Chapter 18
At the same time, a slap landed on the saleswoman’s pretty face, which got scratched by Kimberly’s diamond–studded nails. Small drops of blood oozed out, looking a little scary.
All of a sudden, the whole store became so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
In just one or two seconds. Ophelia came to her senses from her shock.
She took a step forward with a fierce look on her gemale face and said. “You actually wanted to slap me?”
Ever since she was born, not even her family could bear to lay a finger on her. Now, an unknown woman wanted to slap hert
She had to teach this woman a lesson!
The saleswoman named Jenny knew that something bad was about to happen. Despite the pain on her face, she quickly grabbed Miss Wilbur and shook her head, motioning for her to calm down.
Jenny, I can’t calm down. If it weren’t for you, I would’ve just been slapped! My face would have been scratched Ophelia snapped.
With a murderous look in her reyes, she pushed away Jenny, who was standing in front of her trying to persuade her.
She looked soberce, like she was going to skin Kimberly alive. And Kimberly was so scared that she wanted to run away.
How could Ophelia let her go so easily!
“You want to leave? You wish! You must apologize and pay her medical expenses!”
Ophelia was not easy to talk to
“You’re not going to say that Jenny bumped into your hand herself, are you?”
Kimberly wanted to make an excuse, but when she saw Ophelia’s steely look, she couldn’t bring herself to say anything.
With a cruelty unbecoming of her age, Ophelia walked over to Kimberly
She stopped right in front of Kimberly and slapped her face twice.
“The first slap is payback, the second is a lesson for you!” Both slaps were clean and hard,
Kimberly covered her face in horror. It hurt so much!
She thought, “This girl is so ruthless. My face is probably swollen.”
Her eyes were red with disbelief. “How dare you slap me? You’ll definitely regret it!”
“I’ll regret it!” Ophelia couldn’t help but laugh. “In all the years of my life, I have never regretted anything!”
Kimberly was upset by Ophelia’s arrogant attitude and asked, “Do you know who I am?”
“Whoever you are, I don’t give a shit!”
Kimberly was going to say that she was Pierre’s girlfriend, but on second thought, she realized that Pierre hated it the most when people flaunted their connections with him to bully others.
Since this girl Angela
I was so arrogant and could afford the clothes here, she must come from a powerful family. So Kimberly decided to pass the buck to
“I’m the internationally renowned jewelry designer, Anthea Cullen. I’ve been specially invited by Mr. Louise.”
“An internationally renowned jewelry designert How come you are so rude? Are you an imposter?”
Kimberly felt guilty at Ophelia’s sneer and suspicion.
Ophelia added aggressively. “Do you think Pierre Louise’s name can intimidate me? Make it up to me. 20 thousand dollara!”
Hearing this, Kimberly forgot the pain on her face and screamed, “20 thousand dollars!! Why don’t you just rob a bank?”
“Are you saying that my face is not worth 20 thousand!” Although Ophelia still looked a bit childish, her tone was absolutely unquestionable.
The 20 thousand dollars is just my compensation. You still have to pay for Jenny’s medical expenses, lost work time, and plastic surgery. That will he 10 thousand! Pay us now or you can’t leave!”
Chapter 18
Kimberly was stunned. One slap would cost her that much, not to mention that she had been slapped twicet How dare this girl ask her for 50 thousand dollars?
“Are you
you crazy!” Kimberly barked, unwilling to give in.
Ophelia sneered and said. “If you don’t want to pay, then let Jenny scratch your face.
Naturally, compared to the rich young lady, the saleswoman was easy to deal with.
Jenny, go get your face treated first. Pay for the medical expenses. Then come to Gem, and I Il pay you the full amount.”
The medical costs wouldn’t be too much. Besides, if Jenny made a scene at Gem, Angela would be the one to be embarrassed. It would be like killing two birds with one stonel
But Ophelia seemed to have read her mind and did not let her have her way. “You think Jenny is that easy to fool? Dream on!
“That’s a black card in your hand, right? I’ll give you my bank account info. You can pay me now.”
Ophelia was determined not to let Kimberly leave until she had the money. She quickly showed Kimberly her bank account number on her phone.
Kimberly felt that today was really not her day.
Ophelia was too aggressive to refuse, so she had no choice but to pay before leaving
What Kimberly didn’t know was that there were two children in the crowd watching her. Their faces were filled with anger.
As soon as Kimberly left, Ophelia called her brother, Hugh
“The company where the woman who’s been with Pierre for
or five years works hired an international jewelry designer!”
“The company where the woman who’s been with Pierre for five years works?” Hugh was confused at first, but he quickly understood.
“You mean Gem, right? That’s what I heard. Do you want her to design something for you!”
Hugh knew
ew that his sister liked things that were unconventional, limited edition, and custom–made,
“I don’t want her to design anything for me!” Ophelia angrily told him what had just happened.
“I don’t think an immoral person is capable of creating great work! I want her excluded from this business.”
Hugh didn’t know what to do with his sister. “For such a small conflict? Forget it. Let her
But he was interrupted
“I’ve never been so humiliated in my life! But all you do is ask me to let her go? You are such a bad brother. Your medical skills are nothing compared to Leo’s.”
On the other end of the phone, Hugh was speechless.
How could she say that about her brother Other people’s sisters were all soft and sweet and kind to their brothers!
Although his sister was 14 years younger than him, it seemed that she had never been soft and sweet but had always been willful and overbearing
But he was still willing to spoil her.
“You want to exclude her from this business? I ask Pierre for you. After all, be invited her here.”
“Alright!”
Angela, unaware that
that she was the scapegoat, was worried in the materials warehouse.
None of the existing rough gems and jewels caught her attention.
The annual launch of the new products would be held in July.
Angela pulled out her cell phone and dialed a number. After exchanging a few words on the phone, she asked, “Mr. Litt. Gem has a batch of ordinary rough gemstones to sell. Do you have any buyers!”
“Why are there ordinary gemstones in
Gem?
The man on the other end of the line was a litle surprised.

“It’s hard to explain, Mr. Litt. These raw materials can only be used as accessories. There are too many of them to use, and I’m still short of money. So I want to sell them”
“Okay, leave it to me. The man immediately agreed. “When are you going to bring the company back from overseas?”
“Let’s move the auction house back first. After all, it’s a big country with plenty of resources and a big market. But you’ll need to be in charge of it.”
After hanging up, Angela informed the purchasing manager and the financial manager that she needed to buy a batch of high–quality raw
materials.
As soon as she started her work in the afternoon, Kimberly broke into her office.
“You want to buy raw materials? Are there not enough in the warehouse for you?”
She was rude and arrogant, and her tone insisted that Angela was to blame.
yourself. Are they
ey good enough for our brand?”
“So you don’t know why they haven’t been used?” Angela sneered. “Go and take a look for y
Kimberly knew little about jewelry, even though she had been working in the industry for nearly eight years and had been buying rough stones herself for the past few years.
“Why can’t they be used? Kimberly stared at Angela. “They came from the same supplier. Our company has been using their materials for many years. Why can’t they be used all of a sudden?”
Angela’s mother had struck the deal with the supplier, so Kimberly hadn’t dared to replace it.
That was why she had the confidence to confront Angela now.
