“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!
