Chapter 704 She Is Not Just the CEO’s Wife
"You!" Aura clearly did not expect that this woman who came would be so dominant.
"And all of you." Fiona scanned those people who had clearly lost their initial momentum. "Whether you came to protect that coral or were paid to intentionally cause damage, I need to remind you that you're trespassing on my company's territory, and strictly speaking, I can hold you legally responsible at any time. If any of you engage in any extreme behavior, such as harming someone or destroying the high-tech equipment of my construction team here, I won’t be merciful and will definitely hold you responsible. So, think carefully about what you should or shouldn't do."
After Fiona finished speaking, she put on sunglasses, and walked straight toward her residence.
"Indeed, you capitalists have such an arrogant face," Aura sneered behind her.
Fiona turned around and smiled at her. "Well, it's good that you understand I am a capitalist. However, I don't know what qualifications you have to sneer at my arrogance. After all, it's you who is trying to steal from capitalists. Does stealing from capitalists make you particularly noble?"
Aura's face turned extremely ugly.
"We have lived on this island for decades, and you robbed it from us!" Aura's eyes were filled with undissolved resentment.
Fiona didn't show any change in her expression, just a deepening smile. "So, you've lived on this island for decades. Do you have ownership rights?"
Aura clenched her fists tightly.
Christopher was irritated and he was holding back from slapping Aura.
But Aura didn't turn violent, he had no reason to.
Seeing Aura's tightly clenched fist, Christopher kept chanting in his mind, ‘Come on, do it, then I can deal with you!’
However, thinking of something, she took a long breath and released her fist.
Christopher fell silent.
"You're quite something," Aura said to Fiona. "I just want to see how strong-willed you can be."
"I suggest you hold your expectations," Fiona replied, and then she completely ignored them and walked away.
Aura stood in place and kicked the sand fiercely.
"Aura, this woman seems hard to deal with. What should we do next?"
"Yeah, I don't think her companions are easy to mess with either..."
"That’s nothing. Look at this." Another middle-aged man took out his phone and handed it to Aura.
It was a short video.
Dozens of burly people appeared on the dock. They were mercenaries from around the world.
It was estimated that these mercenaries would all arrive on the island before nightfall.
Aura and the others didn't know at this moment that the ones coming were mercenaries.
They only thought they were Fiona's people.
She thought for a moment before walking over to those holding banners.
"Friends, just then, that was the leader of the capitalists. Not only did she come alone, but she also brought dozens of thugs. I guess they're here for you all. My mother and I are kind people, and I don't want to involve you all. You should leave. I'll arrange a boat for you as soon as possible!"
"No way!" The crowd immediately became lively.
"What thugs? If they dare to lay a finger on us, I'll immediately record a video and post it on my TikTok. I want the whole world to see the ugly face of these capitalists!"
"That's right! I have over six hundred thousand followers on my account! Aura, don't be afraid. We'll protect you and the Coral Sea!"
Everyone was filled with righteous indignation.
They prepared themselves for a tough fight against the thugs brought by the capitalists.
Aura, on the other hand, found an excuse and drove to her family's hotel.
Aura's family hotel was the largest one on the island, with over forty rooms.
The building had local characteristics, mainly built with stone and wood.
"Mom!"
Aura jumped out of the car and hastily ran inside.
"What happened?" A slightly overweight, equally sun-darkened woman hurriedly welcomed her.
"Was there another person coming? Have you seen them?"
"Yes." Aura grimaced. "It's a woman, who looks delicate and fragile, as if she can be easily broken. Her skin is fair that it glows, but she is a ruthless person, different from the previous two!"
The previous two had been polite, never engaging in direct conflicts with them, like a smiling tiger.
"A woman?" Aura's mother's face suddenly became anxious. "What kind of woman? Do you know what position she holds at Solomon's?"
"I don't know, Henry calls her Ms. Woods! Her position should be higher than Henry's. Henry is the deputy general manager. That woman, could she be the female CEO who just lost her husband?" Aura speculated.
But as Aura finished speaking, her mother suddenly felt weak in the knees, almost collapsing to the ground.
Aura immediately held her up. "Mom, what's wrong with you?"
"I'm fine." the woman's face was panicked. Then she tightly held Aura's hand. "Aura! The compensation they offered is already a lot. Let's move the hotel to another place and continue our business. We don't have to stay here. Let's leave, and you and Blaise can get married as soon as possible. We can still live happily together as a family!"
"Mom!" Aura's expression darkened. "What's wrong with you? This inn was left by my father. It's our home. I don't want money. I want to keep my father's things!"
"You listen to me!" The woman held her daughter's hand tightly, tears welling up in her eyes.
"Are you afraid of Fiona?" Aura sensed something. "Is she really that powerful?"
"She's extremely powerful," the woman said sternly. "Fiona is not just the CEO's wife, she is also the heiress of a very influential old money family. She has always been ruthless, and I'm worried about you and Blaise!"
"Who is very powerful?" a man's deep and pleasant voice came from inside.
Aura's mother was startled and immediately went up to push the man who was about to come out back inside. "Blaise, there are a lot of people outside now. Don't show yourself easily. It would be dangerous if they found out that you were behind the scenes helping us!"
"Mom, be careful!" Aura who appeared extremely nervous followed in.
The weather on the island had been pleasant lately.
It was one of the most comfortable periods of the year.
The place where Fiona lived was a private garden left behind by the former island owner.
The bedroom was perfectly positioned, facing the coral sea.
It was truly beautiful there.
"Fiona, the water here is not good. I've brought several cases of purified water you usually drink." Henry busied himself.
"I'm not that delicate." Fiona looked at the sea. "I heard you were here when Darwin bought this island?"
Henry lowered his eyelids, concealing his momentarily reddened eyes.
"Yes, I was here." he paused for a moment. "Coincidentally, Mr. Solomon was in this room. The spot where you are standing now is where he decided to buy this place." "
