Hearing that, people around were all shocked. To their surprise, this young man, who seemed to be a common people, should claim that he was the boss of Qiansheng Mall.
The middle-aged woman was stunned for a while. She had never anticipated that Casey would say something like that. In her opinion, Casey should just try his best to explain and then she could force them three to give her money with the help from people around.
BothLukeand Amaya looked at Casey as if they were looking at an idiot. In their opinion, it was very stupid of Casey to say something like that.
"He claimed himself to be the boss of Qiansheng Mall? Then, I can also claim myself to be the supplier of all the shopping malls in Q City. Now people dare to casually brag. He must have considered us to be fools." Luke shouted.
People around nodded. It was known to most people in Q City that the boss of Qiansheng Mall was Mitchell. There weren't many people who had seen Mitchell, but everyone knew that Mitchell was a middle-aged man. The son of Mitchell was more than twenty years old now. How was it possible that this young man, who seemed to be only twenty-five or twenty-six years old, was Mitchell?
Christine was also astonished. She really didn't expect that Casey would try to deal with this matter by claiming himself to be the boss of Qiansheng Mall.
"Fella, don't try to fool us. Do you think it possible that I don't know who the boss of this mall is? Besides, I've seen him before. I work here. How dare you say something like that in the presence of me? Could it be that you really consider us to be fools?" The middle-aged woman spoke while staring at Casey.
"Mitchell transferred this shopping mall to me yesterday. It's normal that you don't know that." Casey said.
The middle-aged woman laughed and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, now, not only do I suspect that he steals things, but I suspect that he has just fled the mental hospital. Listen to what he said. It seems that he had just made it up."
"Stop pretending to be innocent. Hurriedly give her the money. If you continue to waste time, the security guards will take some action." Luke shouted.
"Yes. Unexpectedly, this fella should have mental illness. He should brag that he's the boss of Qiansheng Mall. You two are but poor relatives of Christine, a poor girl. Don't brag in this place." Amaya also spoke.
Seeing that no one believed him, Casey shook his head and made a phone call to Reynolds, asking him to come here in five minutes.
"It doesn't matter that you don't know me. You should know Reynolds, right?" Being afraid that the middle-aged woman even didn't know who Reynolds was and that there would be other problem, Casey asked.
The middle-aged woman twitched her lips and said, "I certainly know Reynolds. Why, do you want to frighten me in the name of Manager Reynolds? Listen. There are many people who know Manager Reynolds's name. It's useless for you to mention his name."
Casey smiled and said, "I'm glad that you know who he is."
About five minutes later, they were still in a stalemate. The middle-aged woman asked Casey to give her the money as soon as possible. Before, she acted as if she had suffered great grievance. Now, she just acted as a shrew.
Christine was very worried. She was very afraid that Casey was just bragging just now and that he would be unable to explain the matter clearly in the end. It would be very embarrassing.
Right at this moment, someone rushed to this place hurriedly. It was exactly Reynolds who had received a phone call from Casey.
He cut through the crowd. When he saw that the middle-aged woman was swearing at Casey, his face became immediately extremely dark.
He approached the middle-aged woman, glared at her and shouted, "Shut up, now! Aren't you ashamed?"
Seeing Reynolds, the middle-aged woman was shocked. After some thought, she said with an aggrieved expression, "Manager Reynolds, you've come just at the right moment. They three shameless guys stole one of my necklace worthy of a hundred thousand dollars. They refused to give it back to me. Besides, this guy should claim himself to be the boss of this shopping mall. How dares he! Help me, please!"
Reynolds was furious. In his opinion, the middle-aged woman was riding the tiger.
