The island's non-residents were leaving one by one.
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.
