Toby came out of the crowd. As soon as he spoke, everyone looked at him. As the son of the village chief, Toby was well-respected in the village.
Toby glanced around and said, "Everyone, Kelly had talked to me in advance before coming here. This deal is good for us all. Now we are developing, and the children in our families are growing up. After a period of time, the middle school will be moved. If we continue to live here, it will be a problem for the children to go to school. As far as I know, the compensation in other places is one thousand eight hundred yuan per square metre. Now, Kelly and her husband have managed to get such big benefits for our village!"
As soon as Toby finished his words, Kelly immediately put on an arrogant look.
Even Kelly's brother was stunned.
"Sister Kelly, is this true?" A young man asked.
"Of course it's true. Do I need to lie to you?" Kelly rolled her eyes. "I just said that you people would rather believe in an outsider than me. When did she get back? And her boyfriend, I don't even know who he is? Is it amazing to find a job in the World Hotel? If I want to be a manager, I just need to talk to my husband!"
"That's right." Toby said, "Kelly is also a family member. We don't need to believe in an outsider's words. We don't know who he is and what he is up to!"
Toby looked at Henry unkindly as he spoke.
Henry shook his head helplessly and did not continue to talk. He had said what he had to say in order to warn others. Whether others believe it or not was none of his business. He did not care.
"No, no." Henry didn't care, but Amity couldn't watch Henry being misunderstood. She quickly said, "Brother Henry means the best for us."
"Ha." Toby chuckled and said, "Amity, you're too young. It's understandable that have bad judgment. You'd better come to your senses in time. I guess some people are interested in our village."
After Toby finished speaking, he stood there and said nothing.
At this moment, these villagers looked at Henry with a hint of defence in their eyes. Compared with Henry, they certainly believed in Toby more. After all, they were all on the same root.
"Well, I don't care." The middle-aged man said loudly, "Anyway, things are just like this. If you want to sell it, come and sign the contract. If you don't want to sell it, I won't force you!"
"That's right. There is a chance for you to make money. I don't want to be humiliated for doing a good thing." Kelly said in a bad mood.
People saw Kelly was a little ashamed. They thought it was what they had done before that made Kelly angry. She was kind enough to help them seize the opportunity. As a result, she was treated like this. If it happened to anyone, they would be in a bad mood.
"I'll sign it first!" Toby shouted. He was the first to step forward and sign his name on the document.
Seeing that Toby had signed the contract, some people who had been eager to sign their names also hurried up and signed their names.
