“What are you all still standing around for? Hurry up and beg Miss Gray to apologize! I’m telling you, if this incident brings down our company, I will absolutely take you to court. Even if you sell everything you own, you won’t make up for the company’s losses!”
Mr. Smith saw the key to resolving the situation in Lily Gray’s hands. Although he didn’t know how Lily, who was rumored to have lost all her influence, had this ability, he still bowed and nodded towards her with utmost respect.
Mr. Collins and the salespeople had long realized the seriousness of the matter, and they no longer acted arrogantly in the face of the calm and collected Lily, who was seated on the sofa.
“Miss Gray, we were wrong earlier. We couldn’t recognize greatness before our very eyes. Please be generous and don’t lower yourself to our level,” they said as they bowed and apologized before Lily.
“Yes, Miss Gray… we truly realize our mistake. We are all vulgar and insignificant people. We shouldn’t even warrant your anger. Please forgive us this time.”
“Miss Gray…”
Mr. Collins stood among the salespeople, his submissive demeanor nearly bringing him to his knees before Lily.
However, even then, Lily gave no indication of her thoughts.
Seeing Lily’s reaction, Mr. Holbrook and Mr. Cooper immediately understood her intention.
Considering the fact that this matter had come to the attention of a powerful figure, both Mr. Holbrook and Mr. Cooper, who were well-versed in their craft, knew that they couldn’t pass up this opportunity to make a good impression on that person.
“Alright, Miss Gray doesn’t want to hear your nonsense. Hurry up and move aside, don’t block the way here.” Mr. Cooper stepped forward, calling on the mall security who had rushed over, to escort Mr. Collins and the salespeople away.
Mr. Smith wanted to help, but Mr. Holbrook stopped him.
“Mr. Smith, I will personally bring people to collect the store in three days.
You’d better take this time to clear out your inventory. As of this moment, your counter has lost the right to operate in Windstead Square.”
With that said, he glanced at the stupefied Vivian Waiters who had been ignored throughout the entire situation.
Vivian, seeing the CEO of Windstead Square looking at her, quickly flipped her hair and gave him an innocent smile.
However, she didn’t realize that wearing her black evening gown and smiling like that didn’t convey innocence but instead made her look like a little girl who had stolen her mother’s clothes.
She was neither fish nor fowl – utterly devoid of any aesthetic appeal.
Mr. Holbrook’s eyebrows twitched. He had seen his fair share of women who tried to gain his favor, but he had no interest in a subpar specimen like her.
“Mr. Smith, you can’t sell that dress either. As of now, none of the merchandise from your counter is allowed to be sold at Windstead.”
Mr. Holbrook withdrew his gaze from Vivian, only looking at her to confirm the price of the dress.
It appeared to be an expensive dress.
Causing more loss to their opponents would make that influential figure even more satisfied.
Soon, mall security was called to keep watch over Mr. Collins and the salespeople as they cleared out their merchandise. After several unsuccessful attempts to beg for mercy, Mr. Smith angrily left, telling A^r. Collins to “wait for the court summons.”
As for Vivian…
She was forced to take off the beloved dress and had a dispute with Mr. Collins while trying to retrieve her gold card.
Their argument took place not far from Lily, who could vaguely hear Mr. Collins saying, “It was all for you that 1 offended Miss Gray.”
Lily recalled every word and gesture Vivian had made since they met.
At that moment, Lily suddenly realized that she might have been too naive in her understanding of her supposed best friend..
