GoodReadChapter 582 The Seed of Resentment Once Raymond ended the call, Olivia exhaled deeply, turning to address the Stone family members in the room. "Raymond has committed to a $3 billion investment in Eternal Growth Group," she informed them. "Now, we need to persist in negotiating with the crowd outside the Eternal Growth Group building. We must ensure they disperse as soon as possible. In half a month, we're scheduled to sign a deal with the Montague Group, and the Eternal Growth Group will survive." Members of the Stone family immediately expressed relief, and they quickly mobilized to negotiate with the people on the scene.
Olivia sneered and sent a message to Selena.
Olivia: [Raymond has agreed to invest $3 billion in the Eternal Growth Group, ensuring it won't go bankrupt. It's a pity that you have done so much, but your husband could've just casually tossed a wrench in the works.] When Selena received this message, she had already arrived at Ashbourne Manor.
At the stime, she also received a call from David Garcia, the spokesperson for that group of homeowners. "Penny, the Eternal Growth Group is willing to compensate each of us $1.5 million. Do you think we should continue to make trouble?" In fact, the Eternal Growth Group's reputation is already very bad, and compensation is the best solution for them. Otherwise, when the heat dies down, the compensation may also disappear. Selena knew that David calling at this moment must mean he was tempted.
Ten years ago, almost all of those homeowners had bought houses by emptying their savings. For the past ten years, they had been complaining without any results. They had never thought that they could really make the Eternal Growth Group compromise today.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSelena harbored a selfish hope that the homeowners would persist. Yet, Barbara's words echoed in her mind: "At the very least, strive to be a kind person. These people had received the compensation they deserved, and it was tfor them to go back.
The Eternal Growth Group issue would still be discussed online for a while, but at least the homeowners had achieved their goal.
|| Selena said to David, "You don't need to continue making trouble, but this $1.5 million must be transferred to your cards immediately. Any delay, and there may be unforeseen circumstances. Once all of your funds are in place, I will take you away." After all, they had worked together.
David's voice was trembling, and he was too excited to know what to say. "Thank you, Penny. You are our savior," he said.
Selena actually felt a bit guilty, as she had only brought them here for her own selfish reasons.
The Eternal Growth Group's actions were very swift this time. All the funds were transferred in less than two hours.
The group of homeowners booked a flight at six in the evening, and Selena drove to meet them.
More than eighty people, and not a single one had left. They were all waiting for her.
After Selena got out of the car, someone saw her and even cried.
When the homeowners saw Selena a week ago, they had never imagined that she would really bring them to Silver Bay City, nor did they ever think each of them would receive compensation several times over. "Penny, we truly thank you," someone said.
"You are our great benefactor," another one said.
The homeowners didn't know what gift to buy to thank Selena, so each family contributed four thousand dollars to buy her a gemstone necklace.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmDavid stepped forward to hand it to her, his hand trembling as he patted her hand.
Everyone was moved, and then they all invited Selena to the coast to play.
If Selena didn't accept this gift, they would probably linger here for a long time. So Selena accepted it. As she it watched the last person enter the airport, she stood there still, unable to cback to her senses. It was the first tshe felt a sense of fulfillment in her chest. She looked at the exquisite craftsmanship of the necklace in her hand. It was exceptionally beautiful.
After getting back into the car, she held the steering wheel and called her lawyer.
The homeowners had received compensation, but they had not signed a forgiveness letter with the Eternal Growth Group. The Eternal Growth Group's criminal activities still needed to be pursued in court, and the evidence was still there. Someone from the Eternal Growth Group had to cout and take responsibility. No matter who the scapegoat was, someone had to step up.
Selena knew Olivia was a selfish person who wouldn't let those in her circle shoulder any blame. So, she would definitely select other family members to serve as scapegoats.
But this was bound to cause dissatisfaction among others. The seed of resentment deeply rooted in their hearts, like a seed once planted, like! would take root and sprout, eventually growing into a towering tree.
