NovelEnglishChapter 1254: "Mr. Welch, do you have a comment on the allegations that your company has driven someone to their death?" Healy had anticipated sresistance, but nothing like this. His gaze flicked to the photographs clutched by the enraged residents. The man in them was unmistakable-the first one who had agreed to sign the contract the day before.
But in these photos, the man was no longer standing. His eyes were shut forever, his limbs twisted unnaturally as he lay sprawled on the pavement, a pool of blood beneath him. The photos clearly showed that he had committed suicide by jumping off the roof. Beside his body, in bold, red paint, were the words: "WE WILL NOT MOVE." A heavy weight settled in Healy's chest. He hadn't expected things to spiral into this kind of disaster. He attempted to address the crowd, to calm them down, but his words were drowned out by their outrage.

"The development project is too important to delay for long. With Welch Group out of the way, the government will need a replacement-before public anger shifts to them. Lilian is already working with Homelight Enterprise. I'll have her bring Jared into this. If he joins the project, Homelight Enterprise and the Perkins family will be seen as one entity. That kind of backing will make it impossible for the government to ignore us." "Understood, sir. I'll contact Miss Perkins now." In Ansport, Lilian had meticulously prepared a proposal for the Fisherman's Cove project. With a confident stride, she carried it into Jared's office and placed it squarely on his desk.
