Loredana was just about to open her mouth to explain the situation when she was interrupted by the waitress, “Lacey, don’t listen to her. She’s the one who got these people and smashed our store like this. You’d better get someone quickly and arrest them all.”
Loredana frowned.
Cormac handed his daughter to Loredana, “Go wait for me in the car.”
He would take care of things here. Although he wanted to train his son to be courageous, he did not want his daughter to be exposed to this. Daughters were not the same as sons.
Loredana picked up her daughter. She was just about to leave with her in her arms when she heard the waitress’s cousin, Lacey Ward, speak out to stop her, “The matter was started because of you. How can this matter be made clear when you are gone?”
Cormac looked up indifferently. His voice was cold and harsh, “Talk to me.”
When Lacey met Cormac’s eyes, she felt timid. He looked even more intimidating than Charles, while his cold and rigid face was handsome and monotonous, and the chill he exuded from his body made people flinch.
She clenched her hands, “We are just businessmen. Is it too much for you to do like this?”
Cormac’s lips curled into a cold smile.
The waitress ducked behind Lacey, “They are definitely gangsters. Hurry up and call Mr. White to come over.”
At this time, Boyce came out of the store and whispered in Cormac’s ear.
Lacey couldn’t hear what they said. It was just that the store was smashed, and she and her cousin, two weak women were definitely no match to them.
After thinking it over, she chose to call Charles.
Hopefully, he could help her out.
It was obvious that they were bullying her because they were outnumbered.
On the other hand, Charles was leaving to pick up Loredana from the hotel to meet the master who could make cloud yarn. As a result, he received a call from Lacey.
“Is something wrong?” He asked nonchalantly.
“My store has been smashed. Can you come over?” Lacey lowered her head. She and Charles both grew up in orphanages and knew each other since childhood. Later they were each adopted. It wasn’t until a year ago that she and Charles met again.
It was also thanks to Charles that she was able to have such a nice store in this mall.
Charles took a look at the watch. There was still time, so he promised her to come over.
He just didn’t expect to meet Loredana and Cormac after he came over.
The waitress who had been hiding behind Lacey tilted her head when she saw Charles coming over, “See, I told you that Mr. White and my cousin are very close. You are looking for death as you dare to make trouble here.”
Lacey frowned and looked at her cousin. Although she had a connection with Charles, she didn’t want to make trouble for Charles on account of this connection.
So when she heard her cousin’s words, she couldn’t help but frown.
Charles was a smart man, and he probably guessed what happened when he saw such a scene.
As he passed by Loredana, he looked at her and asked with concern, “Are you all right?”
Loredana stood closer to Cormac and shook her head, “I’m fine.”
There was so much she didn’t know about Charles.
And for the sake of her two children, she didn’t want outsiders to see that she and Cormac weren’t a normal couple.
Charles watched her movements. His eyes flickered slightly, but he regained his composure quickly.
Her action made Cormac, who had been sullen, raise his eyebrows, and the corners of his lips curled up a little, too.
“You’ve come just in time. I was just about to ask you for an explanation.” Cormac took Loredana by the shoulders and walked into the messy store. Boyce had someone clean out the couch, then Cormac motioned for Loredana to sit down.
She had an injury on her foot. Standing all the time was slow for her to recover from the injury.
The waitress was completely dumbfounded. What was going on?
How could this man not even be afraid of Mr. White? And he looked even more imposing than he was?
In White City, Charles was the most powerful person. Who was this man?
And who was this woman?
Even Mr. White was caring for her.
She grabbed Lacey’s hand nervously and tightened her grip unknowingly. Lacey’s arm hurt from the grip. She frowned and looked at her cousin, “They are the ones who caused the matter. What are you afraid of?”
The waitress was flustered. She had always relied on Lacey and Charles’ relationship to run roughshod over this mall. No one dared to refute her every time.
This time, she felt that she had met a powerful guy.
She was used to bullying others, and suddenly, someone who even Charles had to be courteous to came, so how could she not panic?
“Lacey, who is he?”
“I don’t know.” Lacey had never seen him before either.
But it seemed like he was no ordinary guy.
This time, the waitress was even more scared. Even Lacey didn’t know who he was.
Tom pushed Charles into the store. The floor was a mess with barely any place to get down. He glanced casually around the store, then turned his gaze to Cormac and asked with a smile, “Are they not serving you well?”
Cormac curled his lips and said nonchalantly, “In Mr. White’s place, of course, no one dares to make trouble. But …” He gave Boyce a wink, “We’ll talk after you’ve seen it.”
Boyce understood. He had someone bring a laptop from the car, put it on the front desk, and then plugged in a flash drive. He clicked on the flash drive while saying, “I got this video from the store’s surveillance. As for what happened, we’ll see.”
The waitress was completely dumbfounded. How could she forget that the store was equipped with surveillance?
The contents inside …
No, she couldn’t let Lacey see what she was doing in the store, or all the bad things she had done would be revealed. She rushed up and tried to destroy the computer and grab the flash drive. Boyce had known that she would be annoyed, so he had already had someone take precautions.
As soon as she rushed up, she was stopped.
Soon the video was presented successfully.
Just now Boyce whispered in Cormac’s ear, and told him that he got the video of the store, and found something else.
The video was not intercepted from Loredana entering the store, but when the waitress took advantage of Lacey’s absence and put the money from customers buying clothes into her own pocket. She also often threatened the customers who came to the store that they had to buy the clothes as long as they tried them on, or else she would threaten them by mentioning Charles, saying that he was her backer.
No one in White City didn’t know Charles.
So, of course, no one wanted to mess with him.
They all chose to pay and get it over with.
Charles looked like crap.
It was the worst look Loredana had ever seen on his face since she had known him.
Lacey’s face was livid and even worse than Charles’s.
Seeing that things were exposed, the waitress wanted to escape, but was stopped by Boyce, “Why are you in such a hurry to leave?”
“You faked all these. You tried to set me up!” The waitress was determined not to admit it.
Boyce didn’t bother to pay attention to her.
Boyce only intercepted the important clips, but this also played for half an hour before the scene of Loredana entering the store.
