Hearing this, Jane Sterling's heart sank.
Even without the police captain's explanation, she'd already figured out the truth.
"Quinn Realty built a residential building a few years ago. At the time, they attracted countless buyers with low prices, but it was a pre-construction sale. As everyone knows, that kind of project takes at least a year or two."
"This Owen Quinn took advantage of that time gap. All the conditions he promised—a shortened construction period, quick completion, move-in ready units—were all changed. Not only did he replace a large portion of the building's materials with cheap substitutes, but he also transferred all his assets abroad."
"A year later, the building wasn't handed over on schedule as he had promised. This led to dissatisfaction among the homeowners, who started to protest loudly."
