The origin of the money used to buy the house became clear and the Lawrence siblings’ family fortune was exposed.
Jillian, filled with envy and discontent, muttered with her tongue against her molars, “So rich yet pretending to be poor. What’s wrong with them?”
Upon hearing this, Cheyenne turned her head and glanced at her, a look of disdain filling her eyes.
A languid and graceful voice resounded, so captivating that it sent shivers down one’s spine. “Is five million a lot? It’s merely the price of a necklace.”
“Our family used to run a pharmaceutical factory, Lawrence Pharmaceutical Group, which belonged to us.”
Lawrence Pharmaceutical!
As an Akloit resident, who wouldn’t know that it was the largest pharmaceutical company? Twenty years ago, many elderly people in the village even gathered mountain herbs to sell to their company.
Later on, the land contracting system was implemented, and some surrounding villages took charge of cultivating medicinal herbs on the hills. They would dry the herbs and sell them to Lawrence Pharmaceutical Group.
Many people made their fortune by growing medicinal herbs, and they gotta thank Lawrence Pharmaceutical Group for that.
They were still using the burn ointment, as well as the medicine patches for treating rheumatism and injuries produced from Lawrence Pharmaceutical Group.
Unfortunately, five years ago, Lawrence Pharmaceutical Group declared bankruptcy and underwent restructuring. I heard that the factory was later acquired by the Foley Group, and now it’s called “SM Pharmaceutical Group.”
If Sean is indeed a member of the Lawrence family, then having five million in his hands is the most normal thing.
Jillian felt that today’s events had far exceeded her comprehension. First, the Lawrence family had a wealthy relative driving a Lamborghini, then Sean inherited five million, and now she hears that Sean is a member of the Lawrence family!
Oh my God!
If this is true, then there’s no turning back for what she has done, right?
At this critical moment, Jillian kept urging herself to stay calm. She couldn’t lose her composure. What if this woman was just making everything up?
She’s so beautiful, maybe she’s just a scammer.
During her many years in Akloit, she had encountered countless women like her-fancy fur coats and high heels during the day, being chauffeured in luxury cars and mingling with wealthy people.
But behind the scenes, they were just high-class swindlers. Once their schemes were exposed, they would end up in prison, obediently receiving re-education from the law.
Thinking of this, Jillian suddenly felt invigorated!
She happened to have a cousin who was a team leader at SM Pharmaceutical Group. When her cousin came to visit, she gave Jillian a business card.
On the card was the contact information of SM Pharmaceutical Group. It seemed to be an office landline number.
She couldn’t wait to make that call and expose this woman’s lies. Let’s see if she can remain as composed as she is now.
The more she thought about it, the more excited Jillian became. She took out her wallet and found the business card, which had been there for a while and had become crumpled, but luckily, the contact number was still legible.
“Hmph! You say Sean is the heir of Lawrence Pharmaceutical Group. Well, Lawrence Pharmaceutical Group has now become SM Pharmaceutical Group. I happen to know people from SM Pharmaceutical Group. Do you dare let me make a call and expose your true identity?”
Jillian proudly raised the business card for everyone to see, lifted her chin, and looked down on Cheyenne, as if she could already envision Cheyenne being escorted away by the police in a miserable state. Her smile was radiant.
Cheyenne glanced casually at the business card. It was printed three years ago when the company reopened, with an unimpressive design and simple information.
However, it was her office phone number because the company was in a state of disarray, and she had to take matters into her own hands and print her contact number on it.
Later, with Kelvin’s help, the company revived and everything returned to normal, so she had her secretary reprint the business cards.
Naturally, the phone number changed as well.
She shrugged her shoulders, displaying a calm demeanor.
“Go ahead, call if you want, I don’t care.”
Jillian seethed with anger. This little wench just wouldn’t give up. Let’s see how stubborn she’ll be in a moment.
“Hmph, I will call.”
Without hesitation, she took out her phone and dialed the number on the business card.
To ensure that everyone understood the woman’s lies and exposed her identity as a fraud, thereby overturning Cheyenne’s previous speculation, Jillian intentionally put the call on speakerphone.
The call connected quickly, and after a few seconds, a gentle voice answered.
“Hello, this is the President’s Office of SM Pharmaceutical Group. I am the President’s secretary. May I ask who is calling?”
Just by listening to the voice, Cheyenne recognized it. The person on the other end of the line was her assistant, Raina, a talented individual who had returned from abroad.
Although her voice sounded sweet and youthful, she was actually 35 years old, highly capable, and extremely loyal to Cheyenne.
That’s why Cheyenne trusted her to handle the company’s affairs, and she only needed to check in occasionally.
It was Jillian’s first time calling a company executive, and she was extremely nervous, trembling even as she spoke.
“You… I have a scammer here claiming to be from your company. This could damage your company’s image. Can you please report it to the police and have the person arrested?”
“A scammer? What scammer?”
“She… Her name is…”
Right, Jillian didn’t know the scammer’s name, so she turned to look at Cheyenne.
Cheyenne cooperatively responded, introducing herself, “Cheyenne.”
Jillian hesitated for a moment. She thought to herself that this scammer had quite the audacity, or perhaps she had given Jillian a fake name, which was why she was so confident.
“Yes, the scammer’s name is Cheyenne.”
“What did you say?”
Over the phone, Raina’s voice became sharp and seemed quite agitated.
Jillian was overjoyed by this reaction, thinking that she had exposed Cheyenne’s true identity as a scammer. Her tense heart suddenly relaxed.
“Yes, the scammer’s name is Cheyenne, and she is currently in Hurtlepool.”
“Miss Lawrence, did you say that our Miss Lawrence is in Hurtlepool? That’s great! Could you please pass the phone to our Miss Lawrence? I have something to discuss with her.”
Huh?
Jillian was dumbfounded.
Could it be that this scammer had the same name as the President of SM Pharmaceutical Group?
Cheyenne chuckled lightly and gave a meaningful glance at the bewildered Jillian. She instructed the person on the other end of the phone directly, “Raina, it’s me.”
“Miss Lawrence, we finally have news from you. I’ve called you several times in the past few days, but you didn’t respond.”
“Sorry, I’ve been busy with hospital matters lately. Regarding work, send me an email to my inbox and we’ll discuss it later. Now, I have something to attend to, so please hang up.”
“Okay, Miss Lawrence. But why did you suddenly go to Hurtlepool? Is there a new project?”
Cheyenne cast a meaningful glance at the perplexed Jillian and sarcastically chuckled, “I have something to take care of.”
