Chapter 235 Going Too Far
"Kenny, let me tell you. The young people from the Harris family are simply going too far. Your Number One Store has been turned upside down by them, and business is suffering. If the main person in charge had permitted us to take action, I would have dealt with them long ago!" In the car, Magnus said indignantly to Kenny.
"When did Lucien have the guts to cause trouble in my place? Is he tired of living?" Kenny's face turned dark as he snorted coldly.
"I think Ethan is definitely behind this! Without his direction, how could Lucien have such guts? And Lucien dares to cause trouble at Number One Store because he thinks you're still lying in the hospital and can't do anything to him! He probably didn't expect you to be discharged so soon!" Magnus continued to fan the flames.
"Ethan, Lucien." Hearing Ethan's name, Kenny's whole demeanor changed. He angrily muttered Ethan's name, making Magnus feel as if the temperature around them had dropped several degrees.
However, Kenny didn't notice the smirk on Magnus's face at that moment.
Meanwhile, Ethan had already left Skyline Center with three girls.
"Finally, we don't have to keep shopping. Where are we going next?" After two days of shopping at Skyline Center, Sarah was already tired of it. As soon as they left, she asked Ethan.
"Don't rush! I have someone coming to meet us!" Just as Ethan finished speaking, an Audi pulled up in front of them.
"Isn't that Edward's car?" Sarah recognized it immediately and saw Lysander getting out of the car.
"Mr. Wilson, ladies, please get in the car!"
Ethan and the three girls got into the car, and Lysander drove towards Elm Street.
"We just left Skyline Center, and now you want to go to Number One Store. That's Kenny's personal property. Why are you going there?" Hearing that Ethan wanted to go to the Number One Store, Chloe frowned.
"Of course, to save someone! Lucien and his group are at Number One Store!" Ethan explained calmly.
"You sent them to Number One Store? Kenny will hurt them if he finds out!" Sarah immediately became anxious.
"Don't worry. Lucien and the others have protection. Otherwise, why do you think I had him go talk to Percival first?" Ethan reminded her.
"Grandpa actually agreed to let Lucien and the others mess around with you! Kenny hates you to the core now. He might hold back against you, but not necessarily against Lucien and the others. Even if Grandpa sent people to protect them, it might not be enough!" Sarah reminded him worriedly.
Previously, when Kenny was still in the hospital, there was less to worry about. But now Kenny had been discharged!
"That's why we're going there now! Don't worry, I won't let anything happen to him!" Ethan confidently assured her.
Kenny's Number One Store was a comprehensive shopping mall. Following Ethan's instructions, Lucien and his group were conducting a consumer rights protection operation there.
Using such despicable tactics is the lowest and most obnoxious way to harm others, akin to framing and entrapment, resembling a deceitful scheme. Usually, people did this for money, but Ethan's purpose was different!
"You posted a tenfold compensation for fake goods. This watch, worth 180 thousand dollars, is fake, so shouldn't you compensate me 1.8 million dollars?"
"The TV I just bought burned out the circuit board as soon as I plugged it in. How poor is your quality? Who are you trying to fool?"
"Why are there bubbles in this diamond ring? Everyone, take a close look. It is a fake diamond, and the craftsmanship is so rough! You can see it with a magnifying glass!"
"Sir, this watch is undeniably a limited edition. We have the certificate. How could it be fake?"
"We will immediately send the TV for inspection. If it is a quality issue, we will compensate you double!"
"Sir, this diamond ring definitely wasn't sold from our counter. Don't make baseless accusations here!"
"How is it baseless? I even have the receipt from your store!"
Such disputes and rights protection actions were happening all over Number One Store under Lucien's lead.
Whether true or false, these incidents kept attracting a crowd of onlookers, and many people naturally believed them, which inevitably affected the daily sales of the entire store.
The Ashford family members were mindful of Lucien and his group's identities.
However, Dorian had previously ordered that no one should intervene, leaving them utterly frustrated and forced to let Lucien and his group cause trouble.
Several managers of Number One Store were in the monitoring room, observing Lucien and his group's every move.
At that moment, Magnus and Kenny suddenly burst in.
"Mr. Kenny Ashford, you're finally back!"
The managers' eyes lit up when they saw Kenny and gathered around him.
"The Harris family is bullying us, and all you do is to watch from the monitoring room?"
Kenny questioned angrily.
"Mr. Ashford, the main person in charge instructed us not to take action previously. We had no choice but to follow orders." The managers explained to Kenny with bitter expressions.
"My dad may tolerate them, but I'm not so lenient. This Number One Store is under my management! If the Harris family dares to bully us here, they must pay the price. Detain all of them. That's my order. If anything goes wrong, I'll take responsibility. Now go!"
Kenny had been holding back his anger at Skyline Center. Even if he couldn't touch Ethan, he wanted to vent his frustration on Lucien and his group.
"Didn't you hear what Mr. Ashford said? Hurry up!" Magnus urged, glaring at them.
"Alright, with Mr. Ashford's backing, we'll make the Harris family youngsters understand the cost of offending us today!" The managers gritted their teeth and eagerly left the monitoring room with their people.
They had endured enough and were itching to teach Lucien and his group a lesson!
Meanwhile, Lysander had driven Ethan and the three girls to the underground parking lot of Number One Store.
"Lysander, I need your help to put on a show. Don't worry; I won't ask you to do anything against your principles, but you might need to take a break afterward. Is everything okay with Edward?" Ethan asked Lysander with a smile.
"He told me to follow your instructions. He believes you'll handle things appropriately. I'll head in first." Lysander nodded with a smile.
After Lysander left the car, Chloe looked at Ethan in confusion and asked, "Do you have Lysander step in to use Edward's identity to scare Kenny and rescue Lucien and the others?"
"Why make it so complicated to rescue them? I can handle it myself. There's no need for extra steps." Ethan shook his head with a mischievous smile.
"You're not planning to mess with Kenny again, right?" Sarah seemed to realize something and asked with wide eyes.
"If I want to mess with him, he has to take the bait first. I hope Kenny doesn't disappoint me this time!" Ethan didn't deny it, and his smile grew even brighter.
"What are you talking about?" Chloe asked, still puzzled.
"He's having Lysander step in to use his identity as leverage! He's planning to drag the Walker family into this mes
