Zora's hand froze in mid-air.
"Alan..." She looked very depressed.
Alan turned pale apologetically. "Give me some more time."
"Hmm, I won't push you. We have a lifetime. I'll wait for you to get better." Zora smiled gently.
Alan smiled back.
The headache was quite severe.
He took another look at the position where Logan installed the surveillance camera. "It might be a surveillance device."
"Surveillance?" Zora stared in shock. "Are they going to monitor the Coral Sea?"
"I suppose so," Alan answered, "But it doesn't matter. I can confirm that the corals are endangered. When more authoritative experts arrive and identify it, I have a way to stop them from starting work on the island."
Zora lowered her eyes. "But that woman said even if they don't start work, they will drive us out!"
The ownership was in their hands.
Zora knew Athena was capable of driving them out!
"I'll find a way. You and Bertha don't need to worry," Alan spoke softly.
Of course, Zora was worried because Athena seemed tough.
But Alan had a headache. She didn't want him to think anymore, so she nodded gently.
Just then, someone downstairs called Zora.
It sounded urgent.
Zora looked at Alan.
Alan nodded at her. "Go ahead. I'll be fine soon."
"Hmm!"
Zora ran downstairs in a hurry.
"You have no idea what will happen if you stay!" Seth said angrily.
Zora was rarely scolded by Seth.
She lost her temper too. "Then tell me, what will happen? Seth, I used to believe in you and think you could definitely find a way to save Dad's hotel, but you've been messing around. Besides..."
Zora instinctively looked back.
She didn't finish her sentence.
"Anyway, I don't believe you anymore. I'll protect this island and Dad's hotel on my own!" she continued.
"Is your solution to poison the corals?" Seth asked in a low voice.
Zora was surprised. "How do you know?"
"You asked my friend to buy fungal powder for you. Did you think he wouldn't tell me?" Seth pointed at the surveillance camera and continued, "Did you see that? Do you think the wife of the president of Imbe Group is easy to deal with? She supports such a large group on her own. She's not someone you can handle!"

The readers' comments on the novel: My Mommy Became A Billionaire After the Breakup
I am at Chapter 550 and there are almost 2 stories in 1. Aron and Evie's story could very well have been made into another story. Such a waste of time because I am reading for Byron and Athena, not Evie and Aron...
Is there no new updates after this one?...
