Alvin scoffed at them and rolled his eyes, waiting for more drama.

The manager had a sharp eyes and was discerning.

“Customer, is that what happened? I want to hear from you.”

“Manager, what do you mean? Are you doubting me?” The sales attendant quickly interrupted, looking upset.

“Shut up immediately, unless you want to get fired. Customer, please.”

“I came here to take my sister shopping, in my bid to cheer her up. Who would have expected that your sales attendant would insult us? She even tried to slap me, and all I did here was in self defense. You can check the cameras. All the people I hit were those who tried to hit me first. My sister went through a lot last night barely surviving a life and death accident. I brought her here to cheer her up, and let her clean up before we leave. But your good staff assaulted us, frightening my already scarred sister even more. How do you think we should settle this?” Alvin asked, looking straight at the manager.

The manager watched him carefully, trying to make a, decision.

‘His clothes are stained with dried blood, and he has dried wounds on his hands. So what he said about the accident is probably true. Everyone knows Starlight mall only deals in luxury. If he came here to change clothes after an accident, it means he has enough money to pay. The pendant on the girl's neck was made of purple imperial jade, which is very expensive. She's not ordinary. And she's the daughter of the fallen KS group. The boy might be a friend from another powerful family who came to rescue her after hearing about her family's tragedy. The accident could also mean that the people who harmed her parents came for her last night but the young master arrived in time to rescue her. Besides, these two girls are fond of throwing themselves at rich men while treating cleaners with disdain. Their bloody and muddy clothes must have made the staff despise them. And a proud man used to being worshipped can't swallow that, making him retaliate immediately. He didn't leave after causing trouble which means he has backing. And most importantly, he didn't look at me with lewd gaze. Most men immediately lose composure when they see me, but he met my gaze without the slightest signs of faltering. This can only mean that he's used to being around beautiful and powerful women. He can't be a beggar. His disposition doesn't look like an insecure and terrified bum.’

“You have been staring at me for a long time. What? Do you want to attack me too?” Alvin asked interrupting the manager.

She immediately gave him a beautiful smile.

“You must be joking, young master. Why will I attack an esteemed client? Please, come with us. However, to shop in this section, you have to make a deposit which ranges from two hundred thousand dollars to one million dollars in trust. So that in the case where by a cloth being tested is damaged it could be settled amicably, and money for repair would be deducted. It could also be considered tier one membership f*e.” She said, still smiling.

The deposit was a big lie, but she wanted to test if he had the money to pay.

“Okay.” Alvin said without thinking much, and brought out the card.

“System, is the card ready for use?”

“Of course, will I give you a dummy card? It can work on any machine.”

Alvin offered the card to the manager to inspect it.

‘Gold rimmed black card issued by the world bank? In this whole world, there are less than ten people qualified to have it. It's only below the supreme platinum which has not been issued yet. Thank goodness I came out on time. Otherwise, our store would have lost a big cash cow.’ The manager said mentally, her shrew business mind dancing for joy.

“Go bring the withdrawal machine immediately.” She barked at the sales attendant.

The sales attendant grudgingly obeyed, waiting for the card to decline.

“Young master, how much should we withdraw?” She asked, smiling at Alvin.

“How much will be enough to give her a make over? I don't think we remembered to take her clothes along.” He said, looking at her with his brows furrowed.

“One million will be enough.”

“Make it two million, I will also pick a few things for myself.”

The moment Alvin said this, the two sales attendants began to laugh.

“You want to withdraw two million dollars? Do you even have two thousand dollars?” One of them asked, their voice dripping with disdain.

The manager immediately slapped the speaker, and then swiped the card.

“Payment successful, two million dollars received.” The machine announced.

The hearts of the sales attendants and the security guard who have been standing to the side immediately skipped a few beats.

“Impossible! The machine must be faulty.” The sales attendants shouted simultaneously.

The manager slapped them in exasperation, wondering why they wanted to ruin their stores chance of being the first to make massive sales this morning.

“Get lost immediately.” She shouted, and the two sales attendants turned grudgingly to obey.

“Did I say they could leave after frightening my little sister? Such arrogant people that judge based on looks alone, flattering the powerful while oppressing the weak, should not be allowed to continue in Starlight malls. If they continue working here, things like what happened here will continue to happen. You will lose lots of customers. Besides, they're unrepentant. The only condition for me to return here after today is if you fire them.” He said coldly, making the two women terrified.

They immediately went down on their knees.

“Please, forgive us young master. We didn't know you're…”

“Exactly. You didn't know I had money. That was why you humiliated us—because our clothes were stained with mud and blood. You haven't changed at all. You don't regret your actions. You regret not realizing sooner that I'm not what you initially thought.” Alvin said and scoffed at them.

“The both of you are fired, go to HR and process your severance immediately. And if you linger here for a second, you will be arrested and made to pay for damages.” The manager interrupted, making one of the girls to collapse.

