could make investors pull out immediately. They couldn't afford that.
"It's my fault. When Mr. Cooper got into his accident, I should have overseen everything personally. Then we wouldn't have been taken advantage of," Grant said, clenching his fists and taking the blon himself.
Hugo patted his shoulder gently. "No one could have predicted an old employee would betray the company. I think this was all planned out. Otherwise, how did the supplier manage to deliver the goods so fast after the incident? Let's figure out what to do next and report to Mr. Ronald Cooper. If necessary, contact other suppliers to see if anyone is willing to cooperate." "There's no other way. As long as we can get a new batch of materials within two days, the project won't be halted," Grant said, calming down after hearing Hugo's plan.

Grant sat back in his chair, about to make a call when the office phone rang. He glanced at it, seeing an unknown number.
He hesitated but answered. The other side spoke first, "Hello, is this Grant?" "Yes, it is." "I heard you're short on materials. Our company has a batch we can't use. Do you need them?" Grant's face lit up with surprise. This was a turn of events. Just as they discovered a problem with one batch, a new offer cin. But this time, Grant was cautious. He couldn't afford another mistake.
"Who is this?" he asked.
The caller sensed his hesitation and introduced himself. "I'm Finnian, the manager at Northside Company. Emery Franklin is my boss." Grant immediately understood. Leon had mentioned Emery before and told Grant and Hugo that Tiffany was the company's biggest shareholder, so this person was trustworthy.
"That's great. When can you deliver the materials? The company is willing to pay double." "No need for that. I'll deliver them in a couple of days, and we can sign the contract at the original price," Finnian replied, not wanting to take advantage of the situation. Emery had insisted on delivering the materials properly. After the call, Finnian hung up.

At the hospital, Tiffany had just received a call from Emery about the materials.
"Tiffany, Finnian has contacted the Cooper Group. We have sextra, so I asked Finnian to deliver them. I'll cover too and check on you. I've been so busy with the company's projects that I haven't been able to keep up with your situation. How's Leon doing?" Tiffany was surprised by Emery's quick response. She had planned to contact Emery in a few days for help. Now, with Emery handling the Cooper Group's issue, the company had no major problems.
But when Emery mentioned Leon, Tiffany's tone becsomber. "Emery, I'm fine, but Leon... he hasn't shown any signs of waking up." Emery fell silent for a moment. "Tiffany, I'll drive over now. You rest well. No matter what happens, we're here for you." "It's getting late." Tiffany worried about Emery driving at night, but Emery interrupted her.

"Sophia, don't you have an event today?" "I postponed it. I wanted to see if you're taking care of yourself," Sophia said, smiling as she walked in and linked arms with Tiffany, playfully leaning on her.
Tiffany ruffled Sophia's hair and rested her head on Sophia's shoulder. "By the way, Sophia, Emery is coming to Harmony City too." Sophia's eyes widened with excitement. "Really?" Tiffany nodded and told Sophia about the call.
"That's great! We can all get together. When I'm busy, Emery can keep you company," Sophia said.
Tiffany knew Sophia and Emery were worried about her, but after m everything that had happened, she had grown used to it. She waited calmly for Leon to wake up, hiding her pain from her close friends. Tiffany looked up, seriously meeting Sophia's eyes. "Sophia, you don't need to worry about me. I'm doing fine..."
"Tiffany, you're my best friend. I have to be here for you," Sophia said, her words making Tiffany's nose tingle snose with emotion. She hugged Sophia's arm tightly, not wanting to let go.
Lever For the first time, Tiffany showed her vulnerability in front of someone. Her voice softened. "Sophia, thank you for being here and never doubting my choices." "Silly Tiffany, you always think things through before making decisions. Of course, I'll support you. If you want to reconcile with Leon, I won't blyou. I know he saved Flora, and I'm grateful to him." Sophia's voice wavered with emotion, her eyes reddening. Just as they were sharing this tender moment, the door opened, and a stranger walked in.
