As the color drained from Mandy's face, the entire family began to panic.

It seemed as though they had somehow offended everyone overnight as all those people simultaneously decided to ignore them.

“Don't you find it a little strange that everyone collectively broke the contracts at this time?”

Brittany was relatively calmer and began raising some questions.

“Brittany, are you saying that someone is targeting us?”

His daughter's question enlightened Richard as he immediately thought of the key issue.

Brittany nodded before asking her parents, “Since so many hotels and companies have unilaterally terminated their contract with us, and even the vegetable vendors have ignored us, the answer is obvious. Have you both offended some big shot recently?”

“We spend our days attending to the vegetables in the greenhouse. How can there be time and place to offend some big shot! Did you, on the other hand, offend anyone in the company recently, Brittany?” Richard answered without any hesitation.

The next day, Brittany went to those big companies and hotels early in the morning, going door-to-door to find the initial coordinators.

To her despair, all the hotels and companies she went to turned her down for various reasons and did not even give her the chance to speak face-to-face.

It continued until noon when she dragged her exhausted body to an office building, the last company that signed a contract with her family.

“Hello, I'd like to speak to Mr. Yale of your company's purchasing department. Is he available?”

Brittany had lost all the confidence she had had at the beginning of the day and now spoke to the receptionist with a pleading tone.
