Chapter 54


    “Sir, I have bad news. A suspicious person broke the vintage porcin vase you won at the auction


    yesterday!” the waiter said with a panicked expression on his face.


    I hope he won''t me me and Jenny.


    After all, the porcin vase had been ruined while in their hands.


    When James heard that, the excited look on his face vanished, and he abruptly rose from his seat.


    “What? I spent fifty million to win that precious vase at the auction! I even told you to be cautious.


    What''s the matter with you guys?”


    With that, James hurriedly exited the room and followed the waiter to the scene.


    “That woman was the one who broke the porcin vase.”


    The waiter pointed toward Mandy from a distance as he informed James.


    “Was it you who broke my porcin vase?” James asked Mandy with a gloomy expression as he


    approached her.


    In reality, he was more concerned with the porcin vase than the fifty million.


    He was heartbroken because the vase was shattered before he could even appreciate it.


    “S-Sorry, sir. I had no intention of breaking it. I''ll make it up to you!” Mandy stammered, her face


    panicked.


    “Hmph! This is the vintage porcin vase that I won at an auction for fifty million! This is the invoice.


    I''m not going to deceive you. All you have to do is pay me the original price!”


    At that point, James had no choice but to ask Mandy topensate him for the original price.


    “S-Sir, I''m afraid I don''t have that much money. I only have five thousand with me right now. Can you


    make do with that?”


    When she heard the price, Mandy was so stunned that she could not speak properly.


    Despite her best efforts to go through her belongings, she could only find five thousand in cash.


    In fact, it was the money she took out that morning to pay for the workers their family had hired to pick


    vegetables for them.


    “Five thousand? This is a vintage porcin vase! Do you get it? It''s an antique! I''m sorry, but if you


    don''t pay me the fifty million, I''ll have to report you to the police and have you arrested.”


    When James realized she could only pay him five thousand, he threatened her as his face darkened.


    When Mandy heard that, she was so terrified that she went limp, copsing to the ground on her


    buttocks. Cold sweat drenched her entire body.


    “Mr. Smith, could you please ept her five thousand aspensation out of respect for me?”


    Just as James was about to call the cops, Harold walked out of the room and said indifferently.


    Craig, who was trailing behind James as they rushed to the scene, noticed Harold walk out of a private


    room in the distance.


    Startled, he quickly walked the other way and dialed James'' phone number.


    “Our boss spent fifty million to acquire this vintage porcin vase. Who do you think you are, asking


    him to throw away his money in that manner?”


    The waiter who had been keeping an eye on Mandy asked Harold mockingly the moment she heard


    what he said.


    Meanwhile, James gave him an unfriendly look as well.


    Upon realizing that, Harold smiled without saying a word.


    He had just seen Craig''s figure, so he expected Craig to reveal his identity soon.


    When James saw Harold''s expression, he wanted to fly into a rage, but his phone abruptly rang.


    He nced at his phone and saw that it was Craig calling, so he picked it up right away.


    In the next second, a shocked expression appeared on his face as he turned to face Harold.


    “What do you think, Mr. Smith? Do I now have your respect?” Harold smiled as he asked James.Content ? provided by N?velDrama.Org.
