The Guardian's Sword

Chapter 867

“I… I’ll ask for you. I’ll ask around first…”

Homer steeled himself to explain before hanging up.

There was nothing he could do about it.

He could only see what Jon was up to.

At this time.

Sean was taking Candy on a merry–go–round at the amusement park.

The commotion in River City’s business circle seemed to have nothing to do with him.

He had done what he had to do.

He had done so much preparation and planning.

He had finally struck today.

Zimmer Corporation bore the brunt of this blow, and the destruction of other companies was inevitable.

After that, Sean was going to end it.

As the one in control, he must be able to control everything at all times.

The scariest part was that no one would have expected Sean to be this meticulous.

Sean predicted their reactions and even the arrangements they would make.

How terrifying was that?

Zimmer Corporation building.

More than 200 people had gathered in front of the building.

These people were key executives of various companies, and even the bosses were there.

They had no regard for their identity and reputation right now.

To get more profits, many companies put all their resources into investment.

The chain of events now made them lose all their money.

If they did not get the money back, it was only a matter of time before their capital chain broke and they

had to go bankrupt.

Therefore, what they needed most now was to get their money back.

Zimmer Corporation had joined forces with several government departments to say Jon had nothing to

do with Zimmer Corporation anymore.

However, the companies that invested gathered here anyway.

They paid the money to Zimmer Corporation, so they were asking for it from Zimmer Corporation.

‘Pay up! Pay up!”

Hundreds of people held their contracts with Zimmer Corporation high as they shouted.

Chloe soon came out with several company executives.

‘Where’s Jon? Give us our money back!”

“We’re not investing anymore!”

When they saw Chloe and the rest, the hundreds of people shouted again.

“Calm down, everybody.”

Chloe was calm. She could still keep calm even in the face of such a situation.

After all, the senior executives and owners of companies were not uneducated, so they cooperated and

went silent.

“Our company has stated that all of Jon’s actions were personal.

“It has nothing to do with the company, and the company didn’t receive any money from you.

“I know someone will say we’re trying to pass the buck, but that’s okay. You can always check with the

relevant authorities.”

Chloe said calmly as she looked at the crowd.

“How dare you fool us?”

“I don’t care if he has nothing to do with you. I suppose this is something you planned.”

“Anyway, we gave our money to Zimmer Corporation, and now we’re asking for our money back from

you!”

For a moment, the crowd got riled up and shouted again.

Chloe did not panic as she quietly listened to the crowd’s yelling. She spoke again when their voices

had softened slightly.

“Are you sure you paid the money to Zimmer Corporation?

“Zimmer Corporation is just a company name. It doesn’t mean it’s Jon’s property.

“I would suggest you look at the agreements you have to see who you’ve paid the money to.”

Chloe said as she extended her arm and pointed to the agreements they were holding.

The crowd was doubtful but still looked down at the agreement.

“Jon… Jon raised the funds in his own name?”

“He’s not raising funds. He’s borrowing money!”

“I didn’t notice that they had tampered with the contract?”

“Besides, it has specifically stated that this investment has nothing to do with Zimmer Corporation…”

The crowd looked through the agreement carefully and finally came across an obscure line in several

pages.

Jon had even included a disclaimer in the agreements.

These companies were influenced by greed for money. They signed without hesitation, fearing they

would not be able to have a slice of the profits.

It was too late to regret now.

Jon would not expect what he had prepared to have helped Sean.

Let alone expect that Sean had figured out all his plans in advance.

Therefore, Sean got the company, while Jon got the huge debt.

“I don’t care! We want it from you anyway!

*Jon was the chairman at the time, so we’re now getting it from you!”

A middle–aged man clenched his teeth slightly as he glared at Chloe with anger on his face.

“Yes! We’re getting it from you!”

“No matter what you say, you’re responsible for this,”

Others echoed the same thing for a while.

“Whether we’re responsible or not will be decided by the authorities!

“We won’t pass the buck. The company’s right here. There’s no getting away.

“But you are all wise men. Can you see the reality before you?

“The reality is that the debtor is Jon, and Jon has your money.

“Our company can’t run, but Jon can.

“So, do I have to tell you who you’re supposed to stop?”

Everyone present went silent instantly as soon as Chloe said that.

Xander stood in front of the Frenchwindow with admiration in his eyes.Sean's plan was a success,

largely due to Chloe.The little girl, who was nervous at the interviewin reach for Will group had grown

so fast.She seemed to have been bornwith a talent for business.Let's get Jon on.The crowd turned
