Investigation on the Herbs (1)
Perhaps the time he spent with Nicholas might have rubbed off on Edward, as he imitated Nicholas by
giving off an imposing aura in a serious expression that caused others to instinctively submit to said
person.
Soon after his “Nicholas” performance, the manager—a chubby middle-aged man—came over.
Looking at the imposing Edward, the manager took the initiative and made an invitation to Edward, as
he did not want to interrupt the store’s business. “Sir, I heard you’re looking for me? How about we
discuss this in my office?”
Edward did not reject the invitation and followed the manager into his office.
After entering the office, the manager served Edward a cup of tea before asking, “May I know your
name and the purpose of your visit?”
“The name’s Jackson. I am an assistant to President Sawyer, the president of the Sawyer Group.”
Edward revealed his identity since it would be easier to get things done this way.
Which was proven true just moments later.
The manager stood up in fear and trepidation the moment he heard that the man before him was from
the Sawyer Group. “May I know what President Sawyer wishes to request from us?”
“Our president wishes to know who bought these herbal medicines. If possible, I would like to check on
the situation during the time of purchase with my own eyes.” Edward took the herbal medicines out
from the gift bag and gave a description of Hayley.
Naturally, the manager dared not go against the request. He immediately asked for someone to check
on the herbal medicines and personally brought Edward into the surveillance room.
In no time at all, the technician had found and displayed the moment when Hayley made the purchase.
Edward stared closely at the screen and realized that Sonia had also accompanied Hayley that day.
Furthermore, the two of them specifically asked for the two herbal medicines that Edward was
investigating.
Wearing a serious expression, Edward narrowed his eyes after viewing the footage.
He pointed at the staff within the footage before uttering in a cold tone, “Is this staff working today? I
would like to meet him.”
The manager rubbed his hands together nervously in response. “Mr. Jackson, the staff in question had
suddenly quit a few days ago. He’s no longer part of our staff.”
Edward’s suspicion turned into certainty that there was something foul at play here. He asked, “If that’s
the case, could you contact him?”
“It should be possible. There are a few of our staff that have his phone number.” Saying that, the
manager asked for someone to get the staff’s contact information.
Unfortunately, the manager was met with a pre-recorded message stating that the number was no
longer in use when he called the staff’s number.
The manager’s smile immediately stiffened, and he realized in hindsight that something was wrong
regarding the matter.
He hung up the phone before explaining anxiously, “Mr. Jackson, although I don’t know what exactly
happened, I assure you that whatever this staff did had nothing to do with our store.”
With a chilling gaze on the manager, Edward warned, “I hope that word doesn’t spread that I was here
to investigate this matter today.”
The manager was relieved as Edward showed no indication of wanting to pursue the matter any
further. He nodded repeatedly while answering, “Don’t worry. I will definitely not let anyone breathe a
word of this.”
Edward nodded in return and left the store. Back in the car, he took his phone out and reported his
findings to Nicholas.
“President Sawyer, I’ve found the place. According to the surveillance footage, Hayley and Sonia had
specifically asked for those two herbal ingredients. Moreover, the staff that made the sale has already
quit with his phone number changed. I suspect that the purchase of the herbal medicines by the Stones
was deliberate.”
In a mildly luxurious office, a shroud of cold air was emanating from Nicholas’ body. His expression
darkened as he listened to the report on the phone.
“Hayley Stone, and the Stone Family.” He spoke in anger while gritting his teeth.
On the other end of the phone call, Edward said in a cautious tone, “President Sawyer, should we do
something about this?”
Nicholas narrowed his eyes that were laced with ruthlessness. “Although there is no clear evidence that
points to the involvement of the Stone Family, they should still be kept in check.”
Edward grunted in agreement.
After pondering for a few seconds, Nicholas ordered, “Go to the hospital now and transfer Old Master
Sawyer into a VIP ward. At the same time, inform the hospital that no one from the Stone Family has
visitation rights.”
“Wouldn’t they be aware that we’re onto them after this arrangement?” Edward was slightly doubtful of
his president’s decision.
Nicholas sneered, “That’s all the better! I want to see just what the Stone Family will do next!”
