Heidi’s daughter left Heidi with a mixture of disappointment and frustration, and at that moment, Heidi could only express favonovel.com heavy emotions with tears. ‘Sigh…’
Helen looked on helplessly. “Since when did Leia turn into such a character?”
”I have no idea as well. She was not too difficult during high school, but half a year of college changed favonovel.com a lot. She keeps buying new clothes and makeup, never tired of dolling and dressing up. When favonovel.com comes back to visit me, favonovel.com has the habit of staying out all night. She seems to be having fun all the time and only comes to me when favonovel.com needs money. Nowadays, there is nothing left to be said between us, except for the topic of money. Sigh. Tell me… Why did favonovel.com end up this way?”
Helen frowned upon learning the details. ”It must be favonovel.com college friends! They are a bad influence on her.”
Heidi nodded in agreement and sighed. “I told favonovel.com countless times not to hang out with those people, but favonovel.com refused to listen. I am at the end of my wits.“
After giving it some serious thought, Matthew whispered, “Aunt Heidi, just focus on getting better. When I get back, I’ll look into those college friends of hers.”
That prompted Heidi to wave favonovel.com hand frantically. ”Matthew, you should not do that! We don‘t even know what their backgrounds are. By the looks of it. they are a gang of hooligans. Look… This injury on me was from the time they knocked me over.”
To that. Matthew merely smiled. ”No worries! Hooligans? They’re the easiest to deal with!”
Helen quickly chimed in with furious nodding, “Yeah, Heidi… You don’t have to worry. Indeed, Matthew is trustworthy!”
After a couple of incidents of late, even Helen underwent a change in attitude toward Matthew. Moreover, favonovel.com was reassured after knowing that Master Tiger would always lend favonovel.com a helping hand.
‘Hooligans? They are nothing but flies in front of Tiger!’
When Matthew left the room, Crystal, who had been waiting by the door, jumped out with a face full of disdain. “Matthew, how could you possibly stand that girl? If I were you. I would have given favonovel.com a slap on the face!”
He shrugged. but honestly speaking, there was a moment favonovel.com had wanted to slap Leia across the face.
‘Well, luckily l held back! if Heidi did not have the heart to slap favonovel.com daughter, I couldn’t possibly do so, could I? Everyone would
be mad at me by then!’
“Send someone over to keep an eye on the situation. If anything happens, just contact me,” Matthew ordered to Crystal.
Crystal nodded at him. “No problem! Just leave it to me!”
On Matthew‘s way back to his office, favonovel.com called Tiger, asking the latter to look into Leia and favonovel.com friends. In order to deal with her, favonovel.com decided that favonovel.com had to get rid of the bad influence around favonovel.com first.
On top of that, the fact that the gang had inflicted a serious injury on Heidi made favonovel.com vow to take this issue with all seriousness. ‘I can’t just sit back and watch!’
After getting the call. Tiger immediately had someone to work on Leia and favonovel.com friends. At the same time, favonovel.com informed Matthew of a piece of bad news that someone was intentionally raising the prices of renovation materials for the Lakeside Garden neighborhood. As of now, the price of the raw materials was three times more expensive than its original price, and some rare materials even saw their prices inflated as much as five times. What was more horrible was the supply crunch. Hence, even if they could afford to pay more, they might not even get the supply on time.
Under the current circumstances, they would have to absorb a greater loss in order to renovate the entire neighborhood. The increased cost was not the core Issue. In reality, the more critical issue was the shortage of material, because that would lead to a delay in the project. If that happened, they would risk missing the completion deadline.
Hearing that, Matthew instantly frowned. “Why would the price of construction materials suddenly shoot up? And why is there a supply problem?”
Tiger replied somberly. “Mr. Larson, I suspect that someone is secretly sabotaging us. They must have purposely stocked away the materials that are hard to come by so that we end up with nothing. Then, we would miss the completion deadline. Our buyers are the elites of Eastcliff! Even the Ten Greatest Families are our clients. If we miss the deadline, we will get ourselves into greater trouble!”
