novelxo Chapter 66
Bailey’s subordinates followed closely behind them. Once inside, Xyla led the group over to stand in the middle of the lounge.
At that moment, the property owners immediately crowded over, surrounding them to the point where it was almost suffocating.
The security guards stood guard around them with much difficulty, trying to keep them safe. Yet, the crowd was making it hard for
them to stand firm.
“I don’t want to house anymore! Refund me this instant!”
“Refund! Refund! Refund us now!”
The property owners were yelling loudly, one more agitated than the other. The scene was chaotic, but Xyla remained calm as
she stood there.
After sweeping a glance around, Xyla raised a finger to her lips, making a shushing gesture. She yelled loudly, “Please be quiet
for a moment. I hope everyone can listen to a few words of mine.”
In an instant, the noisy crowd gradually fell silent
Xyla looked at the crowd firmly and said, “Everyone, please hear me out. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with our building.
Those rumors online were posted by someone trying to defame us.”
“During the construction of our building, we have representatives from the quality control department come over regularly for
inspection, and there was no such thing as cutting corners in our work. Standing beside me now is the director of the quality
control department, Director Lawson. If you don’t believe me, you can ask Director Lawson if I’m telling the truth.”
Having said that, Xyla’s gentle gaze fell on Bailey. Bailey nodded immediately. He turned to look gravely at the crowd and spoke
seriously.
“Hello, everyone. Allow me to introduce myself. I’m the director of Atlantis City’s quality control department. With my character, I
can guarantee you that there’s absolutely nothing wrong with this building.”
“It’s like Miss Quest has said, during the construction of this building, our quality control department would regularly come over
for inspection.”
“The results of each inspection are in line with our standards. Just a few days ago, our people also came to inspect it again. The
result was satisfying, as well. This is the report from each of our inspections. If you won’t believe it, you can take a look for
yourself.”
“The discussions spreading over the internet now are all just rumors. Someone is just trying to deliberately cause defamation. I
hope all of you will not be affected by these rumors and end up missing out on a great property.”
As he spoke, Bailey swiftly took a black file folder from his subordinate and opened it, flipping the inspection reports page by
page for everyone to see.
“If you still won’t believe us, please follow me to the construction site, and we’ll perform the inspection right in front of you.”
Bailey’s words carried weight.
“We’re not going to believe your nonsense. It’s clear that Quest Group has bought you over with money to calm the people down
now that things have been exposed,” a blonde young woman standing in the front row yelled out.
“Collusion between officials and businessmen has always been a norm since ancient times. Do we look like children to you?”
The blonde woman added.
“We won’t look at it. We just want a refund now. No matter if the property is good or bad, we don’t want it anymore.”
“Yeah, we don’t want it anymore. We don’t have faith in the quality of your buildings now. Whatever anyone says is futile. Refund
us right now!”
The others immediately started echoing.
The scene was chaotic. No one wanted to continue listening. Everyone was yelling for a refund, and they all looked
tremendously furious.
Xyla had predicted such a possible outcome but this was far worse than what she had imagined.
