Chapter 1300:
Harlee continued, âConsidering the hardships youâve all faced, I will compensate each of you handsomely. Additionally, those who decide to leave will receive an extra payment.â
Whispers spread through the crowd at Harleeâs words, and she waited patiently for a response.
Rhys fetched a small wooden stool from the house and guided Harlee to sit. âItâs tiring to stand. You might as well sit while you speak.â
Harlee wanted to refuse, but since he had already seated her, she didnât object.
Just then, a middle-aged man with a broken leg stood up. âI wish to leave.â
âOkay.â Harlee gave a slight nod and then turned to Robbie. âPlease take down his name. He can visit the accounting department later for his payment.â
âUnderstood!â
Immediately, several others in the crowd expressed their desire to leave. Robbie noted their names in a separate line.
After waiting for a few more moments, Harlee asked, âIs that everyone else who wants to leave? What about the rest of you? Are you certain you wish to stay?â
Dario was quick to respond, âHarlee, Iâd like to stay. It was the Clifford family who caused the trouble, not the island. Iâm fond of this place and want to remain.â

Following his statement, the rest of the group also expressed their wish to stay.
âAlright, since everyone wants to stay, I will now announce the second thing.â Harlee paused briefly, took out her phone, and opened a document that she had downloaded from her computer. âI plan to start a Moonlight Enterprise right here on the island. This business will mainly operate a farmhouse restaurant, and you all will be its first employees.â
The announcement sparked immediate commotion among the crowd. Could they really work for a company? Despite their limited education, could they manage?
Harlee observed the crowd, her attention turning to those who had initially chosen to leave but now appeared to regret their decision. âEach of you made your own choice. Opting to leave isnât necessarily worse than choosing to stay.â
She was comforting them, yet also making it clear that she wouldnât entertain any changes of heart.
These individuals were straightforward and sincere. Their desire to leave stemmed partly from the lure of money and lingering fears from past abuses by the Clifford family. Harleeâs words stirred feelings of embarrassment in them. Their deep tans hid any blush that might have shown.
Harlee added, âI will assign job roles based on what youâre capable of. Cleaner or manager, it is up to your skills.â
Cheers erupted from the group. âThank you, Miss Sanderson! Youâve really done so much for us!â Most of the islanders were either orphans or had faced mistreatment in their families. This opportunity was a great fortune for them.
Harlee faced the enthusiastic crowd and continued, âDo you see the large group of people behind me? They will be living here on the island with you, ensuring that incidents like those caused by the Clifford family wonât happen again.â
Her reassurance excited the crowd. Their biggest concern had been security. Without protection, they felt vulnerable. Now, with these formidable security personnel on their side, who would dare to disturb the peace of the island?
âThank you, Miss Sanderson!â
âWe wonât fear anything now!â
