That Night My Boss Left Me With Our Three Babies

Chapter 363: Clearly Just an Excuse



She still remembered the last time in the cafe, Lily’s meaning was clear: only if she had further contact with Victor would measures be taken.

And since then, she indeed had not seen that man again.

She had even planned to settle things domestically and then move abroad with the children.

Lily’s intervention at this time was of no benefit to either her or herself.

Olivia, feeling a headache coming on, took out her phone irritably, intending to call Lily and question her.

But after several attempts, the other side showed as out of service.

Clearly, she had been blocked.

Frustrated, Olivia turned off her phone and apologized to Gabriel, who was waiting nearby. “Sorry, my personal matters have affected the institute.”

Gabriel, having overheard her conversation with Harold and noticing her subsequent change in mood, had already made some guesses. He smiled gently and said, “Since it has already happened, let’s think about how to solve it.”

Olivia nodded.This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

Both of them simultaneously thought of the Whitaker family.

Previously, Olivia had cured Liam’s illness, and the Whitaker family had promised to supply the institute with medicines at half price.

However, once the Whitaker family agreed, other pharmaceutical suppliers also changed their stance, seeking cooperation with them and offering competitive prices.

Olivia knew these suppliers were forced to compromise due to the Thornton family’s threats and did not hold it against them. The institute cooperated with multiple suppliers simultaneously.

This batch of medicines happened not to be sourced from the Whitaker family. She wondered if they had any surplus.

With this thought, Olivia felt a glimmer of hope and said to Gabriel, “Let’s ask if the Whitaker Group has the medicines we need. We didn’t place an order before, so I’m not sure if it’s too late.”

Gabriel nodded, “I was thinking the same.”

With that, he took out his phone and called the person in charge at the Whitaker Group.

However, the call went unanswered for a long time.

Both of their hearts sank a little.

Olivia still held onto a sliver of hope.

The Whitaker Group was a leading name in Seacrest’s pharmaceutical industry, and Leer’s Group had always had a good relationship with them.

She couldn’t believe that Leer’s Group would threaten the Whitaker Group as well, nor did she believe Isaac would go back on his word.

But now this call was making her feel uneasy.

After what felt like an eternity, the call finally connected.

Gabriel, though heavy-hearted, tried to maintain a pleasant demeanor as he greeted the person on the other end, “Mr. Shepherd…”

Before he could finish his sentence, the person on the other end interrupted him with a laugh, “Dr. Sutcliffe, let’s talk another day. I’m busy with a meeting right now. I’ll hang up first!”

Without giving Gabriel a chance to respond, the call was abruptly ended.

Listening to the busy tone from the other end, Gabriel’s expression turned grave.

Because Olivia had cured Liam, their institute had always been treated favorably by the Whitaker Group. This situation had never occurred before.

The person’s words were clearly just an excuse.

It seemed they too had received instructions from Leer’s Group and were refusing to supply them with medicines.

Olivia hadn’t heard the conversation on the other end but clearly noticed that Gabriel had only said a few words before the call was cut off without even mentioning the medicines.

Gabriel’s face turned even more grim after hanging up.

Seeing this, Olivia’s heart sank further.
