Chapter 207
With those words, Scarlet brought up the security footage.
Everyone hence watched as Peter got drunk and started to mess around, groping a waitress.
shed him a
He even got upset when she bragging about how important his family was…
Helen was left speechless after watching the video and shot a glare of disappointment at Peter. On the other hand, Gina completely did not care, even standing akimbo as she snapped, “So what?! What my son did to that girl is between them. What’s it to you?”
Scarlet slowly rose to her feet. “I own this place, and I’m responsible for anything that happens to my employees.”
“That’s enough.” Helen stepped up just then. “My brother is at fault, so I’ll apologize. What do you ask for compensation? You can ask anything as long as it’s reasonable.”
“What are you doing, Helen?!” Gina snapped, clearly upset.
In her mind, that mere waitress was lucky her son was interested in her, though she would not allow him to marry her.
“Your brother made a mess on my turf and harassed my employee,” Scarlet said evenly, holding Helen’s gaze. “My security personnel even had to stop him. Counting all the losses, medical fees, business damages, and miscellaneous costs… that would be ten million dollars.” “What?!” Helen actually thought Scarlet was reasonable, but she was clearly scamming them! “You’re crazy!” Gina bellowed. “I could buy this entire place with ten million!”
“So you’re not planning to pay up?” Scarlet asked nonchalantly.
Helen frowned. “We won’t hesitate if it’s a normal rate of damages, but ten million is too much.”
“Yeah! Ten million? Here, have a thousand instead!” Gina snapped and whipped out a stack of bills, dumping it on the floor!
Scarlet stared at it, suddenly amused. “A thousand? What do you take us for, a brothel?” Just then, Peter got to his feet despite his battered face, suddenly growing a spine. “A thousand is already being generous with the likes of you! I don’t mind telling you that my sister here is the CEO of Lane Holdings. Who do you think you are to mess with her?!” “Hah!” Scarlet snorted coldly and fearlessly. “A measly CEO trying to flex on me?”
Even the bouncers behind her were laughing.
“You’re really full of it, kid!”
“Don’t you know who Scarlet’s boyfriend is? It’s Phineas Tomkins!”
Helen and everyone else froze at the mention of Phineas–the man was the kingpin of South. City, equal in influence to Leo Grayson!
And Scarlet, the woman before them, was his girlfriend…
“What…? This is Mr. Tomkins‘ turf…?” Gina’s face turned pale, and she started sweating buckets.
Helen was frowning in turn–the incident with Leo still left her traumatized, and she really did not want any further trouble with the mob!
Beside her, Peter gulped and hung his head in fear..
Their terrified reaction certainly left Scarlet smug, and she laughed heartily. “Understand
your situation now? Not only do you have to pay up, but your brother must get down on his knees and apologize too, or none of you will be leaving!
The bouncers nearby promptly surrounded Helen and the others at Scarlet’s word, their burly forms looming menacingly!
