The Secret Heir's Return to Wealth and Love novel Chapter 1445

Zenobia's house was being packed up at lightning speed.

In just one night, everything that needed to be packed was ready to go.

Wayne had changed into a set of black casual clothes, and Zenobia had also helped him put on a baseball cap and a face mask.

"Alan, it might get a bit stuffy. We can take off your mask once we're on the boat," Zenobia told Wayne, her voice involuntarily softening.

"Well," Wayne responded, sounding a bit out of it.

He didn't sleep well the night before. A blurry nightmare had kept him up, and waking up, he felt totally wiped out.

Suddenly, it got really noisy outside.

Zenobia frowned, "Didn't those people already take the money? Why are they back? Wait here, I'll go check what's up."

Wayne didn't respond.

Zenobia hurried downstairs.

She expected to see another argument.

However...

"Zenobia, you're on the island too!" A plump middle-aged woman, dressed to the nines and with a trendy hairstyle, extended her arms when she saw Zenobia, deliberately showing off a huge diamond ring on her hand.

"Are you McGill’s wife? Why are you back?" Zenobia was taken aback.

The McGill family was the first to leave the island for the big city and their business was thriving. Everyone who stayed behind envied them.

Didn't they come asking for money yesterday for the same reason?

Viola, who was busy packing, came out to see what the commotion was about.

After half a year apart, everyone was jubilant, hugging each other.

"Have you decided where you're going to live? Why not come to our place first?" McGill's wife asked Viola enthusiastically, "I heard Zenobia's husband isn't well? There's a great doctor near where I live, I can take you to him, I'm sure he'll get him back on his feet!"

Viola smiled, her eyes downcast, "Sure, I'll definitely look you up."

The crowd grew bigger.

Indeed, the Quinlans' plan to leave the island was delayed.

The neighbors even planned to hold a final island-style celebration ceremony before leaving.

They wanted to express their gratitude to the spirits guarding the land, thanking them for their protection over the years.
