Medical Genius's Unspeakable Marriage

Chapter 222

Surprised, Samuel asked, “What new factory are you speaking about?”

“It’s the new factory the Cunningham Pharmaceuticals is building,” the other answered. “Mr. Hughes, you’re a prominent man from the Hughes Family in the provincial capital. You could appear personally to a few other important figures in Eastshire, so that they could stop the works at the new construction site.

Not only would this drag their progress and cost them a lot of money, they also wouldn’t be able to produce the orders which they signed, and have to pay liquidated damages in return. Before long, that would definitely put that Cunningham woman in her place!”

Samuel’s eyes twinkled. “That’s not a bad idea. Let’s give it a shot. Alright, that’s what we’ll do. The few of you should start arranging this for me by finding out more information. Don’t worry about anything and just go all out. I’ll back you up no matter what happens!”

The other pharmaceutical owners were delighted when they heard this. What could hold them back now that they have the backing from the Hughes Family?

In the afternoon, while Sasha was having lunch with Matthew, her secretary dashed in with a worried look on her face. “President Cunningham, this is bad. There’s trouble at the construction site!” © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

Matthew frowned. Just after Samuel Hughes had left, trouble cooked up at the construction site. The first thought that popped into Matthew’s mind was that the culprit was the Hughes. With a tensed expression, Sasha asked, “What happened?”

“A few people came and claimed that our new factory is affecting the Feng Shui of their house and started a scene there.

Maybe it’s due to the hot weather, so everyone got easily irritated and started a fist fight after exchanging a few words. One person from the other party is wounded and is at the hospital now.”

Sasha was immediately panic-stricken. Having only been in sales before, she had never run into such a situation and didn’t know that so many troublesome situations would occur at the construction site of a factory. “S-So what is the situation now?” she asked anxiously.

“A group of people have surrounded the site to stop us from continuing with the works, and they even removed quite a few of our construction machines! They also dragged the manager who is in charge of the site to the hospital, claiming that he should pay with his life!”

The stress in Sasha’s voice was clear as she asked, “It’s just one person who’s injured, isn’t it? H-How did it turn into such a huge mess now?”

Her secretary hesitated for a moment before answering, “President Cunningham, I heard that this group of people are the local thugs in that area, and they’re most probably just feigning some injuries deliberately to make a fraudulent claim. How about this, I’ll take a look at the site first and report to you in more detail when I get back?”

Sasha nodded in approval and her secretary left. Looking at her, Matthew asked in a soft voice, “Sasha, why don’t I take a look myself?”

Shaking her head, she said, “Don’t go there. It’s a mess right now and the situation might become worse if you went. Furthermore, those are some rogues. What happens if they hurt you?”

Matthew laughed. “Hurt me? I don’t think it’s that easy!”

She rolled her eyes at him. “Whatever it is, you shouldn’t take the risk! Go back to work for now and I’ll take care of this issue!”

A grin spread across his face when he saw how concerned she was for him. After he said his goodbyes, he went straight to look for Tiger instead of going to the hospital. If the other party wanted to resort to underhand methods, then he would like to see if they had the capacity!

More than an hour had passed before the secretary rushed back and reported to Sasha that the situation at the construction site was more complicated than she had thought.

Those people who had occupied the site and stopped them from continuing with the works were a group of rogues who all disappeared when the police were called in. But once the police left, they would return and prevent the works again, and the construction was now basically in a state of suspension.

Sasha was in deep distress as they had invested a huge amount into that construction. If the works couldn’t be completed according to plan, Cunningham Pharmaceuticals would suffer huge losses. In addition, the most important point of the new factory was to meet the demand of the three-billion order.

If it couldn’t be completed as scheduled, it seemed like the three-billion order couldn’t be delivered as scheduled, either. If that happened, just the liquidated damages alone could topple the whole Cunningham Pharmaceuticals, but there was no solution at the construction site now.
