Falling in Love With A One-Night Stand

Chapter 297

Anna stood up calmly and tried to make her shirt look flat. When she looked at Richard, she lifted her chin gently and appeared condescending.

She said calmly, “If you don’t believe me, come with us to the Joan Group warehouse and look for yourself, You know what they say about seeing is believing. And you may regret spending so much money renting so many factories.*’

Richard obviously did not believe what Anna told him. He then accompanied them to the Joan Group’s factory in the suburbs, much to her surprise.

When they arrived at the warehouse, they saw that Andrew was directing the workers to move the goods.

Andrew said, “Put it here! Please keep the women’s and men’s clothes separate, or they will all get mixed up.”

Several designers from Lemon were also there to help move the goods. After counting the clothes, John handed the list to his secretary and smiled at Anna, saying, “Okay, that’s perfect. I’ll instruct the treasurer to give you the remaining funds.”

Anna smiled and shook hands with him, saying, “That would be great! Thank you. | hope we can collaborate again later.”

Then John looked over at Richard, who was beside him and said, “Of course, yes. Anna, you’re very trustworthy, so I’m delighted to collaborate with you. Now | must return to the office. I’ll invite you to dinner to celebrate our collaboration.” “Lappreciate it.”

Richard stood at the warehouse door after John left.

•And then he questioned Anna, “Exactly which factory did you make the order from? Tell me, how did you manage to do it?”

Anna said provocatively, with a smile on her face, “Huh? Why should | tell you? Are you trying to rent all the other factories, Richard? But there’s no point in doing so right now. You’d better save yourself some money.

Richard restrained himself from becoming enraged. He said, “We’re going to buy your company sooner or later! So, you shouldn’t be too happy about that. You’re just lucky this time.”

Anna smiled calmly and said, “So, bring it on.”

Richard clenched his fists again, gritting his teeth at her contemptuous demeanor. Then he bolted from the warehouse, thinking, Ada was right. Anna’s nota fool but a sophisticated woman. Besides, she has Wayne on her side. Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

Watching Richard’s receding figure, Anna said to Andrew, “Andrew, you should have a rest now. Let the workers do the work. I’ll treat you all to dinner tonight.”

“Since we have the evidence which showed that it was Richard who started the fire, why don’t you sue him?” Andrew asked as he patted the dust off his clothes.

Anna explained, “Wayne told me we would have to get back at him later. So, now is not the time.”

Anna had always been suspicious of the fire. She didn’t believe the evidence which said that the fire was caused by dry weather and aging wiring. She had a strong suspicion that Richard did all these. Therefore, she asked Ryan to locate where the warehouse manager was staying.

After that, they went there, apprehended him, recorded and videotaped his words, and withheld all of the money Richard had given him.

While they were talking, a truck drove up. Then a driver said to the workers, “Hey! What exactly are you doing? Who opened the door of the warehouse ?”

One of the workers replied, “Ah! | don’t know. We just know we have to move everything inside the warehouse.”

Anna and Andrew both look at them as they hear their conversation.

Andrew approached the truck and spoke with the driver before he drove away.

Following Andrew, Anna asked, “What’s going on?”

Andrew elaborated, “Oh, he’s here to deliver something, but he went to the wrong warehouse. The place he wanted to go was over there.”

Anna nodded.

The road outside the warehouse was extremely narrow, and the driver did not appear to be very skilled in driving. Then the vehicle collided with Lemon’s transport truck with a thud.

Anna was concerned that they would make a big deal out of it, so she stopped him and moved closer to Andrew to take a look.

Much to her relief, the transport truck was only dented because it was much more robust and larger than the vehicle.

Because it had so much stuff inside, that truck appeared very unstable. After shaking a few times, one of the boxes inside fell heavily onto the ground.

Anna and Andrew immediately tried to help the unskillful driver pick up the stuff.

However, at that moment, they heard the driver roar anxiously, “Don’t touch it!”

Hearing that, they both came to a halt.

The driver jumped out of the car and picked up the paper box. He glared at Anna, quickly walked up to the car, and drove away.

Anna regained her composure and said, “What a weirdo!”

Andrew, however, did not respond.

Anna asked him, “What’s wrong? Andrew, what are you looking at?

“Anna, look what this is,” Andrew said, pointing to the white powder on the ground.

Anna froze, then frowned, remembering how nervous the driver had been a moment earlier.

In the evening, the four people met in Anna’s apartment.

Wayne and Anna sat on the double couch next to two single sofas occupied by Ryan and Andrew.

They placed an A4 sheet of paper on the coffee table alongside the white powders on the floor. The powder was mixed with gray particles.

Ryan took a long look at the paper before saying, “I’m not sure what this is, so I’ll have to show it to some of my friends who majored in chemistry. However, | think maybe what you say is correct. It might be illegal drugs.”

Anna shook her head as if she couldn’t believe what she saw. She inquired, “Do you believe the Joan group have done this? | asked around, and their warehouse is not open to the public. This warehouse is only accessible to employees of their company.”
