Chapter 286
The moment the expired sanitary napkins were discovered, everyone’s gone when live ex immediately grabbed a pack and saw the expired date
Julia Garcia immediately pressed, “Who was so careless as to buy expired prove the st finds out,
the consequences will be severe.”
Everyone was silent.
Julia Garcia continued, “Who bought this brand?”
Alice held the napkin. “My foundation bought this brand, but they were definitely sex expeed” She’d specifically instructed them to buy cost–effective products, not needy for mone expensive.
Max sneered, “You bought the expired napkins, and you’re still denying it? You entered for funds; that’s why you bought cheap stuff.”
Alice looked at Julia Garcia.“It wasn’t just our foundation that bought this brand. How do we prove it was ours?” She wouldn’t take the blame unjustly.
Julia Garcia nodded. “Right, we need to investigate thoroughly. Ms. Alice, don’t worry, I won’t falsely accuse anyone.”
Max tried to continue her taunts, but Julia García stopped her.
Alice turned around and didn’t see Chloe. She asked Max “Where’s Cobe? “You splashed water on her; she went to the restroom. Looking for a scapegoat now? Ignoring Max, Alice texted the foundation director: [Who was in charge of buying the napkins? Where did they buy them?]”
Alice had a bad feeling. She’d expected Chloe to manipulate the accounts, take kickbacks. But what if the white lotus was that stupid and greedy?
Soon, a staff member brought another box. “Miss Garcia, we checked the sanitary napkins. This box is full of expired ones.”
An uproar filled the room.
Alice walked over and saw the label – her foundation’s name. She felt dizzy with anger. She’d been right.
Julia Garcia approached, her tone serious. “Ms. Alice, charity supplies are not a trivial matter. If someone uses these defective napkins and gets hurt, what then?”
Alice took a deep breath. I’m sorry. I just learned about this. I’ll investigate.” Julia Garcia sighed. That’s not something you can just investigate your way out of.”
Others chimed in.“Exactly. We only partner with reliable organizations. You weren’t even qualified to participate, but Miss Garcia recommended you.”
“But some people don’t appreciate it and buy expired goods. If this gets out, it’ll be a huge
scandal.”

Alice was speechless; the evidence was undeniable.

Chapter 266
Mrs. Wilson spoke.“Alice, investigate who’s responsible. Subordinates sometimes disobey
orders.”
With Mrs. Wilson mediating, Alice nodded. “I will investigate.”
Max sneered. “I bet someone embezzled the funds. The money is frozen; where did she get the money for supplies?”
Alice looked at her coldly.“Max, she has legal consequences.”
“What? You did it, so you can’t be criticized?” Max wouldn’t miss this opportunity to taunt Alice. Julia Garcia pulled her sister aside.“Ms. Alice, due to the problem with your supplies, you cannot participate in the joint event. That’s the rule.”
Alice nodded. “I understand I’ll leave.”
“Take the box of napkins back as evidence for your investigation.” Julia Garcia had the expired napkins repackaged and given to Alice.
Mrs. Wilson offered, “Alice, let me send you home. It’s not safe for you to carry this alone.” “No, I can manage.” Alice effortlessly lifted the box with one hand. Even Julia Garcia was surprised.“Ms. Alice is quite strong.”
From this day on, Alice’s foundation became a laughingstock.
Mrs. Wilson said, “Julia, this isn’t Alice’s fault. She’s not that kind of person. Isn’t it inappropriate to dismiss her?”
“Auntie Wilson, it’s not that I’m not helping, but it’s the rule. I can’t make an exception for Alice.” Julia Garcia whispered, “Auntie Wilson, how do you know Ms. Alice? You seem close. “Alice and I just…clicked. At the auction, I wasn’t feeling well, and she helped me. I know she’s a good person.” Mrs. Wilson didn’t tell the truth.
Julia Garcia still had doubts.“Ms. Alice seems close to Garrett. When Jack was hospitalized, I saw her visiting him.”
“Really? They probably know each other.” Mrs. Wilson was uneasy. “Carry on. I have something to attend to.”
Julia Garcia watched Mrs. Wilson go, feeling uneasy. Mrs. Wilson knew Alice was the girl Jack was protecting, but she didn’t tell her. Mrs. Wilson had favored her as a daughter–in–law, but things changed so quickly.

“I don’t know. She’s. never been here before; she’s probably taking photos.”

lit up.“Right! I forgot. Chloe can spread the news. Let’s see how Alice acts arrogant
Julia Garcia didn’t explain further. Chloe had handed them a gift–wrapped opportunity.
Alice went directly to Ethan’s company. She wouldn’t let this go.
Alice, carrying a large box, stormed into Land Corp. It wasn’t her first time. The receptionist didn’t stop her and immediately reported to the secretary’s office.
Chapter 280
Alice went straight to Ethan’s office. Ethan was in a meeting. He yelled, “What are you doing here?”
“Didn’t you support Chloe managing the funds? These are the supplies she bought!” Alice dumped the expired napkins on his desk.
