Logan looked at Nicole and continued to speak.
"The murderer's wife and his terminally ill daughter went to Zico Company's entrance to make trouble and just wouldn't leave. The wife claimed that we sent her husband to prison, so they don't have any income. She insisted that we take responsibility for their living and medical expenses..."
Nicole’s face sank when she heard this. Her voice was cold as hell. "Are they so shameless?”
The murderer acted like the victim and still had the nerve to ask them for money at their door?
It was truly revolting!
Logan pursed his lips. "Now, it’s quite inconvenient for the staff to go in and out of the office. Every day, they attract a lot of attention. The security guards couldn't d o anything, so Jacob Cook gave them $20,000 to send them away, but because of that, they realized how easy it was to get money and went again the next day. It’s an endless cycle. The most concerning thing is that this will affect the smooth implementation of the project. After all, if this continues, it’ll become a scandal, and rumors will spread wildly. If this project i s shelved, we'll sustain big losses."
After that, both of them fell into silence.
Nicole was furious. She was the one who almost got killed, so what right did the killer’s family have to ask her for money?
Although Nicole was filthy rich, there was no need to waste a single cent on them.
"Did you call the police?"
Logan nodded. "We've reported them a few times, but the murderer's case hasn't been pronounced. They also have no other relatives, and she's a woman with n o income and a cancer-ridden daughter. If the wife is detained, the daughter left alone may just die..."
He frowned. This was the first time Logan had encountered such a tricky situation.
It was simply more difficult than taking down a lucrative project.
"The police there just warned them twice, but there's nothing they can do about it. Mr. Lewis said that it'll b e detrimental to the project and affect the overall development of Sand City in case this causes conflicts in public opinion. So, he left it to us to deal with it ourselves.”
Nicole sneered. 'He's good at shirking responsibility, huh? How can we even deal with it?’
