Chapter 1404
His head was pounding something fierce.
He glanced again at the spot where Jaime had set up the surveillance gear. “Looks like some sort of spying gadget.”
“Surveillance?” Zenobia’s face dropped. “Are they planning to keep an eye on the sea?”
“Could be,” Alan replied. “But not to worry. I’m pretty sure that coral is a rare species. Once the experts come and confirm it, I can stop them from doing any work on the island.”
Zenobia looked down. “But that woman said they’re going to kick us out regardless!”
The property was in their hands. Zenobia knew they had the right to send them packing!
“I’ll figure something out,” Alan said calmly. “Don’t worry.”
Of course, Zenobia was worried. That woman seemed like a tough cookie.
But seeing Alan in pain, she didn’t want him to overthink. So, she nodded gently.
Just then, someone downstairs called for Zenobia. He seemed quite flustered.
Zenobia looked at Alan, who nodded at her. “Go check it out. I just need to rest a bit.”
“Okay!”
Zenobia rushed downstairs. A handsome guy in a white tee was there.
“Osborn Quinlan, what’s the rush?” Zenobia asked seriously.
Osborn glanced inside, like he was worried someone might hear something. He grabbed Zenobia and started to hustle towards the beach.
As they neared the sand, Zenobia, growing irritated, yanked her hand away. “What’s going on?”
‘The island’s suddenly swarming with people. I think they’re mercenaries!” Osborn said seriously.
He had seen mercenaries before. These people had the same vibe.
“It’s those rich folks who brought them!” Zenobia said sternly. “The CEO’s wife from Bane Corporation came today. These people must be her team.”
“The CEO’s wife?” Osborn was surprised. “Has she been here before?”
“No,” Zenobia said, frowning. “Why would I let her come here?”
Osborn thought for a moment. “Zenobia, you and your mom should take Alan and leave tonight. I’ll have a boat ready for you. I’ll stay here and hold them off.”
“Why are you and mom acting like this? She said we should leave during the day, now you’re saying the same!” Zenobia snapped. “Alan and I have decided. We’re going to stick with the island and our dad’s inn!”
“You have no idea what will happen if we stay!” Osborn said angrily.
Zenobia was rarely scolded by her brother.
She was angry too. “Then tell me, what will happen?! Osborn, I used to trust you. I thought you could save dad’s inn. But after your rounds…”
Zenobia instinctively looked back and swallowed the rest of her sentence.
“Anyway, I’m not going to trust your words anymore. I’ll protect this island and dad’s inn myself!”
“Your plan is to poison the corals?” Osborn asked quietly.
Zenobia was taken aback. “How do you know?”
“You had my friend buy that fungus powder for you. Did you think he wouldn’t tell me?” Osborn said, pointing to the running surveillance gear. “Did you see that? Do you think the CEO’s wife of Bane Corporation is a good person? She’s running a huge corporation all by herself. She’s not someone you can easily deal with!”
