Dorothy initially wanted to believe them.
They were family and her father was Grandma’s biological son after all.
However, as she watched the business cars drive in, her beliefs and hopes were crushed in an instant.
‘Police cars might show up next!’
‘Heh, what irony.’
Mr. Roberts’ full name was Marshall Roberts. He greeted Joanne with a smile as soon as he got out of the car. The Assexes weren’t the most powerful family in California, but they were still fairly well known.
Marshall signalled his underlings with a wave. His underlings checked the materials in the storage and reported back to him. “All the materials are indeed from Thousand Leaves.”
Marshall nodded and turned to Dorothy. “Ms. Assex, I’ve received a report that your company is selling materials from the famous Thousand Leaves of California. However, this requires a permit from Thousand Leaves, or the regional distributing
company, for it to be sold in the market. Please show us the permit for your company.
Anderson and Emma watched Dorothy excitedly.
Even the old lady looked on smugly.
Sending Dorothy to jail was nothing to Joanne. She despised how Dorothy teamed up with an outsider to steal the subsidiary company in City South. To her, this was an absolute disrespect to her and the family. She didn’t need such an ungrateful granddaughter.
Suddenly, Alex took out a document and handed it to Marshall.
The Assexes’ smiles faded and their expressions froze.
“What is that?”
“It can’t be a permit, right?”
Marshall looked at the document thoroughly and realized that it really was a permit from Thousand Leaves.
Although he had the heart to help Joanne, he was a public official. He couldn’t afford to be biased at times like these unless he wanted to get fired.
“Let me have a look! ” The old lady snatched the document out of Marshall’s hands.
Joanne’s face turned pale.
If this was a permit from Assex Constructions, she would be able to dismiss it with a random excuse. However, this permit was from the main branch of Thousand Leaves.
