NovelUSAChapter 447 A group of people charged at Citrine, their aggression unmistakable-they weren't here for an explanation. They were here to cause trouble.
Citrine wasn't naive; she could see right through their intentions. This was clearly aimed at her.
So, there really wasn't anything wrong with the company's products after all.
Just as one of them lunged toward her, Citrine was about to defend herself when a large hand intervened, stopping the attacker cold. In the next instant, Citrine was pulled behind someone's broad back.

Raymond's face was thunderous as he glared at the group. He snapped, "Are you blind? Can't you see there's someone here?" The thought of what might have happened if he hadn't arrived in tmade Raymond's blood run cold. Furious, he pointed a trembling finger at the mob. "Listen to me. If anything happens to my daughter, if you so much as lay a finger on her, I swear-none of your families will walk away from this unscathed." Without waiting for a response, Raymond grabbed Citrine's hand and guided her around the crowd, straight into the CICI Group building.
Once inside, Citrine was the first to break the silence. "What are you doing here?" "I saw what was happening online. If I hadn't come, who knows what those people would've done to you!" Raymond's frustration was obvious.
Most daughters would run to their families for help at the first sign of trouble, but not his. Citrine always tried to shoulder everything herself, never asking for help. If he hadn't stumbled across the news on Instagram, he would have remained blissfully unaware.
It was the swith that whole Glenwood family fiasco, when they tried to use his daughter as a blood donor. He'd only heard about it through the grapevine, not from Citrine herself.
Citrine had still been preoccupied with the company's crisis, but Raymond's words made her snort with laughter. "Relax, there's no way I'd get trampled like that." Honestly, if Raymond hadn't shown up, she'd been ready to handle those people herself.
She could deal with problems on her own, but in that split second when someone stepped in to protect her, Citrine found she actually liked the feeling.
Raymond let out a helpless sigh as Citrine kept smiling, ruffling her hair with gentle affection. "Sweetheart next tsomething like this happens, tell your dad. Don't try to shoulder it all alone. I know you're capable, but sometimes you can lean on me, too. I may not be able to fix everything, but when it comes to protecting you, no one is more determined than I am." It wasn't the first tRaymond had declared his love for her, but every tCitrine heard it, she was moved. People who have never truly been loved always yearn for it. Citrine was no exception.
She had to admit, she liked how open Raymond was about his feelings. It made it easier to believe she was truly cherished by her family.
Looking up at him, she gave a rare, sincere promise. "Okay. Next time, I'll cto you." Raymond blinked in surprise. Usually, when he said anything like this, Citrine would just brush him off.

Ever since their last heart-to-heart, Citrine really had been trying to open up to him. Raymond could feel their bond growing, little by little. Thinking back on what had just happened, Raymond's tone greet
serious. "By the way, what was with those people outside? looked like e they targeted you on purpose." Citrine glanced at him, correcting him gently. "Not 'looked like.' They definitely were." Before Raymond could respond, Carlotta hurried over.
She nodded politely to Raymond, then turned to Citrine. "Chairwoman, the negative press about our ་་ products is everywhere-bad reviews, warnings, you nit. What should we do now?"
