Chapter 683: Insufficient Balance

Chapter 683: Insufficient Balance

Afraid that Brian and Lucas would really get into a fight, Jane quickly said with composure, “Don’t fight! I’ll pick up the bank card now.”

She bent down to pick up the bank card at Brian’s feet.

In fact, Jane’s thought process was simple. She thought that since Lucas was not only a valued guest of Kenneth, the owner of the Heavenly Pavilion, but also her benefactor, she couldn’t let Brian really beat up Lucas no matter what.

As long as she picked up Brian’s bank card as soon as possible and swiped it to complete the compensation procedure, they could leave quickly, and everything would be fine.

Lucas once again reached out to stop Jane. “I appreciate your attitude toward customers, and that’s why you’re now the general manager of the Heavenly Pavilion. However, that’s also why all your words and actions now represent the Heavenly Pavilion and no longer just yourself personally.

“Today’s incident is their fault in the first place, so they should compensate for breaking the vase in the store. If you really give in and submit to someone humiliating you and the Heavenly Pavilion, it means that the Heavenly Pavilion is stooping low to bow down to them. In that case, how can the Heavenly Pavilion’s image be preserved in the hearts of the customers? Will there be more and more people coming here to cause trouble and take the opportunity to trample all over you?

“I know you’re putting up with this today for the sake of settling this matter peacefully, but others may not think so. They’ll only think that you and the Heavenly Pavilion are weak pushovers!

“If he accidentally dropped his bank card, it would be understandable for you to help him pick it up. But he’s clearly the one who made a mistake in the first place, yet he’s still acting all high and mighty. Since he doesn’t treat you as human, you don’t have to be nice to him! Respect between people is mutual, and we are all born equal. You work hard to make a livelihood, and you’re not inferior to them at all!

“Besides, you’re the general manager of Heavenly Pavilion. How could you really be afraid of him? If someone really dares to cause trouble here, the Parkers will definitely not ignore it!”

Lucas would rarely say so many words at once.

But Jane was a talent he recognized, and he didn’t want to see this intelligent girl with a strong backbone getting bullied like this. He wanted to nurture and train her.

Moreover, Lucas really couldn’t tolerate Brian and Vanessa.

After hearing what Lucas said, Jane looked extremely touched.

During the time she had worked as a sales assistant, she had often been bullied by others and ordered around by haughty customers. No one had cared about the dignity of the sales assistants. Lucas was the only one who had stopped her from bending down to pick up the card to protect her dignity, and not just once.

Charlotte was also looking at him with glistening eyes and admiration written all over her face.

At the same time, the people who had witnessed the entire incident around them stood on Lucas and Jane’s side. They couldn’t stand the arrogant and domineering behavior of Brian and Vanessa.

“Those two people are really outrageous! They spent so long browsing through the items here, but they refused to buy anything using all sorts of excuses. They knocked over the vase, but not only did they not apologize, they’re acting so snobbish. They even deliberately threw the bank card to the floor. How uncultured!

“God knows where they’re from. Do they think they’re a big deal just because they have some money? Those who can enter the Heavenly Pavilion are all rich, but no one is as arrogant as them!”

“Hah, I think it’s hard to say for sure that they’re really rich! These look like they’re wearing designer clothing, but they’re actually high-end knockoffs! My family is the agent for a luxury menswear brand, and I can tell at a glance!”

“Wow, they’re really something. They’re wearing counterfeit products, yet they still have the audacity to be so arrogant. I saw them being picky and criticizing the items without buying anything. I bet they’re really too poor to afford anything.”

…

Countless accusatory voices came from all around.

When Brian heard the first few remarks, his face turned beet-red with anger. But when he heard the next few, he felt so ashamed that he didn’t even dare to lift his head.

Reason being, these people were right. The designer clothes and accessories he was wearing were actually all high-end counterfeits that cost only a few hundred dollars. The customers of the Heavenly Pavilion in front of him were genuinely wealthy, so they could definitely expose his lies.

At this thought, Brian couldn’t care less about Jane. Now, all he wanted to do was immediately settle the matter and leave.

“Fine, I was wrong!” he said through gritted teeth. He picked up the bank card on the floor, handed it to Jane, and quickly said, “I’ll compensate you for it. Quickly swipe my card!”

Brian began chickening out and wanted to leave as soon as possible. But Vanessa felt that he was greatly wronged, and the ones responsible were Lucas, the culprit, and Charlotte, his accomplice.

“Lucas Gray, do you think you’re really great? Do you think we’re afraid of you? Let me tell you. My boyfriend just doesn’t want to create unnecessary trouble. That’s why he apologized. It’s not because he’s afraid of you!

“After leaving the Heavenly Pavilion, my boyfriend is still the deputy general manager of the Solar Corporation. He’s in charge of thousands of employees and has an annual salary of millions! He also easily earns more than ten million a year just from bank deposit interests, stock options, and investments!

“But what about you? After you leave the Heavenly Pavilion, you’re still just a bottom feeder of society. Do you even make more than minimum wage?

“Charlotte Carter, you’re really blind to have fallen for such a man! You deserve to be unlucky for the rest of your life and never make a comeback! Haha, I really find it amusing when I think about how I used to be your best friend! You and I belong to two different worlds, and I will never speak to you again!”

Facing Vanessa acting like a mad dog barking, Lucas and Charlotte didn’t bother to pay any attention.

From now on, Charlotte would no longer see Vanessa as her best friend. Besides, their situations were completely unlike what Vanessa said, so she obviously wouldn’t care about what Vanessa said.

“Sir, I’m sorry, but the balance in your bank card is insufficient to pay for the vase…” Jane suddenly walked back from the cashier with Brian’s bank card, looking rather awkward.

“What? How is it possible that the balance is insufficient? I have a million in that card! How can it be insufficient for that stupid vase?” Brian immediately shouted angrily.

Jane said with an apologetic look, “If you really only have a million in your card, it’s indeed insufficient because the vase you two just broke is a blue-and-white porcelain vase from the Ming Dynasty, which is extremely rare and precious. Its retail price is 2.8 million dollars, and the balance in your card is quite far from this.”

Brian and Vanessa widened their eyes in shock, almost wondering if there was something wrong with their ears!
