The Epic Blind Date with My Boss novel Chapter 264

Chapter 264 Hitting a Wall

Her voice cut through the hostile air in the room like a bell. “You can’t stop us from demolishing your homes,” she said. “We’ll wire the compensation as promised. So, what are you going to do? Sue us?”

“We have legally acquired this land and paid the agreed price. Is it really worth it to continue this dispute?”

Her eyes scanned the room with sharp intensity. “My father is of a similar age, so I understand your concerns. I would love to receive as much as possible, but I would never sacrifice my dignity for money.”

Her voice was laced with exasperation as she berated their behavior.

Josie took a deep breath, her face growing grim. “This is our final offer. We are willing to negotiate on the rates, but we will not be flexible if you are unwilling to compromise.”

The residents were taken aback by Josie’s bluntness. Their expressions hardened as they listened to her ultimatums.

A man stepped out of the shadows and shoved Josie. “Don’t listen to her!” he shouted. “She’s just trying to trick us! Look at her! She’s wearing expensive clothes! She’s not one of us!”

The man shoved Josie with such force that she almost lost her balance. She was wearing heels, making it difficult to keep her footing. She stumbled backward, and for a moment, it looked like she was going to fall into the deep hole behind her that the excavator had dug.

Alice cried out, “Jo!” and reached out to catch Josie just before she fell.

Josie’s face turned ashen pale as she looked behind her in shock..

She felt a sharp pain in her shoulder blades.

The man who had shoved her was also stunned.

Josie let out a deep sigh and shook her head. “Let’s end it here,” she said, defeated.

Everyone else sighed in relief. The man who had shoved Josie smirked. “I told you she was only pretending!” he said.

Josie’s rage boiled over. She stopped in her tracks and glared at the man. She wanted to throw a brick at him but knew it would only worsen things.
