Daddy the Miracle Medic (Lachlan and Miranda) novel Chapter 117

Chapter 117 Deceiving Them to Come Over

Romeo and his family had varying expressions, with uncertainty clouding their faces.

Now it seemed that Albie had orchestrated the collaboration among other raw material suppliers to cut off their supply because of Lachlan.

"Ask that guy? Impossible! Absolutely impossible!" Eliza exclaimed.

"But what do we do? If we can't get the raw materials on time, we won't be able to fulfill those massive orders with hefty penalty clauses. After all, we're talking about orders worth millions now! We might even face legal consequences if we don't deliver something that remotely resembles the products to those agents," Harlow said, his face filled with worry.

Romeo's expression was as sour as a rock in a cesspool. They were the last people willing to go and ask for Lachlan's help, but not doing so would result in heavy losses and possibly even jail time.

Just then, someone knocked on the office door.

"Who is it?" Romeo asked impatiently.

"Mr. Lowe, it's me, Felix," replied Felix, the head of procurement for raw materials within the company.

Romeo gave permission to enter, and Felix walked in with a man who had pointed ears and a narrow chin.

"Who's this?" Romeo asked with a puzzled expression.

"Mr. Lowe, this is Jadiel Diaz, a raw materials supplier from Slocmore," Felix introduced.

As Felix spoke, Romeo, Eliza, and Harlow all couldn't help but brighten up.

What? A raw materials supplier from Slocmore? Could it be...

"Ah, so you're Mr. Diaz, I see? Please, please, have a seat!" Romeo welcomed warmly.

"Harlow, quickly make some tea!"

Harlow hurriedly scuttled off to prepare some tea.

"Mr. Diaz, may I ask what brought you to our company?" Romeo asked impatiently.

Jadiel smiled, adjusted a wisp of facial hair at the corner of his mouth, and said, "Mr. Lowe, I've heard that your company is currently facing a shortage of raw materials. Coincidentally, I am a wholesaler of raw materials. If you need them, I can supply you. Of course, the price may be slightly higher."

The man chuckled, and a hint of cunning glinted in his eyes.

After gauging the reactions of Romeo and the others, he decided to increase the price a little further to squeeze more profit from them.

"Higher? How much higher?" Romeo inquired.

Upon hearing this, Romeo's face changed and he asked, "If the price is too high, I'm afraid I won't be able to accept it."

"How about a 10% increase from the average market price? As far as I know, you are in urgent need of medicinal herbs right now. And I also have to pay for transportation fees since I'm bringing them over from Slocmore, right?" Jadiel said with a smile.

"A 10% increase? Okay, no problem! When can you deliver the goods? Do you have all the types of herbs we need and what is their quality like?" Romeo breathed a sigh of relief and eagerly asked.

"Let's sign the contract first and then I'll immediately arrange for logistics to deliver here! You can rest assured about the quality. Just tell me what kind of medicinal herbs you need and I guarantee that we have them all!" Jadiel patted his chest confidently.

"Great! Let's sign it now!" Romeo exclaimed happily.

After Jadiel left following signing the contract...

Romeo's family couldn't help but laugh at each other with excitement and relief on their faces.

After hesitating for a moment, she answered, "What is it?"

"Cousin, come to the factory area right away. There are some issues left over from before that need your attention!"

"What kind of issues?" Miranda asked inexplicably confused.

"I can't explain over the phone. You'll find out when you get here! Oh yeah, don't forget to bring Lachlan!"

"Why does this have anything to do with Lachlan?" Miranda was even more puzzled now.

"Of course he does! Hurry up, things are quite tricky here. If you don't come soon enough, we'll have to hand this matter over to relevant departments!" Harlow said seriously.

Miranda felt nervous after hearing Harlow speak like that but still hesitated for a moment before saying, "Okay then I'm coming."

She couldn't imagine what kind of problems she could have left behind at the factory area but better safe than sorry...

At this point, even Lachlan looked baffled, "What kind of tricks is Harlow playing again?"

"I don't know either; let's go check it out," Miranda shook her head as they both quickly finished their meal before driving towards the pharmaceutical company plant in western suburbs.

When they arrived at the plant area gate, they saw Harlow waiting there for them.

"What exactly is going on?" Miranda got off her car and asked.

"Come on; I'll take you guys to see something!" Harlow raised her chin slightly as a flash of pleasure crossed her face upon seeing them arrive.

Ha ha, I knew I could trick them into coming over!
