"Miss, please add this dress as well as the other clothes Janice has tried on to the bill! I'll take all of them!" Leon declared confidently. "Yes, Sir! I'll put it on your tab right now!" the salesgirl was absolutely over the moon. She quickly placed the clothes into a paper bag, the grin on her face so wide it was as though her cheeks would split apart at any moment. "Wait, miss! I don't want any of them…" Janice quickly stepped forward to stop her. "Janice, you look amazing in these clothes. Why would you not want them?" Leon was puzzled by this. "I…" Janice's face was red with embarrassment, but she could no longer hide her humiliation. She whispered to him, "I don't have that much money…" "No money?" the color drained from the salesgirl's face. She thought Leon was a wealthy man from how generously he acted just now, but now, she seemed to come to the realization that these two fooled her all along! "Sir, do you still want these clothes?" she asked, the smile froz
Janice's face was etched with worry, hoping that Leon would take her advice and snap out of this before it was too late. Leon did not know how to react to this. He could tell that Janice misunderstood the nature of his job, but he knew that she just tried to help, so he did not try to go against her. "Alright, I promise I won't do it again," he said, smiling. The only reason he got into the business was that he tried to establish the Energy Convergence Circle, and he knew that this industry was not what it seemed on the outside; if he were to get involved even more and other people discovered that he was able to sense the rocks' spiritual energy, the consequences would be dire! If that happened, he could not even guarantee his safety. Therefore, that was the first and last time he ever attempted to gamble on gemstones, and he never once hoped this business would bring him wealth. "That's good." Janice was relieved to hear this. A split second later, however, she seemed t
Janice chuckled as she said this, but after a moment, she realized how her statement could be easily misunderstood, and blushed in embarrassment.Leon did not take it too seriously at all and instead pointed at a cosmetic store a short distance away from them. "Didn't you want to buy some makeup too, Janice? That store over there looks nice, why don't we go take a look?""Alright." Janice agreed, and the two of them strode over together. This was a chain cosmetics store that mainly sold mid and high-end makeup products, including well-known international brands that featured skin care products, perfume, and cosmeceutical products as well.The two of them walked into the store.Perhaps it was a Saturday, but the entire store was packed with people, and the mere few sales assistants available seemed to be overwhelmed by the crowd. Leon and Janice circled the store a few times, but even then, no sales assistant came up to attend to them. After walking around the store for a whil
According to his calculations, the final suggested selling price would only be 1000 dollars, at most, but now, this store was selling it at 1700 dollars, so how could he not be shocked by the price? "You call this expensive? What a joke! If you're so broke you can't afford anything in here, don't step into the store!" the salesgirl scowled at him. She was very clear in warning them not to disturb her unless they genuinely wanted to buy a product, and now that he wasted her time, she could not help feeling infuriated. "Um…" Leon was a little sheepish at this. There was still about 10 million dollars in his bank account, and truth be told, a few thousand dollars did not matter much to him at all. He was just a little shocked at the difference between the factory and final selling prices, and could not seem to figure out what went wrong. After all, Elegante Group sold each set to Wick Group at 400 dollars apiece, and the only explanation for this outrageous price that was W
Brody and Marilyn made their way toward them, his arms wrapped intricately around her waist. It was a while since Leon saw Marilyn, and at first glance, he could tell that she gained weight. Even though she was wearing loose clothing in an attempt to hide her figure, one could not deny the fact that she was heavily pregnant. "Mr. Sullivan, I didn't know you'd be coming." The salesgirl's attitude changed entirely as soon as she saw him. "I'm here on a surprise inspection." Brody's expression was just as haughty and arrogant as ever. This department store belonged to Sullivan Enterprises, and all the branches in Springfield City were under his supervision as he was the manager overseeing their operations. "What's going on? What happened here?" he asked. "Mr. Sullivan, these people wanted to buy skincare products from Elegante Group yet were complaining about its prices. They were causing a scene…" the salesgirl said, pointing at Leon and the rest with a disgusted look.
"This is my ex-wife and the bastard she slept with!" Leon replied calmly without a single hint of anger or emotion stirring within him. "Oh!" Janice was stunned by this. She heard of Marilyn and Leon's messy divorce, and could not help feeling disgusted at Leon's mistreatment. Even though she was a shy and introverted person, she still could not help feeling angry on Leon's behalf and the expression on her face immediately turned hostile. "Leon, I never thought that you'd find another woman so soon after our divorce. I guess I underestimated your ability to fawn over women and trick them!" Marilyn was fuming at this. She was certain that Leon would get on horribly after their divorce and would never be able to find a mate again, but to her surprise, he got involved with one of the most beautiful women in town, Iris Young! Not only that, but now, he seemed to be dating another extremely attractive woman. Both of them were substantially prettier than her, and she was bitter
Leon, with his arm still wrapped around Janice's waist, was about to turn and leave. After all, he already moved past his divorce, and Janice already helped him win his pride back in front of Marilyn and Brody. There was no point lingering on this issue any longer. "Wait, we haven't bought anything yet," Janice whispered in a soft voice that tingled his ears. "The products here are too expensive; we don't have to buy anything! If you want to get something from Elegante Group, I can always get my hands on them. I'll even get you two!" he replied, smiling. Since he was the manufacturer of Elegante Group's products, he knew that he could easily add more serum into the products to make them more effective before gifting them to Janice. "No, I want this! It only costs seventeen hundred dollars. Miss, please give me a set of this!" she declared. She knew that she could not back down; 1700 dollars was not even that much, and she could easily afford it if it meant Leon could wi
Leon sneered.The product of Elegante Group was sold nine hundred and fifty in other malls, but the Sullivan Enterprises had raised the price by a fold in private, which was a serious violation to consumers' rights."So what? Are you going to file a complaint in the industrial and commercial department? Go ahead! Let me tell you something. Sullivan Enterprises has connections with those departments so filing a complaint won't do a thing!" Brody said mockingly.Raising the price of the Elegante Group's product at their branches was a minor offense and even if the government received reports on it, they would not be bothered to act on it; not to mention that the Sullivan Enterprises had run its business in Springfield City for years and had built a strong network. Unless Leon had the power equivalent to a king, he would not be able to cause any damages."Is that so? Just wait and see, then! This time, I am going to shut all the cosmetic stores under the Sullivan Enterprises down!" Le
