Chapter 1150


    Chapter 1150 Compensate First


    This sudden turn of events left everyone, especially Neera, stunned.


    Even though she had anticipated the oue, the process exceeded her expectations.


    Just as everyone wore a look of confusion, a voice suddenly rang out. It was calm, yet carried a hint of


    authority. “Ms. Jennings, how could you and yourpanion stir trouble in my establishment? Do you


    have no respect for the Medicina family?”


    As the sound faded, a man leisurely descended the stairs.


    Neera looked toward the source of the sound, slightly taken aback.


    Descending was a dignified young man, appearing refined and schrly, yet his entire being exuded


    an aura of noble aloofness. Is he the man who immobilized that bodyguard with the silver needles?


    How did he manage to do it from such a distance, especially considering that the silver needles are so


    delicate?


    Just when she was still puzzled by the turn of events, Neera caught a glimpse of “Ms. Jennings” and


    realized that her expression had subtly changed.


    “That’s hrious, Mr. Medicina,” she said. Now that a member of the Medicina family was present, she


    no longer dared to be as presumptuous as before. She put away her domineering attitude and could


    only exin awkwardly. “I just ran into someone who was being quite a nuisance, and in the heat of the


    moment, I gave them a little taste of their own medicine. I really didn’t mean to make a big fuss here. If


    I’ve caused any trouble, I hope you can forgive me.”


    Caleb, however, was not buying it. He scoffed, “Really? From what I see, you were the one who started


    the trouble on purpose.”


    The girl’s face stiffened, and her lips moved slightly, wanting to continue defending herself.


    Caleb knew exactly what had happened. Instead of listening to her distort the facts, he cut her off


    directly. “Ste Jennings, I have no problem with you acting like a spoiled princess and throwing your


    weight around every day. That’s none of my business. But if you’vee here to cause a scene,


    you’ve chosen the wrong ce. If you want. to strut around on the Medicina family’s turf, you better


    assess the Jennings’ position first before doing anything outrageous.”


    Those words carried a hint of hostility, and Caleb spoke as if he was unapologetically asserting


    dominance over the Jennings family.


    Ste had never heard such harsh words before. It felt as if she had been pped in the face, a


    burning pain spreading across her cheeks.


    Her face shifted from pale to flushed. Swallowing her humiliation, she hesitated to speak, offering only


    an awkward apology. “Yes, Mr. Medicina, you’re right. I was indeed too impulsive today, and I know I


    overstepped my bounds. But, um, I really need this ganoderma, could I possibly-”


    Before she could finish her sentence, Caleb coldly huffed, interrupting her. “Please leave right now. I


    won’t be selling you any medicinal materials today. If you need them, you’ll have to look elsewhere.”


    Ste did not think Caleb would humiliate her like that. Her expression grew increasingly displeased,


    but due to her wariness of him, she could notsh out as arrogantly as she had earlier.


    Reluctantly, she bit her lip and turned to leave.


    10:52 Mon, 6 Nov fo?


    Before leaving the premises, Caleb suddenly stopped her. “Your bodyguard just damaged the items in


    my pharmacy. Before you go, please cover the cost of all the damages at the retail prices.”


    Ste’s expression turned grim, and she was seething with anger.


    This is from N?velDrama.Org.


    92%


    Since she was not in a position to argue back, she rushed to the counter to make the payment before


    leaving in a huff, her face dark with frustration.


    Neera, who silently observed the whole process, was secretly amazed by Caleb’s domineering


    presence. Looks like this man is no ordinary individual.


    Once Ste left the pharmacy, she took the initiative to apologize to Caleb. “We’re truly sorry. We didn’t


    mean to damage anything in your pharmacy. We’ll certainlypensate for it.”


    Even though she was not at fault, she was somehow involved in the earlier brawl. Consequently, she


    spoke carefully to avoid any further trouble.


    To her surprise, Caleb suddenly transitioned from his previously cold demeanor and began to smile


    with an air of refined courtesy. “Miss, don’t worry about it. I know who was in the right and who was in


    the wrong. The one who should havepensated has already done so. You haven’t done anything


    wrong, so there’s no need for you topensate. Moreover, considering that you were treated unfairly


    in my pharmacy, it’s my fault for not providing good service. To express my apology, feel free to choose


    any medicinal material you want.”


    His gesture left Neera somewhat bewildered, and the sudden change in his attitude caught her by


    surprise.


    Nheless, she was relieved that he did not hold her responsible for the incident that had just taken


    ce a while ago.


    “That’s very


    kind of you. Thank you very much.”


    Caleb waved his hand amiably, and every gesture he made exuded an air of nobility. “You’re wee.


    Feel free to tell me what you need.”


    Neera nodded, casting a nce at the shop assistant.


    Thetter was very cooperative and promptly brought over the frost ganoderma that had caught her


    eye.


    Neera nced at it and was pleased with what she saw. Just as she was about to inquire about the


    price, she heard Caleb instruct the shop assistant, “Isn’t there another one that has aged better and is


    in a more pristine condition? Bring that one over.”


    The shop assistant paused for a moment before hurrying off to fetch it.


    “I thought there’s only one left in the pharmacy?” Neera was puzzled.


    Caleb smiled faintly. “I only have one for sale. As for the other one, it’s part of my personal collection.


    It’s even better than this ganoderma. I believe it’s rare to find one of simr quality in other parts of the


    world.”


    Upon hearing this, Neera was utterly astonished. Such a scarce top-grade medicinal material must be


    priceless!


    She suddenly felt a bit embarrassed. “I don’t think it’s appropriate for me to own it since it’s part of your


    collection, so you should keep it. I’ll just buy this ganoderma.”


    “No worries, it’s just a medicinal herb.” Caleb did not seem to mind. “Don’t feel embarrassed about it,


    Miss. Just take it.”
