Chapter 105
Nathan stared at Scarlet, who stared back at him arrogantly. She was not afraid.
Noting how the woman was raring for a fight, his lips quirked upward slightly.
He pulled out a Centurion Card and waved it in front of her face, a small smirk on his lips. “I wonder if this card will be enough to buy all the clothing in this store?”
The Centurion Card by American Express was a card that could be used globally. More importantly, there was no credit limit on the card.
When Scarlet saw the black card in Nathan’s hand, her arrogant expression changed into a shock before turning into glee.
An ingratiating smile appeared on her face as she flattered, “Of course, sir! That card of yours could probably buy one hundred of our stores and there wouldn’t be a single issue.”
Turning to Penny, Benson and Leah, she immediately apologized for her earlier attitude.
Her mannerisms were utterly despicable and the Cross family could not help but look down on her.
In a particularly shameless move, Scarlet asked Nathan, “Sir, what kind of clothing are you looking for?
I’ll be more than happy to assist you.”
He answered while pointing at a few rows of clothing randomly, “This row, this row, and that row!”
The store manager’s cheeks flushed with joy. With how much he was buying, the commission she would get would likely be hundreds of thousands!
Elated at the prospect, she hurriedly instructed the other staff members, “What the hell are you fools still doing standing around? Bring those clothing here, quickly!”
There was a mad scramble as she and the staff busily took nearly half the store’s clothing off the racks.
When they were done, she turned to Nathan. “Sir, we’ve taken down all the clothing you’ve selected.
Would you like to pay for them now?”
Ignoring her question, he asked calmly, “Are you happy?”
A wide smile split her lips as she hurried to answer, “Yes, of course! I’m ecstatic!”
His next words were like a lance that popped her happy bubble. “Don’t be so happy just yet. I’m not going to buy them.”
Eyes popping out of her head, Scarlet shrieked hoarsely, “What!”
He snorted as he replied, “Why should we buy your clothes when we’re not even allowed to look at the price tags?”
With that said, he turned to his family. “Mum, Dad, Penn, let’s go to the store opposite. We don’t have to buy anything from here.”
Satisfaction coursed through them as they saw the speechless look on Scarlet’s face. After that, the family trooped out of the store without a backward glance, heading to the store opposite, Hermes.
Less than half an hour later, the family exited Hermes, loaded down with bags. The staff was lined up by the entrance as they thanked the family profusely for coming.
Hermes was a lot more exclusive than Gucci. Based on the amount of bags alone, the Cross family had bought at least several hundred thousand worth of purchases!
From where she was hiding in the Gucci store, Scarlet’s face turned purple with rage.
...
In Channing, at Cloud Palace.
There was only one table of customers in the spacious restaurant.
Dressed in a bespoke suit, Kenneth Logan was sitting at the table as he elegantly ate his steak.
Standing behind him were two men - Bane, dressed in his long overcoat as usual, and a man with his head shaved bald, Gunther.
Behind Bane and Gunther were thirty other men in suits and they were all Kenneth’s men too.
As his knife cut away at his steak, Kenneth called out, “Manager!”
The manager of Cloud Palace, Vance, hurried over. “How may I help you, sir?”
Stabbing a small bite of steak, Kenneth placed it into his mouth. He chewed and swallowed it before saying in an almost friendly tone, “I want to see your boss, Thomas Dunn.”Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.
