When he saw that Sawyer was swaying
and looked as if he was about to pass out,
Fabian was terrified, and he quickly
stepped forward to support the man.
“Dad, don’t get too emotional. Now that
the matter has reached this point, we
have to find a solution quickly. If you
collapse right now, we’ll be finished.”
At this moment, Sawyer was seething. He
was gasping and there was a look of
fierceness in his eyes. His expression was
almost cannibalistic as he growled, “This i
sa conspiracy. Someone is targeting us.
They want to uproot the Atticus Family!”
There were 4 million tons of goods, and at
this critical moment, the loss of these
goods would cause Atticus Group to
directly breach all partnerships and
contracts. Aside from the immeasurable
loss of reputation, the liquidated damages
alone could crush the current Atticus
Group.
A series of chain reactions that were likely
to happen, which made Sawyer panicked
and frightened.
“Dad, what do we do now? I just asked, if i t is a natural disaster, the insurance company will handle it, but once it is determined to be man-made arson, the insurance company will not pay us a single dime.”
Fabian’s words made Sawyer’s eyelids tremble fiercely.
“Go find Half-the-Harbor Langdon first.”
Sawyer asked worriedly, “Will they give a sh*t about us?”
“They have to even if they don’t want to!”
Sawyer gritted his teeth and said, “Now, the three of us are allies. If the Atticus Group collapses, then they will be the only ones left standing. What else can they do? The reason I choose to cooperate with them in the first place is because of this relationship where we’re bound together for better or for worse.
“When we divide the benefits, everyone will scramble to get it. Now that we are in trouble, they want to run? No way. They won’t do such a stupid thing.”
After speaking, Sawyer took Fabian and
walked towards the room of Half-the
Harbor Langdon.
More than ten minutes later, Kayden, who
was the last to arrive at the scene,
hurriedly barged in through the door. By
then, everyone else was already there.
Half-the-Harbor Langdon, Sawyer, and
Kennedy sat in three corners of the room,
while Fabian stood behind Sawyer. After
Kayden walked in the door, he walked
behind Half-the-Harbor Langdon and
observed the situation silently without
saying anything.
The three elders were here, so he did not
have the right to be the first to speak.
However, Kayden already knew what had
happened. He could not help but glance at
Fabian, who looked terrified beside him,
and Kayden silently mourned for him in
his heart.
At this juncture, the Atticus Family might
have to bear the consequences if
something like this happened.
Now it was up to the three alliances to see how much power they could invest to save the Atticus Family.
Sawyer spoke slowly, “This is the situation now. My family in Harbor City is in a mess right now. They’re all waiting for me to come up with a solution, but the situation is really difficult, so everyone please give me some ideas.”
Kennedy snorted coldly and said, “I don’t even need to guess to know that this had t o have been done by Jasper, that little punk. He has the power and ability to do this, and he also has a motive for it.
“How would the others dare to do such a big thing? Plus, this is also something unending with the Atticus Family, which i s no less than seeking vengeance.
Moreover, even if others had the ability to do this, they would not start such a war with the Atticus Family.”
Half-the-Harbor Langdon sighed in exhaustion, “No, this is not man-made.”
As soon as these words were spoken, Kennedy was taken aback. Sawyer, Fabian, and Kayden all looked over at him.
Kayden was the only one who seemed to
holding a thought in in his mind.
Half-the-Harbor Langdon did not keep
them on tenterhooks either. He
continued, “Whether it’s man-made or
not, we can’t investigate now. We can
only say that this is an accident.”
“Do you mean I should seek insurance
