Due to the commotion in the store, some pedestrians who rushed over started laughing as well.
“Do you know who the richest man in Atlantis is, young lady?”
“Does Stanley Batton know you are his younger sister?”
“I can’t stop laughing! Do you know what will happen to you for impersonating Mr. Batton’s sister?”
A few of the sales assistants spoke in a cold tone.
Sophie Kenwick casually gazed at them and smiled. “Do you know what will happen to you for offending Stanley’s younger sister?”
Everyone burst out laughing again—
“She’s crazy! She’s gone mad!”
“What did the doctors say, young lady? Do you need to spend a few days in a psychiatric ward?”
“Please stop causing your parents any more trouble.”
A few of the passersby started mocking as well.
Right then, Sophie seemed like a young, ignorant kid to everyone.
When Stanley Batton arrived with Zack Cassidy - the mall's manager - and about a hundred security guards, they happened to witness this very scene, causing Stanley to frown slightly.
He walked in front, wearing an elegant custom-made suit.
The fitting black and white suit made him look tall, his form perfectly proportioned.
With an imposing air about him, he appeared even more remarkable.
“Zack, check out what’s going on,” he said calmly to the manager.
Zack pushed his way inside the store, where he was instantly recognized by some of the staff, who surrounded him as they spoke up.
