Chapter 482: Surrender The Culprit

Chapter 482: Surrender The Culprit

After just two hours, the Owens faced the greatest crisis they ever had.

But despite investigating so laboriously, they still didn’t manage to find out who they had offended.

Moreover, the situation going on at the Owens’ companies were not false accusations either. There were indeed issues with their products, and they were also guilty of tax evasion. Not only had many of their factories been closed for rectification, but many of their business partners had also ceased cooperation with them after hearing the news.

Not only did the Owens have to repay a large sum of money to the bank, but they also had to compensate numerous partner companies for breach of contract. They also had to pay the penalties for the taxes they had evaded on top of this.

Now that the bank had cut off their financial source, the Owens definitely wouldn’t be able to come up with such an enormous amount of cash.

Thus, they were left with the last resort—declaring bankruptcy and liquidating their assets, including all their immovable properties and financial securities. They also had to auction off all their other valuables. Only then would they be able to pay off such an immense amount of compensation.

But this wasn’t all. Since the news of the Owens’ predicament spread, the share prices of their companies plummeted within a short period of time. The senior executives of the companies tendered their resignations one after another while the shareholders showed up at their doorstep furiously to curse their hearts out at the Owens.

Within just a few short hours, the entire Owen family was reduced to a wretched state.

At this moment, Damon led all the Parkers to the main hall of the Owens’ villa.

Joseph Owen seemed to have aged several years within just these few hours.

The moment he saw Damon, he thought that Damon had come to help him, and an expectant expression immediately appeared on his face as he quickly went over to welcome him. “Damon, you’re here! The Owens are in deep trouble!”

Joseph walked over with an expectant expression, but to his surprise, he discovered that Damon didn’t seem worried at all. Instead, there was only an indifferent expression and a faint sense of pleasure.

“Damon, you… What are you doing?” An ominous premonition rose in Joseph’s heart, but he didn’t dare to think in that direction.

Damon sneered and said without any intention to hide, “Joseph, I didn’t expect this to happen to the Owens one day!”

As soon as he said this, all the Owens knew that Damon was definitely not here to help them but to gloat.

Joseph’s face turned sullen, and he snapped, “Damon, you and I have been friends for decades, and I have never offended you. Now that my family’s in trouble, not only are you not helping us, but you’re rubbing it in and kicking us when we’re already down. Why are you doing this?”

“Haha!” Damon sneered twice and said coldly, “You’ve never offended me? Yes, you may not have personally done something to offend us. But your grandsons Callum and Elijah are really daring to have disregarded us. Those beasts are even thinking of scheming against us! Do you think that’s considered an offense?!”

Only then did Joseph realize that Damon’s anger seemed to be directed at his grandsons. Have my grandsons really done something traitorous out there?

In particular, Damon had even used the word ‘beast’ and said that his grandsons had schemed against Parkers and wrapped them around their fingers.

He couldn’t help but wonder what was going on as he turned to look at Callum and Elijah, who were standing at the back of the crowd.

The rest of the Owens looked over in confusion too.

Callum had a calm expression, and he even seemed bewildered, seemingly unable to understand what Damon just said.

But next to him, Elijah wasn’t as good at hiding his guilty conscience as his brother was. Panic was written all over his face. His eyeballs darted around, his face turned pale, and drops of sweat emerged from the tip of his nose and forehead.

“Joseph, I advise you to hand over these two beasts immediately. On account that we’ve known each other for decades, I can consider sparing their lives!” Damon said coldly.

A gloomy expression formed on Joseph’s face. He had already guessed that his grandsons must have done something terrible to offend Damon, but he couldn’t possibly hand over his grandsons just because he was being threatened by Damon.

Even if the Owens were going to be destroyed, they couldn’t let their dignity be trampled on!

“Damon, if you have anything to say, say it properly. If you’re thinking of threatening me into handing over my grandsons to you, you can forget about it because that’s impossible!” Joseph stood firmly in front of both his grandsons.

Damon’s gaze darkened, and he sneered, “Okay, since you’re not willing to hand them over to us, I’ll have to have people take them away by force!”

With that, he gestured towards his back, and more than twenty heavily armed bodyguards immediately walked out from behind and toward Callum and Elijah.

“How impudent of you to forcefully take my grandsons away on my turf!” Joseph bellowed furiously at the top of his lungs and immediately instructed the Owens’ bodyguards to come forth and shield Elijah and Callum.

Although the Owens had been severely struck, their bodyguards were still considered their employees, and naturally, they would defend them.

There were more than twenty people from each side, and they were all aggressively about to strike each other, seemingly ready for a full-swing brawl.

Seeing how protective Joseph was of his family, Damon suddenly felt a touch of sadness for him. “Joseph, you’re still thinking of defending these beasts even though things have already come to this. You still have no idea what they’ve done, and you don’t know that this disaster that you’re facing today is caused by your dear grandsons. How pathetic!”

Joseph’s heart sank further. “Isn’t the disaster we’re facing today caused by you? No, the Parkers shouldn’t be able to do so alone. Otherwise, you would have long been the only top family left in this city! Is someone secretly helping you?”

Damon shook his head and said regretfully, “What a pity. Your family has already reached a dead end, and you still don’t know who you’ve offended. How pathetic and sad!”

Joseph frowned. “What do you mean by that? Make yourself clear!”

Damon didn’t bother to reprimand him for his attitude and merely said with a complicated expression, “You’re right. It is indeed impossible for the Parkers alone to have your family destroyed in such a short period of time. However, I will let you die with a little more understanding of the reason for your fate!

“Not only did those two grandsons of yours send someone to kill my grandson Tristan, but they even tried to frame someone else for it so that my family and that person would both end up suffering heavy losses. This would have destroyed my family! Now, do you understand why I want you to hand over these two grandsons of yours?”

Lucas had indeed instructed Damon to take Callum and Elijah away, but it was what Damon wanted to do too.

They were the culprits who had killed his grandson, and he definitely wouldn’t let them off!

After hearing Damon’s words, Joseph was instantly astonished. The rest of the Owens also looked at Elijah and Callum in huge disbelief.

What did we just hear?

Tristan Parker was actually killed by someone sent by Elijah and Callum?
