Chapter 939
โWhatโs going on?โ
Rachel was surprised to see Tyler there. โWhat are you doing here?โ
โDidnโt you see my text?โ
Rachel quickly pulled her phone out and saw the text Tyler sent, telling her that he was done and that heโd be coming over to fetch her.
โIโm sorry, I was busy shopping with Cecilia and didnโt check my phone.โ
โItโs fine,โ Tyler said as he patted her shoulder.
Cecilia wasnโt about to be a pushover. She wasnโt afraid, especially now that Tyler was here. Before Rachel had a chance to speak, Cecilia told Tyler everything that had happened.
Tyler looked icily at the woman, who subconsciously took two steps back.
โWe can compensate you for the milk powder,โ Tyler said in an authoritative tone, โbut did you just say that your husband manages this mall?โ
The woman felt intimidated by the expensive-looking suit Tyler was wearing and the remarkable aura he exuded, but she refused to back down.
โSo what if he is? Heโs the general manager of this mall, so pay up and apologize if you know whatโs good for you! Otherwise, you can forget about entering this mall in the future.โ
As she spoke, she pulled her phone out and called her husband, her tone whiny and demanding.
โHubby, I was bullied by someone in the baby shop! You have to come and stand up for me.โ
A while later, a pot-bellied man wearing a suit hurried over. It was Mr. Jennings, the general manager of the mall. He was full of smiles when he approached the lady.
โHoney, whatโs wrong? Who bullied you?โ
โThey did!โ The woman pointed at Rachel and Tyler. โShe bumped into me and refused to compensate me, and even glared at me! Chase them out right now and ban them from entering the mall!โ
Mr. Jennings looked in the direction his wife pointed and was ready to scold the offender when he saw that it was Tyler. His face turned pale in an instant as he lost his footing.
He stuttered, โMrโฆMr. Hunt? WโWhat brings you here?โ
The woman stood stunned. โHubby, do you know him?โ
โKnow?โ
Mr. Jennings wiped the cold sweat on his brow and hurried over to Tyler.
He said with a deep bow, โMr. Hunt, Iโm so sorry. My wife was blind to offend you and your wife. I apologize to you on her behalf!โ
Mrs. Jennings was utterly confused. โHubby, what are you talking about? Who is he?โ
Instead of paying Mr. Jennings any attention, Tyler looked at Rachel and combed his fingers through her slightly messy bangs. His cold, calm voice hit Mr. Jennings like a brick.
โMr. Jennings, I remember three years ago, when your mall was facing a cash flow crisis, it was LS Enterprise that invested three hundred million dollars, which helped the mall survive till today. Did I remember that correctly?โ
Mr. Jenningsโ head bowed even lower. โYesโฆyes, it was your great compassion and mercy that saved our mall.โ
โI saved your mall because I saw potential in it,โ Tyler said as he looked up, his incisive gaze sweeping across his face. โHowever, that doesnโt mean I allow your family members to act like they own this place and bully my wife.โ
He paused for a moment before going on, his voice intimidating, โIt is written clearly in LS Enterpriseโs investment agreement that if the mall does anything to infringe its shareholdersโ interests, we have the right to withdraw our investment at any time. How long do you think your mall can survive if we do that?โ
Mr. Jenningsโ face turned white as a sheet. His knees buckled, almost sending him kneeling on the floor.
โMr. Hunt, I was wrong! I was so wrong! I was wrong not to discipline my wife. Iโll make her apologize to you and your wife right away and compensate for all damages. Please donโt withdraw your investment!โ
He dragged his wife, who was still in a daze, and shoved her right before Rachel. โQuick! Apologize to Mrs. Hunt right away! Say youโre sorry!โ
That was when realization finally dawned upon Mrs. Jennings. The man before her was the mallโs major shareholder! Her prior arrogance disappeared without a trace. She bowed before Rachel, her face ashen.
โMrs. Hunt, Iโm sorry! I was wrong. I shouldnโt have lost my temper or demanded that you compensate me. Please be magnanimous and donโt count it against meโฆโ
Rachel saw how frightened she looked and felt nothing. She didnโt want to accept her apology, and she didnโt actually incur any losses.
โLetโs go.โ
Tyler held Rachelโs hand and warned Mr. Jennings, โWatch your people and donโt let me see this happening a second time!โ
