The Invincible Mercenary King (by Matt Watt) novel Chapter 72

Chapter 72 

Not only Haylan was angry, but Charlie and the rest also looked unhappy. 

Charlie went over to support Felicia and said in a stern voice, “Yasmin, you’ve gone too far. You can talk nicely to your consin. Why did you push her?” 

“Don’t talk nonsense and claim kinship with me. You beggar, who’s your cousin?” Yasmin rebuked coldly. 

She was wearing a lot of jewels and gold, looking like a million dollars, 

Apart from that, regular skin care treatments kept her skin smooth and glowy. Thus, she looked a few years younger than her peers. 

On the other hand, Felicia was in an impoverished and rustic state. Prolonged manual work and hardship made her skin swarthy and her hands rough. 

Especially Charlie. His labor-intensive job as a mechanic gave his hands calluses. And even though he had washed his hands clean, there was stubborn black grime under his nails. 

It was a striking contrast when Yasmin stood beside Felicia and Charlie. 

Because of that. Felicia felt that she was superior to them and held the Jaber family in contempt. 

Charlie and Felicia grimaced when they heard Yasmin’s rude remark. 

“If you can’t afford to buy the dress, just get out of the way!” 

Yasmine was extremely condescending. Not only did she push Felicia, but she also shoved Charlie away. She walked to the plain long dress and looked at it carefully. The more she looked at it, the more she liked it. 

Felicia gazed at the long dress with a complicated expression. 

She also liked the dress very much and was reluctant to give it to Yasmin. 

Ever since she was young. Yasmin had been stealing things that belonged to her. 

She came from a much less privileged family than Yasmin’s. Therefore, she chose to swallow her anger most of the time. 

But this time, she didn’t want to give in 

“Stop looking. This dress costs more than 16 thousand dollars. You poor people won’t be able to afford it even if you sell yourselves.” Yasmin looked at Charlie and Felicia with disdain and said sarcastically. 

Then, she told the saleswoman who walked over. “Pack this dress for me. 

Everyone in the Jaber family was irritated. 

Even Tracy, who was the youngest, looked displeased. She whispered to Felicia, “Mom, I don’t like this old lady.” 

Although she was very young, she could tell that Yastnin’s voice was full of contempt, disdain, and arrogance. 

Queenie, Harris, and George were all scowling at Yasmin. 

Haylan looked at Yasmin and then at his mother who kept gazing at the dress in dismay. He stood up immediately and said with a grim face. Auntie Felicia, first come, first served. My mother took a fancy to this dress first” 

If it was not for the fact that Felicia was his relative, he would have given her a slap 

“That’s right. Yasmin. My wife took a fancy to it first. What right do you have to steal our things” Charlie raised his voice. 

“Oh, you guys took a fancy to it first? Charlie, you’re a bicycle repairman, right? Can you earn 1000 dollars a month? Can you afford this dress? You’re as poor as a dog, yet you still want to stand up for your wife. You’ve overestimated yourself” 

Yasmin continued mocking, “Also, even if you’re trying to be a hero. Your wife is just an ugly old woman. She doesn’t deserve the dress. Save it, beggars 

“Yasmin, you’re too much! How dare you look down on us!” Charlie and Felicia were enraged. 

Ever since Yasmin came into the store, she had been pouring scorn on them and calling them poor dogs, stripping them of their dignity and pride. 

She was such a big bully. 

Yasmin said arrogantly, “You’re right. I do look down on you. What can you do to me? Do you have the money to buy the 

dress?” 

“I’ll buy it!” Haylan said in a stern voice. 

Felicia gritted her teeth and grabbed the plain dress, saying. “That’s right, we’ll buy it 

“Hahaha, Felicia, stop pretending to be someone you’re not. You’re just an odd jobber, and your husband is a bicycle 

repairman Can you afford it Yasmin gutlawed arrogantly as if she had heard the funniest joke in the world. 

Then, she looked at Haylan and said disdainfully, “And you, you’re Haylan, right? Didn’t you commit a crime back then and fee overseas? So It’s been eight years and you don’t even have a decent shirt? 

“I think you’re worse than a beggar. You’re just a piece of trash!” 

The salesgirl’s face darkened when she heard that. She slapped Felicia’s hand and said coldly. “If you can’t afford it, don’t touch our dress. If you dirty it, you won’t be able to compensate for it.” 

Since she started working, no poor people had ever had the cheek to come into the store. 

When she saw Haylan’s family walking in in ordinary clothes, she thought that they were new money from Lightdom City, so she did not chase them away. 

However, Yasmin’s words were like a warning light.1 

She realized immediately that Haylan and his family were miserably poor. 

Therefore, she was very rude to them. When she slapped Felicia’s arm, she hit her hard, causing Felicia’s hand to turn red. It was so painful that Felicia retracted her hand. 

“What are you doing? Charlie glared at the salesgirl when he saw his wife being hit 

“This is a luxury brand. Our clothes are all very expensive. Poor people like you can’t touch them,” the salesgirl scoffed. 

“Did you hear that? You can’t touch it, not to mention to buy it. Hahaha, save it.” Yasmin said smugly. 

“If you’re not here to buy clothes, please leave immediately. Otherwise, I’ll call security. The salesgirl pointed at the door. 

She was very cold toward the Jaber family Contempt and disdain were written all over her face. 

The salesgirl’s poor attitude infuriated Charlie, Floris, and the other family members. 

Haylan’s eyes turned grim when he saw that his mother’s hand turned red after being slapped. 

He walked towards the salesgirl with a long face and said coldly. “I’ll give you a chance. Apologize to my mother right away!” 

“Apologize? Who do you think you are? Why should I apologize to you?” The waitress sneered. She showed no respect for Haylan’s family at all. 

Yasmin chimed in, “Apologize for what? Your mother is a lowly woman. So what if the salesgirl hit her? Besides, the young lady didn’t do it on purpose. It’s all your mother’s fault. Who asked her to touch the long dress I want to buy with her dirty 

hands? 

“If someone has to apologize, I think your mother should apologize to the young lady instead. Hitting your mother has dirtied her hand.” 

Charlie and the children were smoldering with fury. 

“Why should the victim apologize to the perpetrator?
