Chapter 1435
Viola hustled downstairs.
She caught someone complaining loudly: “Because of your instigation, we’ve indirectly lost so much, and now you
want to bail, that’s just not on!”
Osborn grabbed the irate Zenobia, “I’ve told you, staying to fight against Bane Corporation is everyone’s choice!”
“Bullshit!” An irritable guy, pointing at Osborn, yelled at the top of his lungs.
Osborn may not be a match for Rosalynn’s bodyguard, but dealing with these islanders was still a piece of cake.
“So what do you want?” Viola descended the stairs, her tone much more assertive than usual.

months.
But now everyone was going their own way, not many people cared about reputation anymore.
“How much do you want? Viola asked.
“We’re not going to be unreasonable, 50 thousand dollars per family. We know you got more compensation than us,
you can totally afford it, so stop playing poor. We’re not haggling here!”
“50 grand? How dare you ask for so much money?” Zenobia lost her cool and started yelling at them.
“Zenobia, we haven’t even started with you. Your fiancé’s bright idea attracted all these influencers and volunteers,
even got that female CEO over here, almost got us in hot water with her!”
“And yeah, the stone that hit the CEO yesterday, I saw it, it was you who kicked it!” A woman, who came with her
husband, said viciously, “If it wasn’t for your father’s sake, I would’ve exposed you last night!”
“What are you blabbering about!” Osborn retorted angrily.
“She saw it, either cough up the money or we all go to the CEO and rat out Zenobia!” The leading man immediately
started to make a fuss.
The others echoed him at once.
Viola looked livid, “All of you, when my husband was alive, who didn’t benefit from him? If you have a shred of
conscience, you wouldn’t frame my daughter for money!”
“Viola, I’m not framing her, I really saw it!” The woman insisted, “I’m sure she did it on purpose. She only kicked the
stone after she saw the CEO holding Pearl. You didn’t see her face then, as if she wished the CEO would drop dead!”
“Mom, I didn’t, she’s framing me!” Zenobia rebutted immediately, “She’s just trying to squeeze money out of us!!”

“Hmph!” The woman said angrily, “I didn’t expect you to be this kind of person. You dare to do it but not own up to
it, today I don’t want the fifty grand anymore, I’m going to tell the CEO everything!”
The woman was very determined, after saying this she made to leave.
“You can’t just give up on the fifty grand!” Her husband hurriedly tried to stop her.
“I’m not going to let her off the hook!” The woman protested loudly.
Viola glanced at her daughter.
Her own flesh and blood, raised by her, one look and Viola could see through her.
“Enough!”
Viola reprimanded coldly, the bickering couple immediately quieted down.
“Leave your bank details, Osborn, give them the money!”
