Chapter 166
Zoey nodded. “Yes. I suppose they’ll be asking forpensation too.”
Levi sipped from his ss and said with a smile, “That’s alright. They’ll regret their decisions soon.”

“What do you mean?” Zoey was puzzled.
“Be patient. Someone will invest in that project very soon,” Leviforted her.
“Do you have a n in your mind?” Zoey looked at Levi curiously.
“Don’t worry. This matter will be resolved after today,” Levi assured Zoey and her parents calmly.
But they were not convinced by Levi’s words because they were up against the North Hampton
Chamber of Commerce.
Everyone involved in the business world in North Hampton was well aware of the North Hampton
Chamber of Commerce’s influence.
The North Hampton Chamber of Commerce was controlled by the 4 ultra-wealthy families in the cities,
under the management of 8 council members.
The chairman of Fick Group’s board of directors, ric Taylor, was one of the council members.
ric wanted to seek revenge on Zoey and her family because of what happened to Charles.
All the investors for Zoey’s project withdrew their capital because of a singlemand from him.
The North Hampton Chamber of Commerce was a formidable organization as they could easily sever
all connections rted to the Lopez family’s businesses.
The news of Levi’s violent act spread like wildfire in North Hampton that day. They demanded arge
amount ofpensation and prevented anyone from investing in Zoey’s project.
A lot ofpanies were interested in the West City Ecological Park project initially because of its
promising prospect. The potential investors immediately erased the thought in their minds because of
that warning from the Chamber of Commerce.
Zoey was left helpless and clueless as to how she should salvage the situation while being ostracized
by the entire industry.
But the bad news did not end there. Zoey’s employees handed their resignation letters one after
another. Even the secretary involved in the incidentst night quitted her job.
The secretary also made an official statement. She told the public that Charles and his business
partners did not step a toe out of the line. They were having an ordinary dinner banquet when she
witnessed Levi entering the room and tormenting everyone mercilessly.
Boom!
Zoey’s mind went nk upon receiving the news. Someone must have bribed her. She suddenly
became their witness against Levi. Suzie passed outst night. Charles and his friends would have
defiled her if Levi did not show up. Levi rescued her, but she betrayed us! I nourished a viper in my
bosom!
Zoey could not fathom Suzie’s abrupt change in loyalty. I picked her out personally among all the fresh
graduates, so I certainly did not expect her to do this. I can understand the other employees’ decisions
to leave, but Suzie…
Zoey sat in her office gloomily as unprecedented desperation washed over her.
The door to her office was pushed open after some time. A few men d in suits entered the room.
“Allow me to introduce myself, Ms. Lopez. I am Baker McKenzie from Botts & Ellis LLP. We are hired
by Mrs. Dickens to represent her son, Mr. Charles Dickens, in thiswsuit. We came here to inform you
about thepensation amount you have to pay our client due to the injuries your husband, Mr. Levi
Garrison, inflicted on our client. The sum is 800 million. Please take a look.” Baker handed Zoey a
piece of paper.
Zoey’s face turned pale after she skimmed through the document.
“We will press charges against you and your husband if you do not wish to settle this matter in private.
We have arge amount of evidence, including surveince footage, witnesses from the hotel’s
waiters, the official statement from Ms. Suzie Bones, and 8 other victims in this incident. Let me remind
you – thiswsuit is highly advantageous to us. Please take a look at this injury report too. Do you think
you have the liberty to choose, Ms. Lopez?”
