Chapter 1404


    His head was pounding something fierce.


    He nced again at the spot where Jaime had set up the surveince gear. “Looks like some sort of


    spying gadget.”


    “Surveince?” Zenobia’s face dropped. “Are they nning to keep an eye on the sea?”


    “Could be,” n replied. “But not to worry. I’m pretty sure that coral is a rare species. Once the experts


    come and confirm it, I can stop them from doing any work on the ind.”


    Zenobia looked down. “But that woman said they’re going to kick us out regardless!”


    The property was in their hands. Zenobia knew they had the right to send them packing!


    “I’ll figure something out,” n said calmly. “Don’t worry.”


    Of course, Zenobia was worried. That woman seemed like a tough cookie.


    But seeing n in pain, she didn’t want him to overthink. So, she nodded gently.


    Just then, someone downstairs called for Zenobia. He seemed quite flustered.


    Zenobia looked at n, who nodded at her. “Go check it out. I just need to rest a bit.”


    “Okay!”


    Zenobia rushed downstairs. A handsome guy in a white tee was there.


    “Osborn Quin, what’s the rush?” Zenobia asked seriously.Property ? 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.


    Osborn nced inside, like he was worried someone might hear something. He grabbed Zenobia and


    started to hustle towards the beach.


    As they neared the sand, Zenobia, growing irritated, yanked her hand away. “What’s going on?”


    ‘The ind’s suddenly swarming with people. I think they’re mercenaries!” Osborn said seriously.


    He had seen mercenaries before. These people had the same vibe.


    “It’s those rich folks who brought them!” Zenobia said sternly. “The CEO’s wife from Bane Corporation


    came today. These people must be her team.”


    “The CEO’s wife?” Osborn was surprised. “Has she been here before?”


    “No,” Zenobia said, frowning. “Why would I let here here?”


    Osborn thought for a moment. “Zenobia, you and your mom should take n and leave tonight. I’ll


    have a boat ready for you. I’ll stay here and hold them off.”


    “Why are you and mom acting like this? She said we should leave during the day, now you’re saying


    the same!” Zenobia snapped. “n and I have decided. We’re going to stick with the ind and our


    dad’s inn!”


    “You have no idea what will happen if we stay!” Osborn said angrily.


    Zenobia was rarely scolded by her brother.


    She was angry too. “Then tell me, what will happen?! Osborn, I used to trust you. I thought you could


    save dad’s inn. But after your rounds…”


    Zenobia instinctively looked back and swallowed the rest of her sentence.


    “Anyway, I’m not going to trust your words anymore. I’ll protect this ind and dad’s inn myself!”


    “Your n is to poison the corals?” Osborn asked quietly.


    Zenobia was taken aback. “How do you know?”


    “You had my friend buy that fungus powder for you. Did you think he wouldn’t tell me?” Osborn said,


    pointing to the running surveince gear. “Did you see that? Do you think the CEO’s wife of Bane


    Corporation is a good person? She’s running a huge corporation all by herself. She’s not someone you


    can easily deal with!”
