Stay Around You Now And Forever novel (Hunter Jackson) novel Chapter 163

It was as if half a century had passed.

 

In the car, it was so quiet that even the sound of a needle falling on the ground could be heard.

 

Hunter's apology instantly silenced Emily.

 

Her breathing was gradually in disorder. She didn't know if she was still angry, or if she had completely forgiven him.

 

She found herself a little cheap.

 

As long as this man treated her slightly better, she would forget about the things that he had done to hurt her.

 

However, how could she be so cheap all the time?

 

But now, she could not be angry.

 

Suddenly, the car stopped.

 

Emily looked up and found that this was not a good place to park. There seemed to be no bus stop around.

 

“Something seems to go wrong.” Hunter stopped the car and opened the window to let her breathe freely.

 

“You take a rest here. I'll be right back.”

 

“What happened?” Hunter was a little serious. Emily sensed that.

 

“It's fine. Stay in the car. Don't get off.”

 

Hunter handed her the key and got off the car.

 

After he got out of the car, Emily saw what was going on ahead.

 

Wasn't this the place bought by the Jackson family? They invested it in real estate.

 

Because of the size of the area, this matter had been a hot topic on the Economic Channel for a long time.

 

However, this was the Jackson Group’s business. Emily had been with Hunter for so long, so she knew very well that this business was not done by him.

 

But now, it didn’t look good.

 

A group of people gathered at the construction site. Did they make trouble?

 

“It’s Hunter! It's Young Master Hunter of the Jackson family!”

 

Finally, someone saw Hunter passing by.

 

The people surrounding the site manager immediately changed their target and rushed towards Hunter.

 

“You demolish the buildings in this place by force. You're going too far!”

 

“That's right. We are unwilling to sell our ancestral homes. You actually cut off water and electricity, forcing us to leave!”

 

“Didn't we agree that we would talk about this matter slowly? Why do you cut off water and electricity? You profiteers!”

 

More and more people gathered around. When the site manager saw that it was Young Master Hunter, he was so frightened that he hurriedly let the workers go over to protect him.

 

“What's going on?” Hunter’s expression darkened and said coldly with majesty.

 

It was strange that the villagers who made a fuss just now quieted down.

 

Hunter's gaze swept across the crowd and finally landed on the site manager.

 

“They haven't moved yet. Why is there no water or electricity?”

 

“This... “The manager was in a dilemma. He was only executing orders.

 

“They are unwilling to move away. They have already agreed on the price, but they go back on their word.”

 

“Nonsense! You guys are the ones who break your word!”

 

“That's right. Originally, they said that each household would receive a share of the settling-in fee. Today, they actually said that it has been cancelled!”

 

“Yes! You have said that each household will receive a sum of settling-in fee of at least 100,000 per person.”

 

“We trust you, but you actually lied!”

 

“Didn't you sign the agreement?’ Hunter stood in the crowd.

 

Although it was noisy, he stood inside like a king.

 

Everyone consciously kept distance from him, and no one dared to take a single step closer.

 

“The agreement says 100,000, but what you said is 100,000 per head! You said that there is no need to change because the Jackson family is wealthy and powerful. It is impossible for them to deceive us. We all trust you!”

 

“Yes, we all believe that it was you, Young Master Hunter, who said this!”

 

“The Jackson family is lying! Young Master Hunter is lying!”

 

The crowd gradually talked again. They became more excited when they thought about that their houses would be demolished and that their money was reduced.

 

Those people gradually surrounded Hunter.
