Chapter: 820
What Lay ahead was either a second attempt at mediation or a Legal battle awaiting the
court’s verdict.
Cade filled Sabrina in on the details. Zeke proposed a full refund on the materials and a
tenfold payment. On top of that, he asked for three hundred thousand for lost
opportunities, tarnished reputation, emotional distress, and other related grievances.
“Zeke’s not backing down. The supplier counters, claiming Zeke was aware of the material
issues. They’re only willing to refund the material cost and offer an additional one hundred
thousand for damages.

“What did Trevor say?”
“Well, it’s mostly Zeke talking. Honestly, he’s pretty confident he’s in the right. He’s cocky
and frequently brandishes threats of legal action.”
Sabrina wasn’t surprised even a little.
After all, Zeke had a background in kidnapping. How upright could he be?
However, what did catch her off guard was her assumption that Trevor would intervene.
Considering the demand for ten times the materials’ value, plus an additional three
hundred thousand, it seemed like Zeke saw the suppliers as gullible. They weren’t likely to
comply.
The suppliers wanted to avoid the courtroom, hoping for a private resolution.
But pushing the suppliers to the edge and forcing a legal battle might mean the Faulkner
family wouldn’t get their desired compensation.
If their true aim was money, then Zeke’s approach seemed flawed.
Sabrina felt that with Cade involved, a more measured strategy could have likely ensured
a win.
“If they’re set on legal action, keep tracking the case and push for maximum
compensation,” Sabrina responded.

To her, this lawsuit was an outsider’s affair. She was more interested in gauging the
Faulkner family’s stance.
Just then, a new message from Trevor popped up. “Are you acquainted with any private
investigator?”
Sabrina asked, “Private investigator? Why bring that up all of a sudden?”
Trevor explained, “To be frank, I anticipated this outcome. Before the mediation, I spotted
the head of the suppliers conversing with a man.
This man was adamant that regardless of our compensation proposal, they’d rebuff us,
pushing us towards a lawsuit. Their plan is to drag this out, even stalling after the
sentence until the court enforces payment.”
Such stalling tactics could span years.
This revelation from Trevor caught Sabrina off guard.
