She lowered her gaze and picked up a shrimp. Slowly and meticulously, she peeled off the shell and popped it into her mouth.

Once Connor finished speaking, Lenora pondered momentarily, swallowing the food in her mouth. "From what you're saying, it does indeed seem like a deliberate targeting."

Connor nodded. "Definitely. The vibe he gave me was that he wasn't interested in solving the problem. He just wanted to deal with my dad."

Lenora couldn't help but smile at his wording.

"But even if the materials have issues, wouldn't the renovation company be responsible for this?"

Connor explained, "My dad's just affiliated with the company. He is the one responsible for the materials."

Lenora nodded knowingly, picking up another large shrimp. She lifted her gaze to meet

Connor's eyes, pursed her lips, and spoke. "I hope you don't mind me asking, but are you certain about the quality of the construction materials your. father uses? It's not that I don't trust you, but this is a crucial matter."

It was hardly surprising that Richie, a kidnapper with no regard for morality or law, would resort to using substandard materials.

But in Connor's eyes, Richie was his beloved and respected father, whom he undoubtedly trusted unconditionally.

It was only a concern that Richie, resigned to not being able to overturn the case, might be keeping Connor in the dark.

Connor stated with absolute certainty, "The quality is fine. My dad is incredibly honest. He's been in this business for years, and nothing like this has ever happened."

Upon hearing him saying Richie was incredibly honest, Lenora lowered her gaze, a trace of irony flashing in her eyes.

Lenora picked up

a piece of pork chop and ate it as she said, "Have you ever considered this scenario? You've just returned to the country and don't have much understanding of the current situation here. In your haste to take on projects, you could have been deceived by material suppliers Connor paused, thinking it over. "That is possible."

Sipping on her warm water, Lenora suggested, "How about this-I can pull some strings to have them retest it. We can also get a private institution to conduct a separate test and see what the results show. If the test results are the same, it's likely that the issue lies with the materials. If your father was unaware, we can hold the supplier responsible. Even if the owner's targeting you, there's not much we can do if the report backs them up."

She paused before adding, "If the test results differ, it's likely a setup. At that point, we should consider1 whether the property owner is in cahoots with the officials."

Lenora, I really can't thank you enough! If it weren't for you, I truly wouldn't
