Chapter 582
After lan hung up, Carlene took a deep breath and said to the Shepard family, “lan’s in for $300 million to the EverBest Group Now you guys can go out and negotiate with the crowd outside the EverBest Group building. Make sure they leave ASAP. In two weeks, after we sign with the Raymond Corporation, EverBest will be back on its fect”
They immediately breathed a sigh of relief and got to work, ready to negotiate with the crowd outside.
Seeing this, Carlene chuckled and sent a text to Maja.
“lan’s giving EverBest a $300 million fifeline. No bankruptcy for them. You’ve been running around like a headless chicken, Ms. Pennyfeather, and your hubby just swooped in and saved the day.”
When Maja got the message, she was already home.
She also got a call from a professor, a representative of the homeowners.
“Ms. Penny, EverBest is offering us $1.5 million each. Should we keep protesting?”
EverBest’s reputation was in the gutter, and compensating the homeowners was the best way out.
Otherwise, once the media frenzy dies down, they might not get anything.
Maja knew the professor was tempted by the offer.
A decade ago, they put all their savings into these houses in prime locations. They’ve been complaining for years with no solution in sight. They never thought they could actually make EverBest bend.
Maja secretly hoped they would hold out, but she remembered Lillian’s words about being kind.
They got their compensation. It was time to go home.
The EverBest ordeal would continue to brew online for a while, but at least they had achieved their goal.
“No need to protest anymore. But make sure the $1.5 million hits your account ASAP. Any delay might complicate things. Once everyone’s funds are secured, I’ll send you off.”
After all, they were her comrades in arms.
The professor was so moved that he didn’t know what to say.
“Thank you, Ms. Penny; you’re our savior.”
Maja felt a pang of guilt. After all, they were here because of her selfish motives.
EverBest moved fast. In less than two hours, the funds were all in place.
The group booked a flight for 6 p.m. Maja drove to see them off.
Almost a hundred people were there, all waiting for her.
As Maja got out of the car, someone saw her and started to cry.
A week ago, when they met this beautiful woman, they never thought she would bring them all the way to Greenfield.
And they certainly never thought they would get compensation that was tenfold.
“Ms. Penny.”
“Ms. Penny, we can’t thank you enough.”
“You’re our benefactor.”
They didn’t know what gift to get, so each family chipped in $400 to buy Maja a pearl hair accessory.
The professor stepped forward and patted her hand lightly.
Everyone was overwhelmed with emotion and invited her to vacation at their seaside homes.
If Maja didn’t accept their gift, they’d probably never leave, so she accepted. As the last
For the first time in her life, she felt a sense of fulfillment.
kson entered the airport, she stood still in a daze.
She looked at the pearl hair accessory in her hand. It was beautifully crafted and lifelike.
Back in her car, she gripped the steering wheel and called her lawyer.
The group got compensated, but they didn’t sign a settlement with EverBest. EverBest’s crimes still needed to be prosecuted. All the evidence was still intact. Someone from EverBest needed to be held accountable.
Whoever that person was, someone had to take the fall.
Maja knew Carlene was selfish and would never let her allies take the blame. She’d choose someone else from the family.
But this would inevitably cause discontent. Once the seed of resentment was planted, it would grow into a towering tree in the future.
