Chapter 710 It’s My Island. Where Can't I Go?
The highly alert and cautious volunteers were baffled.
"Didn't Aura say that this person who came this time is even more ruthless than the previous ones and they will be impolite to us." The volunteer who was the first to suggest moving out of the indigenous people’s house and staying together with Brule was very puzzled.
"Yeah, besides scolding Aura a little when she arrived on the island, she hasn't done anything else."
"What did I say? Don't believe everything the indigenous people tell you, you've been easily manipulated without even knowing it." Brule said while flying a drone.
The volunteers looked at each other in a complicated mood.
"Didn't you hear anything about her before coming here?" Burl asked again.
The volunteers shook their heads.
One person quickly said, "What good things could there possibly be? Most capitalists are the same, they can abandon their conscience for money."
Burl glanced at the man and said, "I am different from you. I don't judge a person's character based on social divisions. If you had understood her actions, you wouldn't have such biased opinions about her."
"What do you mean?" the man asked.
"You can search it up the charity projects she participated in and led." Burl looked mysterious. "Just the ones you can find will be quite impressive."
The volunteers looked at each other, and someone quickly pulled out their phone to search. Indeed, there was a compilation of Fiona's charity projects. It was dense and couldn't fit on one screen. From plant conservation to addressing menstrual stigma, education support, and helping individuals with special disabilities, she has done everything imaginable.
"Most of us regularly engage in charity work, right? Honestly, she focuses on groups and events that we may not even pay attention to," Burl continued, "Let's talk about the sea turtle rescue project she established last year in her daughter's name. Do you remember how much buzz it created online? But do you know she was the one who funded that project?"
No one said a word.
Burl shrugged and said, "After seeing all this, I don't believe she would be as heartless as the indigenous people claim, destroying the ecology for money."
After establishing Fiona's reputation as a kind person, Burl resisted the urge to praise her further and focused on flying his drone.
Fiona continued walking forward.
Henry had already familiarized himself with every nook and cranny of the island.
Henry confidently introduced the surroundings. "Several guesthouses are located in that area. We've had quite a few conflicts with them recently, so we usually avoid going there."
Fiona picked up a white flower that had fallen on the ground. It was about the size of a palm and appeared fresh. She played with it in her hand and casually tucked it behind her ear.
"I bought this place with my own money. Do you think I wouldn't dare to go?" Fiona said, glancing at Christopher. "Can you handle it? I can't fight at all."
Fiona looked at Henry.
Henry jokingly acknowledged, "I definitely can't."
Christopher cracked his knuckles and neck, making a creaking sound.
"Since I saw Aura earlier today, I've been holding back all day. Now, I can take on a hundred of them!"
Henry didn't know much about Christopher's background, only that he was a single father with a daughter. After Mr. Solomon's incident, he began helping Secretary Woods with his tasks.
He was about to say that Christopher was exaggerating by saying he could fight a hundred people at once.
However, little did he know that Christopher wasn’t bragging.
"Okay, let's go," Fiona said without hesitation, seemingly believing in it.
Henry remained silent.
As Henry followed along, he calculated in his mind how much his mother's accidental injury insurance, which she had bought for him, would cover.
This could be considered a work-related injury.
The company would also compensate for it.
In that case, they should also report the incident with the mud later on.
After all, Secretary Woods already knew about it.
Suddenly, a reprimand came from above.
"Who allowed you to come here?"
Fiona instinctively took two steps back, then looked up.
Coincidentally, there were still lingering clouds on the horizon, and a gentle sea breeze blew, tousling Fiona's hair.
Cyrus in the tree was staring at the person who had caught his attention.
After a brief pause, his heart began to beat violently.
Feeling the wind blowing her hair onto her face, Fiona furrowed her brows and brushed it away, causing a flower behind her ear to fall to the ground.
Cyrus noticed.
He immediately jumped down from the tree and subconsciously tried to pick up the fallen flower for her.
But as soon as he came down, a powerful punch came toward his face.
Cyrus narrowly avoided it, but a leg swept toward him.
"Christopher." Fiona's cold voice rang out.
The leg stopped very close to Cyrus's face.
Then, with reluctance, it was withdrawn.
Cyrus was taken aback and looked at Fiona again.
"I just wanted to help you pick up this flower," he said, just as Christopher, who had stepped back, accidentally stepped on the flower and crushed it.
Cyrus fell silent.
"Cyrus, do you remember me? We met last month," Henry politely greeted.
Only then did Cyrus notice Henry.
Cyrus furrowed his brows instinctively upon seeing Henry, and then, for some reason, he abruptly looked at the woman who had kept his heart pounding for so long.
In Cyrus's mind, the face that had once appeared in the news quickly overlapped with the person in front of him.
"She is..." Cyrus looked at Henry and asked.
"I'm Fiona, the CEO of Solomon Investments." Fiona introduced herself generously.
Cyrus's expression changed drastically, and he lowered his eyes, no longer looking at Fiona.
"You shouldn't have come over here," Cyrus said stiffly.
She turned out to be Darwin's wife.
Cyrus had seen Fiona in the news, but Fiona in person was quite different from what he had seen on TV.
Perhaps it was because she wasn’t in a suit.
"Kid, although the ownership of the Coral Sea is currently disputed, this island belongs to me. Even if the coral in the Coral Sea is truly cherished, it doesn't change this fact. It's my island, where can't I go?" A pleasant voice, with a hint of a smile, said words that Cyrus didn't like.
"Cyrus!"
At this moment, Aura quickly ran over.
Christopher stared at Aura.
Christopher thought to himself, ‘If she dares to come up and lay a hand on any of us, I will fight with her! I won’t be able to fall asleep if I don’t have a fight with someone today "
To his surprise, seeing his sister running over, Cyrus immediately stepped forward and stopped her a few steps away from Fiona. "Aura, go back!"
Aura saw Fiona from a distance, then she hurriedly ran over.
"Didn't you tell her that she can't come here? Does she intentionally provoke us and start a dispute even though she knows she shouldn't come?" "
