The Boss Lady
I felt no stirring in my heart. I wasn't the Virgin Mary; forgiveness didn't come easily to me, especially after being insulted and scorned.
If I forgave them now, it would only be foolish of me. Besides, I knew these types of people all too well. Their nature was hard to change. They had mocked my appearance, called me a thief, and now they were saluting me?
I regarded them with indifference. “I will not forgive you. The lesson you're learning today is that you should never judge a person by their appearance.”
With that said, I turned away from the shop assistants, no longer giving them any attention. I addressed Manager Harper, who still looked at me as though I were some deity. “Mr. Manager, I leave it in your hands.”
“Of course, Miss Lewiston,” Manager Harper nodded hastily. “I will ensure this mistake does not happen again.”
I nodded slightly and turned to leave. They had assumed I was an easy target, someone they could bully. Little did they know about my background and support. The realization of how their attempt to curry favor with Judy had backfired left some of them desperate.
“Miss Judy, we only offended your sister because we were trying to help you. Please don't abandon us.”
“Yeah, Miss Judy, she's your sister! With your boyfriend and wealth, help us out. Make her reconsider!”

Looking at Alice walk away, Judy was completely stunned.
She was full of astonishment and clenched Gaston's arm in wonder. “Gaston dear, what is going on?”
She wanted to show her superiority in front of Alice and take the opportunity to suppress and humiliate her.
But now…..
She found that the limelight had shone on Alice instead.
Judy couldn't accept such a big shame.
For a moment, her expression got darker. “Why is that Manager so polite to sister? Or did she sleep with him?”
He had actually fired seven salesgirls for Alice. Where could Alice possibly have such high prestige?
Gaston was also surprised. He watched Alice walk to the door of the shop and his face got darker at the thought of a certain possibility.... Could she really be sleeping with the manager?? But the Alice he knew could never do that
“Ms. Judy, you have to help us.”
The Salesgirls were still crying and begging Judy.
Judy was so annoyed by the harassment that she said impatiently with an icy face, “You are all fired. What does it have to do with me? Don't bother me again, I can't help you, I didn't instigate you to talk to Alice rudely!”
She snorted as she thought about it, she? Beg Alice? That was impossible in this life.
These salesgirls had supporter Judy because she was a VIP customer and patronized their store often.
But now that they were fired and Judy was still reluctant to help them, a few of them were naturally no longer polite to her.
Gaston was afraid that the Salesgirls were too aggressive and would harm the child in her stomach, so he reached out and immediately held her firmly in his arms. He put on an icy face and looked at the Salesgirls fiercely. “You guys were fired, what does it have to do with Judy? Did she make this happen? Don't harass her anymore, or I won't be sit still!”
Gaston's face sank, and his aura was really a little scary. The Salesgirls were afraid of thinking of his identity and didn't dare to keep making trouble.
They stared at Judy resentfully.
“What are you guys still doing? Go now!” Manager Harper shouted at them angrily.
Manager Harper pointed at a few shop assistants and said angrily, “I have notified the Finance Department, get your pay and leave immediately.”
“Manger…”
"Who told you to dare offend Miss Lewiston! You don't know what's good for you! Get lost immediately! Or I'll call the police”
The Salesgirls left resentfully.
Manager Harper looked at Gaston and Judy who were still standing in the shop and quietly cheered them on.
He knew who Gaston Veriland was, of course, he was a top-notch actor in the country. He could be regarded as quite a prestigious figure.
However, compared to President Clinton, he was simply not enough.
He wasn't even qualified to be mentioned.
Manager Harper gave them a sympathetic look and turned to leave.
“Manger…”
But he heard a low sound from behind him. Manager Harper looked back and saw that the woman in Gaston's arms was calling him. JUDY
He froze. “What's the matter?”
Judy disengaged from Gaston's arms, held his arm instead, and asked softly, “I'm Alice's sister. Manager Harper you just fired some of the Salesgirls who didn't understand the rules for my sister. I want to thank you in her place.”
Manager Harper froze again and his eyebrows shot up. “It is my honor to work for Ms. Alice! I wouldn't dare to ask her to thank me.”
When Judy heard this, her expression grew darker again.
Alice. How prestigious was she even?
Manager Harper was being so humble and respectful to her are they even sleeping together?
She was very uncomfortable and bit her lip tightly. “Does Manager Harper have a good relationship with my cousin's sister? How did you meet her?”
This is where Only Manager Harper realizes her intention. He could tell that she was thanking him to dig for more information.
Suddenly, a little disapproval appeared on his face.
When he spoke again, his attitude was a little cold. “It has nothing to do with you. But since you are her sister, I can advise you. Ms. Alice is not a person you can offend. You should be kind to her in the future.... And about our relationship, you can ask her directly since she's your sister like you said"
After saying this, Manager Harper turned and left.
Judy felt this was a slap to get face.
She gritted her teeth and said, “Gaston dear, did you hear what he just said? So, do you think big sister has really gotten intimate with the manager?
“That's impossible.”
Gaston's face was downcast. “Alice is not such a vain person. She wouldn't do such a thing.”
“But…” Judy still wanted to say something.
Gaston suddenly looked back at her. “Baby, I have known Alice for a full ten years. I know her so well, I know she can never do such a thing"
"She has never asked me for anything before. Even when I gave her an expensive gift, she would be distressed over how much I spent.”
Judy saw that when Gaston was talking about these things, he had a solemn look in his eyes. The jealousy in her heart was ignited instantly. Gaston said she loved her, but when he talked about Alice, his eyes still held so much longing and some hint of love.
Alice did not take the initiative to ask him for money and was reluctant to spend money, so she was not a vain woman. And she?
Judy often asked him for gifts, and every time she asked, it was something expensive.
Was he trying that she was vain?
Thinking of it this way, Judy's expression got even worse and she grew extremely angry inside.
But she just didn't dare to flare up in front of Gaston.
“Let's go, didn't you say you wanted to go to the restaurant on the top floor of the Global Center for Western Food?” Gaston probably realized that what he said wasn't right, and when he spoke, his voice was much softer. “After we eat, we can go jewelry shopping again. Didn't you fancy a necklace before? We can go buy it later.”
Judy's expression got better.
She looked up at Gaston's young and handsome face, and finally, the dissatisfaction in her heart dissipated. So what if Alice was really intimate with the small-ranked Manager? The person she was intimate with was probably an old man. How could a terrible old man compare to Gaston?
Just when she felt a little sense of superiority, the other two Salesgirls in the shop came over and apologized. “Our apologies, Ms. Judy, Mr. Gaston The clothes in our shop cannot be sold to you. We have not swiped your card and we will return it to you.”
"What?"
