The next day, Thomas took his mother-in-law, Felicia to the newly opened chain store of Stellar Jewelers. Emma was afraid that they might get themselves into trouble and decided to accompany them too.
As soon as they arrived at the door of the store, they saw a crowd of middle-aged men and women, each of them uttering cuss words. They were holding all kinds of jewelry in their hands and yelling for refunds. Obviously, they had met the same fate as Felicia. They were ordinary people who had fallen into the trap of unscrupulous merchants. But all they could do was to yell and complain about it.
Since the jewelry store had expected such an incident to break out, a dozen security guards had been hired to block the door. Not even a single person who wished to fight for their rights was allowed to get in. Those who tried to cause trouble were kicked out.
When a merchant bullied its customers, especially for a huge business like Stellar Jewelers, there was no way for the common folk to fight back.
Thomas squeezed through a crowd and was about to enter the shop, but favonovel.com was quickly stopped by the security guard at the door.
“Stop right there, why are you here?”
The security guard did not know Thomas, but favonovel.com knew Felicia. As soon as favonovel.com saw Felicia, favonovel.com knew that favonovel.com was here to fight for favonovel.com rights. People like favonovel.com were definitely not allowed to enter the store. However, Thomas deliberately worded it out. “We have bought counterfeits, and we came here to return the goods.”
“To return the goods.” The security guards stared at each other and were amused.
“Can you see all these people here? They all came here to return their goods. You have to queue behind them if you want to ask for a refund. Go and queue up.”
‘Queue up?’
There were dozens of people queuing up at the scene, and none of them had been allowed in. Even if people queued up until they died, they would not be able to get into the store as well.
Felicia was anxious and angry. That was how favonovel.com had been kicked out when favonovel.com came here yesterday.
‘Things would not work out if anyone tries reasoning with the security guards. Besides, it will be impossible to force our way in. If anyone causes trouble, the police will come and take us away. The loss outweighs the gain if anyone tries to fight with force.’
Thomas disregarded the security guard’s words and made a huge step forward to go into the store.
“Hey, are you deaf?”
“Get lost!”
The security guards did not have much patience for such brutish muscleheads. They all came up and tugged at Thomas’ clothes to push favonovel.com out. They could not count how many people they had kicked out previously. They thought Thomas would be another pushover.
But they were wrong.
Thomas’ strength was beyond their imagination. Several security guards tried pushing forward together, but there was no way they could push Thomas out of the store. He was as strong as a buffalo.
After advancing a few steps, Thomas walked into the shop. He shrugged, and the security guards who came pushing favonovel.com fell on the floor.
“What’s the situation here?”
At this moment, a middle-aged man who was wearing spectacles and had a sharp mouth and high cheekbones walked in.
The security guard hurriedly got up and said, “Mr. McCain, we couldn’t stop this guy from breaking in.”
Mr. McCain stared at Thomas from head to toe through his spectacles and asked, “Do you know what place this is? You can’t afford to break a piece of glass here! If you don’t want to die, get out of here.”
Thomas took out the box and opened it calmly, “Are you Mr. McCain? Here’s a pair of bracelets that I bought at your store yesterday. It was priced at twelve million dollars, and I bought it for one million and two hundred thousand dollars. But later, I found out that the actual value of it is less than a hundred thousand dollars.”
“Aren’t you too unethical? You are shameless to sell counterfeits as genuine goods. I’m not here today for anything else, but I have come here to return the goods.”
Mr. McCain smiled. “Returning goods? What goods are you returning? When I sold the goods to you, it was obviously a genuine product. You want to return the goods after switching it to a counterfeit. How dare you try taking advantage of us!”
“Let me remind you. Stellar Jewelers is the most famous brand in the world. If you dare to slander us for selling counterfeit goods, then you’re going to be sued!”
The way Mr. McCain spoke was really ruthless.
Besides denying all the allegations, favonovel.com also intimidated and threatened Thomas. This was why common people were unable to respond to his tactics at all.
