Female Novel
Chapter 70
"Demolish? If that’s the case, shouldn't we get a bit of compensation?"
Fane was distracted for a moment, then followed Selena into the house.
At that moment, the living room was very lively. There were a number of workers that were talking to
Fiona and Andrew.
"Oh my, Selena, what happened to both of you? Why are you covered in dirt?"
Seeing Selena and Fane, Joan was shocked, asking quickly.
"Ugh, we passed by a puddle earlier and a car did not slow down...so we got splashed!"
Selena stuttered with a frown. She was too ashamed t o say it. If her mother knew that they offended
the terrible Hugo family, how would she react?
"Oh my, so this is Miss Taylor!"
A middle-aged man stood up cheerfully, then explained, "I'm the worker in charge. It’s like this. This
location is being expropriated as it is rather peaceful here. We're planning to build a retirement home,
therefore this house must be demolished!" "Retirement home?"
Selena frowned.
"That’s right. You can treat it as a contribution to the country! Moreover, this place is decrepit. Our
experts appraised it and it’s considered unsafe for habitation. You have three days to move out. Please
cooperate with our work!"
The man explained with a cheerful smile. His smile looked warm and gentle.
"Unsafe for habitation? How can that be?"
Selena breathed in deeply. They had no money to buy a house at this time. If they moved out, where
would they stay? 1
Moreover, although the house was quite old and run down, it was not unsafe for habitation. It would still
be safe for a couple more years.
Furthermore, they were already accustomed to the large courtyard and had thought of this place as
home. Having to move out all of a sudden was quite difficult to take in.
"That’s right. Our experts have already done the appraisal!"
The man smiled. "Furthemore, this would also beautify our city, wouldn't it? With such an old courtyard
here, it wouldn't look nice either. Now that our country has won the war, quite a few powerful figures are
coming back from the battlefield. If they saw this, it might make them look bad, right?"
"No problem, no problem. We'll definitely move out in three days, We're citizens after all. It’s only fair tonovelbin
contribute." Fiona immediately agreed with a smile.
"Mm, wonderful. You have a good mindset!” The other old man nodded approvingly.
"Hehe, as it should be!"
Fiona chuckled, then stated, "As for the matter of compensation, you see, this place is quite good. With
such a large area, if not a hundred million bucks, it should be at least a few tens of million bucks, right?
If that won’t do, ten million bucks would suffice! That way we can buy a house!"
"That’s right. As long as the price is suitable, we can even move out immediately!"
Andrew nodded along as well.
To their surprise, upon hearing those words, the worker’s face turned cold immediately.
"Madam, I’m afraid you didn’t understand what I said. Your place is affecting our city's image. You
should be contributing to the country!"
