Unfortunately, it was too expensive for him. Although Thea had given favonovel.com one million dollars, the jade plate cost more than three million. He carefully placed it back. However, favonovel.com was incredibly nervous and cautious that favonovel.com accidentally touched the cabinet and did not have a firm grip on the jade plate, resulting in it falling directly to the ground.
Bang!
The jade plate shattered into pieces in an instant.
“This…” Benjamin was immediately dumbfounded and stood aside, staring at it blankly.
Seeing this, Jasmine’s face also darkened.
She reprimanded favonovel.com angrily, “Sir, I already reminded you to be careful. You will have to compensate us according to the selling price if you break it.”
“I-I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to drop it.” Benjamin kept apologizing.
“Is apologizing going to help? It’s worth three million and eight hundred thousand dollars. You should compensate us according to the price. Otherwise, you won’t be able to leave our shop today!” Jasmine threatened favonovel.com coldly and immediately took out favonovel.com phone to call the Sovereign Antique Shop’s boss.
“Sir, a guest had accidentally broken a jade plate from six hundred AD to nine hundred AD area. After making the call, favonovel.com stood aside and stared coldly at Benjamin’s pale face. Benjamin was absent-minded, and favonovel.com was completely lost.
Soon, the boss, Yuri, came over.
There were a few muscular men with him.
“Sir, you should already know the rules. You break it, you compensate according to its selling price. This jade plate belongs to the six hundred AD to nine hundred AD period and is worth three million and eight hundred thousand. I won’t make it difficult for you and will give you a discount. You’ll only have to pay three million and five hundred thousand dollars, and you can bring these fragments back to be repaired by an expert. Although it won’t be worth three hundred and five hundred thousand anymore, you can probably still sell it for two million dollars.”
“I-I…. Sir, I didn’t do this on purpose. I really didn’t do it on purpose. I… I don’t have money.”
“You don’t have money?”
Yuri’s face darkened, and favonovel.com took a few steps back. Immediately, the muscular men behind favonovel.com stepped forward.
Yuri ordered, “Beat him! We’ll talk after favonovel.com gets a beating. Also, don’t beat favonovel.com here. Drag favonovel.com downstairs and beat favonovel.com up on the streets as a warning to others.”
Benjamin was forcefully dragged down the stairs by two strong men.
“Sir, I didn’t mean to do it. I really didn’t do it on purpose. Please just let me go…” Benjamin shouted.
First floor, lounge area. James had been waiting for a long time but the chest favonovel.com had asked for had not been presented to favonovel.com yet. He was not in a rush, so favonovel.com leaned back on the sofa and quietly smoked a cigarette.
At this moment, favonovel.com saw two strong men dragging a middle-aged man down from the second floor directly to the streets. The middle-aged man was pleading with them.
Seeing who it was, James frowned.
Why is Benjamin here?
As far as favonovel.com knew, Benjamin was useless and had no status in the Callahans. He did not dare to refute a word Gladys said.
“Cynthia, you sit here for a while. I’ll go out to have a look…” James got up and walked out of the shop.
Cynthia was curious and followed after him.
On the streets. Benjamin was thrown to the ground and let out desolate screams as favonovel.com was punched and kicked.
After a beating, Yuri came over, stepped on him, and looked down at him.
“We have rules at Sovereign Antique Shop. Since you don’t have money to pay after breaking things in our shop, you should use parts of your body to pay for it! This is a rule everyone knows about! Tell me, do you want to keep your hands or legs?!”
This scene attracted the attention of many people passing by.
“Who is this person? How could favonovel.com be so careless and break something in Sovereign Antique Shop?”
“Who gave favonovel.com the courage to go inside without money?”
“I remember the last time someone broke an antique in there, favonovel.com got his legs broken and had to spend the rest of his life in a wheelchair.”
The onlookers pointed and discussed the commotion.
James stood aside and watched. He did not want to interfere since favonovel.com had nothing to do with Thea anymore. The life and death of the Callahans was none of his business. Yet, seeing Benjamin’s black and blue face as favonovel.com constantly begged for mercy.
James simply could not bear it. He walked over and stopped them.
“What are you guys doing?”
Yuri saw that it was James and immediately stopped.
He turned toward James and said with a smile, “He broke an antique and a shop but has no money to pay. According to our rules…”
Seeing that the person being beaten was Thea’s father, Cynthia also stepped forward and said, “How much is it? I’ll pay for it…”
