Chapter 648
After putting on her nightgown, the woman asked, “Who are you? And why do you have an access card to my room? How could the staff just hand it to you like that? I’m going to lodge a formal complaint!”
After Severin heard her remark, he chuckled. “Think of this as my hotel. I have the final say in Brookbourn, and if I wanted to kill you, you would have been dead long ago!”
“Who are you? I don’t remember offending anyone like you!” Phoebe looked solemnly at Severin. The man before her was a frightening individual whose attainment was surely much higher than hers. The way he spoke was quite haughty too.
“I was the one who paid the seven-and-a-half million dollar deposit! I want the necklace and ring!” Severin could not be bothered to beat around the bush with her and said directly, “In eight days, both the necklace and the ring will have to be worn by my wife!”
“Hehe!” Phoebe laughed. “They’re not with me now though. Both pieces are still at the company’s headquarters. However, I have no say in this, because their HQ has already decided that it will be sent to South Link City tomorrow. I’m sure you’re aware what sort of place South Link City is, as well as the kind of people that the city harbors.”
“South Link City?!” Severin frowned when he heard that. It was a very large and ancient city with very dense spiritual energy. More importantly, it was one of the most prosperous cities in the entire south. county where many powerful families lived. Even the South County Mansion was in South Link City.
Phoebe thought that Severin was afraid when she saw his blank look, so she smiled coldly and said, “In South Link City, not even people like you can afford to piss the third-tier families off. Do you genuinely think you’re in any place to offend the person who bought the necklace?” She then Phoebe sat by the bed. flipped her black hair back, and said again, “I should advise you to quit while you’re still ahead. Aside from the refund that our company will process for your deposit, you’ll even be paid a hefty compensation! Isn’t it great that you could get all that money without even lifting a finger? This is the stuff of dreams for most people!”
From Phoebe’s point of view, Severin probably came to her because he did not know about the compensation money that would be paid. If he knew, then he might be more open to accepting it because the total was no small sum.
However, she did not expect that Severin would just smile at her and say, “I’m sorry, but I’m not interested in the money! As I said before, I want my wife to wear that necklace and ring in another eight days! I’m not quite sure I like your tone and your way of carrying yourself, especially since I was the one who paid the deposit first!”
“Are you trying to get yourself killed?” Phoebe frowned, for she did not expect the man to be such a brash. character. She explained coldly, “It’s true that you paid the deposit first and the other buyer only came to us about four or five hours later than you, but the product is being sold by our company, and we reserve the right to sell it to them!”
Severin shot back directly, “Sorry to burst your bubble, but I paid the deposit first, so the two items are mine. Besides, they didn’t even show me any courtesy and decided on behalf of me. On what grounds do they have the right to do that?”
“On what grounds, you ask?” Phoebe stood up, walked up to Severin, and said, “On the grounds that they’re the kind of people someone like you can’t afford to offend! Isn’t that enough? You’re probably the kind of person who gets his way all the time in Brookbourn and thinks that everyone is beneath you, but don’t you forget that South Link City is a place the entire south county’s dignitaries are!”
