The Secret Heir's Return to Wealth and Love novel Chapter 1404

His head was pounding something fierce.

He glanced again at the spot where Jaime had set up the surveillance gear. "Looks like some sort of spying gadget."

"Surveillance?" Zenobia's face dropped. "Are they planning to keep an eye on the sea?"

"Could be," Alan replied. "But not to worry. I'm pretty sure that coral is a rare species. Once the experts come and confirm it, I can stop them from doing any work on the island."

Zenobia looked down. "But that woman said they're going to kick us out regardless!"

The property was in their hands. Zenobia knew they had the right to send them packing!

"I'll figure something out," Alan said calmly. "Don't worry."

Of course, Zenobia was worried. That woman seemed like a tough cookie.

But seeing Alan in pain, she didn't want him to overthink. So, she nodded gently.

Just then, someone downstairs called for Zenobia. He seemed quite flustered.

Zenobia looked at Alan, who nodded at her. "Go check it out. I just need to rest a bit."

"Okay!"

Zenobia rushed downstairs. A handsome guy in a white tee was there.

"Osborn Quinlan, what's the rush?" Zenobia asked seriously.

Osborn glanced inside, like he was worried someone might hear something. He grabbed Zenobia and started to hustle towards the beach.

Zenobia was rarely scolded by her brother.

She was angry too. "Then tell me, what will happen?! Osborn, I used to trust you. I thought you could save dad's inn. But after your rounds..."

Zenobia instinctively looked back and swallowed the rest of her sentence.

"Anyway, I'm not going to trust your words anymore. I'll protect this island and dad's inn myself!"

"Your plan is to poison the corals?" Osborn asked quietly.

Zenobia was taken aback. "How do you know?"

"You had my friend buy that fungus powder for you. Did you think he wouldn't tell me?" Osborn said, pointing to the running surveillance gear. "Did you see that? Do you think the CEO's wife of Bane Corporation is a good person? She's running a huge corporation all by herself. She's not someone you can easily deal with!"
