Chapter 112 Bullying Others
"Andrew? He’s the Johnson family’s heir. No wonder he's so arrogant!”
“I heard the Johnsons has been long planning to enter the jewelry industry and make a fortune. Judging by today's situation, it seems like they're being serious.”
“The Johnson family actually wants this jade fairy. This will be a good show! Do you think this little company would willingly sell it?”
“What if they refuse? With the Johnson family's influence in Novaria, aside from Cloud Group, who’d dare anger them?”
“If that company is lucky enough to be able to sell it, that's fine. However, if the Johnsons just take it away, I bet that company's CEO will be in tears!”
Upon hearing Andrew reveal his identity, the atmosphere in the room became even more excited.
Hannah and Beckett exchanged glances, both seeing the shock in each other's eyes.
“I apologize, Mr. Johnson, but this jade fairy really isn’t for sale. t's only for display today. We're truly sorry!” Hannah, as the person in charge, took the initiative and responded on behalf of the female employee.
“So, you're the owner of this jewelry company?” Andrew looked up and observed Hannah, who was wearing a beige dress. His eyes couldn't help but light up!
No wonder there were rumors going around that she slept with Beckett. With such a hot body, she could make any man's heart race.
“Yes, that's me, Hannah. If you really like this jade fairy, you can just view it through the display,” Hannah nodded and reminded him calmly.
“Don’t you have any ambition? If Mr. Johnson is interested in your things, it's your luck! You should appreciate it!” Suddenly, a brazen woman’s voice echoed. Her arrogant tone made everyone turn their heads.
Gabriella and Sharon appeared at this moment. Gabriella, in particular, stared at Hannah with scorn.
Andrew was happy to have Gabriella with him right now. This woman could now say the words he was afraid of saying, filling him with superiority.
Hannah never expected Andrew to have such a low-class woman. Immediately, she frowned discontentedly.
“Ma’am, please speak with a bit more respect. Mr. Johnson is indeed a big figure, but we should still be reasonable, no?”
Gabriella mocked and defamed without restraint, “Pfft... Look at you. Do you even have the right to reason with him? I don't know how many days it took for you to sleep with people just to get jade fairy, but you still expect me to respect you? What a joke!”
“You... You shameless...”
Hannah never expected this woman to be so unfiltered, to the point of being outrageous. Even if she was spreading rumors, she should know her limits.
Trembling with anger, it was evident Hannah was deeply angered by the other party's words.
“I didn’t sleep around like you did, so who's the shameless one here? Everyone can tell, no? How could your small company get a piece of jade worth a billion dollars?” Gabriella sneered, inciting the others present.
She just wanted to vent out her womanly jealousy, mixed with her desire to please Andrew and help achieve his goal.
Her words sparked discussions among the others.
“Although this woman is somewhat rude, she’s not entirely wrong!”
“I can't understand how this small company could have such a valuable gem. Could this woman be saying the truth?”
“Don't you know? It was already discussed privately before!”
“It's been going around in our circles. They say Hannah slept with Beckett and used this jade fairy to raise her company's reputation. However, even if she wants to sell it, she wouldn't dare to!”
The discussions grew increasingly intense, with no attempt to hide their words. This made Hannah and Beckett both feel genuinely uncomfortable.
Beckett's face darkened on the spot.
“What nonsense!”
With an angry yell, Beckett couldn't bear it any longer and stepped forward, pointing at Gabriella as he yelled, “How dare you tarnish our reputation like this? The Johnsons will have to give me an explanation, or else I'll file a lawsuit!”
He had been resting in the employee office area, where few people noticed him and nobody recognized him.
However, when he arrived and revealed his identity, it caused quite a sensation.
The people who came to the exhibition still knew of his reputation, even if they had never seen him. They never expected him to be right here in Hannah's booth.
Gabriella was also stunned on the spot. She didn't expect him to hear her groundless accusations.
She even planned on seducing Beckett before this. However, she unknowingly angered him the moment they met. All she could do now was look at Andrew with a mixture of panic and unease.
“So, Mr. Beckett is also here? My girlfriend's mother was only expressing what many people think. Must you stoop to Hannah's level? Are you deliberately going against my family?” Andrew's expression changed as well, but he quickly reacted and scornfully retorted afterward.
“If you have evidence, then show it. I won’t say a word! But if you don’t have any, what difference does it make even if you're from the Johnsons? Is your family entitled to accuse and defame other people?”
“Am I wrong, though? The Johnson family's words is enough evidence!” Andrew's unexpected reaction left everyone startled.
His arrogance made Beckett's breath quicken.
“Mr. Johnson, you've gone too far. There's nothing between me and Mr. Beckett! If you want this jade fairy, you’ll have to leave empty-handed. You're not welcome here! Although my company is small, I won't let anyone bully us!” Hannah said grimly, not mincing her words against Andrew and the others.
“Do you know what happens if you go against my family?” Andrew couldn't believe that Hannah still spoke to him like this, even though she knew his identity. He didn't even care about Beckett, so where did she get her courage from?
“I'm truly amazed today. You want to forcefully buy this jade, intending to snatch other people’s belongings. If we don't give it to you, we’ll be seen as disrespectful?” Infuriated by Andrew, Beckett laughed back mockingly.
“Beckett, don't think that your reputation along with being the association's president means you can be arrogant in front of me. I don’t need to respect you at all! I’ll say it here today; I’ve set my eyes on this jade fairy. If you don’t hand it over, be prepared for bankruptcy and closure!” Andrew angrily threatened, unable to contain his rage.
