Chapter 1399
The faces of those who were already wavering showed a slight change after hearing Zenobia’s words.
But it didn’t last long.
Jaime blurted out, flustered, “Lady, why are you crying out of the blue? We’re all here to protect the coral. Aren’t
my questions worth pondering? If you have a good explanation, then by all means, explain. Why are you crying?
You’re not trying to challenge those businessmen with our intent to protect the coral, while not allowing us to raise
valid doubts? Isn’t that a bit too much?”
Jaime’s words were like a loud wake-up call.
Right.
They were here to save the coral, weren’t they? What question couldn’t be asked?
Those who were already wavering, their gaze towards Zenobia was a bit more suspicious.
Jaime took half a step back, warily asked, “Lady, you’re not trying to manipulate us good folk with the coral, are

Zenobia denied immediately, “Stop stirring up trouble!”
Jaime didn’t engage her further.
He turned to the others, “Folks, I think since we’re here to protect the coral, we’d better keep our distance from
anyone on the island who has a conflict of interest with the businessmen. We wouldn’t want our goodwill to be
manipulated. After all, I heard that the president’s wife of Bane Corporation is not only beautiful but also more
capable and cunning than Wayne. If we get used by others and then she targets us, it’ll be too late for regrets. Then
who will protect us?”
Jaime’s words made many people sober up.
“I was online today, and I saw a news report… Bane Corporation offered a hefty compensation to the natives
stranded on the island…” a man hesitated before speaking.
“My family also saw the news. My dad is a lawyer, and he warned us to be cautious, a girl whispered.
“We’re here to protect the coral anyway, as long as the coral is protected, our purpose is achieved. We don’t need
to do anything else!” Jaime seized the opportunity, “I heard someone here injured a vice president of Bane
Corporation?”
The old man who hit someone changed color, That was an accident. Something flew out of my h
hand…”
“Sir, you got it wrong. If they want to hold you accountable afterwards, the legion of lawyers in the corporation can
easily make you admit guilt. And you don’t know if they videotaped it. If they did, it would be even easier to make
you confess. At that time, you’re old and came here to do good and protect the coral, but you might end up in jail
and have to pay fines. That’s a total loss!
Before Jaime came, he had a rough understanding of these protesters.
Honestly, most of them were internet celebrities trying to gain publicity, or some thoughtless extreme
environmentalists.
Overall, they were not rational enough.
Arriving here, influenced by the locals, they believed they were doing the right thing. But no one explained the risks

Human nature is to seek benefits and avoid harm. Now, Jaime’s words made them fully awake.
They remembered how under Zenobia’s guidance, they had been livestreaming actions against Bane Corporation.
When the marine botanist arrived, the staff had already stopped working.
However, Zenobia incited them to firmly drive these businessmen who damaged the environment away.
But looking back now, they didn’t destroy the corals, did they?
Why drive them away?
The old man, after Jaime’s thorough analysis, looked somewhat dazed.
He carefully recalled the situation when they threw mud at Sean.
Oh God, thinking about it, the old man immediately broke out in a cold sweat. The other party was holding a
camera, recording the whole process!
“I didn’t mean it! I just wanted to protect our precious coral. The coral is a treasure of nature, and everyone has a
duty to protect it! The old man defended himself loudly.
Hearing his loud voice, Jaime knew instantly, he must be scared.
