Chapter 686: On What Grounds?

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The bespectacled treasure appraiser pushed his glasses up his nose bridge and picked up the emerald bracelet. He took a few glances at it and then put it down. Then he picked up the twenty-carat diamond ring and the so-called emerald earrings. He looked at them a few times before shaking his head, letting out a long sigh, and pushing them all back to Vanessa.

“How is it? You’ve finished so soon? Don’t you need to take a closer look? Are these genuine or fake?” Vanessa asked profusely.

The treasure appraiser said, “I’m sorry, Miss, but these items are not from the Heavenly Pavilion. Moreover, they’re all artificial gems. These things are very cheap, and you can probably get them for a few dozen dollars. If you wear them for a long time, they will be harmful to your health. Try not to wear them again in the future!”

Vanessa felt as if she was struck by lightning. Her eyes were wide open, and she stood rooted to the spot, completely dumbstruck.

These items… were things she cherished and wore every single day, and she’d go around showing them off. But it turned out that they were all counterfeits worth only a few dozen dollars. Worse still, they were harmful to her health!

Brian actually deceived her with such terrible counterfeit goods!

Vanessa stood in place dejectedly, completely lost and out of sorts, seemingly having suffered an immense blow.

But no one sympathized with her.

Lucas had also been standing at the side and watching everything. He felt that Vanessa had brought it upon herself.

From the time Vanessa met Charlotte by chance today, she had been showing off and flaunting her boyfriend’s wealth and their success. She had also insulted Charlotte and Lucas from time to time.

Lucas could ignore all of this. But when Vanessa and Charlotte fell out just now, Vanessa had cursed at Charlotte and said lots of unpleasant and callous things to her. She had even behaved in an extremely condescending manner, making Lucas feel disgusted.

Vanessa, a materialistic gold digger who only knew to rely on men, had a twisted mind. She had put her former best friend to shame and trampled all over her, so she totally deserved to end up in such a plight today.

Seeing Vanessa finally stop pestering him, Brian hurried toward Kenneth and said nervously, “Mr. Parker, that woman is the one who broke the vase, and I have nothing to do with her now. If you want someone to compensate for it, look for her. She really isn’t related to me in any way!”

Then he scurried toward the elevator door in a bid to flee.

“Stop! Did I say you could leave? If you dare to take another step, I’ll make your family vanish from LA!” Kenneth roared coldly.

His words made Brian freeze in place. He stood nailed to the spot, not even daring to tremble.

A bean-sized droplet of sweat trickled down his face.

Brian didn’t doubt Kenneth’s threat at all.

The Parkers were now the largest and most powerful family in LA. A small family like the Kleins would definitely be annihilated as long as Kenneth issued a command!

“Mr… Mr. Parker, but that woman is really the one who broke the vase. The… the people here can vouch for me!” Brian was on the verge of tears.

“I don’t care. I’ve just heard someone report the situation. You broke up with that woman after breaking the vase in my store, which means that you were still in a relationship with her when the vase was broken. You two were even holding hands then.

“I don’t care what you two do after this. But now, you two must pay for the broken vase! Otherwise, I’ll have someone go to the Klein family and ask your elders how this matter should be handled!”

Kenneth couldn’t be bothered to argue with Brian. After making himself clear, he stopped paying attention to him.

Brian felt that the sky was about to collapse on him.

The vase was worth $2.8 million!

It was absolutely not a small sum of money!

Kenneth demanded that he and Vanessa compensate for it together, but Brian knew that Vanessa was so poor that she probably didn’t even have $30,000, which was far from enough. In the end, he would still have to pay for it.

But the Kleins were not even a second-tier family in LA, and their combined assets were probably only around 10 million dollars. Moreover, this amount was almost all in real estate and immovable properties. They probably had less than 2 million dollars in liquid funds!

In other words, if they had to pay the compensation of $2.8 million, the Kleins would have to sell their houses or stores. If his elders found out, they would definitely beat him to death!

Brian’s face turned pale, and he felt devastated.

Meanwhile, Kenneth had already walked up to Lucas and asked cautiously with great respect, “Mr. Gray, this commotion hasn’t affected your mood, has it?”

He had just been chatting happily with some business partners in the Walton Hotel, where the Elite Business Exchange would be held, under the guidance of his grandfather. But he was suddenly informed that someone was causing trouble in the Heavenly Pavilion, and Lucas was there again. Kenneth was almost frightened to death!

Just yesterday, Lucas had visited the Parkers’ Heavenly Pavilion for the first time and had been provoked by the idiotic Kylie and general manager Frey.

Kenneth hurried over to teach them a lesson and promoted Jane, whom Lucas recommended. He also admonished all the employees of the Heavenly Pavilion.

But just one day later, there was yet another slip-up, and Lucas had encountered an unhappy incident in the Heavenly Pavilion again. Kenneth felt that he was too embarrassed to face Lucas again.

He was also particularly worried that Lucas might scold him for his poor management and incompetency.

If he were in Lucas’s place and ended up encountering an unhappy experience in a store run by his subordinate twice in a row, he would definitely think that his subordinate was poor at managing.

Fortunately for him, Lucas wasn’t upset with him. Instead, he smiled and said, “I’m just here to watch the drama.”

Of course, Lucas wouldn’t blame Kenneth for today’s incident. Actually, the Heavenly Pavilion was also unlucky to have met these two scourges.

Seeing that Lucas didn’t seem upset, Kenneth finally heaved a sigh of relief and stood up straight.

His respectful and conscientious behavior, as well as the subservient way he addressed Lucas, made everyone stunned!

In particular, Brian and Vanessa were so astounded that their eyes were about to fall out.

The scion of the Parkers actually behaved so deferentially toward Lucas.

How was this possible?!

On what grounds?!
