Darcy had grown into a strong woman in the business world and she learned how to see the dark side of people. If Paladia Moose had the nerve to hit and throw out its customers, the store manager, Vilma, must more or less be involved. Vilma might be smiling but it might be a mask that veiled her true intentions. Darcy did not want to settle the dispute in private. Once she entered Vilma’s turf, she would be in a disadvantageous position. Vilma did not expect Darcy to reject. Anger flashed in her eyes for a moment. She smiled awkwardly and said, “Alright then, let’s talk here. I wonder what you propose, Ms. Quint.” Darcy said, “It’s simple. Refund us for the faulty sweaters. I want the storekeeper who ordered the security to throw my mother and aunt out, to apologize. And bring out the storekeeper who slapped my mother. Let me slap her twice.” Previously, Darcy would never choose violence, at most an apology would be enough to solve the dispute. However, her mother was st
Vilma looked proud and confident. There was no politeness in her tone or actions. Darcy was considered famous in Lilyrose. It was that reason that made Vilma offer Darcy to settle the matter in her office privately. Yet Darcy chose to remain in public, so Vilma no longer decided to hold back either. Darcy might be well-known but Vilma had a background of her own as well. With Paladia Moose having her back, she was not afraid of Darcy. Darcy said firmly, “What are you trying to say, Ms. Hoshi? Why is there a non-refund policy here in Arcadia? Does the policy apply in other countries as well?” Vilma smiled. “No. Only in Arcadia. We have written the policy in black and white. When our customers purchase our products, they will be notified and asked to agree with the terms and conditions. “Ms. Quint, your mother should have seen the T&C and signed it.” Agnes and Agatha were speechless. “What T&C? We’ve never seen it before!” Vilma smiled. She shot a gaze at her storekeepe
Vilma’s expression turned cold. She bellowed, “Who are you? How dare you talk to me like that?” “Ms. Hoshi, this is my husband, Kaze. What do you mean by that? Who do you think you are? Why can’t he talk to you like that?” Darcy was delighted by Kaze’s arrival and she gained confidence. She quickly retorted Vilma’s question. “Ms. Quint’s husband? The useless guy that married into your family?” Vilma scrutinized Kaze with disgust. She said, “Are you trying to cause a problem here like your wife? “Once our product leaves the store, they are not refundable. It is clearly stated in our policy and your mother-in-law signed it as well. If you insist on getting a refund, bring it up to our HQ,” Vilma said without the slightest courtesy. Paladia Moose was a multinational company. If Kaze were to bring the issue up to the headquarters, he might be beaten up before he even got there. Kaze did not even look at Vilma. He looked at the storekeepers and then bellowed, “Which one of you
While Vilma was threatening Kaze, her call got through. “Jim, someone is causing trouble at my store and he slapped my employees! Call security at once! He must pay for what he did!” Vilma then hung up the phone before the person could reply. “You bastard! I’ve called for help! You should look where you are standing! How dare you challenge me on my turf! I will teach you a lesson today!” The two storekeepers, whom Kaze slapped, stared at him fiercely as they covered their faces. “Kaze Lee! Do you know who our manager’s husband is? He’s the GM here in Golden Edge!” “You came to our store, caused problems, and slapped us! You and your wife will pay for this, or else you won’t even be walking out of the mall’s gate!” The two storekeepers continued to be rude and shouted back at Kaze. Vilma did not stop them. Quite the opposite, she was delighted when they revealed her husband’s identity. Kaze frowned. “Golden Edge’s GM?” Darcy, Agnes, and Agatha were similarly shocked.
“Does your boss know you are this rude and arrogant?” Kaze shook his head. He then pulled his phone out and called Winnie. “The GM of Golden Edge is someone named Jim, right? His wife is rude and she’s calling the security to slap my face off my skull. “I don’t know if Jim has the same idea, but I believe you know what to do.” Kaze then hung up the phone. He acquired Golden Edge as a gift for Brenda and this would be his first time in this mall. It had just been days since the acquisition and the general manager already made himself the lord of the castle. He even brought in a brand like Paladia Moose. Kaze believed the man was not fit to be a manager. However, Vilma saw Kaze’s action of making the phone call as a bluff. “You useless shit. You keep calling whoever you want. When my husband is here, I’ll see what you got!” she mocked Kaze harshly. “Move out of the way!” Suddenly, loud shouts came from behind the crowd. A group of security guards in uniform rush
“That’s right. That’s totally right!” Jim nodded and then signaled his men with a wave of his hand. “Security, get him!” Following Jim’s order, the security captain led the guards forward and said, “Young man, since Golden Edge was acquired by our big boss, everyone knows not to cause problems here in the mall. “You are the first one since the acquisition and you made my job meaningful.” The security captain stared at Kaze with an unfriendly gaze as he approached closer. Kaze was unfazed. “Are you sure you want to do this? I hope you won’t regret it.” Pft! Vilma laughed out loud. With disdain, she said, “A useless guy who married into his wife’s family, how can you be so pretentious? Are you kidding me?” “Punk, I wish you could keep this up after they teach you a lesson.” Jim scoffed. He shot a gaze at the security captain. “Get him!” “Grab him!” the security captain said to his men. Two security guards went up to Kaze and tried to seize him. As the security gua
Vilma even pictured the scene where her son married Brenda. If that came true, then the mall would be the Parkson family’s property. “No! I don’t want to play with you! You bully my godfather! You are bad guys!” The polite little girl turned away angrily and rejected Jim and Vilma’s offer. “Your godfather? Who is your godfather?” Jim and Vilma were stunned. “Godfather!” Brenda then ran over to Kaze and leaped into his embrace. Kaze carried her and the little girl curled her arms around his neck, kissing him on the cheek. It was obvious that the girl liked Kaze more. “W-What?” Jim and Vilma reacted as if they saw a ghost. Even a blind man could tell Kaze was Brenda’s godfather. Kaze spent three billion to acquire Golden Edge as a present for Brenda. In other words, Kaze was the real boss of the mall. Jim and Vilma’s faces turned pale. Kaze did not look at them. He chatted with the little girl, making her laugh. The girl’s laughter did not fit the tense
Seeing her husband kneeling before Kaze, begging and shaking, Vilma was deeply shaken. Given their current situation, if she refused to apologize, her husband might lose his job, so she had to endure the grievance. Vilma took a deep breath and went to Kaze with a fake smile. “Mr. Lee, I am terribly sorry. I hereby apologize to you, Ms. Quint, as well as her mother and aunt.” “Cut the crap. Just refund us,” Kaze said. He was carrying Brenda in his arms and did not bother to look at Vilma. If it were not for Brenda, he would have asked the security guards to slap Vilma. The woman was rude and arrogant, claiming she would slap his face off his skull. Her apology was not sincere but her hand was forced. “Mr. Lee, I might be the store manager but I do not have the right to process the refund either,” Vilma said with a bitter smile. Kaze might be the real boss of Golden Edge but Paladia Moose, a multinational company, was much more powerful. The non-refundable policy was
