Chapter 142 Immediately, the receptionist received the unexpected slap; she screamed in pain, “What's that for?” Her anger rose but as a worker, trying not to paint the hotel's image bad, she held herself. But she called out to the security guards in pain, “Securites, come take her away!” Her voice dripped with pain and anger. Within a minute, security guards rushed in. The receptionist then yelled at them with command, pointing at Lucy, “Get her out of this place now!” With a nod, the security guards gripped Lucy’s wrist firmly, dragging her outside. “Leave me! Let me go, you brats!” She yelled at the security guards, trying to break free from their grips but failed. “Ah! She was not only a prostitute but a lunatic. Oh, mine.” The woman who had made the mock comment earlier said, hitting her forehead. “You? Just be quiet!” Lucy glared at her with so much hate. She tried to attack the woman but the security guards’ powerful grips didn't let her. Finally, the securit
Chapter 143 The man turned and looked at Michael with a disdainful expression. “You stench, what authority do you have to interfere in my affair with….?” “Enough!” Michael cut him off, his words firm. His face also darkened, “Eat your breakfast and get your pathetic self out of here!’ Ella quickly interjected, walking to Michael, “What are you doing here? I was trying to call you not to come over. Please, you have to go before my Boss comes down.” Ella urged Michael to leave. But the customer interrupted, angry, “How dare you call me pathetic?” He blasted. “I can see that you want her to lose her job, isn't it?” “Just shut, your mouth stinks!” Michael shot back, “Besides, you're just a poor thing who can't do anything.” “You dare call me that?” “Yes! And what can you do?” “Enough, Michael! Stop it!” Ella stepped in, trying to make Michael not talk harshly to the customer knowing that his action might cause her to lose her job. “He's one of our customers and you
Chapter 144Just after Ella finished unwrapping the package, she staggered back, “Gold jewelry?” She muttered in shock, looking at the sparkling and mind-blowing gold jewelry. Her eyes blinked as she stared at it and her eyes shifted to Michael, “A gold jewelry? Where did you get it from?” She asked.Michael smiled, “From a jewelry store, of course. Where else do they sell it?” He asked.Ella wore a frown. She said, “That's not what I mean! My question is where did you get the money to buy it?” Her expression was filled with startlement.Michael was about to respond to her but then, the onlooker started to talk.“Oh, wow! That's the most expensive gold jewelry in a jewelry store.” One man said, “I took my wife to buy her that exact type, but the price was somewhat frightening, so I have to leave it and get her the silver jewelry instead.” He added, his eyes were wide open, envying the gold jewelry. “As for me, I have no intention of going to the jewelry store any time soon.” Another
Chapter 145 Immediately the sales clerk asked that the doziness that had earlier formed in Michael's eyes were driven away. Michael frowned his face but later on, smiled with the thought that the sales clerk might have probably forgotten his face, maybe since she attends to numerous customers. He maintained his comportment and explained himself, “Don't tell me that you don't remember me.” Michael smiled slightly, “Anyways, I'm the guy who bought the gold jewelry. I made a transfer, and it was successful, but you said you didn't see it. I then made use of my ATM card.” He explained everything to the sales clerk briefly, unaware that she was putting on an act and that she vividly remembered him. “You were even the one who suggested that I should give you my number so that you will call me once you see the money.” Michael continued and then paused, “Do you remember me now?” He asked. However, the sales clerk stuck to her fake act, “I don't know what you're talking about.” S
Chapter 146 The sales clerk smiled inside of her and said as she nodded her head, “Nice. It's working.” She then faked an angry face to continue with her act. Michael threw a fierce stare at the sales clerk, knowing she was acting but then looked at the manager, “How could you be so fast in judging someone? I bought gold jewelry from her. I transferred the money, but there was a network issue, so I had to pay with my card, telling her that I'd come back for the money once it dropped, and it has.” Michael quickly brought out his phone to back up his claim. He tried to show it to the manager but he was too angry to even look at him. “Enough!” He stopped Michael from getting close to him. “I don't want to hear any more words from you.” He paused and continued. “You want me to believe in your forged lies? Huh? How real does your story sound? You bought gold jewelry and made a transfer with your phone and when there was a network problem, you paid with your card and left without w
Chapter 147The manager's patience grew slim, having waited for the sales clerk's response. He was about to walk to her and beat her up again but the sales clerk quickly got up and said, “Yes, I'll tell the truth.” She nodded her head heavily.The manager then paused and pressed, “Now, say it!” He yelled.“I—I…..converted the first payment into my account.” She stuttered, shedding tears.The manager and Michael turned and looked at each other, both shocked. “You did what?” The manager asked.“I transferred the payment he made first into the account after it came in.” The sales clerk said in a shaky voice, still trying to steady her voice.“That means he actually made the payment?” The manager became more shocked. This simply means that the man who was with him right there in the shop was extremely rich to have made such payment and move.The sales clerk nodded her head, “Yes, sir. He wasn't lying. He actually did as he had said.” She confirmed.“And you?” The manager shot angrily at h
Chapter 148 Meanwhile, at Stephen Manor, Grandma Isabella had been standing at the back of Rose when she was on call with Ella, and after she finished, she asked, “Was that Ella?” Rose turned around while sitting on the sofa, she released a relieved smile, nodding her head, “Yes, Grandma. She was the one.” Grandma Isabella returned her smile, noticing her happiness, “I can see how happy you look now. But why has she not been coming over to the house? Is she alright?” Grandma Isabella had no idea that Ella had been thrown out of her home by her husband. The other day when Rose visited Ella's home and came back sad, she didn't tell her about the incident. Rose sighed, her expression turning into frustration, “Yes, she's fine but now single. Her husband had her thrown out of the home because of her barrenness.” She explained briefly. “What?” Grandma Isabella was taken aback, “He did that to her? Oh, poor Ella, who knows how she's doing.” She exclaimed, bitterly. She shook
Chapter 149Just after his first knock, the gate was creaked open and a gate guard walked out. His eyes glanced at Michael, “Good afternoon, sir. Please, what do you want?” “I want to see the manager here,” Michael replied confidently and words knew no stammering. The gate guard looked at Michael from head down to toe. The frontman was not even dressed richly, and he was saying he wanted to see his Boss.The gate guard was surprised because the man didn't even look like one who could afford to buy materials there.As a result, he hesitated for a moment, looking at Michael with a disdainful look, “Do you have any appointment with him?” He asked.Michael shook his head and replied, “No.” The gate guard didn't say any further word, he pulled out his phone and made a call and after the call rang for a few minutes, the person from the other end answered.“Is it one of those random guys looking for work to do?” A soft voice came through, asking. The man was already aware without being to
