God Of War Pinnacle
Chapter 366

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 replaces 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.

Shaun, Melanie and the CFO of the company wasted no time in auditing the accounts.

There were a total of seven contractors, they would have to fork out at least 5.7 million this month.

It wasn't until both parties had agreed to settle things cordially that the contractors finally left with their workers.

The Lopez family could finally take a breather.

More than five million gone in the blink of an eye.

Oh, how much it hurt!

The main thing was that this wasn't a business investment, so they wouldn't be able to get a single cent out of it.

The Lopez family slumped helplessly on the floor, drenched in cold sweat ever since this morning.

This was the biggest predicament they have ever faced.

A debt of five hundred million!

Even if they had Harry sold, would they even be able to pay off this debt?

How did things turn out this way?

They just couldn't fathom what happened.

"How did this happen? Are you guys stupid? Why did you investigate Zoey's company beforehand?" yelled Harry.

"Well... The Imperial Meadows appeared to be doing great. They had a few billions of highly liquid assets and some big-name investors backing them up. There was no doubt that the company had a bright future ahead," whimpered Shaun.

"How would you explain this then?" asked Harry.

Everyone had their heads lowered, no one seemed to have an apparent answer to that question.

They did not expect this to happen at all!

"So what are we going to do now?" Harry shouted.

"I knew it, this is the doing of Zoey! Ten billion in exchange for Levi's life, it isn't that hard of a choice for her to make, is it?"

"That's right, knowing how despicable this little harlot is, she would definitely have made that choice! In order to climb the ranks of society, she was even willing to sleep with countless older men!"

"If she were given the choice between Levi and five million, she would have undoubtedly chosen the latter. Not to mention this is ten billion that we are talking about right now. It is definitely intentional!"

As Shaun and Melanie were busy badmouthing Zoey, Harry's eyes gleamed and appeared to be in dismay.

"Are you saying that Zoey was searching for a scapegoat as she could no longer keep up with the operations of the company, and we just so happened to be there?"

"That is certainly the case! A wicked woman like her would be all too glad to witness our downfall!"
