Chapter 262 Rich Hot And Infertile Husband (Or Maybe Not)

• Even if she occasionally talked privately to Liam, it was under Shawn’s coercion. As long as Shawn tasted a bit of sweetness, he would reduce his frequency of harassment But when it came to Quantum’s big projects, no matter what Shawn tried, Celeste would never do anything underhanded Skyler, on the other hand, was different As long as it involved the Barlow family’s business, she would do her best to pull it toward their side In the past, when Orville was alive, Skyler often sought benefits for the Barlow family from him If the Barlow family had a good reputation, the Reed family wouldn’t mind these trivial profits But the Barlow family’s father and son only knew how to cut corners, their product quality was average, and they often delayed delivery. Under Jade Barlow’s control, the situation was even worse He didn’t manage the business well and was addicted to gambling.
• With the money earned almost entirely spent on gambling, how could the business develop? Jade Barlow’s gambling addiction was bad enough, but Skyler turned a blind eye to it. After Clyde’s death, Skyler stopped causing a ruckus for a while because the leader of Quantum at that time was Sienna Sienna hated gambling addicts the most, so Skyler didn’t even dare ask her for anything I wasn’t until Liam joined Quantum that the long–lost Skyler became active again. Owen saw with his own eyes that Skyler went to find Liam, trying to get him to help her brother get a project. When Liam refused, she played the guit card, crying about how difficult it was for her to raise him alone Liam grew up with the old lady, and his mother, Skyler, didn’t really take care of him. Every time she went to find Liam, it was either for money or for the Barlow family’s business To Skyler, Liam wasnt like her child, but more like a means to a better life.Jade Barlow went to Liam for some work–related stuff. Yesterday, two main production lines of the Barlow family’s factory were reported for failing fire safety Inspections.
• The authorities came for a surprise inspection, catching Jade Barlow off guard. Not only was the fire safety equipment in the workshop incomplete, but they also found flammable materials piled up in the escape routes. The inspectors shut down the two production lines on the spot. Last year, an explosion at a chemical plant in J City killed or injured hundreds of people. This major safety accident sounded an alarm for society. so J City has been very strict with fire safety inspections this year. The Barlow family’s two production lines were just asking for trouble, and the government departments would definitely punish them severely. Jade Barlow didn’t realize the seriousness of the situation and thought that he could solve the problem by giving some money and paying a fine. But not only did the money not get delivered, he almost got locked up himself.
