Chapter 77 The Anxious Head of the Meyer Family
"What are you still standing there for? Show your gratitude to Mr Gardner!" Fred reminded Sophia.
"Th-thank you, thank you so much!" Sophia looked at Billy gratefully and bowed.
Being a store manager for a top luxury brand was not an easy job to come by. It was definitely agreat position with several times higher income than regular employees.
"No problem. I believe you can handle it!" Billy responded with a smile.
At this moment, an ear-piercing ringtone sounded and Rita became alarmed. She picked up herphone and saw that the call was from her company. Finally, she answered the call.
In less than one minute, she collapsed in despair. Her company informed her that they wereterminating their contract with her effective immediately and all of the programs and advertisementsshe had recorded would no longer be aired. They also warned her not to continue working in theentertainment industry as she had been blacklisted by them-no other company would dare sign withher now. Her company had invested heavily in promoting her career but now they were cutting tiesjust like that-unless there was immense pressure on them, they wouldn't have done such a thing.
"Lucas, please help me! Talk to the company, ask them not to blacklist me..." Rita stuttered,crawling towards Lucas.
Lucas frowned at her words. He instinctively glanced at Billy, having a strong sense of foreboding.Earlier on the phone, Billy had mentioned three things and two of them had already come true.
"Lucas, please help me..." Rita continued to plead.
"Get out of here!" Lucas was too annoyed to deal with her. Then he turned to Billy and asked, "Whoare you?"
"No hurry, it'll be your turn soon." Billy replied nonchalantly before turning his attention back toSophia. "Miss, can you show me some clothes now?"novelbin
"Sophia! What are you waiting for?" Fred urged her.
"Oh? Of course!"
Less than twenty minutes later, a group of the Meyer family members led by Roger Meyer rushedover.
"Dad?!" Lucas ran over after seeing his father arrive. He didn't expect his father to come in person,and a vague sense of unease rose in his heart.
Roger kicked his son down. Perhaps feeling unsatisfied, Roger kicked him twice more and snappedat him, "Are you trying to kill the Meyer family? You ungrateful son!"
"Dad..." Lucas looked confused.
"Shut up!" Roger roared and walked quickly towards Billy.
Without hesitation, he knelt down directly on the ground. The rest of the Meyer family followed suit.
"Mr Gardner, I'm sorry. I apologize on behalf of my son." said Roger. Then he turned to Lucas. "Youungrateful son! Why are you still standing there? Go beg Mr Gardner for mercy!"
The onlookers were petrified immediately; they stared at them with their mouths open wide inshock. The head of the mighty Meyer family actually kneeled publicly for a young man, which wastoo unbelievable! Chanel's representative was also shocked. He knew Roger well as the current
head of the Meyer family and an influential figure in Ozin society. He finally believed what his bosshad told him on the phone and thus he silently congratulated himself for making the wisest decisionearlier.
"I... I'm sorry, Mr Gardner. Please forgive me." Lucas crawled to Billy and kowtowed vigorously,shivering all over. Based on his father's reaction, now he knew that he had offended a big shot.
"Weren't you going to teach me a lesson just now?" asked Billy.
"I'm sorry... It's all my fault..."
"Mr Gardner, as an apology from the Meyer family, here's some compensation for you and MsKnight. I hope you can accept it." Roger trembled as he took out a check from his pocket andhanded it to Billy.
Twenty minutes ago when Derek called him, he was so alarmed by the news that even his phonefell off his hand. After all, Derek was currently one of the most influential people in Ozin; evenMaster Eight has to bow down before him. But Derek told him that the person his son offended wassomeone for whom even Derek himself would show great respect. That was not someone theMeyer family could afford to offend.
"You Meyer family is rich!" Billy said lightly as he looked at the eight zeros on the check.
"Do you think money can solve everything?"
"I..." After taking a deep breath, Roger's eyes flashed with a determined look. And, he broke Lucas'sarm.
With a crisp sound, Lucas's right arm immediately drooped down.
"Ah-" Lucas let out a scream like a slaughtered animal, and cold sweat broke out all over his body.
"Mr Gardner, do you think this will work?" asked Roger with pleading eyes.
"Billy, forget it. Let them go!" Harleen walked over and looked at Lucas's miserable state, feeling abit sorry for him. While speaking, her heart was also extremely shocked. Although she knew thatBilly's identity was definitely not simple, and he knew many people with status in Ozin, she didn'texpect that just one phone call from Billy could make the head of the Meyer family panic like this.She was very curious about who Billy just called.
Billy nodded slightly and looked at Roger.
"This time, consider it a lesson for your son. If I find out he's bullying people again next time, youshould know the consequences!"
"Thank you... Thank you, Mr Gardner. From now on, I... I will definitely discipline this rebellious sonwell!" Roger bowed and expressed his gratitude.
"Mr Gardner, please take this money..."
"Enough already. Take your son and leave. Don't disturb me while I'm shopping with Harleen!" Billycouldn't accept his money.
"Okay... okay, we'll leave right away!" Roger quickly responded. For him, sacrificing his own son'sarm for the peace of the entire Meyer family was quite a lucky break.
