Unfortunately, it was too expensive for him. Although Thea had given him one million dollars, the jadeplate cost more than three million. He carefully placed it back. However, he was incredibly nervous andcautious that he accidentally touched the cabinet and did not have a firm grip on the jade plate,resulting in it falling directly to the ground. Bang! The jade plate shattered into pieces in an instant.“This…”
Benjamin was immediately dumbfounded and stood aside, staring at it blankly.
Seeing this, Jasmine’s face also darkened. She reprimanded him angrily, “Sir, I already reminded youto be careful. You will have to compensate us according to the selling price if you break it.”
“I-I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to drop it.”
Benjamin kept apologizing.
“Is apologizing going to help? It’s worth three million and eight hundred thousand dollars. You shouldcompensate us according to the price. Otherwise, you won’t be able to leave our shop today!” Jasminethreatened him coldly and immediately took out her phone to call the Sovereign Antique Shop’s boss.
“Sir, a guest had accidentally broken a jade plate from six hundred AD to nine hundred AD area. Aftermaking the call, she stood aside and stared coldly at Benjamin’s pale face. Benjamin was absent-minded, and he was completely lost.
Soon, the boss, Yuri, came over.
There were a few muscular men with him.
“Sir, you should already know the rules. You break it, you compensate according to its selling price.This jade plate belongs to the six hundred AD to nine hundred AD period and is worth three million andeight hundred thousand. I won’t make it difficult for you and will give you a discount. You’ll only have topay three million and five hundred thousand dollars, and you can bring these fragments back to berepaired by an expert. Although it won’t be worth three hundred and five hundred thousand anymore,you can probably still sell it for two million dollars.”
“I-L..Sir, I didn’t do this on purpose. I really didn’t do it on purpose. I… I don’t have money.” “You don’thave money?”
Yuri’s face darkened, and he took a few steps back. Immediately, the muscular meng behind himstepped forward.
Yuri ordered, “Beat him. We’ll talk after he gets a beating. Also, don’t beat him here. Drag himdownstairs and beat him up on the streets as a warning to others.”
Benjamin was forcefully dragged down the stairs by two strong men. “Sir, I didn’t mean to do it. I reallydidn’t do it on purpose. Please just let me go…” Benjamin shouted.
First floor, lounge area. James had been waiting for a long time but the chest he had asked for had notbeen presented to him yet.
He was not in a rush, so he leaned back on the sofa and quietly smoked a cigarette.
At this moment, he saw two strong men dragging a middle-aged man down from the second floordirectly to the streets. The middle-aged man was pleading with them.
Seeing who it was, James frowned. “Why is Benjamin here?” As far as he knew, Benjamin was uselessand had no status in the Callahans. He did not dare to refute a word Gladys said.
“Cynthia, you sit here for a while. I’ll go out to have a look.” James got up and walked out of the shop.
Cynthia was curious and followed after him.
On the streets. Benjamin was thrown to the ground and let out desolate screams as he was punchedand kicked.
After a beating, Yuri came over, stepped on him, and looked down at him.
“We have rules at Sovereign Antique Shop. Since you don’t have money to pay after breaking things inour shop, you should use parts of your body to pay for it! This is a rule everyone knows about! Tell me,do you want to keep your hands or legs? This scene attracted the attention of many people passing by.
“Who is this person? How could he be so careless and break something in Sovereign Antique Shop?”
“Who gave him the courage to go inside without money?”
“I remember the last time someone broke an antique in there, he got his legs broken and had to spendthe rest of his life in a wheelchair.”
The onlookers pointed and discussed the commotion.
James stood aside and watched. He did not want to interfere since he had nothing to do with Theaanymore. The life and death of the Callahans was none of his business.
Yet, seeing Benjamin’s black and blue face as he constantly begged for mercy, James simply could notbear it.
He walked over and stopped them.
“What are you guys doing?” Yuri saw that it was James and immediately stopped.
He turned toward James and said with a smile, “He broke an antique and a shop but has no money topay. According to our rules…”novelbin
Seeing that the person being beaten was Thea’s father, Cynthia also stepped forward and said, “Howmuch is it? I’ll pay for it.”
