Chapter 61
“Dad, what's wrong? What happened?” Brittany asked her father worriedly.
“You're finally back, Brittany. I don't know what's going on, but those hotels, large companies, and factory cafeterias that previously signed contracts with us called to say that they're rejecting our greenhouse vegetables. What should we do?” Richard explained anxiously upon seeing that his family members were back.
“What? Those hotels and factories are breaching the contracts? How did this happen?”
Hearing his words, the three, including Brittany, immediately turned pale.
Truth be told, after noticing that so many factories, hotels, and large companies' cafeterias had signed the contracts, they had listened to Harold's advice and not only invested all their savings but also borrowed three million from the bank to expand the size of their greenhouse.

Now the vegetables are ready to be sold, but those hotels and factory cafeterias abruptly decide they don't want them anymore. Doesn't that mean we're going to suffer a complete loss? What are we going to do when the bank demands the loan repayment?
“Don't worry too much about it. Those hotels and factories have signed contracts with us. Worse comes to worst, we can take those contracts and sue them!” Richard assured them with a forced smile.
“It's not that easy, Dad. Since they dare to break the contract, they must have a counterplan. Besides, lawsuits take time. Even if we win, all our vegetables will be rotten in the greenhouse by the end of it. More importantly, we've already invested all our funds, and we can't even get the money for the down
payment to buy a house for Gordon. What can we take out to file a lawsuit against those companies?” Brittany asked her father with her face deathly pale.
“If so... What do we do now? Worse comes to worst, we'll look for those vegetable sellers, sell the vegetables to them at a low price, and reclaim our capital!”
As expected of the head of the family, Richard quickly thought of a way to preserve their capital.
Previously, many vegetable sellers had come to their greenhouse base in person, intending to buy their vegetables.
However, at that time, they had already signed contracts with those hotels, large companies, and factories cafeterias that purchased at retail prices, which were much higher than the sellers' wholesale prices. Naturally, they would not choose to collaborate with those vegetable sellers.
However, with their current situation, capital preservation was the best option.
Mandy's eyes lit up with hope upon hearing that. She quickly urged her husband, “You must hurry up and contact those vegetable sellers then!”
Richard quickly found the phone number that one of the sellers had left behind and dialed it.
“Hello, who's this?”
The first call was soon answered.
The Xenoses all looked anxiously at Richard.
“Hello, Mr. Carlson. I'm the owner of Brittany's Greenhouse Produce—”
Richard had just introduced himself as the owner of Brittany's Greenhouse Produce when the person on the other end hung up without saying a word.
His face instantly turned grim.
“What's going on? Could it be that his phone just happened to run out of battery? Why don't you try the number of another seller,” Mandy said, not willing to give up yet.
Richard nodded and proceeded to dial the number of another vegetable seller.
“Hello? Who are you looking for?”
“Hello, Mr. Brook. This is Brittany's Greenhouse—”
This seller was meaner as he hung up the phone upon hearing the word “Brittany.”
The next two also did the same.
“How can this be?”
