Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted Chapter 1582 [Eleven Jewell]

Maggie walked over to where Stella was sitting and placed several sample pieces on the desk beforesaying softly, “Ms. Hall, the top row here are the

samples of our new product for this month, and the two below are from the batch two weeks ago.Please have a look.”

Stella grabbed her jeweler’s loupe and examined the items on the table. Then,

she frowned and asked, “Why are there so many cracks on these pieces?”

Maggie pursed her lips and said, “All the items made from the latest batch of raw materials have thesame issue. A customer is coming this afternoon to pick

up her order, but I had to make up an excuse to postpone it. We can’t give our customers products assuch. They’re all experts and can easily tell how bad the

quality these are.”

Maggie paused briefly before being more straightforward,” Ms. Hall, I understand that business mightbe tough lately due to the rising raw material

and labor costs, but we can’t compromise on quality. That is what jewelry enthusiasts care about themost. We can’t cut corners just to lower our cost.”

Stella was speechless.

“Did you think that I ordered lower-quality materials to save money?”

Maggie was taken aback, “It wasn’t you?”

Stella massaged her temples. “The cost of raw materials has never been cheap,

and I would never order bad quality materials just to save money.” She lifted her gaze and continued,“When did you notice these materials had issues? If

“Yesterday. One of our customers wanted to check the progress of her order, so I went to fetch theitems and found out that half of the materials we had were

subpar.” After a brief pause, Maggie lowered her voice and added, “I thought it was because youwanted to save money.”

Stella replied in a deep tone, “It wasn’t me, but I have an idea who might’ve done this.”

Stella thought it would take some time before that person took action, but it seemed he could not waitany longer.

Then, she lifted her gaze and asked, “Is there anyone in the company whom you have a goodrelationship with and can be trusted?”

“The assistant manager and Shirley from the logistics department.”

“Don’t let anyone know about this; please make a dinner reservation tonight. I want to have a chat withthem.”

“Sure.”

Now that the fish had taken the bait, it was time to reel it in.

Chris had been quite nervous about purchasing lower-grade materials behind Stella’s back. However, aweek passed, and Stella seemed ignorant of what

happened.

Then, he grew even bolder. After all, Stella was new to the industry, and he thought she could notdiscern the quality of the raw materials even if he

switched them.

He was not worried about other people in the company who could tell the difference because Darciewas his relative. Plus, they would not dare to expose

him anyway.

The money he gained from switching to lower-grade materials was way more than what he had earnedfrom selling leftover materials. He regretted not doing

this earlier as he would have probably paid off his loans by now.

One day, Chris received a call from his supplier demanding payment for his recent orders because theyreceived some new stock and needed extra funds.

Chris was baffled, “What? I already settled the bill a few days ago.”

The person in charge replied, “That was only a part of it, and the rest you had someone collect is stillunpaid. We’ve worked together for so long and wouldn’t

normally ask for the payment so soon. However, you’ve taken too many of our stocks on credit, and ourcash flow is affected. We can’t order any new materials

if you don’t pay us now. It’d be greatly appreciated if you could understand the situation. Please settleat least half of the outstanding amount.”

Chris frowned, “You must be mistaken. I personally made all the purchases and never had anyonecollect anything for me. If The person in charge’s expression changed, “Mr. Poole, this is not right. That

person was from your company. Who else could’ve sent that person other than you?”

“It’s got to be a misunderstanding. I’m the only person managing the purchases at The Velvet, and I’venever authorized anyone to make any orders. Please

doublecheck. I have a call to take.”

Chris hung up the phone before the other person could say anything.

That person was agitated and had been trying to contact Chris for the next three

days. However, Chris was too preoccupied with exploiting the company and had

no time to be bothered by that.

Not only did Chris not pay up, but he also denied making all the orders.

Eventually, the person in charge had no choice but to reach out to Stella.novelbin
