Rebirth of the Deadly Beauty novel Chapter 453

"Taking advantage of customers?" Edna scoffed and turned to Yolanda. "I am Edna Moorley, the manager of this antique shop.

"My employee told me that your father broke the cover of our 18th-century rococo snuff box, but both of them refused to admit it. You'd better advise them quickly to compensate us for it. If not, we'll call the police so they can handle this situation.

"This is an 18th-century rococo snuff box, and it was a treasure that used to be owned by royalty. It's priced at ten million dollars at the very least.

"Since we felt that he didn't deliberately break the antiques in the shop, we were kind enough to only ask for eight million dollars in compensation, and that's already out of the goodness of our hearts. But your father here was adamant in denying it and was overtly stubborn. He claimed that he didn't break it. This is too much!"

Rivera Estello, one of the employees, explained the situation to Yolanda.

"Which other antique shop would allow shameless people like you in through their doors? This is a major character flaw!"

Edna spoke with firm conviction, stating that Harold had a broken precious antique in their shop and he had to pay for compensation.

Harold retorted, "You're lying! I often visit antique shops and have always been very careful. I did walk past this aisle but I didn't touch the snuff box at all.

"It fell down on its own. Don't blame this on me!"

Harold was very emotional while Diana chimed in at the side, "It's not like we can't afford it, but we didn't break it, so why should we pay for it? My husband is the owner of a renowned business in Riverdale City. Why would he lie and try to weasel his way out?"

"Hah! He's a business owner?" Aquila Rhine, another employee sneered. "Which business owner would be shameless enough to avoid paying for compensation after breaking someone else's antiques?"

"Don't pin this on me! I told you, I didn't touch the snuff box at all, so it's impossible that I broke it!"
