Reclaiming Her Heart
Chapter 575 We Want Justice

Then Selena found out that the Eternal Growth Group had major quality issues in the coastal area, with structural beams breaking. Over a hundred homeowners are demanding refunds. However, at that time, the internet was not very developed, and this news was suppressed. Now, after ten years, no one pays attention to the current situation of these over a hundred homeowners.

Selena only found out that these people dared not live in the dangerous building with broken beams, but the developer refused to refund them. The Eternal Growth Group was no different from bandits.

Selena quickly flew to the coast and found the community. From other buildings in the community, she learned the contact information of over a hundred homeowners.

For ten years, they never gave up on their rights.

At that time, there was a homeowner who had planned to use the house as a wedding home, with money contributed by both the couple. However, since the house was uninhabitable and the money was lost, the husband couldn't help but blame his new wife. As a result, the wife jumped from the top floor of the dangerous building and fell to her death in front of him.

Apart from a few elderly residents who lived alone and passed away due to this incident, the other homeowners are still fighting in court.

But after ten years, the ripples they caused were too small, coupled with the power and influence of the Eternal Growth Group, and all their channels of expression were completely blocked.

Selena looked at the eighty-something people in front of her, explained her intentions, paid for everyone's plane tickets to Silver Bay City, and covered all expenses.

However, a middle-aged man stood up and said, "Ms. Penny, it's useless. The Eternal Growth Group has bribed some people, treating all our information as belonging to the low-credit population. We can't take the train, plane, or even drive to Silver Bay City without being intercepted."

Selena narrowed her eyes and then called Cassius.

After explaining the situation to Cassius, he coughed on the other end.

When Cassius was in that position, he was well-known. He had never heard of such an outrageous thing. Cassius personally called the city's officials.

In less than two hours, this group of people found out that they could actually purchase plane tickets.

The eighty-something people cheered, tears welling up in their eyes. Some even broke down and cried on the spot.

Selena took a deep breath, her gaze stern as she looked at everyone.

"I'm here to help you, but I have my own motives. Once you get there, I'll arrange everything for you, but I ask for only one thing in return. I won't allow you to be purchased by them. You need to make this issue as big as possible and make it known to the whole world."

The mention of the Eternal Growth Group instantly fueled anger among the group.

"The Eternal Growth Group is our enemy! We swear to God, we will not believe a word they say!"

"We're going straight to court! We're going to sue him!"

"We won't back down. We've been waiting for this moment for ten years!"

The crowd yelled in anger.

Only then did Selena lead the group to Silver Bay City.

Even the lawyers she hired were the most professional and authoritative team in Silver Bay City.

On the day before the Eternal Growth Group was supposed to sign the contract, this group of people arrived at the company's headquarters with banners.

Journalists who caught wind of the situation rushed over.

These homeowners were no longer young, with even the youngest being in their thirties.

When the eighty-something people gathered together, the impact was significant.

Television stations immediately reported on the incident, which, coupled with the group's experiences, sparked public outrage.

According to existing laws, if serious structural issues arise before the handover of a house, the developer must refund the money. However, the Eternal Growth Group did not refund the money back then and even used their influence to label all homeowners as low-credit individuals.

Throughout the course of their lives, who isn't striving for a home?

The Eternal Growth Group took their money, blocked their voices, it was simply outrageous.

The leader of this group was a cultured individual, holding a megaphone, condemning the absurdity of the Eternal Growth Group over the past decade.

"We want fairness, we want to reclaim our rights. From over a hundred people initially, we are now down to eighty-something, all because of the Eternal Growth Group's banditry. Some have lost parents, some have lost wives."

"The Eternal Growth Group has always been high and mighty. Do they lack these tens of millions of dollars? No, they don't! They simply don't want to give it. They look down on us because we are just ordinary people, unable to stir up any waves! If we ordinary people remain silent, will you not encounter the same in the future?"

The Eternal Growth Group was already in a panic due to this group's arrival.

They were about to sign the contract the next day, but now the situation had escalated.

Online public opinion immediately turned against the Eternal Growth Group, to the extent that they didn't even dare to open their official comments section.

The company's stock price plummeted by half, and it was estimated to have lost at least six billion dollars in market value.

Selena had been monitoring the Eternal Growth Group's stock, and as she saw it plummet, a cold smile crossed her face.

The entire Stone family was now entangled in a web, everyone at a loss. With such a huge public outcry, if they didn't handle it well, the stock could hit the limit down.

At this critical juncture, the company that was supposed to sign a financing deal with them backed out, even scolding the Stone family.

Olivia paced anxiously, yelling at the elders.

"It's just tens of millions; what are you being greedy for? Now that things have escalated so much, how are we going to end this!"

However, a few tens of millions ten years ago were no small amount.

All eyes turned to Olivia.

"Olivia, those people were all on the low-credit list, but they quietly made their way to Silver Bay City this time. There must be someone who helped them."

"The most important issue now is how to handle this matter. If we delay any longer, the Stone family could really go bankrupt!"

"Olivia, you should go replace Raymond. Get him to rescue the Stone family. They still hold power. Raymond's got both the wealth and the authority. If he decides to lend us a hand, the Stone family will eventually be alright." Olivia took a deep breath, clenching her fists tightly.

"Have someone go talk to those people first, compensate them three times the original house price as agreed back then. Otherwise, if more journalists interview them, our reputation will be completely ruined. I'll go to Raymond. There's bound to be someone from the upper echelons of the Eternal Growth Group who'll end up carrying the can. But I'll have Raymond pull some strings to ease the sentencing. Then, just paying a penalty should do the trick." Olivia grabbed her bag and immediately went to replace Raymond.
