Chapter 619
The store owner's eyes fixed on Sophia with unmistakable menace as he delivered the most crucial part of his ultimatum. “And you literally need to arrange full payment to me before forty-eight hours have elapsed from this moment. This is not a negotiation or a payment plan - this is a firm deadline that will not be extended under any circumstances whatsoever.”His tone became even more ominous as he outlined the consequences of failing to meet his demands. “If this payment is not received in full within that specified timeframe, then whatever comes next in terms of legal action, public exposure, and other consequences, you are definitely going to bear the full weight of those repercussions. I will use every resource at my disposal to ensure that you face the maximum possible consequences for your destructive actions.”At that moment, hearing what the boss had just said with such cold finality and devastating financial implications, Sophia felt as if the world had tilted off its axis
Chapter 618
At that moment, hearing what Damien had just proposed with such apparent confidence and conviction, as if he possessed the authority and connections necessary to arrange a meeting with the city's most celebrated hero, Penelope immediately erupted into derisive laughter that echoed through the store with obvious mockery and disbelief.Her laughter was not merely amused but genuinely contemptuous, the kind of cruel amusement reserved for someone who had just witnessed what she considered to be the most ridiculous and pathetic attempt at problem-solving she had ever encountered. Her entire demeanor radiated superiority and scorn as she prepared to demolish what she clearly viewed as Damien's desperate and foolish proposal.“What the hell is this absolute fool even talking about?” she exclaimed with theatrical amazement, gesturing toward Damien as if he were some kind of curiosity that defied rational explanation. “Like, do you seriously think that you can literally just resolve this mas
Chapter 617
At that moment, without wasting another second to contain her obvious delight at witnessing Sophia's complete humiliation and the magnitude of the disaster she had created, Penelope burst into triumphant laughter that echoed through the store with cruel satisfaction. Her amusement was not merely at the situation itself, but at the perfect vindication of everything she had said about Sophia's character and worthiness.“Just imagine - can you actually believe what Sophia has just accomplished through her carelessness?” she exclaimed with theatrical amazement, her voice dripping with mock disbelief. “Just imagine the absolute catastrophe she has created! Something that was specifically meant to actually reward and honor a man of that extraordinary caliber, someone who fought hard and tirelessly to save our entire city from destruction and disaster!”Her gestures became increasingly animated as she warmed to her theme, clearly relishing every word. “Sophia just destroyed his gift - a pri

At that moment, the man's controlled professional demeanor completely shattered as genuine fury replaced his previously measured business-like tone. His face flushed with anger as he turned his full attention toward Sophia, and his voice rose with barely contained rage that echoed through the now-silent antique store.“Does Sophia actually have any comprehension whatsoever of what this particular pot actually meant, not just in monetary terms but in historical and personal significance?” he demanded, his words coming fast and heated as his frustration poured out. “Does she understand the irreplaceable nature of what she has so carelessly destroyed?”His hand gestured emphatically toward the scattered fragments on the floor as he continued his tirade with mounting intensity. “This was not just some decorative piece sitting on a shelf waiting for any customer to purchase! This pot was worth over eighty million dollars - eighty million! - and it represented months of careful acquisiti

At that moment, upon hearing what the manager had just said with such sharp criticism and obvious displeasure about Sophia's apparent naivety regarding the severity of her situation, Penelope could not help but feel a surge of vindictive satisfaction at seeing her rival finally being confronted with the true consequences of her actions. A slow, triumphant smile spread across her features as she realized this was the perfect opportunity to position herself as the responsible party who had helped prevent an even worse situation.With calculated precision and the confidence of someone who knew exactly how to work such situations to her advantage, she moved casually but purposefully through the space between where she had been standing and where the well-dressed man was observing the proceedings. Her movements were deliberate and graceful, designed to draw attention and establish her as someone worthy of respect and consideration.Approaching the man with the practiced poise of someone ac

The sales representative immediately fell silent, her mouth closing mid-sentence as she recognized that her manager had her own way of handling such situations and did not require or desire preliminary explanations from subordinates. The manager's eyes continued scanning the scene with professional assessment, taking in every detail with the practiced eye of someone who had dealt with countless difficult situations in luxury retail.Then, without any further preamble or polite social niceties, she went straight to the heart of the matter with the direct approach of someone who valued efficiency over ceremony. Her voice carried clearly through the now-silent store as she asked the most important question with piercing directness.“Who among them destroyed the pot?”Upon hearing what the manager had just asked with such direct authority and professional urgency, needing to identify the responsible party so that the proper procedures could be initiated immediately, the sales attendant w
