Bertha hurried downstairs.
Just in time, she heard someone yelling, "We have lost so much just because we listened to you. You can't leave without paying anything!"
Seth pulled Zora who wanted to rush forward angrily. "As I said, it's your own decision whether to stay and fight against Imbe Group."
"Bullshit!" An irritable man yelled at Seth.
Seth's eyes turned cold. He was no match for Athena's bodyguards.
But he was strong enough to knock down these islanders.
"Then what do you want?" Bertha walked down the stairs. Her tone was a lot tougher than usual.
Bertha and her husband used to be respected in the local area.
Otherwise, the islanders would not have followed their family and stayed on the island for so many months.
But now, everyone was going to leave, and the benefit was the most important. Nobody respected Bertha anymore.
"Bertha, we have no other intentions. We just can't take the losses quietly." The man in the lead looked at Bertha. "You know those people who moved away before are living a good life for months in Sinclair City. With the help of the staff of Imbe Group, they started a new business. Marsh's family can earn more than 10 thousand dollars a month! We suffer this loss because of your family. You must pay us!"
"How much?" Bertha asked.
Bertha's face darkened. "When my husband was alive, every one of you has gained his help. I'm so disappointed with you when you slander my daughter for money."
"Bertha, I didn't slander your daughter. I really saw it!" The woman said righteously, "And I can confirm that she must have done it on purpose. She did that when she saw Mrs. Crawford holding Niya. I was so scared of her face at that time. She even hoped Mrs. Crawford would die there."
"Seth, Mom, I didn't do that. She's slandering me!" Zora said hastily, "She just wants to force us to give them money."
"Great!" The woman said anxiously, "You don't dare to admit what you have done. We must go to Mrs. Crawford and make everything clear even if I can't take fifty thousand dollars for my family!"
The woman was decisive. After saying that, she was about to go outside.

The readers' comments on the novel: My Mommy Became A Billionaire After the Breakup
I am at Chapter 550 and there are almost 2 stories in 1. Aron and Evie's story could very well have been made into another story. Such a waste of time because I am reading for Byron and Athena, not Evie and Aron...
Is there no new updates after this one?...
