My Billionaire Mom novel Chapter 800

The construction workers were hardworking, and the money they made did not come easy.

If the workers died, it meant that the breadwinners of three families were gone. Yolanda had not encountered such a situation before, and it was not easy to deal with.

Chuck called Betty.

"Betty, three people died at my construction site. Please help me find out about their families!"

"Yes, I'll look into it right now! Please wait a moment!"

After Chuck hung up, he squeezed his way into the crowd.

It was not the first time that Chuck had seen dead men. However, it was the first time he had encountered such an incident.

Chuck’s emotions were complicated, but he had to be conscientious when it came to dealing with the matter.

Chuck decided to compensate the same amount that Hargus would compensate the families, although Chuck did not need to be responsible for it.

"Hubby, the death of these people really came at a bad time. D*mn it, couldn't they have been more careful?" Florence was angry.

They had to compensate for their death! 700,000 dollars each!

"Whatever," Hargus said. "It doesn't matter! Well, Declan, you and the other three are from the same hometown. Ask their families to come over to retrieve their bodies, and I'll give compensate them each with 300,000 dollars!" Florence was secretly delighted. Her husband was so smart. He would only pay them 300,000 dollars each instead of 700,000 dollars to keep their families quiet!

"What? Only 300,000 dollars? Aren't you too heartless?"

"It's a person's life! It should be at least 700,000 dollars!"

"We've been working for you for some time. How can you be so heartless?"

The construction workers were mostly from the same hometown. When they heard what Hargus said, they were all anxious. They all had families to support.

The bread- winners of the household was gone all of a sudden. What would happen to their family members?

300,000 dollars was not enough!

"What are you all arguing about? They did not wear any safety belts. Why are you blaming me for their death? I'm losing 900,000 dollars to compensate them. Who can I claim the money from?" Hargus was angry.

"Boss, you can't say that. You have asked us to speed up the work. You also said that as long as the speed and quality is there, we don't need to worry about anything else!"

"Are you crazy? If I ask you to die now, would you listen as well? They did not wear their safety belts, so they were asking for death. I'm doing my part by compensating them 300,000 dollars each! Whoever is not satisfied, just get out of here!"

Hargus was in a rage!

"How can you do this?" Yolanda's beautiful eyes were cold.

After all, it was a precious life. How could it worth so little? Now was not the time to be cheap.

How could he compensate them less than the standard amount?

"Miss Lane, I'm the unlucky one. They did not wear the safety belts. What does it have to do with me? I'm also a victim here!" Knowing that he could not offend Yolanda, he became a little polite!

"Anyhow, you can't do this!" Yolanda knew how hard it was to work at the construction site.

The dignity of the deceased would be lost if the compensation money was even lesser.

"I don't think it's a big deal. I have done what I need to. I should've let them know that if they wanted to die, they should die further away from me and not get me into trouble!"

"What! How can you say that?"

"When you first asked us to work at the construction site, you said that each of us would get 700,000 dollars if anything happens to us! Now that there is an accident, you do not keep to your promise?"

Hargus stirred up their anger!

It caused the workers to be furious!

"What are you talking about? I'll only pay 300,000 dollars. If you don't want it, just leave!" Hargus had nothing to fear. His father was influential, therefore it was easy for him to deal with such things.

"You are too heartless!"

"My three friends died in vain!"
