Chapter 770
As soon as his voice fell, the villagers chimed in and echoed their agreements.
“Yeah! You have to pay us today.”
“Pay us our money!” the villagers shouted in unison.
In fact, their patience had reached its limit. They had to humble themselves each time they asked for wages. When Malorie was delighted, they would be given a month‘s salary
she was in a bad mood, she would use all kinds of excuses to delay their salary payment.
Sad to say, they actually believed everything Malorie said each time, and so they had not been paid for a long time.
If it weren‘t for the free meals provided, half of them would have starved to death a long time ago. They thought the Southalls ran out of money. But the fact was that they
just refused to pay them even though they had money. To their disappointment, they didn‘t expect that they had been toyed by the Southalls all this while.

A vein twitched on Henrick‘s forehead.
“You want to make me pay today?” Have you all lost your mind?”
Malorie had been owing them the pay for so many
years. If he had to return the money to them, the figure
would be huge. Just the thought of it was enough to make him feel the pinch.
Fixing his icy gaze on Henrick, Teddy asked, “That‘s right. You have to pay us now and not a penny less! Or else…”
“Or else what…” Henrick was determined not to pay them a single penny. He raised his chin and looked at them provocatively. “Are you going to kill me if I refuse to pay? My mo
With that, the crowd fell silent and looked at him in disbelief.
Unexpectedly, Malorie‘s son was as shameless and stingy as she was—like mother, like son.
Nigel nodded and determinedly replied, “Okay! So you aren‘t going to pay, right?”

“Yes!” “Everyone!” Teddy then turned around and called out to
the villagers. “We are going to empty his house today. Whatever that we can move out, it will be taken as our pay.”
“Right! Empty their house!”
Before Henrick could react, the crowd charged forward all at once.
The crowd then pushed him, and he stumbled. Luckily, the bodyguard supported him. Otherwise, he would have fallen flat to the ground.
After regaining his footing, he found that the villagers already rushed into his house.
He had brought over all those valuable items from Jadeborough, including the priceless antiques left by Maureen. Any of those could cost up to millions. There was no way he
would let them move those things out of his house.
“Quick! Stop them! Stop them right now! What‘re you all standing here for? Go stop them now!” Henrick shouted furiously.
For a moment, the bodyguards hesitated. After all, there were too many of them.
“Mr. Southall…” “Don‘t you expect a payment from me if you all don‘t stop them!”
With that, the bodyguards immediately rushed up to the villagers.

“Stay where you are, or we will use force!” one of the bodyguards warned.
“Beat them up!” Nigel bellowed.
Upon hearing his command, the villagers paused in
their actions and turned around to charge at the bodyguards.
Gritting their teeth, the bodyguards fought with the villagers.
Most of the villagers were strong, but they merely used brute force, which was why they both were actually in a dead heat although the
villagers outnumbered the bodyguards.
Just when they remained locked in the stalemate, a group of bodyguards in black appeared out of nowhere and sprinted toward them.
“He still has other men coming here.” Another villager added terrifyingly, “There are a lot of them. It seems that we are unable to resist them any longer.”
Nigel sent a bodyguard flying with a kick. Looking at the bunch of people who were rushing up to them, he gritted his teeth and said, “Let‘s retreat!” However… Wait! I Have Som
