Eric, realizing that she was running out of strength, felt a tinge of guilt. We didn't know you were coming. Had we known in advance, we would surely have found a way to clear a path first, making it easier for you to traverse. But Miss Rowland, don't worry. This road is only in such a state on rainy days. It's usually not like this."

"It doesn't matter. Just keep going Thea gritted her teeth and pressed on, while beginning to mull things over in her mind.

This company was called Sparkle Rocks. It mainly dealt with the production of jadeite and jade, and occasionally supplied raw stones to those stone gambling dens.

Thea had visited the other factories. Most of them were closer to the urban area, but this particular factory was surprisingly

remote.

However, it was said to be the factory with the finest quality of raw stones.

Grandpa had merely mentioned it briefly in his letter, suggesting that she consider shutting down the factory.

Although the quality of the raw stone mine was good, the transportation was inconvenient, resulting in a low output.

In fact, it was just over a kilometer in a straight line, yet it took Thea half an hour to walk.

Upon arriving at the destination, she simply plopped down on the bench in the courtyard, no longer caring about her appearance at this moment.

During the journey, she had gained a much deeper understanding of the inconvenient transportation.

Moreover, this place was so remote that even if a grand road-budding project were to be launched, there would be no economic benefits, meaning no one was willing to invest. Without funds, naturally,
