Chapter 15 Defending Rosalind
Rosalind picked up the brooch.
“Look at the mark. It’s a scratch mark from something sharp
If I hold it in my right hand, the scratch mark will be on the back of the brooch, not this front“]
James asked for a magnifier and checked the gold brood again.
After examining, he felt his face Imurning up as if he had been slapped hard.]
The saleswoman panicked and looked everywhere as if she was trying to run. Rosalind looked at her and smiled.
“What’s wrong? You’re flushing
All gaze fr
All gaze fell on the saleswoman
She was wiping the cold sweat off her forehead
Why would she seem guilty if she had done nothing wrong?
She was fidgeting because she was at fault.
All colors drained from her face as she noticed everyone was looking at her.]]
The overbearing attitude when she stopped Rosalind was gone. She kept her head down timidly.
Without asking, people realized she was framing Rosalind
James expression was gloomy
Yes, he had to smooth things over
With a standard smile, he said in resignation. I’m sorry, Mrs Shaw, We made a mistake. [
Rosalind retorted, “A simple sorry can’t make this go away.
James smiled apologetically. “Its just a misunderstanding. ||
Rosalind knew what he was doing.
He was trying to get away without punishment.
Rosalind secred

junes squared his jaw and tried his best to keep his tone mild
“Mr. Shaw. I have an idea. Would you accept the brooch, is a gift?” |
Rosalind scoffed. “You’re giving me a broken brooch? You think the Shaw family can’t afford a bronch(“||
Evangeline watched the scene with a gloomy expression
“Thurs Peregrine’s hard earned money. Anyway, they’ve apologized. Con1 you just let it go? You’re so mean.
Rosalind replied aloofly

She uncered ||

Evangeline froze
Then, the recovered quickly
“What do you want to do? Call the police? Sue her and make her rot in
Rosalind glanced at the pale saleswoman and said.]]
It happens in celestine Gems. I’d let the manager decide whether we call the police or not?
she looked at the door]]
The now hadn’t left as people wanted to see the result.]
“You’ve seen the people outside. They want to see Celestine Gems‘ attitude toward something like this. Or prople would be afraid of shopping here“]
James understood how serious the situation was
Some people took out their phones to take pictures and film videos ||
He had to handle it well or it’d be a crisis to Celestine Gens
At that moment, he had the urge to strangle the saleswoman ()
However, in front of so many people, he couldn’t question her about whom was paying her to do this. James would have to
After contemplating for a while, James turned to Evangeline[]
“Ms. Shun, you and Mrs. Shaw are sisters in law. Would you to up with a better solution?||
He was suggesting that he’d accept the deal as long as the Shaw family named the conditions
He’d pay to make the crisis go away
The sadeswoman trembled in fear:[]
She worried that Rosalind would demand an exorbitant price and she’d ended up paying for the shop’s Inss
„Her career would be ruined ||
Wait
Evangeline said slowly
“I think, this is just a misunderstanding. However, you hurt Rosalind’s pride. She doesn’t care about money. I believe she likes your goods. How about you give her a VIP card and a discount?”
James was surprised.]
He regretted not thinking of such a good idea earlier.[]
Ind solve the crisis perfectly and keep Rosalind as a potential client.]
He didn’t care about
Rosalind’s bad reputation. Every customer deserved his utmost respeit
The VIP guest can have a 20% discount, which is the highest discount we can offer
James said sincerely, seemingly genuine shout his apology.]]
“But we’ve done wrong, I decided to give Mrs. Shaw a 50% off for everything she shops here today.”
He had heard Rosalind. She didn’t bring her card and couldn’t even afford the brooch.
The shop would lose some money because of his decision.
But he d
could earn
earn it back soon. Meanwhile, he’d protect the shop’s reputation. James thought it was a great deal.[]
Evangeline chuckled lowly.
A 50% off! Unbelievable Rosalind, if you can’t decide, I don’t mind calling Peregrine for you. He can make the calls.”
“Save it!“]
The crowd outside parted to make way
Peregrine came inside in his wheelchair.
As he reached Rosalind, he gave her his hand naturally.
Rosalind was at loss.
As Rosalind didn’t get the hint, Peregrine raised his hand and grabbed her hand.
Rosalind nearly jumped[]
Come un. Lets go inside.”
His wheelchair started rolling forward. Rosalind had to follow
