Mr Carroll Went Crazy After Divorce

Aurora’s mind was completely focused on the fabric, with no time to pay attention to the tension between them.

“Since you’re here, why don’t you go take a look?” Sion turned and glanced at the two experts. They understood his meaning and headed towards the operating room.

The three remaining people were silent for a while. Soon enough, one of the experts came back holding a testing instrument.

“Mr Carroll, we found excessive amounts of chemical agents in this batch of finished fabrics.”

Albie raised an eyebrow in confusion, “Finished products?”

The two inspectors he brought along had checked from previous processes. How could they find problems so quickly?

Sion looked at the expert seriously and asked, “Is it the only problem?”

“Yes, Mr Carroll.”

The experts looked serious as they explained the test results in detail.

Sion sensed something strange about this result. It was highly likely that someone deliberately sabotaged them. How could there be no problem with raw materials but finished fabrics showed excessive amounts?

Sion’s cold gaze fell on the factory manager as he spoke icily, “It seems like your internal system needs some serious reorganization.”

Aurora also understood what was going on when she heard about these results. She turned to look at the factory manager with furrowed brows and asked, “Did you not conduct detailed inspections before?”

“We did!” The factory manager trembled as he hastily grabbed a prepared inspection report from beside him.

“How could we not be careful with such a big order? After dyeing is done we still do random checks regularly without any problems occurring before. Who would have thought that…” Said the manager.

Suddenly someone reported that their chemical agents weren’t up to standard and formaldehyde levels exceeded limits, then after testing it did show some issues. But they never had any problems before.

Aurora took hold of inspection papers from his hands and carefully examined every detail but found nothing about the fabric exceeding standards. It seemed like someone intentionally caused this issue.

“When did someone come over for an inspection?”

“Yesterday.”

“Okay, I know.” She knew it was useless to question the factory manager now. She needed to find out the cause and effect of this matter first.

“Thank you for your hard work. Try to have more security guards patrolling in the factory these few days, and don’t let any accidents happen again.” Said Aurora.

“Sure.”

Sion saw that they had found the reason and spoke seriously, “Since we have a result now, we need to go through every step as soon as possible. The problem should be with your internal staff.”

Aurora glanced at him but didn’t refute. Although she didn’t want to admit it, she owed him today. “Thank you.” Said she.Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

Sion raised his hand and lightly brushed her nose with his finger, and with a natural sense of indulgence in his voice., he said, “You never have to say thank you when you’re with me.”

Aurora was surprised by his sudden action and froze for a moment. She had seen him do this gesture before with Morgan.

Was he treating her like a child?

Her face felt hot from embarrassment but decided not to argue with him since he helped her today.

“I’ll leave it at that for today,” Aurora said as she stood up awkwardly.

Albie watched their interaction painfully. He even had an impulse to pull her over next to him. But he knew where he stood; he was only her brother now and shouldn’t make any inappropriate moves anymore.

“Albie, I’m sorry if this issue causes your company any impact.” Said Aurora.

Feeling that something wasn’t right about Albie’s mood, Aurora thought maybe this incident troubled him too much so waited for him patiently while saying sorry for causing trouble.

“Why are you being so polite?” Albie asked jokingly. He wanted to reach out and rub her head instinctively but thought about Sion’s intimate behaviour earlier on so he just smiled instead, “Don’t worry about it. I’ll stand by your side no matter what happens.”

“Thanks,” Aurora replied gratefully, feeling relieved that there were no longer any barriers between them after the proposal.

At the door, Albie spoke first, “I’ll head back first. If anything comes up we can contact each other.”

“Okay.”

Albie turned around and glanced at the man standing next to her. Somehow, he felt they seemed to match each other.

He quickly averts his eyes from them.

“Aurora, should you take me out for dinner?” Sion looked calmly at the woman in front of him, in a good mood. Finally, they were alone together again.

Before Aurora refused, she saw the factory behind her and remembered that he had just helped her. She swallowed her words and put on a fake smile, “I’m sorry, Mr Carroll, I might be busy today. Can we reschedule another day for me to express my gratitude?”

Sion covered his mouth with his hand and blocked the upward curve of his lips.

“Okay then.” He seemed disappointed for a moment before saying seriously, “Shall I send you back?”

“We drove here.” Aurora maintained a stiff smile politely and said, “Thank you, Mr Carroll.”

After that, she turned around and left briskly on her own while Anna quickly nodded at Sion before following after her.

As Sion watched their backs disappear into the distance, his smile grew wider and he glanced at David before saying, “Let’s go.”

On the way back to the company, Aurora had already suspected something was wrong so she called Mr L immediately and told Anna to inform all major media outlets beforehand.

Early the next morning when Aurora was feeling anxious about everything going on, Anna rushed in with some news.

“There’s some news.”

“What is it?”

“The media has already received results showing formaldehyde exceeding standards as well as samples containing excessive chemical agents, which were supposed to be exposed tomorrow morning.”

Aurora’s face darkened. Then she asked urgently, “What happened now?!”

“It’s strange.” Anna frowned without any clue, “Someone stopped them earlier than expected. According to our friends from media outlets, it cost quite a bit of money.”

Aurora knew that news like this would be hot off the press, so buying time wouldn’t come cheap. But who could have done all this?

“Do you know who did it?”

Anna looked at her silently, shaking her head indicating no idea. Aurora sighed and didn’t ask any further. However, it wasn’t long before she found out who had helped her out.
