Inherit Billions

Chapter 475 Protest Rally!

Not long after worrying about Sarah and Justin's relationship, Seraphina received a phone call from Joseph.

There was trouble in Eldoria Bay.

Some employees of Griflin Corporation, along with contract workers who hadn't signed labor agreements, were dissatisfied with the compensation offered by Cross Group and had resorted to protesting! Without wasting a moment, she rushed over to Griffin Corporation.

Upon seeing the crowd of protesters gathered at the entrance, her head felt dizzy with the impending trouble. Seraphina's expression darkened.

The situation was far worse than Joseph had described.

Bodyguards hired by Joseph surrounded the building, ready to step in and prevent any violence.

Nearby, police cars and ambulances stood by, prepared for any potential conflict.

Taking a deep breath, Seraphina remained seated in her car, hesitant to get out.

Thomas made a call to summon Joseph outside.

Ten minutes later, Joseph emerged in casual attire, wearing a mask to avoid being recognized.

"Ms. Cross," he said, feeling utterly useless as he failed to handle the situation.

Now, this young woman had to step in to clean up his mess.

Seraphina nodded, her voice calm.

"You don't need to blame yourself; both I and the company understand the current situation."

Joseph felt a wave of gratitude wash over him as he quickly replied, "It was all under control until Blake stirred things up. He incited a few loyalists to create a ruckus, insisting that they receive the same compensation as the full-time employees. That's impossible for us to agree!"

Seraphina pursed her lips; her tone turned cold. "Didn't you talk with them?"

"When they heard they could get more money, they jumped at the chance to cause trouble for a better deal. What's there to discuss? We already offer generous compensation; they're

just being greedy!"

Seraphina pressed on. "In a few days, we have the project unveiling ceremony to promote it and clear any negative perceptions. We will be inviting a large number of reporters and media to the event. No matter how justified we are, we won't be able to defend ourselves in the media if today's issue remains unresolved.

The advantage they had once held would quickly slip away.

Reputation was vital, and they could not afford to be careless.

After a moment of contemplation, she spoke resolutely.

"Thomas, prepare one million in cash."

Thomas stared at her in shock; even Joseph was surprised.

Does it mean she would pay them?

"Ms. Cross, no matter how much you give, they won't be satisfied. Once we start that, everyone will come to suck us dry," Thomas warned.

Seraphina smiled, glancing at the crowd outside

She said, "I have a plan."

Thomas obediently followed Seraphina's order.

He didn't even need to handle it himself; he simply called the bank to arrange for one million in cash to be delivered.

Shortly after, Seraphina exited the car with Joseph and Thomas quickly following.

The moment she showed up, the crowd began to stir.

"That woman is rich! She's the heiress of Cross Group. It's her family that bought the company and left us unemployed; we should demand money from her!" someone shouted.

"She's got money; let's get it from her!" Another voice chimed in.

"Yeah! Why do those people get so much while we're left with nothing?"

The crowd surged forward, their eyes fixed on Seraphina with predatory intensity, eager to suck her dry.

Thomas previously had a bad experience with Eldoria Bay. He dared not leave Seraphina's side, fearing an unexpected turn of events.

Seraphina's expression remained calm. She was stunning even in the face of such chaos and exuded a confidence that few could match.

Picking up a megaphone from the ground, she tossed the cash she had brought onto the ground, ripping open the bag and letting the money spill out. The crowd fell silent.

"Listen," Seraphina began, her voice cold and commanding. "I am neither Blake nor Seth; I have never promised you anything. You collect unemployment benefits from the government while coming here to loaf around. I have paid you every cent that Griffin Corporation owed you that was accounted for. I have more conscience than they do!"

Her voice echoed with chilling authority. Her voice momentarily stunned the people present into silence.

Yet, amidst the quiet, some restless voices rose again.

"The wages are rightfully ours! You bought the company, so you should pay us. We demand the same compensation as those permanent employees. We all work in the same place; why should we accept different treatment?"

"Exactly! Why should it be different?" Another voice added.

"You're a huge corporation; you clearly have the money but refuse to pay us!" erupted from the crowd.

"You're all a bunch of blood suckers!"
