That Night My Boss Left Me With Our Three Babies

The office was occupied by only the two of them, and their expressions grew increasingly grave.

“Do you remember the actions taken by the Thornton Group against us last time?” Gabriel asked with a furrowed brow.

Upon hearing this, Olivia’s brow also furrowed as she recalled the experiences of being targeted by Emma when she had just returned to the country.

All the herbal suppliers in Seacrest, under the direction of the Thornton Group, had refused to cooperate with them without any reason.Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

These suppliers, who had been cooperating well with her, suddenly cut off their supplies without a word.

There must be someone orchestrating this from behind the scenes.

But who could it be?

Olivia’s eyes grew heavy with thought, her mind in turmoil.

Emma’s previous attempts to trouble them had been resolved, so she was unlikely to use the same tactics again.

Although Gabriel didn’t say it explicitly, he knew that this incident was aimed at Olivia.

Seeing Olivia deep in thought, Gabriel patted her shoulder reassuringly. “Don’t think too much about it for now. Since you’re here, I want you to personally call those partners to confirm their intentions. If they won’t cooperate, we need to find new partners quickly. The priority is to ensure the progress of our projects.”

Olivia gathered her thoughts and nodded at him.

Soon, Gabriel brought over the contact information of the research partners, and Olivia began dialing them one by one.

“Dr. Prescott, I apologize, but we can’t supply the herbs you need in the short term…”

“Dr. Prescott, I’m really sorry. This came up suddenly, and I didn’t have time to inform you. Our factory is currently busy with a large hospital order, so we can’t meet your research institute’s needs.”

“…”

One call after another, each person found various excuses to refuse cooperation.

The implication was clear-they did not intend to continue working with them.

Olivia clenched her palm tightly and gritted her teeth as she prepared to dial the next number.

Seeing her anxious state, Gabriel gently pressed her hand down. “No need to call anymore.”

Hearing this, Olivia looked up in confusion.

“It’s obvious that someone is targeting our research institute. Their influence is on par with or even greater than the Thornton family. Continuing to call will yield the same results.”

As much as he hated to admit it, this was indeed the truth.

Olivia remained silent for a moment before putting down her phone in frustration.

“May I ask if you’ve offended anyone recently?” Gabriel couldn’t help but inquire out of concern.

As soon as he spoke, Olivia’s body stiffened almost imperceptibly.

Gabriel explained, “I don’t mean to blame you. After all, you personally resolved the previous issues our research institute faced. I just want to remind you that since the other party can go to such lengths, they might target you or your child next. You must be cautious. As for the research institute, I can hold things together for a while longer.”

After speaking, Gabriel gave her a reassuring smile.

A touch of emotion flickered in Olivia’s eyes. “Thank you.”

However, she couldn’t think of anyone who would target her like this.

The only possible person was Lily.

But during their last meeting, she had made things very clear, and she hadn’t had any contact with Victor since then.

Moreover, if Lily wanted to act, she could have done so immediately after they parted ways that day. Why wait until now?
