Chapter 1433
A middle-aged man angrily said, “So after all that, we’re just taking the money and leaving. What have we been doing these past few months?”
“Yeah, my friend moved out half a year ago. He lives in a nice resettlement house and started a snack bar with the compensation money. Business is booming! My mom makes better snacks than his mom. If we had moved out back then, we would be doing even better than him by now!”
“It’s all because some people were spreading rumors!”
Everyone’s accusations were pointed at Zenobia’s family.
“What we were fighting for with Bane Corporation was never about the money, we wanted to stay!” Zenobia retorted, “You guys are the ones being all sneaky and manipulative, who else can you blame?”
The man being accused of being sneaky and manipulative immediately got angry. He slammed the table and pointed at Zenobia’s nose, “I dare you say that again? If it wasn’t for respecting your father, we would have stormed into your house last night and dragged out your mystery fiancé for a good beating! And you dare to mock us here!!”
“That’s right, didn’t he say he was confident that he could make Bane Corporation compromise and let us stay? Now the first ones to run are you guys!!”
A resident who didn’t want the money, only to stay, his eyes red, also slammed the table and cursed.
“If you don’t want to go, you can refuse to sign!” Osborn looked at the man who spoke, “We were the ones fighting in the front, what have you done other than following us? Now that we can’t get what we want, you want to blame us?”
“Let’s just…
Viola had grown quite a few white hairs in the past couple of days.
She waved her hand tiredly and helplessly, “Let’s go back and pack up, prepare to leave.”
Seeing their mother like this, Osborn and Zenobia decided not to argue anymore.
They stood up, helped their mother up, ignored the hateful glares from everyone, and left the activity center.
“Are we just gonna let them off the hook?” The man accused of being sneaky and manipulative looked at everyone, “Shouldn’t they compensate us for our losses over the past few months?”
“Yeah, I heard before that their hotel is bigger, so even though they have fewer people, their compensation is more than ours…” Pearl’s grandmother rambled on.
“The land they initially occupied was originally public land. Zenobia’s father saved the island owner, and the owner, against everyone’s objections, leased that prime piece of land to him at a rock-bottom price! In the past few years, most of the tourists who came to the island went to their hotel. They’ve always made more than us, and now they’re getting more compensation than us. It’s not fair!”
“Let’s decide on an amount, go straight to Viola’s house, and settle this before we move!!” An older man made the decision.
“We shouldn’t ask for too much, how about 50,000 dollars per household?”
“Sounds fair.”
“Agreed.”
And so, the islanders expressed their opinions and naturally settled on the amount.
After a while, the bank accounts provided by the islanders began receiving compensation from Bane Corporation.
Everyone looked at the long string of numbers, and even those who didn’t want to leave couldn’t help but smile.
“I checked, according to our policy, the compensation amount should be…” Someone looked at the contract and spoke with a disappointed expression to the ecstatic people, “The amount we received is almost three times the policy amount.”
“Sean mentioned this before. He said that when the contract was sent to the Bane Corporation headquarters, President Silverman thought the money was too little. He was worried that we wouldn’t be able to live off this money after we leave the island, so he gave us some extra.”

In fact, when they were discussing this matter that day, Ivy was sleeping in Wayne’s office. When Ivy woke up, she came out in a daze looking for her dad.
Wayne never made Ivy leave when he was working or in a meeting.
Seeing her come out, he immediately smiled and reached out to Ivy.
A moment later, Ivy was sleepily sitting in Wayne’s lap.
