Chapter 1278 Theft
Seeing the storekeeper's terrible attitude, Darcy was furious.
She stepped up and argued, "If my mom and aunt really stole things from your store, you should call the cops and not ask the security to slap them and throw them out! What is that attitude? I demand an explanation!"
She sounded frosty.
As the president of Lilyrose Commerce Guild and the chairwoman of two big companies, Darcy gained a strong aura and confidence. In addition to her beautiful looks, the commotion attracted all the attention in the store.
Even the regular shoppers outside were captivated by her looks and voice.
"Paladia Moose's security slapped a customer? For real?"
"I think it's true. I heard something went down here and they claimed a customer stole from them."
"Look at the two ladies and that beautiful young woman. They don't look like thieves."
"God knows. I'm just here for the show."
The customers were engaged in a heated discussion.
As a crowd gathered, the storekeeper's expression turned serious.
However, her position gave her enough confidence, so she was not afraid of Darcy at all.
She signaled her colleagues and then said, "Whether they stole anything or not, they know the best. We didn't call the cops on them because they were senior citizens, so we chose to throw them out. Now you are bringing the problem back to us. Are you trying to embarrass yourself?"
The storekeeper was smart. She used Agnes and Agatha's age as the perfect excuse to not call the cops.
Everyone else looked at Agnes and Agatha differently.
Agnes was furious. She bellowed, "Nonsense! We stole nothing from your store! Don't accuse us! We bought ten sweaters from your store, each of them cost a fortune! Why would we steal if we can afford them?"
"Look! I still have the receipt!" Agatha said as she pulled out the piece of paper from her purse and showed it to everyone else.
The receipt fueled Agnes' confidence. She raised her voice and said, "You guys have no idea how arrogant and terrible the storekeepers are! They sold us fakes that stitch and smell weird!
"We tried to reason with them but they refused to refund and even accused us of theft! They also violently threw us out of the store! Is this how they conduct business?!"
Agnes' explosive voice and Agatha's proof enlightened the customers and shoppers.
They got a general idea of what happened.
"So the store takes advantage of two seniors?"
"Their price is expensive and they bullied consumers. They are going bankrupt soon!"
Some of the customers inside the store immediately stopped browsing and left the store.
The storekeeper's expression turned grim.
If she could not contain the situation, she might be fired.
While she was figuring out a way to solve the situation, a woman of noble presence came out from the office next to the store.
"The store manager is here!"
The nervous storekeepers regained their composure and calm following the woman's appearance.
The storekeeper who confronted Darcy said coldly, "The store manager is here. Do you have any idea who she is?"
