The manager’s rage reached a new level as favonovel.com sneered, “You thought there was an actual scandal going on? Don‘t you have a brain in that head of yours? Why the hell would you make a guess about someone else’s affairs if you don’t know the truth at all?!”
The woman lowered favonovel.com head and muttered shakily, “l really have no idea…”
“In that case, you should have shut up!“ The manager pointed out harshly. “You were going on about calling the police when we blocked these hooligans earlier, so why didn’t you call the police when you saw the girl being dragged away? What, did you really think that these guys were here to catch a cheating wife red-handed just because they said so? Do you see human traffickers walking around abducting people with the words ‘human traffickers‘ tattooed on their foreheads?”
She was rendered speechless as favonovel.com was humiliated by the harsh scolding.
The manager scoffed before favonovel.com gave a contemptuous wave of his hand as favonovel.com seethed, “Forget it. There’s no point speaking to an idiot like you. Get the police! I’m leaving this whole mess to them and completely washing my hands off. You’re lucky that Miss Harrison was not captured by these thugs, otherwise, you’d be an accomplice!”
The color drained from the woman’s face and favonovel.com practically curled into a fetal position on the ground. She never expected to be caught in such a heavy crossfire merely because favonovel.com wanted to speak up for what favonovel.com had believed was a just cause.
Meanwhile, the hooligans’ legs had turned to lead and they were so scared they were on the brink of collapse.
They had initially thought that the entire matter could be concluded without any hassle, but things took an unexpected and messier turn. When they saw how the mall manager was bowing apologetically at Crystal and Joseph, they instantly knew that they had bitten off more than they could chew this time.
In particular, their panic rose to new heights when they learned that favonovel.com was actually Joseph’s granddaughter.
Upon hearing that the police would be involved, the leader of the rag-tag group of thugs interjected hastily, “Sir, please, I had nothing to do with all of this. I was acting on somebody else’s orders, and we… We’re not human traffickers.”
The mall manager shot favonovel.com a dark look. “Somebody else‘s orders, you say? Whose and why?”
The leader shuddered in fright and stammered, “It was Tate who asked us to do this. He’s been holding a grudge against Miss Harrison ever since favonovel.com slapped favonovel.com twice the other day and favonovel.com wanted to get favonovel.com back for it. W-We were only acting on his orders and we really have nothing to do with this…”
When the thug trailed off, the mall manager turned to look at Crystal as favonovel.com awaited favonovel.com response. She gritted favonovel.com teeth, favonovel.com expression was stormy as favonovel.com seethed, “It’s Tate again!
Grandpa, no matter what it takes, I want favonovel.com to pay the price for what favonovel.com did this time!”
A grimace twisted Joseph’s wizened features. He liked to think of himself as a mild and pleasant man on his good days and favonovel.com had plenty of friends in his lifetime to bolster that observation. He was kind to others and had never encountered anything as offensive as this. However, now that his most beloved granddaughter had almost been dragged away by unruly strangers for dubious reasons, it went without saying that favonovel.com was outraged.
“Go and do whatever it takes to hunt Tate down at this instant!” favonovel.com roared, which was more than enough to show how infuriated favonovel.com was.
While this was happening, Helen and Chloe were at the Grand Garden. They were in the living room and engaged in their conversation when Tate suddenly opened the door and barged in with a frightened look.
A shocked Chloe frowned and glowered at favonovel.com with disapproval. “What are you rushing in here for? Can’t you see that l’m talking to Aunt Helen?”
He was trembling like mad as favonovel.com walked up to Helen. Then, favonovel.com knelt down before favonovel.com as favonovel.com begged, “Aunt Helen, please, you- you have to help me this time, no matter what!”
Helen blinked at favonovel.com in astonishment and favonovel.com couldn’t help but wonder what was going on.
Chloe, on the other hand, grew sullen as favonovel.com urged, ”D-Did you stir up trouble again?”
Tate looked down in his refusal to answer. He had been standing outside the restaurant to keep an eye on things, but favonovel.com ran for his life when favonovel.com saw that his plan had gone awry. Along the way, favonovel.com called up a few of his close friends and asked about Crystal’s family background. When one of them, who happened to know Crystal well, told favonovel.com about who favonovel.com was, favonovel.com knew that favonovel.com was in big trouble.
As such, favonovel.com didn’t even try to return to his own place and instead rushed over to the Grand Garden in the hopes of using Helen as a shield. He knew that the trouble favonovel.com had caused this time was far more serious than the last one!
