Chapter 726 An Unprecedented Crisis
Many volunteers on the island used to live with the islanders, and although they have now moved out, they still stay in touch.
Not long after, the news that islanders had accepted Solomon's compensation plan and had collectively left the island spread among the volunteers.
Some of the volunteers were confused.
The others were indignant!
"It must be Solomon's CEO who threatened the islanders with the incident of her injury yesterday. She thinks that if the islanders leave, they can do whatever they want with the precious coral!"
"Capitalists truly are evil!!!"
"We must make our stance clear. We absolutely cannot let her think that everything will be fine once the islanders leave!"
"Yes! Let's split up. I'll take a few people to find the islanders and clarify what happened. If they have been threatened or intimidated by Solomon's CEO, I'll persuade them to stay! The rest of you go to Solomon's CEO to reside and express our strong dissatisfaction, as well as our determination!"
After a brief discussion, they divided their work.
They left the crowd in two separate groups.
Jerry, leading the way, bumped into familiar faces as soon as they arrived at Fiona's residence.
"Burl! Mike!!"
Jerry yelled angrily at Burl and Mike, who were coming out.
Burl was in a bad mood.
Learning that Fiona was injured yesterday, Burl was so worried that he was about to go crazy. Burl wanted to follow her, but there were no transportation options to leave the island at night.
When she came back, she didn't even take a rest and immediately went to deal with those islanders.
Burl saw the eye patch on Fiona's face when she returned to her residence, and his heart ached terribly.
Burl, who had never had a good impression of those islanders, detested them deeply at this moment.
He came out with a burst of fire.
Jerry happened to irritate him at this moment.
Jerry frowned, looking as if he had been greatly deceived. "You two liars! You're just the allies of the Old Money!"
"What? Is there a law that says wealthy people can't protect marine life and be a volunteer? You've been on this island for so long, but what have you done? In two days on the island, I've done more things than you do, and yet you did nothing but hold banners. Use your brain for once."
Mike had never seen Burl curse before.
Mike was stunned on the spot.
"You!!!" Jerry was completely taken aback by being scolded, "I won't argue with an uncivilized liar like you. I'll edit the footage tonight and expose your ugly face to the public. Let my fans come and take a look!"
"All right!" Burl didn't hesitate and pulled out his phone, tinkering with it before shoving the screen directly in Jerry's face. "It just so happens that I want to expose your act of secretly filming volunteer girls under their skirts. Let's see who ends up dead first!"
Jerry glanced at what was on Burl's phone. His face turned pale in an instant.
Burl stumbled upon this when he was flying his drone.
Jerry held a prominent position among this group of people. The main reason was that he had three million followers on TikTok and had received some awards related to environmental protection.
Jerry generally appeared gentle and cultured.
Who would have known that Jerry was actually this kind of perverted man in private?
Coincidentally, the lady next to Jerry was the one he had secretly filmed.
The lady was extremely shocked.
She raised her hand and slapped Jerry across the face.
"You sick freak. I'm going to sue you!"
"I support you. I will send you the video later. There's also footage of him harassing several other girls. I'll send them all to you. You should form an Avengers alliance. If you don't have enough money for legal fees, come to me, and I will help you!"
"All right! Let's exchange contact information!" The lady didn't hesitate and took out her phone.
Jerry saw what was happening.
He forcefully grabbed Burl's phone. "Burl, what grudge do you have against me? Why are you trying to ruin me?"
"I have no grudge against you. I simply look down on scum like you!" Burl's face was filled with disdain as he brushed off Jerry's hand.
Burl directly added the lady's contact information.
Jerry saw this and turned to beg the lady. "Mandy, listen to me. I didn't film these with malicious intent. You don't know what kind of person I am? I just have some bad habits, but after filming, I won't show them to anyone! My original intention was not to harm you all. Please believe me. Also, please consider our friendship before. Can you forgive me once?"
Jerry spoke, instantly bursting into tears.
"If this matter is exposed, my career and family will be completely ruined. You're a kind girl, and I haven't caused any substantial harm to you. Will you forgive me?"
"You usually appear to be a decent person, but suddenly, you did something like this to girls. For them, it's like a person who was just fine turning rotten and disgusting in an instant. How horrifying! How do you still have the face to ask for forgiveness, you pervert!"
Burl continued to make joking attacks.
Mandy also snapped back, now fully alert. "Indeed, I am a kind girl, but my kindness is reserved for kind people. Your apology right now is only because you were caught. If you weren't caught, you would continue and become even more outrageous until you caused substantial harm to the girls. That's why I will never let you off!"
Mandy was resolute in her response. Jerry's expression instantly changed.
Jerry raised his hand, ready to confront Mandy. Mike couldn't just stand there watching. He kicked Jerry in the butt, causing Jerry to eat a mouthful of sand. Mandy looked frightened and was protected by the others who were with her.
"Bitch!" Jerry pointed at Mandy. "Clearly, it's you sluts who have no self-respect, seducing me by dressing provocatively. I only took a couple of pictures, and you want to ruin my life. You evil woman, you will pay for this, and I will not let you off the hook!"
After he finished speaking, Jerry seemed to be afraid of Mike making a move. Jerry held his sore lower back and quickly got up and ran away. He needed to find his public relations team and come up with a plan to save himself.
Jerry originally thought that coming to this island would gain him more fans in view of the popularity of President Solomon's wife, Fiona. But to his surprise, he didn't gain many. Now, his career was facing an unprecedented crisis!
Mandy looked scared. Burl still looked annoyed. He glanced at the remaining seven or eight people and asked, "What are you all doing here? Don't you know my sister was injured by those rioters and needs rest?"
Mandy looked at Burl, "Although I appreciate your help, we came here to defend and protect the precious coral. Even if you drive away the islanders, it won't shake our determination." "
