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 nothin

She had thought that after bringing the people from the quality control department here and having everyone hear them out, a portion of people might calm down. However, none of them did. Various high-pitched voices meshed together, and they sounded more piercing than thunder. Xyla immediately made another shushing gesture and shouted, “Everyone, listen to me… Everyone, hear me out, okay?” “What’s there to hear? Refund me now!!!” “That’s right, refund, refund! Stop rambling on!!!” “Refund! Refund! If you don’t refund, we’ll keep protesting!!! Unethical Quest Group, refund us immediately!” No one in the crowd had any intention of listening to Xyla anymore as they continued to yell madly. The situation was out of control, and the shouts were deafening. Xyla felt suffocated by such an atmosphere. She wanted to say more, but no one present was willing to listen. That dull, smothering feeling put her at a loss of what to do. The faces before her were all angry. If eyes

Xyla scanned this person closely. This person was dressed in cheap goods where the extra threads on her clothes were loose. Her blonde hair was dyed messily, and it was obvious that her hair wasn’t done by a professional. In particular, the white sneakers on her feet seemed to be a bit yellowish and were worn for a few years now. She did not at all seem like a person who could afford a property here. If this person was not a homeowner but was here to take the lead in causing a stir, what did that mean? That meant that she was hired by someone to come here and stir up trouble! At this thought, Xyla’s expression immediately turned cold… Being stared at by Xyla made the blonde woman uneasy. She subconsciously took a step back as her eyes darted everywhere. “You… What are you staring at me for? Refund us right now! Do you hear me?” Xyla scoffed. Pushing away from the guard beside her, Xyla closed in on the woman step by step with the microphone in hand. “You want a refund

The crowd was once again influenced. They started standing behind the blonde woman and kept extending their hands to point at Xyla’s face. The crowd was agitated, and their voices rang like giant bells. Everyone kept squeezing toward them. The security guard could barely contain them any longer, and they were starting to panic. The people from the quality control department also felt their heads hurt as they watched. However, Xyla remained composed as a solid mountain and was calm as ever. It was as if she would not waver even if her enemies were at bay. She casually scanned the crowd before holding the microphone to her lips again and saying loudly to everyone, “Please be quiet and let me say a few sentences. You guys can get excited again after that.” The noise died down once again. “Everyone, don’t listen to her rambles anymore. She’s just toying us,” the blonde woman yelled hysterically. “I asked you to show me your agreement, but you said you’ve forgotten to bring

The blonde woman began to hesitate. Should she confess? Can this person be trusted? What if after she confessed, not only was there no money, but they would even hand her to the police instead?Moreover, that person had once told her that they would support her no matter what happened. That person was clearly more reliable and capable. After some thought, she figured she should trust that person instead. Besides, what was there to fear if that person was going to support her? That person had told her not to be afraid no matter what happened. At this thought, she immediately regained her senses. Her body was filled with confidence, and even her back straightened. She started struggling vigorously again. “What money? What do you mean by someone hiring me? Are you mental? Jail? What rights do you have to send me to jail? I should be the one sending you to jail, shouldn’t I? “I came here to buy a house. When something happened to your property, I came here with everyone to ask f

The black-clothed men then split up to stand on either side of the tiny path before lowering their heads respectfully. This magnificent display of authority immediately attracted everyone’s attention. Everyone directed their gaze to the entrance. Soon, Sharon Lindt walked in with her group of wealthy friends who had purchased some houses previously in a grandiose manner. They were a group of fifteen people. Each of them donned internationally branded outfits and limited edition branded handbags. Be it their outfits or their auras; they were extremely eye-catching. Sharon, who was walking in front, was most striking. She wore a light green genuine silk cheongsam paired with a pure white fox fur shawl and black vintage Mary Janes. There was a silver Hermes bag on her arm while exquisite diamond jewelry decorated her body. Covered in jewels, the woman was clearly a standard wealthy lady. Be it her figure or her aura, Sharon could easily captivate the entire scene in an instant

”Harry Wilson is Country Z’s King of Gambles. All the legal casinos in Country Z, no matter the size, more or less belong to him. Their family is also involved in industries like real estate, hotels, and restaurants. They’re no doubt a respectable existence in upper-class society!” “Not to mention Anson Electricals that is the largest electronics company in Country Z. They have branches all over the world, and their products are sold everywhere.” “These people beside them are probably of similar status with them… So many wives of prominent figures have come here. It’s so remarkable!” The crowd was once again in a heated discussion. Xyla already knew this group of people were wealthy, so she was not as shocked. She immediately shifted her gaze back to Sharon, who was standing closest to her. Obviously, this woman had the highest status in the group, so that meant she had a greater identity than the two people the crowd had recognized… “Not only is this group of people reluct

“That’s right, we won’t return it anymore! We’re sorry, Miss Quest. And everyone at the quality control department, we’re really sorry!!!” “Yeah, we’re sorry. We won’t ask for a refund anymore!” The others started expressing that they would not return the units, so they turned to leave with their agreements. The aggressive crowd was like an ocean wave, subsiding quickly. Soon, the world was quiet again. The initially muddled air had become fresher in an instant. “Thank you so much. If it weren’t for you, I would probably have had to continue arguing with those people for a long while,” Xyla said with a bright smile. “You’re too kind. It’s just a simple thing.” Sharon grasped Xyla’s hand tightly again; her tone was extremely warm. “It’s not a simple thing,” said Xyla. “It doesn’t matter what it is. You don’t have to thank me either way. It’s my pleasure to help you because you’re so pretty and lovable!” As she spoke, Sharon’s gaze was fixed onto Xyla’s face. Her eyes wer
