Chapter 40 64 % Beatrice was crying pitifully , which broke Myras heart . She pulled a long face , and upon seeing that the bodyguards not far away remained still , she scolded , Didnt you hear what Beatrice said ? Get her ! Wait ! Just as things were getting out of control , an anxious voice came from the door . Everyone looked towards the door and saw a chubby middle aged man with glasses . Probably because he rushed over in a hurry , his forehead was covered with a thin layer of sweat . It wasnt the first time Myra came here , and she recognized that was Dean , Rainbow Trades manager . She snorted and was about to mock . Yet Dean didnt even spare her a glance . He ran to Shannon , bowed deeply , and said loudly , Greetings , Mrs. Ill have someone kick those troublemakers out right now . Theyll be on our blacklist and will never be allowed to step in here again . Beatrices expression changed at once as she shouted , Why are you treating her with such respect ? Hearing this , Dean said to her , Mrs. Rowe owns this place . Myras face twisted . She looked at Shannon and then Dean in astonishment . Suddenly , she laughed out of anger . Shannon , you lied to me ? She paid more than double the price for those stuff at the store owned by Shannon . At the thought of that , she felt so annoyed that she almost wanted to puke . Shannon looked at her indifferently , smiling , When did I lie to you ? Even if I owned this store , Id still have to pay for what I take . You , Mrs. Gross , were so eager to fight me for it and willingly offered double the price . I didnt twist your arm . Myras vision went black . If she hadnt been holding the counter , she would have fallen to the floor already . Being mocked , Beatrice lost it . The pain in her belly caused by Shannons kick seemed to intensify , and she snapped , Shannon , good for you . Youve got some balls to trick us . Turning to the bodyguards , she ordered , Smash everything here . Turning back to Shannon , she provoked , her eyes filled with madness , You love money , dont you ? Fine . Whatever gets broken , Ill pay for every last piece ! Dean instantly widened his eyes and shouted , Security ! Wheres the security ? The bodyguards were about to smash the store . Seeing that , the security guards , who had been waiting , rushed forward . Though Beatrices bodyguards were good at fighting , the security guards here were veterans hired by Zachary . Therefore , those bodyguards were defeated easily and soon subdued . Dean was sullen . The Gross familys status no longer mattered to him ; holding his phone , he said angrily , This is outrageous ! No one can make a scene here , including you , the Grosses . You can explain yourselves to the cops when they get here . Complacent , Beatrice said , The cops ? They can do nothing to us . My dad is Humphrey Gross . Shannon glanced at her and said coldly , Youre so stupid , Beatrice . The law doesnt care who your dad is . You break it , and even if your dad were the president , it wouldnt save you . Given the big scene Beatrice had made , Dean didnt dare to have her in the store at all ; he asked the security guards to take her and Myra out more or less forcibly . 1/3 A 15:17 Mon , Dec Chapter 401 Looking at those other customers present , Beatrice and Myra were furious and flustered at the thought that what happened here today might be all over the world tomorrow . Glaring at Shannon , Beatrice said , Shannon , you set me up . Wait and see . Im not going to let this slide . Shannon didnt take her threat seriously at all . She snorted , Sure . Come at me however you want . But you better figure out a theory to tell the police why you were going to smash the store . Soon , the police arrived . They quickly pulled out the security footage from the store and took Beatrice , Myra , and their bodyguards away . Dean respectfully saw Shannon off . Looking at the sweat on his face , she nodded . No need to feel stressed . The stores run pretty well , honestly . Especially your two employees they handled the situation quite professionally . Each of them will be rewarded 500 dollars . Meeting his expectant eyes , she added , You did well , too . Im glad to have you here . Youll receive double your bonus at the end of the year . Deans eyes immediately lit up as he shouted , Thank you , Mrs. Rowe ! Shannon blinked , utterly unamused . Could you maybe not yell next time ? Im still young , and my hearing works just fine . Carrying the beautifully wrapped box , Shannon slid into her car , ready to head over to the Porters place . Just then , her phone buzzed it was Randall . She was stunned for a second before picking up the phone . Hubby ? Randall was surprised to hear her call him that so naturally . He cleared his throat and then said , Where are you ? Shannon clipped her phone to the car mount and put on the earbuds . Im out and about . Was just planning to head to the Porters in a bit . Why ? Whats up ? On the phone , his voice was deep , magnetic , and a bit domineering . Come to Regal Enterprises . Well go together . Chuckling , she deliberately snorted , Really ? Youre going with me ? Why didnt you say so ? Randall fell silent for a second . The scene where they talked about this came back to him . He still remembered clearly what she was wearing that day . You really dont know the reason ? he asked . Smiling , she said in a sweet voice , How am I supposed to know if you dont tell me ? He sneered , Cut the games . Speak properly . She smiled even more brightly , What do you mean ? Arent I speaking properly ? Hubby , dont you like this side of me ? Shannon , Randall said , his voice dropping dangerously low , are you trying to seduce me ? Yep , you caught me red handed . So … what are you going to do about it ? she admitted and giggled as she switched her GPS to navigate to his office . Write a paper , he said flatly . Hearing his words , Shannon was taken aback . What ? she asked . He continued , Arent you a graduate student ? Write a paper then Shannon had no idea how to respond to that .
