Chapter 152 Don't Forget You're a Married Woman
"Margaret, for my family's sake, let's not see each other until you have a boyfriend," Luke said, finishing his coffee and standing up to leave.
Margaret watched him go, wiped her tears, and a flash of malice crossed her eyes. "Elsa, just you wait!"
Meanwhile, Elsa had planned a business trip to Light City, but the exhibition was so hectic that she was busy from dawn till after 11 PM, leaving no time for anything else.
She'd contacted Christian a few times on Facebook, and he provided evidence that the Miller family had swapped fireproof windows for regular ones. She needed to visit the construction site and meet Joseph ASAP.
Luckily, she wrapped up her week-long schedule in six and a half days. On the last afternoon, she used the excuse of visiting a friend and took the high-speed train to Light City.
"Elsa, when do you make friends in Silverwood Falls?" Luke called, clearly annoyed.
Everyone else was back from their trips, but Elsa was still out! If this kept up, he might want her to get pregnant just to keep her around!
Elsa felt awkward, unable to come up with an excuse.
"I know what you're up to. But remember, you're married. Be mindful of your status," Luke snorted and hung up.
'Just days ago, he was calling me baby during sex,' Elsa thought, listening to the busy tone. 'His dissatisfaction can't be helped. I have important things to do.'
With Jonny's private seal, she made herself an authorization letter as a supervisor and went to the construction site openly.
Following Christian's tips, she took photos of all the problematic areas. Knowing David's character, she expected shoddy work and found plenty of loopholes.
Many aluminum-clad wood windows used double-glazed glass, looking similar to fireproof ones. The real differences showed in use. The Miller family mixed regular windows with fireproof ones, saving nearly $400 per square meter. For a building with thousands of square meters of windows, this saved millions, and for an entire development, the savings were huge!
They only needed the inspected floors to pass fire tests, so David likely bribed Joseph.
David was risking people's safety for money!
Even after leaving the site, Elsa cursed David in her mind. Whether it was the Jones family or the Miller family, they got rich by seizing big opportunities.
They were smart, but their money wasn't clean. Especially David, whose projects often had issues.
But to Dylan, as long as the price was low and it passed inspection, it didn't matter who handled the project. Since the Miller family was open to involving their daughter, he was pleased to provide them with some benefits.
Elsa wanted to reach Joseph quickly because she couldn't wait any longer. She called Jonathan to inquire about his arrival in Light City.
To her surprise, Jonathan said, "I'm already here for some business. Been here two days. You said you'd treat me to a meal. Still good?"
"Of course! What would you like to eat?" Elsa's excited tone made Jonathan laugh.
"Hold on, let me check if Joseph is available."
Joseph was busy, so Elsa and Jonathan arranged to have dinner alone and meet Joseph at the golf course afterward.
They chose a French restaurant. Elsa arrived before Jonathan and prepared her materials for the negotiation with Joseph while waiting.
