Chapter 89 A Disaster
“Cherry, you broke this exhibit!”
“What to do now? How much does it cost?”
“This looks very expensive. Cherry, you have caused a disaster.”
Cherry heard her friends‘ chaotic voices and frowned while staring blankly at the tiles under her feet. “I didn’t mean to. I was thinking about something just now when I heard a voice behind me. And this porcelain jar was shattered when I turned around.”
As soon as she said this, the staffs who were moving the exhibit were annoyed. “Miss, all of us were protecting this exhibit; but you were in our way. We asked you to step aside, but you moved so wildly that your bag slammed on the exhibit.”
“Since you are transporting the exhibit, why didn’t you take protective measures? How could it be swiped on
the ground? It seems like you don’t care about it at all.”
Cherry was very annoyed. Everything went wrong recently, and her misfortune even caused trouble in an art gallery. She felt upset and blurted out, “Who knows if you smashed it and tried to slander me on purpose!”
Her unreasonable attitude made a young staff lose his temper. He rushed forward excitedly but was stopped
by someone.
The conflict and noise attracted the owner of the art gallery. When the owner saw the broken tiles on the
ground, cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
He was an elder, so he managed to keep calm while facing this kind of disaster. He said gently, “Miss, your must be responsible for your words. This is the largest art gallery in Fort, and surveillance cameras are everywhere. We’ll know about the truth after checking the video.”
Cherry felt embarrassed. When her friends were looking at the exhibits, she accidentally stood at the back. and happened to block the road. She was pondering and startled when she heard the voice behind her, so her movement was wild indeed. And she even felt her bag slammed on the porcelain jar.
“This exhibit was right next to you. We just removed the protective cover and were going to put it on the
stand.” The young staff said indignantly.
Cherry looked at the place he pointed, and there was an empty stand beside her indeed.
Many people were attracted by the quarrel and gathered around. Cherry was surrounded in the middle and felt ashamed. She took out her purse and said impatiently, “Okay! Tell me how much it is, and I’ll pay you!”
As she spoke, she took a stack of money and a few cards from her bag and slapped them on the staff’s face.
“Is this enough? There are still tens of thousands in the cards. Take them as a tip.”
Cherry’s eyes were full of superior arrogance.
The staff sneered and said, “Who do you think you are? You only have a few thousand and dare to slap the
money on us? Why did you pretend to be a rich girl? So disgusting.”
Get Bogus
Cherry was taken aback for a moment. Then her face was full of anger. She pointed at the staff angrily, and
her manicure was as hypocritical as herself. “What do you mean!”
“Do you know what you’ve broken?” The owner smiled angrily and picked up a piece of porcelain on the
ground.
Cherry was anxious. She couldn’t recognize this porcelain jar, but she didn’t want to admit her stupidity. She
thought it was just an antique with common patterns, which wouldn’t be very worthy.
“It’s just a porcelain jar with blue patterns! I have a lot of these in my house. What’s so special about it?” She looked haughty and didn’t believe this art gallery would have some priceless exhibits.
The owner chuckled lightly with irony. “You have a lot of these in your house? Haha!”
A girl behind Cherry gently tugged at her sleeve; she blushed and was very embarrassed. “Cherry, this is not an ordinary porcelain jar. It was made for the ancient royal family. Although it is broken and I can’t recognize the pattern, it is still very expensive. You’re in great trouble.”
Cherry’s heart skipped a beat, and she asked weakly, “Then you tell me how much this jar… this exhibit
up.
The owner’s expression became respectful, and he said cautiously, “Mr. Green, something happened. Can I trouble you to come over? I’m sorry, the antique you lent us was accidentally broken by a lady. Yes, okay. She and I will wait for you right here.”
