Forced Into Marriage: My Husband’s Too Mean novel Chapter 412

Lindsey’s throat was dry, so she finally said, "Chief Jipson, Denarius will cooperate with all your investigations, but there’s no conclusion at this stage, so isn't it a bit too much to freeze our assets?"

Her tone was a bit aggressive and her eyes were stern as she stared at Felipe Jipson. She was just shy of saying that there was something fishy about their decision.

Felipe raised his eyebrows slightly. He looked at Lindsey for a few seconds before extending his index finger and pointed upwards. "Mrs. Guggenheim, if you have any complaints, please wait until the investigation results are out."

His words were polite and official, which made Lindsey lose her last bit of sanity. "Are you crazy? Do you know what freezing Denarius' assets would mean? The whole country, even the whole North-American economy will be affected! Have you calculated how many economic losses it’ll cause?"

She was extremely furious, but at the end of the day, her heart still ached for Zayn. This was Zayn's hard work. Lindsey could not bear for it to be ruined just because of such a thin piece of paper.

A young woman behind Felipe wanted to say something but was stopped by his raised hand. Felipe still had a carefree attitude and his voice was indifferent as he said, "Mrs. Guggenheim, if you have any complaints, you can wait until the investigation results are out. For now, please don't interfere with our investigation."

Lindsey felt like all her efforts were wasted.

Next to her, Quentin and Soren were not necessarily any calmer than Lindsey. Denarius was not only Zayn's heart and soul, it was also theirs. Freezing their assets was not a trivial matter. Even if it turned out that Denarius was not involved in any illegal acts, it would have a significant impact on the company.

Regardless of the economic losses it would incur, their reputation and credibility would be greatly reduced, so how would they be able to overcome this?

Felipe was notoriously known to be unsympathetic and upright. Felipe and Zayn had some relationship, but it was only relative to others.

Due to his background, he rarely dealt with businessmen. With his status, every step was like walking on thin ice. It would not benefit him to have a close relationship with businessmen.

"I’d like to advise you that all your actions now are meaningless. You might as well hurry and find a way to prove that Denarius isn’t involved in corporate crimes. If you have time, that might be more useful than wasting your time here." Felipe glanced at Quentin and Soren before his eyes fell back on Lindsey.

His words sounded exactly the same as what he said earlier with little emotion, but he was giving them advice.

Lindsey took a deep breath and clenched her fists. The pain in her palm calmed her mind. The most important thing at the moment was indeed to find evidence to prove that Denarius and Zayn were not guilty.

This matter had escalated to this point in less than 24 hours. The other party must be determined for Denarius to fall with every ruthless move.

The freezing of assets meant that all of Denarius' ongoing projects must be forcibly terminated and all business activities could no longer be carried out. Lindsey stood frozen in place at the Denarius office lobby. Even though it was the end of May, her hands and feet felt cold. Her heart was filled with a sense of powerlessness.

Moreover, the so-called freezing of all assets meant that they could no longer continue to live at the Guggenheim mansion either.

......

Mrs. Wendy’s eyes were red as she looked at the police officer who was putting a seal on the Guggenheim mansion's front gate. "Madam, what should we do?"

Lindsey tightened her grip on Dezi. She withdrew her gaze and looked around to find that all the servants at the Guggenheim mansion were looking at her.

After saying that, she even looked at Quentin with disdain.

They were going back and forth. Whether it was Quentin’s house or Opal Suites, they could not all fit there. In the end, Quentin even said that he would sell his house and change it to a bigger one.

Lindsey naturally would not agree to that. Before they reached a conclusion, Lindsey’s phone rang.

She picked it up and Shaun's voice immediately came through, "Linds, why didn't you tell me about such a big issue?"

It was a slightly reproachful tone, but full of concern.

It had been more than half a day, but Lindsey's heart was still on edge, so she did not think of calling anyone for help. When Shaun asked this question, she did not know what to say. "Big Brother..."

Shaun sighed gently. "Don't be scared, it’ll be fine."

"I..." Lindsey's gaze fell on Dezi before she said slowly but firmly, "I'm not afraid."

"It's good that you're not afraid." Shaun quickly added, "But it's okay to be scared. It's not like the sky is falling. I still have some things to settle here. I’ve sent someone to pick you guys up and send you to my place to settle down."

Shaun knew that Lindsey was about to say something, so he continued in one breath, “Don’t reject me. Zayn earned a lot of money for me, so I’m just paying him back some interest. If you treat me as your brother, then don’t refuse.”
