“God damn it! I thought we actually had a billion in our hands. But who knew all we got is this mess?” said Harry furiously.
In the meantime, a car stopped in front of the Lopez family’s residence.
There were a few men and women in suits.
“Which one of you is Mr. Harry Lopez?”
“That’s me. And you are?”
Harry had an unsettling feeling.
“Hi, we are the person in charge of Union Square. We’re here to inform you that the lease contract of the company is a temporary contract. This is the official contract. Naturally, the prices will be revised accordingly.
It will be revised from the previous ten million every five years to a hundred million every five years. Please pay as soon as possible or you will be ordered to excavate within three days!” One of the persons in charge from Union Square said coldly.
Boom!
A wave of shock washed over Harry and he almost lost his balance.
Shaun took the new contract with trembling hands and read through it.
The more he read, the darker his face got.
The Lopez family was at the verge of going mad.
Isn’t this just too unlucky?
Zoey’s lease was only ten million, yet it became a hundred million for them.
“Hurry up and settle this!”
With that, those from the Union Square left.
But this was only the beginning.
Someone came again.
“Hello, I’m Hailey, the general manager of the North Hampton Bank. Imperial Meadows Limited had previously loaned eighty million from us.
Now the total amount is a hundred and ten million including interest. Lopez Group will have to settle everything within seven days! Otherwise, you’ll have to go through judicial processes!” said Hailey relentlessly.
Thud!
Harry was shocked and fell onto the ground.
We owe the bank more than a hundred million?
Is Zoey crazy?
More importantly, the Lopez family has to clean up this mess!
Hailey left soon after.
But someone else came again.
They were a dozen other companies who came at once.
“Hi, Mr. Harry Lopez. I’m from Harper Investment. I’m here to collect your debt of twenty million!”
“Hi Mr. Harry Lopez, I’m from Allison Corporation. I’m here to collect your debt of fifteen million!”
“Hi Mr. Harry Lopez, I’m from Hilton Group. I’m here to collect your debt of thirty million!”
……
Thirteen companies, all without exception, were here to recover the debts.
Together with Union Square and the bank, the Lopez family had a debt amounting to a total of four hundred and eighty million!
Everyone from the Lopez family was about to faint.
They didn’t gain a single cent, yet they have to settle a debt of approximately five hundred million now?
Pfft!
Everyone was about to cough up blood soon.
“Hang on. Zoey’s Imperial Meadows Limited is the one that owes you the money. It’s none of Lopez Group’s business!” Shaun immediately tried to justify themselves.
“Hmmph! Why are you still trying to come up with excuses? Lopez Group officially bought over Imperial Meadows Limited. So naturally, the debt of Imperial Meadows Limited will have to be settled by you!”
“That’s right. What does this have to do with Ms. Lopez?”
“Hurry up and pay us back! Or you’ll have to go through the judicial process. Everyone from the Lopez family will have to go to jail by then!”
The representatives from all thirteen companies were tough. They didn’t even give the Lopez family a chance to breathe.
“Seven days! We’ll only give you seven days!”
When all representatives from the thirteen companies left, everyone in the Lopez family were deathly silent.
Everyone was soaked in cold sweat and was breathing heavily.
Tap…tap…tap…
Suddenly, footsteps could be heard from the outside.
A group of workers wearing safety helmets rushed into the Lopez family’s residence.
They were contractors from Imperial Meadows Limited. It was payday.
When the workers heard that the company was in a crisis, they had rushed to the Lopez family to get their pay.
“Harry Lopez! Pay us immediately!”
“Right! Quickly pay us, or you won’t be able to handle the consequences!”
