Meet My Brothers by Red Thirteen novel Chapter 37

Chapter 37

Shelly screeched, “What do you mean the transaction won’t go through? How can

that be?”

“It just won’t, Ms. Barrett.’

Shelly felt embarrassed. She’d bought a number of things this month, so she’d already been close to her limit. That, coupled with the fact that Mia had deliberately led her into a trap, would definitely mean that she’d exceeded her limit.

Shelly put on a serious expression. “Why don’t you just wrap these things up for me

first? Put them on my tab. I’ll settle the bill later.”

“We’re not allowed to do that, Ms. Barrett. All customers have to settle the bill before

taking the items home,” the salesperson said.

Shelly gave her a tight slap. “I’m a member of the Barrett family! This whole mall belongs to my family; would I really stoop low enough to steal these things from you?

The salesperson’s cheek turned red and swollen from the slap. She didn’t know

what to do.

Mia couldn’t take it anymore. “The mall’s rules were set by the Barrett family, Shelly.

It doesn’t matter who’s the one doing the shopping-even if Barrett Group’s

president were to shop here, he’d still have to pay before taking the things with him.

Do you think you’re a big shot by bullying a salesperson?”

Eva couldn’t help finding Mia kind as she watched the latter stand up for the

salesperson, who’d also been scornful of them earlier.

Shelly scoffed. “Who do you think you are, Mia? It’d do you good to remember your

place. This is a matter for the Barretts, which means you have no right to interfere. I

want to see the manager!”

The manager soon arrived. “May I know what about our service is not up to your

expectations, Ms. Barrett?”

Shelly pointed at Mia and Eva. “Kick the two of them out of here. They’re nothing but

poor bastards who can’t afford any of the things in here. They’re just wasting our

time and resources! In the future, don’t allow peasants like them in here. It’ll just

ruin the mall’s reputation.”

The manager hesitated. “That’s not in accordance with the rules and regulations, Ms.

Barrett.”

Shelly shrieked, “How is that against the rules? My word is equivalent to the Barrett

family’s rules!”

At this moment, a cold voice rang out. “Since when have you been able to represent the Barrett family?”

The voice immediately made the temperature in the store drop a few degrees. It was

Mia a sidelong glance. “Is that so?”

Mia looked up at him. Was he asking her for her opinion? He’d never done this in

the past whenever situations like this had happened. He would only believe what

his family members said.

She pursed her lips. “No. We came to the mall to buy something, but Ms. Barrett

started mocking us and insulting us when she saw us. She wanted to snatch the

things we were interested in but didn’t have the money to pay for it.

“That upset her, so she wanted the store manager to kick us out. Is that how the

Barrett family conducts its businesses?”

“Shut up, Mia Bowen! What the hell are you talking about?” Shelly was incredibly

diffident. She didn’t sound as confident and obnoxious as she’d been earlier.

Mia pointed at the surveillance cameras above them. “You can check the surveillance footage if you don’t believe me. All will be revealed then.”

At this, Shelly panicked. “I only did what I did for the mall’s sake, Timothy! Mia doesn’t deserve to shop here; she can’t afford anything here!”

Timothy’s expression was frosty. “Apologize!”

Mia gave him a stunned look. Who was he demanding an apology from?

Shelly was delighted. She gave Mia a smug look. “Didn’t you hear him?”

Timothy frowned. “Are you dumb, Shelly? I want you to apologize to our customers!”
