Chapter 992
Elodie left her parting words and walked out of the Burke Estate. Sophie felt a pang of unease. This Ms. Elodie was definitely not someone to mess with.
Just then, Sophie's phone rang. On the other end, the manager's cheerful voice came through, "Ms. Sophie, the equipment you ordered has arrived. It's at Warehouse One. Want to come check it out?" Hearing that the equipment had been delivered, Sophie couldn't help but smile. "Great, I'll be right over. Please ask the delivery team to wait; I'll be there shortly."
She hung up the phone just as Sandy came down the stairs, catching Sophie's eye. Sophie gave her a quick once-over.
Sandy was stunning, with a touch of haughty princess syndrome. Plus, she was the precious daughter of the Pollard family from overseas and had a keen interest in cosmetic surgery. Perfect. "What are you staring at?" Sandy asked, feeling uncomfortable under Sophie's gaze.
Sophie replied, "Didn't you mention last time that you were interested in getting some cosmetic procedures? Want to come with me?"
Sandy eyed Sophie suspiciously. An out-of-the-blue invite for cosmetic surgery? Something was definitely up. But before she knew it, she found herself getting into Sophie's sports car.
"You said cosmetic surgery, but where exactly are we going? I'm not interested in just any place," Sandy said with a pout.
"Don't worry," Sophie assured her. "We'll start from the ground up. Only the best places and equipment will do."
Sandy thought Sophie's words sounded a bit odd until the car pulled up in front of Warehouse One. Directly at the manufacturer? "From the ground up... is this what you meant?" Sandy was taken aback.
Sophie led Sandy into the
warehouse, where they saw thousands of machines lined up. The delivery men, dressed in casual clothes, mostly in their thirties,
sported tattoos and dyed blond hair.
Sophie noticed the cigarettes in their hands and their cocky demeanor. These guys were definitely from the underworld.
"Has this equipment been checked?" Sophie asked.
The manager stepped forward. "Everything has been inspected, but if you'd like, we can do a random check."Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.
"Let's check that box there," Sophie pointed casually. The manager immediately had someone bring the box down, revealing genuine equipment.
Satisfied, Sophie raised an eyebrow and pulled out two bundles of cash from her pocket. The delivery men's eyes lit up.

Sophie handed the cash to the manager, signaling her to distribute it among the delivery men. One of the leaders stepped forward to take the money.
"Ms. Sophie, we guarantee the authenticity of this batch. If you need anything else, just let us know."
"Thank you, everyone," Sophie said with a smile. "Actually, I do have some more business I'd like to discuss."
