Billionaire's Regret: Losing Me And Our Son - Chapter 170: Chapter 170

Given the strict quality control for the Dazzling Project, it was absolutely impermissible to use substandard building material substitutes.
However, waiting for the materials to be inspected and confirmed as meeting the standards implied that the construction would have to be paused for half a month.
I didn't need Jess to remind me what a delay of half a month meant. Every day of delay would cause huge losses to the Dazzle Group and Madden Group.
The engineering team's contract stipulated that salaries were paid according to the project's progress. Currently, the party at fault was the Madden Group, as the errors in building materials were also due to the Madden Group's inadequate supervision.
As a result, the Madden Group was liable to pay double compensation for all losses incurred.
Jess frowned and asked, "Ms. Hinton, what exactly is going on? How could you make such a low-level mistake?"
Raelynn gave Jess a look, indicating that he should pay attention to his words.
"I will give you an explanation as soon as possible." I promised Jess.
"It's best that way, but I'm not sure how the top management at Dazzle Group will react when they find out. You might want to prepare for the worst. The priority now is to thoroughly review the contract for the purchase of building materials," Jess reminded me.
Thus, Raelynn and I immediately returned to the Madden Group's office building.
"Ms. Hinton, carefully recall the scene when you signed the procurement contract." Raelynn reminded me, "That should be the time when I applied for sick leave."
I immediately nodded. "That's right. When we ordered the building materials, you were hospitalized with acute gastritis. It was Gemma who handled the details. Before signing the contract, I reminded her of some details, especially the delivery cycle."
Raelynn suddenly understood. "That means that the contract was also handled by Gemma."
"Ask Gemma to come over. She should know best," I instructed Raelynn.
However, after a while, Raelynn rushed to the office. "The human resources department said that Gemma didn't come to work yesterday."
I asked, "Can't you contact Gemma on the phone?"
Raelynn looked troubled. She shook her head and said, "Not only can't I contact her, but her phone number is also out of service."
I had a bad feeling. I couldn't help but suspect that Gemma had deliberately planned this...
"Raelynn, come with me to Gemma's rented apartment." I grabbed my car keys and immediately rushed toward the elevator. I had been invited to Gemma's apartment before, so I naturally remembered the address.
After Raelynn and I arrived, we rushed toward Gemma's apartment. Coincidentally, the door was open. I pushed it open forcefully. "Gemma, are you there?"
"Are you here to look for Gemma?" A slightly plump woman stood in the room.
Raelynn and I stood rooted to the ground, staring at each other.
"Hello, who are you?" Raelynn took the initiative to ask.
The woman frowned and looked me and Raelynn up and down.
"You must be Gemma's friends. You came at the right time. I'm Gemma's landlord!" The landlord scolded angrily, "Gemma moved away without saying anything. She owes me a month's rent. I couldn't contact her today, so I specially went to take a look. Only then did I realize that she had emptied all the furniture in my apartment. Hurry up and tell me where she went!"
When I heard this, I looked into the house and saw that the originally full small apartment was empty. The sofa and dining table had disappeared. Those who didn't know better would think that it had been robbed.
My face sank as I suddenly realized that Gemma had already escaped.
Raelynn was also stunned when she saw this. She muttered repeatedly, "What's going on?"
"Could it be that Gemma also lied to you?" The landlord spat and continued to scold, "Motherfucker, she's a piece of shit. I pitied her before, so I gave her a month. I didn't expect to meet such an ungrateful woman. No, I have to call the police. Don't leave. Who knows if you guys are colluding?"
