Chapter 201


    Ste asked, “Are you sure that you bought it half a month ago?”


    The middle-aged woman got a word in, “Why do you ask when she bought the products? They were


    sold in your store and you should return the money andpensate me. Cut the craps.”


    Ste took a nce at the broken ne that was thrown onto the ground by that middle-aged


    woman before and then asked the little girl, “Do you remember who sold them to you? Were they sold


    by the girl just now?”


    The girl hurriedly replied, “Yep, it was her.”


    “How much did you buy them?”


    “I… I don’t remember…”


    The middle-aged woman became impatient, “Enough is enough. It’s just worthy of several hundreds.


    Why do you have many questions? You’re the owner of such a big store and I guess that you’re not in


    short of money. Hurry up to return the money and this wille to an end.”


    Ste said with a light smile, “How can I return the money to you if I don’t know the price.”


    The middle-aged woman retorted, “You will have topensate for my spiritual damage and the loss


    of working time. You can give them to me together. Why did you separate them?”


    “How much do you want?”


    “Not that much. Twenty or thirty thousand.”


    Ste couldn’t help but let out a chuckle, “Twenty or thirty thousand?”


    The middle-aged woman replied, “It’s not that much, right? My daughter is still a student and she


    doesn’t go to school today because of this matter. If she can’t keep abreast with the teacher’s tempo


    aftering back to school and fails to be admitted by a renewed university and can’t get a good job in


    the future because of this, it will be a great loss. I didn’t ask for too much.”


    “Okay.”


    When speaking, Ste took out her phone.


    The middle-aged money showed her OR code of payment to Ste triumphantly, but at the next


    moment, Ste called the police.


    “Yuck, you…” The middle-aged woman seemed to be a bit nervous, “If you think that thepensation


    is high, we can negotiate it. I have to remind you that I will not get even with it if wee to the please.


    It’s your reputation that will be ruined.”


    Ste ignored her and concisely narrated the situation to the police.


    After ending the call, Ste raised the ne in her hand and said in a t tone, “Firstly, I designed


    and produced this ne ten days ago and it was sold in the store about one week ago. Secondly,


    the girl pushed by you just now asked for a leave several days ago and she only came back yesterday.”


    Seeing that her scheme was exposed, the middle-aged woman began to make a scene, “I don’t care


    about that. I just know that the ne was bought from your store. So you mustpensate me.”


    Ste replied, “I’m not in a hurry. Let’s talk about it in the police office.”


    The middle-aged woman turned around and began to curse at her daughter, “Useless thing. You even


    forget when you bought it.”


    When speaking, she poked at her daughter’s head with great force, “No wonder that you have poor


    performance in school. Are there only shits in your brain? Thing over the words you want to say before


    speaking when the policeeter.”


    The girl simply stood on the spot with her head lowered.


    Ste noticed that the girl’s school uniform was washed-up. It was winter now, but she only had one


    sweater under her thin uniform. She was wearing a pair of old-fashioned and ordinary sports shoes, but


    they were quite clean. She was quite different from her mother who had fatty cheeks and wore a


    marten coat.


    Such a girl would by no means buy essories with her parents’ hard-earned money because she


    would not pursue beauty blindly.


    As a matter of fact, as long as one observed it carefully, he/she would find out that the woman’s words


    were full of holes.


    But Ste couldn’t understand why they would ckmail her.


    And they even made up a lie that would be exposed easily.


    Sherry came back after a short while. Seeing this scene, she pulled Ste aside and asked, “Ste,


    what happened?”


    Ste briefly told her what happened and added, “Sherry, I have to go to the police officeter. If there’s


    no other matter in our studio, you can close it and go to the hospital to visit Natalie.”


    “Okay. I will call Channing and let him go to the police office with you. Otherwise, I’m afraid that…”


    Sherry took a nce at the middle-aged woman and clicked her tongue, “You can win her if you fight


    against her.”


    Ste was amused, “I’m going to the police office for taking dictations, not for fighting. Channing has


    been concentrated on his final exams recently. Don’t tell him about this.”


    Sherry nodded her head, “All right. Then be careful. When I handle the matters here, I will go to the


    police office to pick you.”


    The police officers came after a short while.


    They were then taken to the police office. The middle-aged woman, who was so aggressive in the


    studio just now, pretended to be so miserable and poor. This time, she didn’t allow her daughter to say


    anything and simply told them that she was scared.


    Ste told the police officers about what happened and the evidence she had. The middle-aged woman


    retorted in an aggrieved tone, “We’re the victims, not convicts. Have you finished your interrogation?


    My daughter is going to have the college entrance examination soon. Will you be responsible if this


    affects her study?”


    The police officers wanted to let them solve this conflict through negotiation as the things were bought


    form Ste’s store. Moreover, three hundred yuan was not a big amount. They thought that Ste could


    buy peace with such a small amount of money.


    Ste pressed her lips. She didn’t reply.


    It was not a matter of money. Rather, it was a matter of principle.


    But when she saw that the middle-aged man was stillining about her daughter while poking at


    her head with great forced, she suddenly realized that the girl was instigated by her mother.


    No one wanted to have such a mother.


    In the end, Ste gave one thousand to the middle-aged woman and said coldly, “But a thick coat for


    your daughter with the rest of the money.”


    The girl looked up at Ste when she heard the words and there was a touch of astonishment in her


    timid eyes.

    The middle-aged man said with dissatisfaction, “Only one thousand? Am I a beggar? I want…”


    A police officer interrupted her, “Enough. Your daughter still needs to study. Hurry up and send her


    back to the school.”


    The middle-aged woman could only give up.


    When she walked to the door, she said coldly to Ste, “I will not let go of you easily. Let’s wait and


    see.”


    She then left with her daughter. Ste wanted to hail a taxi, but at the next moment, a ck Porsche


    stopped in front of her.


    Emmett got off the car and asked anxiously, “Ste, how’s it? Are you okay? I rushed to here after


    receiving Sherry’s call. Am Ite?”


    Ste shook her head, “Not a big deal. I’ve solved it.”


    Emmett turned around, “Has she left?”


    “She’s left.” Ste continued, “You’re supposed to be in thepany now. It’s that okay that youe


    out at this point of time?”


    “There’re few things in mypany now.”


    Emmett coughed and asked, “Ste, if you don’t have any other matter, can youe to a ce with


    me?”


    Thinking that Emmett especially came here for her and that he had helped her a lot before, Ste felt it


    unreasonable to refuse it. She nodded her head, “All right.”
