Chapter 425
However, Mariah simply ignored him and shot a disdainful glance at Vivian,
her loyal follower while signaling her to teach this man a lesson. If he wants
to receive his payment, he has to behave like a good dog.
Vivian understood the message instantly and immediately adopted a
condescending attitude and spoke to Emmanuel with nothing but disdain,
“Heh you heartless creature. Do you even have the audacity to ask for
money? Perhaps you’re not aware that the money you spent at our
restaurant was advanced by Madam Lofis?”
In her eyes, he was nothing more than a despicable loser. It was precisely
because of his low status that he would tirelessly pursue a meager salary of
just over 1,000. With no money, no power, and being an outsider; she had the
freedom to hit and curse him as she pleased.
“Miss Zora, please speak with respect,” Emmanuel argued while standing his
ground. “It was agreed upon that the restaurant provided meals but not
accommodation. However, now you deliberately twisted the truth. If you
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtpersist in refusing to pay me my salary, I will have no choice but to file a
lawsuit.”
“Hehe…” Vivian burst into mocking laughter. “You want to take me to court for
a mere 1,000? Fine, do you have the money to hire a lawyer? Are you certain
you’ll win?”
He was truly infuriated by Vivian’s shameless behavior. He didn’t know what
cards she held, but at this point, he was not only fighting for his salary but
also his pride. Despite the opponent’s unreasonableness, he was determined
to seek justice, even if it meant exhausting all his efforts.
Unexpectedly, at that moment, Madam Lofis opened a drawer and took out a
stack of 5,000 bills, and forcefully slammed it on the table. She looked at
Emmanuel with a triumphant and condescending gaze.
“So, you want money, huh? I have plenty. If you crawl over here like a dog and
lick my toes, I’ll reward you with this 5,000. If you behave even better, I have
more money for you. Hehe…”
That contemptuous gaze and self-righteous expression made him feel
insulted on a personal level. The former Northern Region Wolf Warrior, who
had once been respected, was now being treated like a dog just because he
had come to work to conceal his tracks and complete his mission.
“Madam Lofis! This… Are you sure?” Vivian couldn’t help but feel a tinge of
jealousy in her eyes upon hearing those words. She had worked so hard to be
Mariah’s loyal follower, but she had never received such generosity from
Mariah before!
This man would receive 5,000 just for crawling? Why couldn’t she have such a
stroke of luck?
“You shut up and leave!” Mariah dismissed Vivian with a single command.
Then, she walked straight to Emmanuel, full of pride. “How about it? Are you
tempted?”
Emmanuel felt a sense of disgust in the face of her flirtatious behavior.
“Madam Lofis, please have some self-respect! If your parents saw you like
this, they would surely be ashamed.”
“You-” Mariah’s face turned red with anger and she tried to slap him in
frustration. However, Emmanuel calmly dodged the attack.
Vivian joined in with loud insults, jeering, “For a loser like you to catch Madam
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm
Lofis’ eye, it’s a privilege you’ve earned in your three lifetimes. How dare you
dodge when Madam Lofis hits you?”
Mariah continued to berate him. “Exactly! You’re destined to never marry with
your poor status! Accept your lowly position and stop pretending to be
virtuous. How disgusting!”
Emmanuel felt frustrated as he felt belittled in such a manner. He had only
come to collect his salary, so why should he endure this humiliation?
Unfortunately, the two offenders were women which made it difficult for him
to retaliate physically.
At that moment, the office door was kicked open.
When Emmanuel saw the familiar figure standing there, he thought he was
hallucinating!
Mackenzie?
How could she be here?
Emmanuel rubbed his eyes and realized that he wasn’t seeing things. It also
wasn’t a case of mistaken identity!
