A Replacement Bride

Chapter 401 Dragging Gray Corporation Down

Emmanuel was shocked. He shot up and ran to the French window, seeing a big crowd gathered at the entrance of the building. He was too high up to hear what they were shouting about, but he could see the fury on their faces. Some were looking like they would attack. He frowned and ordered, "Quick! Call the guards! They mustn't let these people in!"

The assistant said, "Already relayed the order. The guards are stopping them by the entrance, but they're outnumbered, and the protesters are agitated. They can't calm those people down. If we aren't paying, they aren't leaving."

Emmanuel flew into a rage. "It's not like we're trying to delay their payment! Where's the foreman? Can't you contact him?"

But we owe these people a huge sum of money. We don't even have any cash to pay them at the moment. He gritted his teeth and commanded, "Chase them away however you can! I don't care what you have to do. The nerve of them to protest right in front of the company! This is such an embarrassment! Also, send someone to hunt that contractor down! I want you to find him, no matter where he's hiding."

idea how to even settle that matter. "Sir, even if we can chase these people away and find the contractor, it'd still be useless. The fact that he swindles our money away means he's not going to pay us back. And these people signed on with us, not the contractor. He's just a bridge between
