The Protector Part 2

Chapter 369

"With the project coming to a halt, the construction workers gone and your company facing cash flow issues, we would like to terminate the contract. Of course, it goes without saying that you will have to pay us back the amount that we have invested!"

"We have already appointed our lawyers, why don't you have a nice long talk with them?"

It seems that the co-developers had already made their preparations.

"Why would you involve the lawyer at such an early stage? Did we say that we disagree to it?"

Shaun was about to lose himself.

"Thump!"

A brute had stepped forward and threw a punch at Shaun's nose, causing blood to spew everywhere.

"How dare you hit me!" said Shaun angrily.

"Just you wait, I'll call the cops!"

The brute gave Shaun a cold sneer before saying, "Call the cops if you wish, but I'm just a passerby. I just couldn't bear to look at you."

"You..."

Needless to say the Lopez family was enraged by this, but there was nothing that they could do.

A phone call cut the tension that was starting to build up.

It was Mr. Jennings from the Ministry of Construction. "Mr. Lopez what's the matter? What in the world happened to the West City Ecological Park? If I were you I would refund the money to the co-developers, or else there would be a hell of a price to pay!"

It was an order from the Ministry of Construction.

"Shaun, give the money back to them!" said Harry as he did not dare to defy orders.

"Alright, grandpa!"

They had no choice but to give them their refund.

Fortunately, the payable amount was slightly lower than the previous one, totaling up to 12 million.

Just today they had already given out at least 20 million and this wasn't even a major part of the debt.

If this goes on, the Lopez family would inevitably fall.

They thought they could rise higher by forcefully acquiring the company, but who would have thought that things would end in tragedy.

Tears were flowing out of the rim of Harry's eyes.

Greed!

Greed was the main cause of their downfall!

Or else why would this even happen in the first place?

Harry started to sob.

The others followed him soon after.

If this goes on, not only would their future be ruined, but they might also even end up in jail.

It was at this moment Henry ran in with long strides while panting heavily. "Dad, I've found out where Zoey and Levi are! They are at Morris Group!"

"Great, we'll meet them at once! Zoey is our last hope!"

Harry brought along the other members of Lopez family as they headed towards Morris Group.

As Zoey and Levi looked out of the window of their office, they could see a bunch of unexpected visitors right at the gate.

"Why are they here?" asked Zoey puzzledly.

"Of course it is to make you the scapegoat! Why else would they be here? The burden of the failing Imperial Meadows could only be thrown to you!" explained Levi as he let out a few laughs.

It wasn't until now they Zoey understood the situation of the Lopez family. "Why did all sorts of problems occur once I had left the Imperial Meadows? It is as if someone is behind this!"

"You know you are not as slow-witted as you have led me to believe! Yes, I was the one behind this." answered Levi as he laughed.

Levi seemed to be having a little too much fun.

"You? That's impossible! If you were capable of this you wouldn't be spending all day sipping tea over here!" said Zoey as she shook her head in exasperation.

Meanwhile, Harry was leading his family hurriedly towards the Morris Group's front building. As they attempted to trespass, they were met with several shouts.

"Hold it, hold it! Do you think you own this place? Coming in as you please?" yelled the security guards as they attempted to block the trespassers.

"Mate, I'm here to see Zoey" said Harry as he gave out a few fake laughs.

"Zoey? Have you mistaken? There's no one with that name over here! What are you all here for?" yelled the captain of the security angrily.

"Oh no, we are actually looking for Levi. Could you please tell him that we are here?" said Harry as he rephrased his words.

He even slipped in an envelope to the security guard, it was full of cash.

"Did you say Levi? I'll help you ask."

Levi and Seth had a close relationship, and so he was able to dial his number directly.

"Mr. Garrison, there is someone looking for you!"

"Tell him that I'm busy!"
