Two days later, Lenora received two reports on the substandard materials used by Richic.

One was from a private evaluation agency, and the other was from a re-examination by the relevant authorities.

The wording of the two reports differed slightly, but their conclusions were the same: there were indeed problems with the materials.

Lenora speculated with the utmost suspicion that Richie must have known about the material issues but had feigned ignorance and even confidently let Connor have the materials assessed to confirm his supposed lack of awareness.

The previous data Gordon had shared indicated that Richie had moved his entire family abroad under the guise of a job transfer. In the early years abroad, they lived quite well, far beyond what his salary could support. The Morris family wasn't wealthy initially, with limited s Gradually, their standard of living declined, and by the time they returned home, it had reverted to the level they'd had domestically.

In theory, since the Morris family had bought a house abroad for Richie's job transfer, his salary should have been high, and their quality of life should have improved. Yet, it worsened.

Lenora guessed that Richie never had any high-paying job abroad and relied entirely on some illicit fortune provided by someone in the background. When that money was exhausted, their living standards naturally fell.

After returning to the country, Richie wanted to re-enter the renovation business but lacked both connections and funds. Driven by a need to make money, he used substandard materials and embezzled part of the owners' materials budget.

However, Lenora's goal was to help Connor solve this issue and earn his trust, not to expose Richie just yet.

She'd let him keep pretending to be unaware for now. First, she'd pull out the supplier behind the defective materials as leaving them around would only bring harm to others.

Lenora sent the electronic versions of both reports to Connor: The test results are out. The materials are substandard. Mr. Morris was likely deceived by the supplier.

Connor must have been quite shocked to see the reports.

The chat interface showed "typing" from his side for several moments before he finally replied a few minutes later: Understood. I'll explain everything to my dad, then report the supplier to the relevant authorities and demand compensation. Lenora replied: Do you want me to find you a lawyer?

Connor: Yes, please. My dad and I aren't familiar with the market here, and we're getting taken advantage of by the supplier. Thanks, Ms. Wilkin. If it weren't for you, I'd probably still be hitting a wall right now.

Lenora: You're welcome. When are you free over the next two days? Let's set up a meeting with the lawyer and bring the receipts for the materials Mr. Morris purchased.

Connor: How about tonight? I'm off work at five-thirty. Ms. Wilkin, please schedule an appointment with the lawyer.
