Chapter 733
Just when Catelyn was about to step through the building entrance, a woman in ragged clothing darted out from an alley.
"You heartless enterprises! My daughter died from cancer because she lived in one of your formaldehyde-packed apartments, and you're now selling houses again with no guarantee that they're safe! Profiteers! I'll kill you..." she cursed while taking rotten eggs from her bag to throw at Catelyn.
The reporters instantly scattered to snap photos of Catelyn and the woman.
The scene of the victim throwing rotten eggs at a director of VSA Group would surely make the headlines!
The eggs were tossed into the air and darted toward Catelyn, so she instinctively covered her face with her arms.
Thunk!
The appalling scent of rotten eggs filled the air, but Catelyn did not feel anything on her arm. she opened her eyes slightly, only to find a towering figure standing before her.
Cedrick had run out and shielded Catelyn with both his arms open protectively, so the rotten eggs ended up landing on his jacket instead.
The reporters gaped at the sight and continued to snap photos of the man who came unannounced, all the while thinking to themselves, 'Who is this? The hero is here to save the damsel in distress? He's very good-looking!'
The woman stilled, apparently not expecting someone to shield Catelyn from the eggs, she immediately took out more rotten eggs and continued to throw them at Catelyn and Cedrick.
Just then, the security guards hurried over and were stunned at the chaos and the disgusting scent.
Cedrick continued to shield Catelyn and moved swiftly to dodge the eggs.
"What are you doing standing there? stop that woman!" Cedrick took off his stinking jacket and commanded coldly. His overwhelming presence intimidated everyone at the scene.
The woman, too, twitched in fear.
The leader of the security team sobered up and commanded his men to approach the middle-aged woman.
The woman instantly started hopping away while screaming," Don't come any closer! Don't come any closer... You people killed my daughter, and now you want to kill me too?!"
The guards did not waver and attempted to restrain the woman. Before the guards could even touch her, she fell to the ground and started wailing at the top of her lungs, "They're murdering people now! Make sure you all take photos of this! Not only are these people in VSA Group selling problematic houses, but they're now killing the victims too!"
