Dear Ex-wife, Marry Me novel Chapter 582

After Ian hung up, Carlene took a deep breath and said to the Shepard family, "Ian'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 feet."

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.

"Ian's giving EverBest a $300 million lifeline. 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.
