With a sly grin, Jennie whipped out two cinema tickets and said, "Looks like you missed some clues!"

Sabrina was speechless.

A couple of days later, Sabrina was handed two assessment reports concerning the subpar materials associated with Zeke.

One hailed from an independent testing firm while the other came from authorities.

While both reports phrased their findings differently, their verdicts aligned; the materials were indeed flawed.

Sabrina couldn't help but harbor immense skepticism towards Zeke. He likely had clues about the materials' defects yet chose to feign ignorance. He even let Trevor bring the materials for testing to underscore his supposed unawareness.

Based on the details Darren had shared earlier, Zeke had relocated his family overseas due to work commitments. For the initial years abroad, their living conditions were quite comfortable, surpassing what his income alone could afford. The Faulkner family wasn't affluent from the start, and even if they had some savings, it wasn't substantial.

Over time, the Faulkner family's standard of living gradually decreased, essentially returning to the same level it was at before they had moved abroad.

One would think, that with the house sale and a supposed lucrative job abroad, the Faulkner family should have been thriving, but the opposite seemed to happen.

Piecing it together, Sabrina surmised that Zeke didn't actually land a high-paying job overseas. Instead, he likely benefitted from some shady deals. But as that illicit funding dried up, their lifestyle was downgraded.

Back in their homeland, Zeke sought a fresh start. But without connections or funds, he took shortcuts, resorting to using inferior materials and skimming off the top of the material expenses.

However, Sabrina's purpose was to assist Trevor and gain his trust, not exposing Zeke just yet.

He could choose to pretend not to know for now. It would be wise to uncover the suppliers responsible for the low-quality materials.

Sabrina forwarded the digital copies of the reports to Trevor, noting,

“The analysis confirms the materials’ inadequacy. It seems your father might have been duped by the suppliers."

Trevor's reaction upon seeing the reports must've been one of dismay.

The chat displayed an ongoing typing notification.

A few minutes later, Trevor responded, “Understood. I'll discuss this with my father. After that, we'll alert the concerned agencies and seek compensation."

"Do you need me to find a lawyer for you?" Sabrina offered.

Trevor said, "That'd be very helpful. Given our unfamiliarity with the local scene, we're rather vulnerable to supplier swindling. I owe you big time, Sabrina. Without your help, I'd be in a big mess.”
