Chapter 14
The sales clerk scoffed, “So what? You still can’t afford the bags in our store, can you?”
“Who says she can’t afford it!”
A magnetic male voice came from outside, filling the room with a strong presence. A cold light flashed in his eyes. Everyone looked and saw a man with an impressive demeanor striding in, tall and confident, with a scornful smirk on his thin lips, oozing arrogance.
Josefina turned towards the voice, surprised. What was he doing here?
Oliver approached with a steady gait, standing in front of Josefina, his lips parting slightly, his voice magnetic as he spoke, “George, get every single bag in this place and gift them to Ms. Josefina.”
The chatty sales clerk was completely dumbfounded. What was going on? How did this country bumpkin know such a wealthy and imposing man?
Meanwhile, Hattie, having finished a phone call, walked in and spotted Oliver. In the crowd, Oliver’s height and looks were hard to ignore, standing out like a sore thumb.
Not knowing the situation, Hattie approached with a smile. “Oliver, what a coincidence.”
Standing next to Josefina, Hattie didn’t even wait for Oliver to speak, cheerfully introducing them, “Oliver, this is my daughter Josefina. Josie was mixed up at birth, and we’ve only just found her.”
Oliver’s gaze was intense as he stared at Josefina, his eyes dark, his thin lips lifting into a smile. “I’ve met Josefina once before. She saved my grandfather. She’s a lifesaver to our family.”
Hattie was taken aback. She did not know Josefina was skilled in medicine. “Josie, you have medical skills too? My precious girl, you’re so amazing!” Wow, her daughter was truly exceptional!
Just then, George approached with the bill. “Mr. Oliver, everything’s been taken care of. All the bags are wrapped up. Should we send them directly to Ms. Josefina’s house?”
Hattie was shocked again. “What do you mean?”
George explained, “This sales clerk was mocking Ms. Josefina about being a country bumpkin. I don’t know. where she heard it from, but she said Josefina couldn’t afford these bags.”
Hattie glared at the sales clerk, defending Josefina, “How could you mock my precious girl? I’ll have the manager fire you right now!”
The sales clerk was on the verge of tears, desperately trying to explain, “Mrs. Harrison, I didn’t realize she was a great person when I saw her. Please let me off just this once.”
Hattie was fuming, “Let you off? My daughter has been wronged here. Who’s going to bear that? You? You look down on people, and now you think you have the right to speak?”
“Mrs. Harrison, please, I beg you to forgive my ignorance just this once,” the sales clerk was almost kneeling. Hattie’s attitude didn’t change. “Whoever upset my daughter won’t be let off easily! From now on, you’re fired! Pack your things and leave!”
The sales clerk tried to speak, but was dragged away by the manager who had just arrived. She would have never imagined that the girl in cheap clothes was from such a noble family.
The manager scolded her as they walked, “You still have the nerve to beg? Who gave you such audacity? Mrs. Harrison and Mr. Oliver are both here. You wouldn’t have enough lives to pay for this!”
She didn’t want to see this sales clerk’s face in any shopping mall ever again! Hattie was livid. Someone dared to upset her precious daughter. Did they have a death wish?
She had finally found her daughter and was definitely going to back her precious Josie up!
