CHAPTER 148: CHAPTER 148: SUPPLIERS CANCEL COOPERATION

Thea’s Jewelry’s reputation has plummeted because of Faye Sterling’s arrest.

Although later Faye Sterling was cleared, the brand was still affected, losing many clients.

Faye’s face was dark with displeasure.

Assistant Catherine Chapman comforted her, saying, "Boss, although our reputation has taken a hit recently, Celeste Jewels is not doing much better.

Eleanor Sterling’s scandal is much more severe than ours."

Faye glanced at her and snorted, "That’s not enough. With the endorsement of the master Yuna, Celeste Jewels won’t fall."

What frustrated her the most was that exposing Eleanor’s scandal didn’t deal her a fatal blow, which was not satisfying enough.

Thankfully, Mrs. Faulkner is around now, making sure Eleanor can’t get close to Alaric Faulkner.

Even Alaric Faulkner has been ordered to stay at The Faulkner Residence, keeping him from meeting Eleanor.

That’s at least one satisfying event.

Catherine watched Faye’s expression carefully, then quietly suggested, "Boss, if you really want Eleanor to suffer, it’s not impossible."

Faye cast a sidelong glance at her, signaling her to continue.

Catherine braved on, "Actually, you can use your position as Mrs. Faulkner to pressure suppliers.

Without those supports, even Eleanor’s influence would be useless for Celeste Jewels."

Faye smiled coldly, evidently pleased with Catherine’s proposal.

Both Celeste Jewels and Thea’s Jewelry are large companies with factories.

If she could block this aspect, Eleanor would surely struggle to manage.

Trying to fight her upon arriving in Veridia City?

Faye nodded, chuckling, "Alright, let’s do as you suggested."

If that could really send Eleanor into an unrecoverable downfall, she’d be quite pleased, a cold smile curling her lips.

Next, Catherine approached several companies on behalf of Faye.

She used Faye’s identity as Mrs. Faulkner, and others, wary of The Faulkner Group, agreed to stop collaborating with Celeste Jewels.

Eleanor Sterling might be famous abroad, but here in Veridia City, she lacked influence compared to The Faulkner Group.

Celeste Jewels office.

"Boss, we have trouble, suddenly all our suppliers have canceled their contracts with us."

As soon as the market procurement manager entered, he looked very troubled, evidently under a lot of pressure.

Eleanor frowned, "What’s going on?"

"The suppliers we worked with suddenly canceled their contracts, no matter how much I tried to negotiate, they wouldn’t change their minds."

Assistant Anna looked puzzled, "We always pay on time according to the contract schedule, never delaying. Why would they cancel the contracts?"

"Sigh, I don’t know, but I found out later that someone pressured them.

Without supplies, our production and distribution will be impacted, affecting the whole company."

The market procurement manager sighed heavily.

Eleanor furrowed her brows, immediately realizing she was being targeted, likely by Faye Sterling, whom she had just sent to the detention center.

"Have you tried communicating with the suppliers? Offering some money as a bridge might help."

The market procurement manager looked pained, saying, "We did, but they refused to take it and were very firm."

Anna was somewhat outraged, angrily stating, "How could they do this? We were planning to launch new products now, isn’t this going to cause a delay?"
