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

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

“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.
