Rebirth In Divorce My New Mr. Perfect (by Summer Knowles) novel Chapter 646

Before Sarah could speak, Manager Sullivan blurted out, "Miss Sanders, if I catch whoever did this, they won't get away with it!"

Mr. Lambert sarcastically interjected, "What if it's a case of the thief crying catch the thief?"

Manager Sullivan became defensive, "Mr. Lambert, you should think before you speak! I'm the manager of this factory. Every day the factory is down, I'm the most anxious of all! Are you really accusing me now? Miss Sanders, if you're going to suspect me as well, you might as well have headquarters fire me."

Sarah quickly tried to defuse the situation, "Manager Sullivan, what are you talking about? You're the manager of this factory; of course, I trust your commitment to it. It’s just that this situation is serious. The old equipment that was destroyed in the last batch was due for an upgrade anyway, so that wasn’t a loss. But this time, it’s different."

She paused before continuing, "This equipment was ordered from Germany by our headquarters half a year ago. It took two months just for headquarters to receive it. Other factories haven't even started using the new equipment yet, and West Ridge's factory was the first to deploy it. If we catch the culprit, it’s not just about accountability. We'll have to make them pay for damages. Each piece of equipment costs about two million, and three were destroyed—that’s a total loss of six million. Even if we find who’s responsible, who knows if they can cover such a sum?"

Her voice was neither too loud nor too soft, but her words were sharp and carried a hint of helplessness, heard clearly throughout the workshop.

Charlie, overhearing the sums of two and six million, nearly lost his balance. If the truth came out, he knew Manager Sullivan wouldn’t cover for him. In the end, he’d be the one scrambling to pay such a huge sum.

Six million! He’d never seen that much money in his life! Even after winning thirty thousand with Zach at the gambling den, where could he possibly find six million?

Sarah glanced at the technicians, pleading, "Can you see if the equipment can be fixed?"

The technician examined the machines closely, unsure, "I'll have to run some tests first. I can't tell just by looking."

"That's fine, thank you," Sarah responded.

As the crowd dispersed, Charlie headed straight for Manager Sullivan's office.

"How are we going to do that?"

"I’ll need your help with this, Mr. Lambert," she said with a light chuckle.

Later that afternoon, a few hours after the equipment was damaged, the technician finally had some news.

Sarah didn't keep it to herself; she immediately called an urgent meeting.

"Everyone, after thorough inspection, the technician has found that the equipment isn’t completely destroyed. It can still be repaired."
