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.
