Wait, She’s a Billionaire (Sheena Lawson) novel Chapter 1289

"I'll only consider your suspicions, not necessarily adopting them entirely, so speak freely," Elliot said sternly.

His dark eyes were icy and intense, his slender fingers playing with a delicate teacup.

With Elliot's assurance, Nathaniel began to lay out his thoughts on the matter.

"Since we've confirmed the old formula had issues, we can narrow down the possibilities through the process of elimination. Firstly, the formula was produced at Happiness Inc.'s factory. It's possible that this batch meant for the Jenkins family was tampered with during production, indicating that someone within the upper management of Happiness Inc. harbors resentment toward your family and deliberately added something to the formula."

Elliot listened silently, appearing calm.

After Nathaniel presented the first possibility, Elliot said, "I have majority ownership of Happiness Inc., and its CEO was my former subordinate in the military. After leaving the service, he chose to take over the family business. He's meticulous, especially considering the formula is meant for infants. He maintains strict control over the factory, which is why I trusted their formula for Asher and Adora. It's the safest."

He paused for a moment, then added, "Besides, the milk powder delivered to Asher and Adora every month is indeed given special care, and the CEO supervises it. It's unlikely that problems will arise from there. I know him well. He wouldn't dare."

Nathaniel nodded thoughtfully, "If you're completely confident in the factory's processes, then there's another possibility. Someone within the Jenkins family might be targeting Asher. Given that you and Nana are often occupied with work, frequently leaving early and returning late, the Jenkins estate is the most likely place for foul play."

Elliot fell silent, tapping on the teacup as if pondering the possibilities.

Nathaniel observed his demeanor before continuing, "Not long ago, Asher and Adora stayed with Old Man Jenkins for an extended period. Auntie Freida and the baby supplies likely joined them there, right?"

Elliot furrowed his brow slightly, his grip on the teacup tightening and his expression growing more serious.

"Are you suspecting my grandpa?"

"I dare not. Although Old Man Jenkins is retired, he has an excellent reputation. He wouldn't do such a thing to harm his own great-grandchildren," Nathaniel reasoned.

He then continued, "However, we can't rule out the possibility of someone else in the Jenkins family having malicious intentions, using the pretext of visiting Old Man Jenkins to secretly swap out the batch of milk powder used by Asher and Adora."

Elliot once again fell into silence.

In less than a minute, Elliot received a reply, [Understood.]

When investigating the true cause of his parents' deaths, Elliot promised not to interfere with Stanley's fate anymore.

Hence, he was unsure whether Stanley had left the country or was hiding somewhere. Instead of retrieving Stanley right away, it might be better to first gauge Peter's attitude.

The atmosphere in the office was quiet, with neither of the men speaking again, both lost in thought.

They were both contemplating the same matter.

After what felt like a long time, Elliot finally broke the silence and asked, "Do you have any other suspicions?"

Nathaniel quickly snapped back to attention, speaking seriously, "Of course. If we exclude the above two possibilities, then there's another suspicion that's most likely. The cans of milk powder may have encountered issues during the transportation from the factory to the Jenkins estate. We don't know if anything happened during the transportation period that led to the milk powder being swapped before being sent to the Jenkins estate."
