"President Johnson, please speak."

"These fake medicinal materials can fool those who are inexperienced, but you are from a pharmaceutical factory and must be very familiar with these materials, so how could you not realize they are fake?" Sienna Johnson asked, voicing her suspicion.

Jay Cohen explained, "We’ve been collaborating with Eastminster Traditional Herbal Factory for over a year; the medicinal materials have always been high quality and reasonably priced, so we’ve always trusted the factory. This time, my third brother went there and didn’t check thoroughly, who would have thought such a problem would arise?"

"I understand." Sienna Johnson didn’t ask further.

Jay Cohen continued, "President Johnson, you have a vast business, and sure there are many aspects you may overlook, but it’s untenable to completely entrust a factory to one person.

For instance, we three brothers, although we are blood siblings, we account for everything clearly and supervise each other. With rules set and strictly followed, we can ensure long-term development."

"..."

"We have worked with Eastminster Traditional Herbal Factory for a year, and not once have we seen President Johnson. Your foster brother manages the medicinal material factory; over time, it gives your foster brother an illusion that the factory is his, not yours." Jay Cohen pointed out the crux of the problem.

"..."

"Actually, your foster brother is just an employee; without this relationship, how could your foster brother sit in the current position?"

"..."

"Money can sway the heart, and over time, your foster brother won’t think so anymore."

Jay Cohen conversed with Sienna Johnson throughout the journey and understood the situation of Eastminster Traditional Herbal Factory. This young and pretty President Johnson probably wasn’t aware; everything was done recklessly by President Johnson’s foster brother.

"Yes, indeed, people are always greedy..." Sienna Johnson sighed.

Although Sienna Johnson wasn’t sure if the Rafael family thought this way, her "sister-in-law" certainly did.

Thinking of the Hopper family, Sienna Johnson’s face darkened further.

A wise wife is a blessing; Marvin Rafael’s wife, her whole family is not trouble-free.

...

The car drove into Blackwood in the evening, heading straight to the Eastminster Traditional Herbal Factory.

Blackwood Town has developed in the past few years because of Sienna Johnson; if Blackwood Mountain hadn’t been contracted by Sienna Johnson, the herbs on the mountain might have been dug up. Yet, even so, people couldn’t help but climb the mountain to steal herbs to sell.

In the face of money, people expose all their ugliness.

"President Johnson, you can drop us by the roadside, we’ll find a guesthouse to stay for the night." Jay Cohen said.

"Alright."

Sienna Johnson left her contact details for Jay Cohen, personally drove them to the best guesthouse in Blackwood Town, and then drove away.

On the way, Sienna Johnson suddenly said, "Let’s go to Marvin Rafael’s house first!"

"I don’t know the way."

Sienna Johnson directed Adrian Desmond. After several turns, the car arrived in front of the small villa Marvin Rafael had built.

A brand new white BMW was parked at the entrance, and Sienna Johnson’s gaze darkened again.

"Sally, go knock on the door."

"Yes, Madam."

Sally got out of the car and went to knock on the door.

The large iron gate of Rafael’s villa was painted crimson, and Sienna Johnson suddenly thought of a phrase: "Behind the ruby door, the stench of dog meat; roadside, bones frozen to death." 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

"Who is it?"

"Hello, is Marvin Rafael home?"

"Who are you?"

"I am a servant of the Johnson family. Our Madam wishes to visit Marvin Rafael. Is Mr. Rafael at home?" Sally said.

"Sienna Johnson?"

"Yes."

"Not seeing anyone!"

She wanted to close the door, but Sally stood at the entrance, not allowing it; when their Madam wants to see someone, she will bring them before the Madam even under threat.

"Miss, whether to see or not is Marvin Rafael’s decision, not yours!"

"Miss? Who are you calling a miss? You’re the miss!"

Sienna Johnson heard the commotion, got off the car.

Adrian Desmond followed her, cautiously supporting her, protecting her, "Be careful."

Sienna Johnson reached Rafael’s entrance, recognized the girl at the door, "Jenny?"

Jenny, Marvin Rafael’s sister-in-law.

"Sienna Johnson, it really is you. What are you here for? Don’t you know our family doesn’t welcome you?" Jenny looked at Sienna Johnson with hostility, her tone was very unkind.

Sienna Johnson sneered, "Where is Marvin Rafael?"

"I don’t know."

"Where is my mom?"

"Looking for your mom, why come to our house? We don’t have your mom here!" Jenny’s attitude was extremely arrogant.

Adrian Desmond hadn’t interfered, the more arrogant the Hopper family is, the better; their arrogance would exhaust the emotions Sienna Johnson held in her heart.

A bunch of fools!

Infuriating Sienna Johnson could bring no good outcome.

As the stalemate persisted, Marvin Rafael happened to return home.

Seeing Sienna Johnson, Marvin Rafael was surprised beyond measure, "Sister? How come you’re here?"

Sienna Johnson stared at Bryant Robertson, it seemed he had lived well recently, he appeared to have gained weight.

"The car at the entrance is very pretty, did you buy it?"

Marvin Rafael was a bit embarrassed and said, "Ashley insisted on buying it; really, that car is not practical at all, in the countryside where dirt roads are common, the BMW has a low chassis, always scraping against the ground. My East Wind is much better."

"Brother and sister-in-law have such a good relationship."

Marvin Rafael smiled bitterly, "Just living life, the child is almost due, we can’t be arguing all the time."

"..."

"Sister, when did you come? Why didn’t you let me know in advance, I could have picked you up."

Sienna Johnson felt chilly inside; she was heavy with pregnancy, standing in the sun, and Marvin Rafael hadn’t invited her in, only spoke at the door.

"On my way here, I ran into a customer of our factory, his name is Jay Cohen. I wonder if Brother has an impression."

"I know him, a long-standing customer. Is there a problem?" Marvin Rafael looked at her calmly, as if unaware.

"He said our factory sold him fake medicinal materials; their pharmaceutical factory was shut down and came to us."

The door suddenly opened, Ashley Hopper stepped in with a pregnant belly, her entire body puffing up like dough.

"Buying things, money is exchanged for goods. They didn’t say the goods were fake when buying; after taking them home, claiming the goods are fake, they are scamming us?" Ashley Hopper said sharply.

"Jay Cohen said they’ve been collaborating with us for over a year. The medicinal materials we’ve supplied have always been high quality and reasonably priced, so they didn’t check thoroughly. Who knew we gave them fake Traditional Medicine.

Coincidentally, the quality supervision bureau went to their company for checks, discovered the fake medicine, and shut down their pharmaceutical factory."

Jenny said, "So, they’re planning to blame us?"

"..."

"Dream on! If they dare provoke us, we’ll make sure they can’t come back! They think we’re easy to crush?" Jenny shouted.

Jenny’s attitude was more arrogant than when Sienna Johnson first dealt with her.

Who gave them the nerve?
