Chapter 218: The Cancellation of the Brown Family and Douglas Family's Marriage Alliance!
Jasmine bit her lip, thinking about the card that Ethan gave her... Would he be unhappy if she bought a bag?
She secretly looked at the bags on the counter and then at the prices...
Forget it, forget it.
What kind of bag costs over three hundred thousand?
It's too terrifying.
"Poor wretch," the manager noticed Jasmine's hesitation and shock, snorted. "The ones on display are all ordinary styles. You can't even afford those, yet you have the nerve to stand here."
The manager pointed at the VIP room where Aria Harper was hidden. "Did you see that place? Don't even think about going there in your whole life unless you spend millions and millions in this store."
Without spending millions in their store, don't even think about entering.
"Don't look down on people," Emily said to the manager, feeling that he was going too far.
"I look down on people? If she can afford this thirty thousand dollar bag, I'll even bark like a dog for you," the manager rolled his eyes. "If you can't afford it, get out and stop lowering the level of our store."
The security guards came in and cleared the area, making the reporters and onlookers leave.
Aria Harper's bodyguard and company staff arrived and escorted Aria Harper out.
Once Aria Harper left, the reporters followed suit.
"I'm almost off work. Wait for me, Jasmine, and I'll take you to eat something delicious," Emily patted Jasmine's head.
He looked like a poor little man who was easily bullied, so it's no wonder he was bullied wherever he went.
Jasmine looked too easy to bully.
Even the supervisor of the luxury goods store dared to bite her.
Jasmine nodded and stood in place, waiting for Emily.
"You can't leave, we have a meeting at noon!" The supervisor deliberately stopped Emily, not letting her off work.
"About the incident where your friend came to the store to eat and drink without buying anything, you need to explain it to the store manager." The supervisor said smugly. "The store manager will be here soon."
Obviously, the supervisor had complained.
Sure enough, the store manager had already come in.
"Emily, I heard that you leaked the customer's privacy, causing the customer to be surrounded by reporters and triggering negative public opinion?" The store manager was a little angry and spoke in a deep tone. "As salespeople, regardless of how many mistresses, whether they are number three or number six, we only care about performance! How are you going to bear the losses you have caused to the store?"
"It has nothing to do with Emily. That man's wife is my friend, and I brought her here." Jasmine said angrily. After all, she wasn't part of the store.
The store manager was a very elegant woman, dressed in high-end custom-made clothes that looked expensive.
She looked Jasmine up and down in her high heels. "Are you our customer?"
"What customer? Callahan can't even afford a pair of earrings from our store." The supervisor sarcastically said.
"Since you are not a customer, can you afford the losses caused to our store?" The store manager asked angrily.
"I don't know. Has it come to the point where even Ethan's wife can't afford to shop here?" At the entrance, Ethan lowered his voice, and his whole person looked intimidating.
Everyone was stunned and turned to look at Ethan in shock.
"Douglas... Mr. Douglas." Jasmine nervously walked over and signaled him not to say anything, because they were in a public place...
"Douglas...?" The store manager snapped out of her shock and didn't catch what Ethan had just said.
Ethan reached out and pulled Jasmine into his arms, his attitude already clear.
The supervisor was so scared that her face went pale.
Ethan?
Ethan from Stellar Enterprises?
Wasn't he supposed to be engaged to the Brown family?
After the shock, the supervisor still had a disdainful look in her eyes. She spoke ill of others as mistresses, but she herself was also a secret lover.
"Emily, according to Jasmine's preferences, whatever she likes, regardless of the price, regularly release new styles and have them delivered to her home." Ethan credited the performance to Emily.
Emily silently gave a thumbs up to the big shot.
She had her living expenses for the month covered, and she was even very wealthy.
"Ah-ah-ah?" Jasmine stammered as she looked at Ethan. "Why, why so many bags, what for?"
"I just want to fill up your walk-in closet at home," Ethan said seriously.
