One Night Surprise

Chapter 487 Blood for Blood

On the way downstairs, Ruby gave Courtney a basic rundown of the situation.

“A dozen or so employees who were fired before are now bringing a bunch of people downstairs to cause trouble. They are holding banners while shouting that Citron Apparel is heartlessly profiteering and treating human life as a child’s play…”

“They are the scum of society and Melrose City. Citron Apparel, I want you to pay me back blood for blood!”

The group of people held banners and wooden signs with different slogans written on them. In front, there was a middle-aged man with a megaphone shouting, “Citron Apparel! I want you to pay me back blood for blood!” The people behind him would follow his chant, creating a formidable atmosphere.

In the meantime, Ruby hid behind Angie as she bit her lips unknowingly due to nervousness.
