They had handed out monetary benefits and had compensated the rest of the companies by giving them more business opportunities through their own firms.
All of their efforts had been directed towards putting a halt to the Windsor family's sugar business. But with the help of the fleet of trucks that Elizabeth family had sent over, the Windsor family had no need for any collaboration with the transport companies of the city.
As a result, not only had they failed to achieve their objective but the transport companies were also approaching them one by one to condemn their attitude. The opportunity of coalition with Windsor family for a huge project like sugar had been given to a foreign business. The transport companies based in Byzantium city couldn't take it and blamed the three families for forcing their will on them. Some of them even demanded more compensation.
