A hundred men or more had the Lopez family completely surrounded.
They made a big ruckus out of it.
The Lopez family were completely stunned.
Did a bunch of workers come out to protest?
Previously Zoey had arranged for the contractors to be paid at the end of the month and it just so happened that today was the payday.
The Lopez family might have to foot the bill in her stead.
“Zoey is the one who had your money! Find her if you must but it has nothing to do with us!” yelled Shaun angrily.
“What nonsense is this? Shouldn’t it be the opposite? Ms. Lopez has nothing to do with the company anymore!”
“That’s right! Ms. Lopez has already been disowned by the Lopez Group. How could she be a part of this?”
“We won’t leave until we receive what we were owed!”
The workers were starting to be unreasonable.
“You are trespassing on private property. Get out of my sight or I’ll have the cops arrest you!” warned Shaun.
“Even better. I’ll have them know that our wages are due!”
The contractors did not seem to mind at all.
“Fine, I’ll do just that!”
Shaun believed that the contractors were only putting on a facade.
“Wait! Don’t be rash and think this through. Should you get the police involved, things might just blow out of proportion. Wouldn’t it be bad if the media finds out about this?” said Fabian as he attempted to stop Shaun.
Shaun came to his senses immediately.
Indeed. If such a scandal were to reach the ears of the media, the Lopez Group would be in deep trouble.
“Then what should we do?” asked Shaun.
“Settle it!” said Fabian unambiguously.
“But uncle…”
Shaun was unwilling to give these people money, especially not on behalf of Zoey.
“My word is final,” responded Fabian coldly.
