CHAPTER 103 YOU WILL BE DRIVEN AWAY! I SAID IT!
Chapter 103 You Will Be Driven Away! I Said It!
Just a moment ago, Romeo and his family were feeling proud and confident, but now their faces were filled with panic. Without the raw materials, they would have to stop production. The actions of these suppliers had directly cut off Lowe's Pharmaceutical's lifeline. So many orders were waiting for them; if production was halted, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Now it was Miranda's turn to enjoy the show as Cara and Miranda looked on with satisfaction at Romeo's ugly expression. Emmanuel also chuckled indifferently, "Romeo, Miranda has worked hard to run this pharmaceutical company well. How come since you took over, all the suppliers have stopped supplying? Are you capable or not?"
"I... I..." Romeo's face had turned red!
"Don't gloat over our misfortune! In my opinion, those suppliers are just jealous of our profits and want to use this as leverage to get a piece of the pie!" Harlow said angrily before turning to Romeo, "Dad, Felix doesn't have enough influence; why don't you call them yourself? It won't hurt if we allow them to raise prices!"
Romeo and Eliza brightened up at Harlow's suggestion.
"Yes! These envious people see that we're making money so they want in on it too!" Eliza chimed in before snorting coldly at Cara, "You want to see us fail? No way! As long as we give them some sweeteners, they'll definitely supply us again! What's wrong with that?"
Cara smiled slightly but her expression showed otherwise when she heard Eliza's words, "I'm not so sure about that."
Despite saying so out loud though she wasn't entirely convinced herself; she felt that Harlow might be right.
"Don't worry," Lachlan said smilingly towards Cara after hearing what she said earlier.
Hearing this remark made Cara think Lachlan was trying to flatter her but asked him anyway, "Is that true?"
"Lachlan," Harlow sneered disdainfully after hearing what he said next while rolling her eyes at him. "I know you can't stand seeing us do well and want us embarrassed instead. But do you really believe what you just said? Get real!"
Eliza also spat out contemptuously, "You little gigolo who knows nothing should shut your mouth or else risk embarrassing yourself here!"
At this moment, Romeo made a phone call and asked directly, "What are you doing, Mr. Elliott?" He took a strong tone because he felt that Albie was just trying to take advantage of the situation and get a piece of the pie. Lowe's Pharmaceutical had been too successful lately, and he was feeling quite inflated.
"What do you mean by 'what am I doing'? I don't have any goods for you. Just wait," Albie replied irritably.
Feeling Albie's attitude, Romeo had to soften his tone. "Mr. Elliott, we're all in business for profit. I know you've seen how well our company's drugs are selling and want to benefit from it too? So how about this: I'll raise the price of raw materials by 30% for you."
"I said there's no goods!" Albie replied coldly.
"You... double it! Can I double it for you?" This time Romeo panicked a little bit and offered an irresistible condition in his eyes.
But as soon as he finished speaking, Albie chuckled lightly and said indifferently, "Let me tell you something - it's not about money! You've offended someone who shouldn't be offended!"
Click!
With that said, Albie hung up directly on him.
"Hello? Hello?"
"Damn it!" Romeo cursed angrily.
At this point Eliza and Harlow also looked darkened with anger on their faces.
They had offended someone they shouldn't have?
Damn it! Who did they offend?
Wasn't it just Miranda's family or Lachlan?
Could this be possible?
"Albie is crazy! He doesn't even want to make money! Honey, call another supplier!" Eliza gritted her teeth with a hint of hopefulness in her voice.
Romeo nodded reluctantly with an unpleasant expression on his face. Dialing another number again, he threw away his phone in frustration after six calls failed miserably one after another! Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g
His face turned livid then red with rage at each rejection!
Harlow and Eliza's faces turned incredibly ugly compared to their excited expressions when they first entered the private room. At this moment, Cara's face was filled with satisfaction as she teased, "Some people are just too despicable. It seems like even God can't stand it anymore!"
"Romeo, Eliza and Harlow, come sit down! Aren't you here to celebrate Cara's birthday? Mason will arrange everything soon," Emmanuel said with a smile.
Ha! Now it was their turn to be dumbfounded!
"Sit down my ass! Stop gloating over our misfortune. So what if he is a material supplier? Vincent Reid, the richest man in the state, will hold a business exchange tomorrow! Businessmen from Edoland and surrounding areas as well as wealthy businessmen from all over the state will attend!" Romeo exclaimed angrily.
He had given up on Albie and his group of friends completely; now he pinned his hopes on tomorrow's business exchange.
"That's right! We'll all go there together and meet new partners while expanding our network. Unlike some people who have already been kicked out of the Lowe family without any chance of attending!" Harlow gritted her teeth as if she found another way to hit Miranda's family hard.
Upon hearing this remark, Emmanuel, Cara, and Miranda couldn't help but feel resentful and dejected.
However at that moment Lachlan sneered, "Isn't it just tomorrow's business exchange? Don't worry; we'll be going too! But I advise you not to go because even if you do attend, you'll still get kicked out!"
Pointing at himself, Lachlan continued, "I'm speaking from experience!"
Romeo's family burst into laughter after hearing this comment, "What did you say? You're nothing!"
"You didn't even receive an invitation letter; did you sneak in?"
"You remind me though - If you really do show up there shamelessly I'll remind security guards to kick your butt out!"
"We're leaving now! Tomorrow we'll definitely meet some recognizable herb merchants. Albie may not see eye-to-eye with us but there are plenty of others who want in on this money-making opportunity!"
After throwing down these harsh words, Romeo's family left indignantly.
At that moment, Cara looked at Lachlan with a hint of doubt and reproach. "Lachlan, what did you just say? We clearly didn't receive an invitation. Did we really sneak in? Getting kicked out later would only make us a laughingstock for the second time."
"Can you think before you speak, boy? Don't say such impulsive things!" she added in frustration.
