Chapter 155

Ethan Roscente strode through the rain with steady steps, coming to stand beside Vivian Laurent.

His towering figure cast a shadow over her, yet their presence together felt unexpectedly harmonious.

"As guarantor of Triple Six Realty, I have a statement to make."

Ethan's voice cut through the downpour, reaching every ear with crystal clarity.

He turned slightly, standing shoulder-to-shoulder with Vivian.

"Ethan Roscente, CEO of Roscente Group. I assume you're all familiar with our corporation. I hereby guarantee Triple Six Realty will fulfill all obligations."

His sharp gaze swept across the crowd.

"Any homeowners requesting refunds may come directly to me. Roscente Group will honor full contract reimbursements."

Silence fell instantly over the scene.

Whispers began circulating through the crowd.

"The Roscente CEO is personally involved?"

"What's their relationship?"

The restless mob gradually settled.

Someone murmured, "With Roscente backing the project, why worry about unfinished buildings?"

Reporters raised their cameras but hesitated to act.

One bold journalist pushed forward.

"Mr. Roscente, what's the nature of your relationship with Triple Six Realty?"

A faint smile touched Ethan's lips.

"Strategic partners. I have complete faith in Ms. Laurent's capabilities."

He paused, his tone turning resolute.

"Roscente assumes full responsibility for any project issues."

As the rain lightened, tension thickened in the air.

"Now, does anyone still want a refund?"

Ethan's voice carried undeniable authority.

The crowd began dispersing.

"We trust Mr. Roscente!"

"Let's go home and wait for updates."

Homeowners gradually left.

Several suspicious figures tried slipping away unnoticed.

"Stop."

At Ethan's command, bodyguards immediately blocked their path.

"Y-yes, Mr. Roscente?"

One man stammered nervously.

Ethan's smile turned icy.

"You wanted refunds? Present your purchase contracts."

The men paled.

"We...we've changed our minds..."

"No contracts?"

Ethan's eyes turned piercing.

"Inciting riots carries legal consequences."

He stepped closer.

"Shall I have someone investigate your backgrounds?"