  • MIREILLE

    Alvin smiled, hoping he looked warm enough to dispel whatever suspicions she might hold towards him due to the multiple rumors swirling around. She didn't bow like others, her shoulders were squared, jaw held high, having that aristocratic pride radiating from her in waves.Alvin’s eyes slightly narrowed. “Miss Jonathan, the way you stare at me, do you have a misunderstanding about me? Or have we clashed before?” Mireille barely suppressed an eye roll. Although the movement was so brief, the vigilant Alvin still caught it before she stopped herself. “How do you want me to look at you, chairman Kent?” She took a step closer, and bent slightly to bring her face closer to Alvin's. “Like this?”Alvin was stunned by her boldness. She moved away the next second, and he gasped in anger. Murong Wuque grabbed his wrist, stopping him from saying anything. He hissed and kept quiet. She stepped back and shook her head. “If you expect me to pander to you and flatter you, I'm sorry, you got th

    Natalie wasn't the only one stunned, the rest were. Even Elena had dropped her current task to listen properly. “This.. This is indeed a very tough question.” She replied, her brows scrunched up in deep thoughts. After three minutes of silence, she shook her head. “I might obey the first time, due to panic and desperation. However, harming artists to protect my interest is something I will never do. If the situation turns dire, and there's no way out, I will have to find the chairman and come clean. His reaction will determine how things proceed.”Alvin nodded, sucking his teeth. “What if the chairman ends up being dismissive, and arrests you instead after coming clean? Or even twists the narrative to make you seem evil and ungrateful.”“Then I would have done my part. No matter how I get punished, at least my heart will be light. I would just need to find ways to send my family to safety. If having a good life involves hurting others, it's probably not worth it.”Alvin turned to Mu

  • QUESTIONS THAT FEELS LIKE DEATH TRAPS

    It was late evening when the shareholders were finally allowed to leave. Most returned the money they took, recorded a video apologizing to employees who they had hurt at one time or another, and wrote a statement of understanding which was signed and also thumbprinted, left under the able care of Alvin. The only exceptions were Lily Wen, Katarina and Director Britney. Because the amount they stole was large, they were unable to provide it at the spot. So the public security bureau had to come take them away, pending when they figured out a suitable payment plan. Director Britney was already calling in favors to come up with the amount. The funniest thing was that none of them agreed to sell their shares as they initially threatened, knowing that the shares were precious and would only keep appreciating over time. Alvin made every single shareholder sign away their management and voting rights, only letting them sit back and collect dividends every month. However, deep inside

    This time Miss. Gretchen was the first person to check her phone, and she gasped. Somehow, a video clip of Director Britney threatening to drag Alvin to every bureau known to man surfaced online with the tag “SWE's board of directors threathen to hurt the chairman if he doesn't drop the embezzlement charges against them. Insider suspects Lily Wen is Mr. Britney’s secret lover.” “Leaked news suggests that over twenty billion have been stolen by a combined efforts of the executives, with Lily Wen diverting more than half the amount to her secret boyfriend’s company, Dolcy studios. Is the entertainment industry about to experience a power change?” “It's over. It's over. Yes I'm finished.” Lily collapsed to the floor, totally losing her mind. With everything going on, if she gets fired by SW entertainment, no company would dare hire her again, talk more of giving her an important post. If she was unable to turn this situation around, she would become destitute, saying a permanent b

    The people around were confused. No matter what threat they used on Alvin, he remained unyielding. Lily stepped forward. “Chairman Kent. I think we should calm down and reason like adults. Even if you had the means to purchase their shares…which I know you don't…such a huge amount of shares moving hands would cause a disturbance in the stock market which might have a domino effect. All the subsidiaries under our SW might also suffer the consequence. The best course of action now…” “And who gave a criminal the right to speak here?” Murong Wuque interrupted. Lily turned to him, stunned. Others were equally shocked. His voice had been calm and low, but when it fell, it seemed like swords landing on their heads. Lily was especially resentful. Everything happening now stemmed from Murong Wuque. Alvin wouldn't have launched an investigation if not for his stupid comments. “And why do you keep interrupting? Everyone here has a connection to SW. Why are you… a stranger… here causing

    Back in the office“Lily alone diverted twelve billion, fifteen million, seven hundred and eighty thousand. Director Britney, excluding the gains from the poached movies and stars used with low pay, the cash diverted to you came up to a billion. For Kensington, yours wasn't much, five hundred million, the Pierce family, two hundred million excluding bribes received from Lily and her spawns, the list goes on and on.”Murong Wuque motioned to Tiffany who accepted a stack of documents from him. He had created folders for everyone guilty of embezzlement, in addition to the amounts they owe SW and the things they have done. Lily's file was especially enormous, followed by Katarina and Director Britney. Their pictures were included, and at the back tagged index, records of their other crimes and scandals which had nothing to do with SW, but had severe legal and social implications were added, as if trying to pressure them using the evidence collected. “Lily, you have three days to gather