"But...but there's no need for so many bags, I don't...I don't carry backpacks," Jasmine quickly waved her hands.
Ethan narrowed his eyes, clearly unmoved.
Jasmine had no choice but to whisper in Ethan's ear. "These bags aren't worth that much money. How about, you give me the money instead..."
Jasmine thought Ethan was a bit extravagant.
Ethan burst into laughter, looking down at Jasmine. How could she be so cute? "Didn't all my money go to you?"
"Huh?" Jasmine was a little slow on the uptake.
"The card I gave you is linked to my main card, unlimited credit. You can swipe it however you want." Ethan rubbed Jasmine's head and glanced at Emily. "Is work over? Let me take you out for dinner."
Emily was excited and almost jumped up. The boss is treating us!!!
The headwaiter and the store manager dared not speak, especially the store manager, who nervously stepped forward. "Mr. Douglas, I apologize for the misunderstanding, we didn't know..."
"It seems like you need to go for further training on management and improving your judgment in hiring," Ethan reminded the store manager on who to keep and who not to keep.
The headwaiter was already terrified and didn't dare to speak to Ethan.
Emily rolled her eyes, it's true that some people are really sycophantic.
...
Stellar Enterprises.
Howard sat in his office with a dark face, looking at the public opinion news on his phone.
"Chairman...now all major platforms and headlines are Brown's family...it's difficult to suppress," the assistant said.
"Did Douglas's PR team and Brown's PR team work together and couldn't suppress it?" Howard was shocked. "Does Ethan know about this?"
Other than Ethan, who else could have the ability to make both Stellar Enterprises and Brown's family's PR teams helpless?
"People from the Patrick family?" Howard rubbed his temples.
Was it Henry?
"It seems...not, after all, these entertainment media reporters, internet trolls, and internet celebrities...they are a large group, widely distributed. It's not easy to solve all of them one by one. Different platforms have different media reporters, and all major online platforms are competing to report. They aren't afraid of you or the Brown family. There must be even stronger backing behind them..."
The assistant was also puzzled, who could it be to have such abilities.
"One person can't do it," Howard was not a fool. "It seems like we have more enemies than we imagined."
Behind the scenes, it was definitely not just one person involved in this manipulation.
"Indeed, a small clue was found, pointing to Crestwood Development Group... Crestwood Development Group has risen rapidly in recent years, although it does not directly compete with Stellar Enterprises, its progress has been too fast," Howard said, standing up and looking out the window. "We need to investigate Crestwood Development Group thoroughly and find out who is behind their capital operations."
One can never be too cautious. Crestwood Development Group has seriously threatened Stellar Enterprises' leading position in the business district.
"What about the press conference at 3:30 this afternoon..." the assistant said, wiping sweat off his forehead.
"Forget about it! The Browns should resolve the situation before we proceed!" Howard said angrily.
During lunchtime, Ethan accompanied Jasmine back home.
Perhaps because she had something on her mind, Jasmine didn't sleep well last night. She had been thinking about how to deal with the Brown family today.
Looking at Jasmine peacefully sleeping in his arms, Ethan smiled.
"Mr. Douglas, the Browns' reputation has already been ruined," Ethan proudly said to his subordinate. "It was my wife's idea."
Jasmine... not only can she always surprise him, but she is also smart enough to make him feel heartbroken.
Although she is so intelligent, why has she endured and suffered all these grievances and mistreatments over the years?
Because Jasmine feels guilty and has been trying to atone for something.
This time, she took action for his sake...
Ever since Ethan saw the Bible under Jasmine's pillow, he understood that her endurance all these years was not just because she hadn't found support or relied on anyone, but because she believed herself to be a sinner.
She had occupied someone else's life for 21 years and enjoyed everything that should not have belonged to her as a sinner.
But Jasmine... she doesn't know that she deserves better.
"Jasmine... don't believe in God, believe in me," Ethan's voice was hoarse as he gently traced Jasmine's face.
