Lord Protector Novel

Chapter 23 You have Offended Someone You Should Not Have

Evan Schneider was the richest man in all of Oakheart City, a person who had an influence in every corner of the city.

Evan called Zeke back in just five minutes.

"The supplier stopped supplying products to the factory because they haven't been paid yet. If no one helps Lacey now, the factory might go bankrupt. Initial report suggests that Jackson is behind it," Evan reported. Zeke couldn't help but laugh.

I didn't even have to do anything for them to make their move. Good, I'll use this chance to take the Hamilton family down.

"Stay put and await further instruction," Zeke ordered Evan.

Lacey stared at the dozens of legal documents in front of her at the steel mill.

The contents of the documents were mostly ordering her to pay the supplier, or they would bring the matter to court.

However, most of the steel mill's capital had been spent on the deal with the Schneider family. There was no way they could pay the supplier

Without many choices left, Lacey could only go and negotiate with the supplier.

The atmosphere in the meeting room was heavy.

All the suppliers of the steel mill had gathered together.

Smoke from cigarettes filled the room, causing Lacey to cough violently.

"I don't get it. Why do you want to cancel the contract?" Lacey asked.

"Because you've offended someone you shouldn't." Darren Collins, the representative of the suppliers, laughed. "That said person is forcing us to do this. Please understand."

"Offended someone?" Lacey frowned. "Jackson Hamilton? It must be him. Does that ba****d want me dead?"

"Let's cut to the chase," Darren smiled. "Either you go and beg Mr. Hamilton for forgivenesss or pay us now."

There was no way Lacey was going to beg Jackson. "Please, give me some time. You must've heard that we just got a deal with the Schneider family. As soon as we complete the contract with them, our factory's production rate will definitely skyrocket. By then, I'll buy the supplies from you at twice the price. This will benefit both of us." "As I said, cut the crap. You better pay us now." Darren ignored Lacey's suggestion.

“Fine! I'll go get a loan from the bank to pay you!” Lacey scolded. “But you better not regret your decision!”

“Regret my ass! Go get me my money!” Darren scoffed.

Lacey left the meeting room completely frustrated and was ready to head to the bank. She called her mother for her bank card on her way there.

The family had a million left from the deposit the Schneider family had paid them. It was kept in Hannah's bank account.

Lacey needed the money for the emergency.
