Chapter 1624

What could it be?

Seeing Sophie's worried expression, Colby said, “I just want you to focus on recovering right now. Leave the rest to us. Although we're not a match for The Silent Shadows, it won't be easy for them to meddle in Devonport's affairs.”

The hundred-year foundation of the four major families in Devonport wasn't established in vain. Especially since the older generation had passed away, these new family heads, being more capable than their predecessors, combined the strength of their families over the centuries. They were confident in their ability to withstand the impact of The Silent Shadows.

*Ding Ding—*

Suddenly, Sophie's phone rang.

The caller ID showed Julian.

“Sophie, do you have a moment? There’s something I need to discuss with you.”

Sophie put the call on speaker, and everyone looked puzzled at Julian's unexpected call.

Julian had returned to Duskhaven, and the Cloude family's business had been thriving, regaining its former glory. There was no apparent reason for Julian to call them suddenly.

“What’s wrong?”

“There’s big trouble here in Duskhaven. Booker and I didn’t want to disturb you, but the situation is more challenging to control than we anticipated, and we’re at our wit’s end.”

“What happened?”

A bad feeling welled up in Sophie’s heart.

After a moment of silence, Julian said, “A new type of drug has appeared in Duskhaven recently, and many of our company’s people have mysteriously become addicted. Not to mention the general populace. The police have already started an investigation. While checking our consumable products, we discovered someone had contaminated our factory with this new drug.”

Hearing this, everyone’s faces fell.

Sophie immediately asked, “Have you issued a recall?”

Chapter 782 “We’ve urgently recalled the consumable products and have also shut down the factory. But it seems we’re the only ones affected, which likely means we were specifically targeted. What’s worrying is the police have set their sights on us, but there’s no way our people would do something like this. It must have been someone else taking advantage of our vulnerability. If the police trace this back to the Cloude family, things will get very complicated.”

Sophie could hear the urgency in Julian’s voice.

She also knew Julian would never poison the factory. This had to be a tactic employed by The Silent Shadows.

They were not only challenging the four major families but now aimed to reclaim Duskhaven.

If the Cloude family ran into trouble, then the recent half-year collaboration between the four major families and Duskhaven would be jeopardized. A food safety issue within the Cloude family would lead to a boycott of the entire food industry chain of the four families.

Thinking this, Sophie felt a chill down her spine.

What kind of ruthless person would do such a thing?

Didn’t they fear that escalating this poisoning incident could implicate The Silent Shadows themselves?

“Don’t panic, we’ll figure something out.”

“We don’t have much time. I have a feeling that if they’re targeting us, they will strike first...”

Before Julian could finish his sentence.

There was a noise over the phone of someone barging into the office.

“Julian! Your company is suspected of poisoning, which is a serious crime! Cease all company operations immediately! Come with us!”
