At ease, Ms. Downey stood up from the chair steadily and smoothed her clothes out. She lifted her chin
when her eyes rested upon Franklin, which shown a sense of arrogance.
“If you have any doubts, just come with Mr. Wright and me. We can go together to the warehouse of
Joann Group and check the products. You will believe what I have said the moment you see it by
yourself. And I’m afraid that the foundry which cost you a lot will be a total waste.”
***
The warehouse of Joann Group lies in the southern suburbs of the city. Obviously, Franklin didn’t
believe in her words at all, so he followed Ms. Downey to the warehouse.
Dante was right there, personally directing the workers to carry the products. “ This way, this way. And
remember to separate the male ones from the female’s. Don’t mix them, so that it will be easy for them
to get the products,” Dante said.
Some designers who were under Dante and 100 percent trusted by Dante were also there, helping to
carry the products in person.
Mr. Wright gave the delivery note to the secretary beside him after he had checked the products. He
smiled at Ms. Downey and said to his secretary, “All right. Give these papers to the accounts and ask
them to pay the balance to Green Lemon Clothing as soon as possible.” Ms. Downey smiled, shook
hands with Mr. Wright and said to him, “Thank you very much Mr. Wright. And I hope that we could
have a good cooperation.”
“Ms. Downey, you are such an honest partner that I really look forward to have further cooperation with
you.” Mr. Wright stopped smiling, glanced at Franklin and said to Ms. Downey, “Ms. Downey, I still have
some things to deal with, so I have to go now. Let’s make it next time to celebrate it together.”
“Mr. Wright. You are welcome.” “...”
Franklin kept standing still at the gate of the warehouse after Mr. Wright left. He asked angrily, “How did
you do that? Which foundry did you find?”
“And then? Are you going to rent it?” Ms. Downey replied him, staring at him with her crossed and
smiling aggressively. Then she kept saying, “But, Mr. Wright, it is meaningless for you to do so now. Do
not waste your money.”
Franklin clenched his fists so hard that people around him could hear the sound coming from his finger
joints. He hung on to his anger and said, “Ms. Downey, ST Group will take over Downey Group sooner
or later. It’s just a matter of time. Don’t count your chickens before they hatch”
“Well, I am awaiting. Franklin, you just do whatever you want.”
Franklin was irritated when he noticed that Ms. Downey cared nothing about what he had said. He
clenched his fists and left the warehouse at a great pace.
‘Viola is right. Ms. Downey is really shrewd and difficult to tackle. Moreover, Joseph is always there to
help her. I am so negligent.’ Franklin thought.
After Franklin left, Ms. Downey turned round, stopped Dante and said to him, “All right. Stop doing that.
There are workers Tell the team members we will have dinner together tonight. Everyone has been
working hard recently.”
Dante clapped his hands and gave a glance at Franklin’s far back with worry. He asked, “Now that we
have found evidence that he deliberately caused the fire, why not report him?”
Following Dante’s gaze, Ms. Downey glanced in the distance. Franklin had already got in the car and
left, with the car becoming a spot and then gradually disappearing.
She said, “Joseph said we will get even with them for the new crime and old crime. Leave them
together. Take our time. ”
The fire in the warehouse was a coincidence. Although many sources confirmed that the fire was
naturally caused by the aging circuit and the dry weather. But Ms. Downey did not believe it. Her sixth
sense told her that this incident was related to Franklin.
Later, Benjamin found a few classmates specializing in network data in the school and they found the
hotel information about the escaping person in charge of the warehouse. He directly took several men
over and caught the escaping person. The recording, the video and some cash that the man in charge
of the warehouse got from Franklin after the fire, were also detained as evidence.
While they were talking, A big truck stopped in front of the transport cart. A driver wearing a cap and
making brim very low stuck his head out, with a cigarette in his mouth. He asked unhappily, “What are
you doing here? Who opened the door of the warehouse?”
The worker in charge of carrying products here responded casually, “We have no idea who opened the
door of the warehouse. All that we know is that we need to carry these products into the warehouse.”
The voice attracted Ms. Downey and Dante’s attention. Dante went to them asked what had happened.
With one in the car and one on the ground, the two people talked for a long time with some body
languages, then the driver drove the truck away.
“What happened? ” Ms. Downey asked. “ The driver found the wrong warehouse,” replied Dante, “The
driver came to deliver the goods. He memorized the location of the warehouse incorrectly. The place
he was going was several rows away from us, not here.”
“Oh I see.” Ms. Downey nodded clearly.
The driver’s driving skills don’t seem to be very good, and it’s not easy for him to reverse the truck. Ms.
Downey saw that the rear of the truck hit her transport cart with a sound of “roll”.
“Hey? What unqualified skills!” The driver of her own transport cart stood aside. His face drooped when
he heard the sound, and then he turned to ask for reasons.
Ms. Downey was afraid that he would make some troubles. So she stopped the man and went to check
for the situation with Dante.
It was not a very serious accident. The truck driver was not good at reversing and the truck rubbed
against the side of the transport cart. The transport cart is much larger than the truck, and it”s just that
the outer shell of the transport cart has been dented a bit. It was not a big deal.
But the truck was rather miserable. Maybe because there were a lot of products inside the truck, it was
shaking and then a box fell from the truck and hit the concrete floor.
Ms. Downey and Dante came to help before the driver got off the truck. The driver scolded them before
they touched the box, “Hey. Don’t touch my things.” Then Ms. Downey and Dante stopped squatting.
The driver rushed over at a great pace, picked up the box very quickly, and glared at Ms. Downey.
Soon the driver drove the truck away, without apologizing. It took Ms. Downey a long time to earth to
herself. She said reluctantly, “What a mean man!”
Dante didn't respond for a while. And then Ms. Downey asked, “Dante, what are you looking at?”
“What’s this ?” said Dante. Following Dante’s gaze, Ms. Downey saw the white powder on the concrete
floor. She got stunned at first. And when the nervous face of the truck driver appeared in her mind, she
felt shocked and worried.
The night was coming, inside the living room of Ms. Downey’s apartment sat Ms. Downey and Joseph
side by side on the two-seater sofa. On the single sofa at both ends of the table, sat Benjamin and
Dante, one in each side.
There was a piece of paper on the table, inside which was the white powder. It was not very clean, but
with some gray particles.
Benjamin stared at the paper for a while and then he said, “I need to take this to my classmate and ask
him to test it then we will know. We can’t identify by eyes. But according to your description, it’s almost
the thing we talk about.”
Ms. Downey frowned. She still couldn’t believe what she had seen although it has been half a day
since she discovered the powder.
“If it’s really the thing we talk about, how much does this matter have to do with Joann Group? Dante
and me have made sure that the warehouse of Joann Group is not rented out, but for the group’s own
use.”
