These inspections weren't anything new. Usually, Birgitte would handle them. She'd hand out scigarettes
and offer them. ssnacks. If there were any minor issues, a casual heads-up would be enough to settle them.
Honestly, it was all just for
show.
But this time, they were strictly by the book.
An official said, “The fire extinguishers are expired, the wiring is a bit old and poses a safety risk, and the fire
alarm system isn’t up to
standard.
“You'll need to fix these issues. This inspection is marked as failed. Here's the fine. If you have no objections,
please sign here
He handed a document over to Aubree..
Aubree glanced at it, didn’t say a word, and signed her nwithout hesitation.
Once they saw her sign, the fire department didn’t hassle her any further. They just packed up and left.
She'd only been in Stdlichen Strand for a short while, and already, three different groups had cby. Aubree
watched their retreating backs.
Birgitte frowned. “Something's off these past couple of days.
“The business bureau, the tax department, and every regulatory agency seem to be coordinating their surprise
inspections. They show up every other day.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLuckily, they'd always followed Aubree’s advice and never crossed any red lines, so nothing major had been
found.
Even though they were quite cooperative, all these government inspections kept popping up. Any partner would
start having second thoughts if they saw this kind of thing going on.
“Don’t worry about it,” Aubree said, “Mr. Kader’s bringing his team over tomorrow to talk business. Let's just lock
in the investment and ignore these people.”
Aubree knew exactly what was going on. The Wilson and Diamonde families were getting antsy.
Sheldon’s investment wasn’t just his own; he'd also brought in a major player from Nadio, Windward Group,
which had made its fortune in logistics and supply chain management. That was the real reason Aubree had
agreed to work with him.
But what happened today was a good reminder.
The Diamonde family had deep connections all over Stdlichen Strand. Phonyra Jewelry was a heritage brand
with over a hundred years of history.
Rumor had it they used to supply the royal family. Even Manchotech would have a hard tholding the
Diamonde family
back.
“Let’s just be extra careful with the little things for now. Once we lock in the funding and go public, everything
will get a lot easier, Aubree said.
No matter what agency it was, at the end of the day, money could satisfy them.
Once GrabCheap really took off and started making an irreplaceable contribution to Stidlichen Strand-or even
the whole country-then no matter what the Diamonde family tried to do, it would appear harmless to Aubree.
“We're probably going to be seeing a lot more of these inspections from now on,” Aubree said.
Birgitte just nodded.
Aubree kept getting headaches. She’d managed to catch a nap on the plane, and just as she was starting to feel
a little better, all this annoying stuff had to happen.
She said. “Everyone's exhausted today. Let's all head hearly. The real fight is tomorrow.”

Aubree crashed at her place in Stdlichen Strand to get srest. Sheldon wouldn't arrive until tomorrow
afternoon, but the next morning. Aubree received an unexpected invitation.
“This breakfast joint in Stdlichen Strand is a real old-school favorite. You've got good taste, she commented.
She found an uninvited guest seated at her breakfast table.
Aubree finished her last bite of sandwich and said, “Did the Diamonde family go broke? Mr. Diamonde, are you so
broke that you have to share a table withand fight for breakfast?”
Her words were blunt and cutting, but Ernesto Diamonde was a seasoned veteran. He wasn’t about to get riled
up over a couple of jabs. He just smiled and said, “Con, I'm your uncle. We're family. No need to be so on
edge, right?”
“Uncle?” Aubree gave a short laugh. “Seems like you've forgotten what you said tothe first t| cto
Sudlichen Strand.
“I'll never forget the look of disdain you gavefor the rest of my life.”
She'd never forget the first tAlice brought her and Carmen to the Diamonde family, Ernesto picked Carmen
up, and had a katisfied smile.
When he turned to her, it was like he'd just seen a disgusting bug. He then warnred her not to even dream of
challenging Carmen’s place in the family.
Aubree said, “So letremind you, if | don’t even have a mother, how could | possibly have an uncle?*
