Chapter 47—You Are Worthless
My Bella Boutique has always been avoided by the ordinary people since their clothing prices only cater to the rich. However, today they have more people in the store not to shop but to witness the disturbance.
The manager panics after Vera rushes to get her son from Lu Mina's grasp. He didn't expect that the situation would escalate like this. Undecided whether to call the security or ambulance, he dialed the mall security but was stopped by Vera's hand.
"No need, Mr. Chen." She said while she signaled some people to take the woman out of the building.
Seeing the bodyguards appear from nowhere, Lu Mina became even more hysterical. "You Dare! Do you know who I am? Who my family are? I will make sure that you suffer for what you did to me!" The woman shouted, not caring about her reputation any longer.
Vera laughs at her words. "I already warned you not to touch my son. How dare you forcefully drag my six-year-old boy? If you ask me, that is considered child abuse." She stated that makes every listener, especially parents, gasp.
"Besides, I don't care about your family. Whoever your family is, they could never touch me." She moves closer to the woman sitting on the floor while holding her injured hand. Not wanting for others to hear her, she bends down to her height and whispers, "Don't think highly of yourself; for me, your family is nothing. No matter what you do, your value will always be worthless in my eyes."
Vera's word struck Lu Mina like a bolt of lightning. Her eyes show trepidation. Did she anger an influential daughter? She is worried now after hearing Vera's words. Only a powerful family dares to speak such arrogant words, especially since she also came from one. Does it mean this woman is more powerful than her family?
Lu Mina didn't have the chance to finish her thought since Vera ordered her bodyguards to take the woman out of the store.
Lu Mina tried her best to fight, but her strength was not enough to ward off the trained guards. To lessen her embarrassment, she decided to follow them and left the mall. However, she vows to have her revenge on the woman the next time she sees her.
-------------------------------------------
The people who gather to watch disperse after Lu Mina is dragged out of the store. Vera faces the manager and continues to pay for her items.
"I am so sorry for today's incident, Miss Jia." Manager Chen is very apologetic. He personally tallied Vera's items, and as time passed by, his face became more anxious. The woman purchases 62 pieces from their store. And the amount is so ridiculous even for him. He never saw anyone buy this amount at once.
He nervously peeks at the woman. The attire she is wearing seems so simple and inexpensive. At first glance people would think that she looks poor, so how could she buy their expensive clothes? However, he remembers the bodyguard that follows her. He became more curious about the woman's identity.
"The total amount is 47 thousand dollars, Miss Jia." Manager Chen announced, and the staff listening on the side bulge their eyes at the staggering amount.
Vera didn't care and instead pulled out her black credit card. She passes it to Manager Chen, which makes the guy even more surprised seeing the credit card she handed over. It is not just the usual card he saw; it's the card only for the wealthiest family in Country X. It has no limit, and as far as he knows, only a small number of people own them. Who is this woman? Mr. Chen is more intrigued now.
He was about to insert the card, but the boy stops him. "Use your VIP card, Mommy. If you use it at this mall, you will get points," Xu Li informed her mother.
"Is that right? What will I get in return? Vera wanted to know.
"If your points are accumulated, the mall will give you special gifts." Xu Li said.
"I see. I like that idea." Vera took out her VIP gold card and exchanged it for her credit card.
Mr. Chen was even more speechless after noting the card in Vera's hand. A VIP Gold Card! Only the owner of the mall has the VIP card in gold color. It only means one thing. This woman is the owner of Jia Mall. With a shaking hand, he receives the card and reads the name on it. "Jia"
Boom!
Jia! As in Jia world! He is facing the owner herself. Mr. Chen bowed deeply and greeted Vera again. He quickly processed the payment and handed over the card. Vera took her items and left the store but didn't forget to remind the manager to keep her identity between them. The man agreed happily.
Vera and Xu Li left the store without looking back. The manager couldn't believe how lucky he was to meet the owner of the mall. Fortunately, he didn't go against her today.
