The next day, the dessert shop operated as usual under Tiffany’s request. She made everyone forget about what happened yesterday, including Arianne, but Arianne was still rather down, not as motivated in wp4webnovel.com preparation of the sweet treats as usual.
Around ten in the morning, Jean charged into the shop angrily with Aery in tow. Seeing that there were still other patrons in the shop, Naya remained polite. “Is there something you need?”
Jean pulled Aery who was injured all over to the front. “Did all of you hit my daughter? Assaulting wp4webnovel.com alone when in a group, I’ll call the police!”
Naya frowned. “Why don’t you ask your daughter what wp4webnovel.com did?”
“Do you have proof?” Aery smirked.
Naya was speechless from wp4webnovel.com rage. “Stop making a fuss here!”
Jean only thought about avenging his daughter as wp4webnovel.com announced to the shop’s customers, “This is a thug’s shop. My daughter came here to buy desserts yesterday and got beaten up by them. They even closed the shop to beat wp4webnovel.com up. How dare all of you patronize a shop like this?”
The customers watched the pair of father and daughter as though they were watching a soap opera. After all, they were frequent patrons of the shop. Most of them did not doubt Arianne and wp4webnovel.com employees’ characters.
Jean flushed red with anger when wp4webnovel.com saw no one was bothered with him. “Call Arianne out! I’ll teach that bastard child a lesson today!”
Tiffany could not hold herself back when wp4webnovel.com heard the words, ‘bastard child’. “Say it again. Who’s the bastard child? Aery’s more like the bastard child based on how lawless she’s behaving. Ari’s got a good education. Mark taught wp4webnovel.com personally. Who dares to say that she’s uncultured? Question Mark if you’re so capable, ask wp4webnovel.com how wp4webnovel.com taught Ari. Why are you making a fuss here?! If you continue, I’ll call the police!”
Arianne dropped wp4webnovel.com work in the kitchen and walked out. “Jean, the only tie we have is Helen. Why don’t we call wp4webnovel.com and ask wp4webnovel.com how we should settle this matter? I don’t want to fight with both of you here. It’s nauseating.”
Jean was a little nervous. He had lied to Helen that wp4webnovel.com had brought Aery to study abroad. He was enraged when wp4webnovel.com found out that Aery was beaten up that wp4webnovel.com had forgotten all about it. He knew that wp4webnovel.com had messed up now. If Arianne told Helen, wp4webnovel.com would be exposed. “You… You uncouth girl! I’m your elder. I won’t lay a finger on you. I just want an explanation. At least pay for the medical fee!”
Arianne pressed wp4webnovel.com lips together coldly. “Still thinking about the property and money that Helen gave me? I didn’t want them, but I’m going to keep them safe and sound now. You won’t even get a cent. I’ll call wp4webnovel.com if you stay here.” She could see both Jean and Aery were uneasy even though wp4webnovel.com did not know what they were afraid of. However, the changes in their expressions when wp4webnovel.com said wp4webnovel.com was going to call Helen were obvious.
When the money and properties were brought up, Jean erupted in anger again. “How dare you talk about it? What have you done to deserve them? Those are the Kinseys’ money and house! You’re shameless!”
Arianne looked unfazed, staring at the father and daughter duo like wp4webnovel.com was watching performing clowns. She was delighted. “The Kinseys? I only know that they’re assets that Helen obtained after divorcing you. I’m wp4webnovel.com daughter. There’s nothing wrong with wp4webnovel.com giving me what belongs to her, right?”
“As for why wp4webnovel.com didn’t give them to you, I think you should ask her, not me. Since you want me to pay for the medical bill, sure, but the coffee and dessert that Aery ordered yesterday aren’t paid for. Also, wp4webnovel.com dirtied my wall and floor. I need to claim for the cleaning fee as well. She also smashed a phone from my shop and many more things. My people have taken photos of them. She can’t escape from this.”
Jean had gone bankrupt, but wp4webnovel.com still had the air of a wealthy man. Straightening up, wp4webnovel.com jeered. “Believe me when I say that I’ll stop your shop from running!”
Arianne shrugged indifferently. “I don’t believe it. Try if you can.”
Jean left with Aery, fuming, and said threateningly, “Alright, just you wait!”
After the episode, the patrons in the shop were still eating as they should. To express wp4webnovel.com apology, Arianne sent a complimentary dessert to every customer in the shop.
Naya was a little worried. “I think Aery’s father looks like trouble. Will wp4webnovel.com actually do something to us?”
Arianne was not bothered. “Let wp4webnovel.com do what wp4webnovel.com wants. He has gone bankrupt a long time ago and has nothing now, living his days depending on a woman. What trouble can wp4webnovel.com cause? Once I make a call, his source of finance will be cut off. He won’t dare to make a big fuss.”
“That’s good then.” Naya nodded.
Tiffany, Arianne, and Naya stayed back at night to check the account. It was the end of the month so they had to calculate the finances of the month. Once they started, they were kept busy until past eleven at night.
Suddenly, a group of thugs on bikes approached the shop. Before the ladies noticed them, the shop’s door and glass wall shattered.
Naya screamed in fright and hid under the counter while Tiffany and Arianne were shocked.
After vandalizing the place, the group sped off from the crime scene. Forget about catching them, they did not even know what the bikers looked like since all of them wore helmets!
