His Versatile Gorgeous Wife novel Chapter 770

As soon as his voice fell, the villagers chimed in and echoed their agreements.

“Yeah! You have to pay us today.”

“Pay us our money!” the villagers shouted in unison.

In fact, their patience had reached its limit. They had to humble themselves each time they asked for wages. When Malorie was delighted, they would be given a month's salary. However, when she was in a bad mood, she would use all kinds of excuses to delay their salary payment.

Sad to say, they actually believed everything Malorie said each time, and so they had not been paid for a long time.

If it weren't for the free meals provided, half of them would have starved to death a long time ago.

They thought the Southalls ran out of money. But the fact was that they just refused to pay them even though they had money. To their disappointment, they didn't expect that they had been toyed by the Southalls all this while.

A vein twitched on Henrick's forehead.

“You want to make me pay today?” Have you all lost your mind?”

Malorie had been owing them the pay for so many years. If he had to return the money to them, the figure would be huge. Just the thought of it was enough to make him feel the pinch.

Fixing his icy gaze on Henrick, Teddy asked, “That's right. You have to pay us now and not a penny less! Or else...”

“Or else what...” Henrick was determined not to pay them a single penny. He raised his chin and looked at them provocatively. “Are you going to kill me if I refuse to pay? My mother owes you the money. If you want it so much, you can ask her. I don't have any with me now.”

With that, the crowd fell silent and looked at him in disbelief.

Unexpectedly, Malorie's son was as shameless and stingy as she was—like mother, like son.

Nigel nodded and determinedly replied, “Okay! So you aren't going to pay, right?”

“Yes!”

“Everyone!” Teddy then turned around and called out to the villagers. “We are going to empty his house today.

Whatever that we can move out, it will be taken as our pay.”
