Chapter 1505 Great Responsibility
“Tillie, you’re doing great. This job used to be done by Sabrina. Now that you’re here, I don’t need to hire someone else. I’ll leave it to you from now on.”
“Okay. All right.”
Tillie agreed to it joyously.
After getting home that night, Sasha mentioned to Sebastian about Tillie.
Sebastian was looking through the images of some orders with his tablet.
“It’s your call. But I think it’s better to inform Edmund about it.”
“Huh?”
Sasha’s expression changed upon hearing that.
“We can’t tell Edmund. She said Edmund might get angry, so she hadn’t told him about the job. Do you think there is something wrong with their marriage?”
Sebastian did not respond to it.
He was not interested in their private matter.
I’ve done enough to help the entire Coopers. Let them handle their family issues themselves.
With that, he shifted his attention back to his tablet.
Seeing that, Sasha dropped the topic as well.
She grabbed her nightgown and headed into the bathroom.
Crash!
“What happened? Sebby!”
Sasha, who had just gone into the bathroom, rushed out anxiously and scanned around the room.
She spotted a glass cup that had fallen onto the floor.
Sebastian lowered his body, wanting to pick up the shattered cup.
“Please don’t move. Let me clean this. Don’t cut yourself!”
Sasha, who was only covered in a towel, ran toward Sebastian and stopped him.
Why did it fall onto the floor suddenly? Wasn’t it placed far from him just now?
Without delay, Sasha grabbed the broom from a corner of the room.
“Sebby, please make way.”
“Okay.”
Sebastian nodded and lifted his legs, his eyes still focusing on his tablet.
Sasha still felt strange as she was sweeping the glass shards. As she went behind Sebastian, she took a side glance at his tablet.
“Is there something wrong?”
She paused and came to his side.
She was no ordinary woman. As a matter of fact, she was an expert in economy and finance. At first glance, she spotted massive irregularities on the contracts in Sebastian’s tablet.
Oh my. Isn’t that the military trade? What’s wrong with it? What caused the numbers to be so much different?
Sasha stopped cleaning the floor as she locked her eyes onto the tablet’s screen.
“The equipment is not the same as expected. A huge gap occurred when they did the actual performance!”
Sebastian did not hide it as he knew she had noticed the problem.
How could such things occur with this kind of purchase? That was akin to looking for one’s own doom. It’s not any commercial business we’re talking about here. It’s the official military trade between two countries, and the other party is Moranta, the strongest country in this world.
Sasha knew Sebastian had poured his blood and sweat into this deal.
“Sebby, don’t worry. Why don’t we discuss with Devin first?”
When Sasha noticed Sebastian’s expression turned extremely ugly, she immediately ran to take her phone and informed the other members of the Jadesons.
Twenty minutes later, Devin rushed to their place.
Jonathan, who was drinking outside, also came back with his men.
Sasha had gotten changed and printed out the contract by then. As soon as everyone arrived, she distributed those documents to them and saw herself out.
It was inappropriate for her to participate in the discussion as it involved a national matter.
She failed to sleep that entire night, waiting anxiously for their updates.
As the dawn hit in, she finally heard footsteps coming from upstairs. She immediately jumped out from the couch and shifted her gaze toward the elevator.
It was Devin who came out, but his expression was still solemn.
“Sasha, didn’t you get any sleep?”
“No, Devin. How was it? Did you guys find a solution to it? How are you going to handle it?”
Sasha could not suppress her anxiousness.
Devin was rendered speechless by her gesture.
He did not plan to tell her. But after pondering for a while, he opened his mouth, as he thought Sasha was an expert in this aspect.
“Yes, we’ve found a solution. Indeed, our technology is not good enough. We managed to deal with Moranta this time because we brought in the nuclear wave technology. Moranta is a developed country, and its equipment is all top-class. The only way we could do business with them was through improvising. That was Sebastian’s idea too.”
“Yes. And?” Sasha showed no trace of shock.
Devin was stunned momentarily. “Then, when we were manufacturing it, we made some modifications considering the damage the nuclear wave might bring to the human body. We tried to increase the power without causing the side effects. The sampling equipment was fine, but we didn’t expect to run into trouble when we went to mass production.”
In other words, they failed because their technology was immature.
What are the consequences, then? Is he going to handle it personally? If they compensate for such a deal, it would be more than a hundred billion. And it would be in the other party’s currency.
The colors drained from Sasha’s face as she thought about that.
