Upstairs, Alfred let out a sigh. “Keep an eye on Frieda. She's reckless, so I'm afraid she'll do something foolish,” he told Jonathan.
Jonathan agreed to his request hastily. “Don't worry.”
“Also, don't take Frieda's words to heart. We shall supply Dr. Jarvis with the medicinal herbs she needs. I shall bear the responsibility if Farwell Group causes trouble for us.” Alfred reminded, “Queen Group honors its promise, so we can't break our principle.”
Jonathan nodded in response. “I'll call Dr. Jarvis now to explain the situation to her,” he said.
Alfred shot him a curt nod. “You can leave now. I'm tired.”
After learning what Frieda did, Alfred had gone cold with fury. Exhaustion only caught up to him after he dealt with the matter.
After helping Alfred to get into bed, Jonathan left the bedroom. He then gave Roxanne a call.
Meanwhile, Roxanne was feeling heavy-hearted in her office.
It was getting dark, but Queen Group still hadn't reverted to her.
She started suspecting that Colby was right. Queen Group promised to investigate the matter, but it was just an excuse to brush her off.
If he's right, I'll have to figure out a way to contact the medicinal herb suppliers in the neighboring city. It will take time to deliver the medicinal herbs, but that's the only way for now. I wonder if those people have received warning from Farwell Group.
With that thought in mind, Roxanne pulled her phone out to call the senior she met at a previous academic conference.
She had just gotten her phone when it started vibrating and ringing.
Stunned, Roxanne furrowed her brows and glanced at her screen. Her eyes lit up when she spotted the caller ID. “Mr. Queen,” she greeted.
Jonathan told her apologetically, “Dr. Jarvis, I've investigated the matter, and it was just a misunderstanding. I've dealt with it, so we shall deliver the medicinal herbs you need to the research institute tomorrow morning.”
