"Brian, who's in charge at the Jeyrith branch?"

Brian glanced at Edwin, who sat behind the wheel, seeking an answer.

Edwin replied, "Mrs. Hughes, Dewey Fuller's the branch's general manager."

“Does he have any notable background?" Rosalynn asked.

After a pause, Edwin replied, “He's sort of Aldrich Hughes’ uncle-in-law, a distant relative."

Aldrich's relative? Rosalynn's eyes flicked towards Brian, a subtle shift in her expression.

It seemed Aldrich had a hand in running the Jeyrith branch.

Piecing it all together, she was sure Betsy's sudden transfer to headquarters wasn't coincidental.

Brian immediately connected the dots. He expression grew serious.

“Edwin, after you return, send me a full report on Betsy Ruiz."

"Consider it done, Mr. Hughes. There's another matter. Apparently, there's unrest at Skyline Garment Works. Some employees are causing a scene, and I suspect they're close associates of Carson Moran, Aldrich's cousin."

Brian looked grim. "I see."

So, Aldrich was behind this.

Was this a ploy to get him and Betsy acquainted? To sow discord between him and Rosalynn?

After all, a stable family life was a desirable quality for a company leader.

A public scandal could sway the company senior shareholders against Brian, potentially giving Aldrich an opening.

What a farsighted man.

Rosalynn's eyes narrowed. The name Carson sounded familiar. Where had she...

Her eyes soon flashed in realization. Wasn't he the manager involved in the construction project's shoddy work?

She'd exposed him, but he threatened her with jail.
