?Chapter 385:


    Only then did Jolie agree to postpone calling the family doctor.


    After making sure Elena wasfortably settled in her room, the couple quietly left, giving her space to recover.


    Outside Elena’s room, Alexander’s expression grew stern. He immediately contacted his assistant, giving detailed instructions topile aprehensive report on the Reed family’s recent project vitions—ranging from environmental breaches to unpaid wages and project dys. This report was to be sent to the Foiclens housing bureau.


    Meanwhile, Wesley was reviewing the results of his own investigation. It hade to light that a fatal ident had urred at a Reed Group construction site. The legal ssification—whether manughter or premeditated murder—would greatly impact the severity of the charges.


    In another matter, the family that had raised Sylvia had arrived in Foiclens, only to find they had been deceitfully relocated to a remote area and stripped of their life savings by Sylvia, leaving them destitute.


    A storm of vengeance was gathering momentum.


    On the following day, the local housing and market supervision authorities receivedints andunched an inspection into the Reed Group’s operations.


    Benjamin was caught off guard.


    Historically, oversight of construction projects had been somewhatx. It wasmon for material inspections to be lenient, allowing the use of substandard building supplies that failed to meet environmental regtions.


    However, the regtoryndscape had shifted. Construction safety had be a top priority, with strict enforcement and severe penalties for vitions.


    The inspectors quickly uncovered numerous breaches, resulting in the immediate shutdown of the Reed Group.


    Pale-faced, Benjamin confronted the inspectors. “This is amon issue across many firms. Usually, a fine resolves these matters. Why shut down my business?”


    Benjamin had yet to grasp the full severity of the situation. It was widely understood that no constructionpany waspletely clean. Hadn’t everyone used inferior materials at some point? He couldn’t understand why the reaction was so harsh.


    Unbeknownst to him, when the Harper family decided to act, few things could stop their retribution.


    New adventures await at g?lnσν???s﹒??o??


    As the inspectors wrapped up, they informed him, “We are simply enforcing thew. If you disagree, you may request an administrative review.”


    Orders from the’s highest authorities had sealed the Reed family’s fate.


    The previous night, an urgent call from the had reached their director, triggering a hastily convened midnight meeting and inspections at dawn. The Reed family had unwittingly provoked a powerful figure.


    In an attempt to smooth things over, Benjamin discreetly handed a check to one of the inspectors. “We’re all part of thismunity—surely there’s a way to resolve this?”


    In the construction industry, such financial incentives usually made problems disappear.


    However, this time, the inspectors recorded the check as evidence of Benjamin’s attempted bribery.
