Chapter 488: Chapter 488: Miss Campbell Doesnât Pay When Shopping
âMiss Campbell, your total spending comes to 2,150,000 dollars, and thereâs a promotion in our store that offers a discount for purchases over five million dollars. Weâll just round down the total to 2,100,000 dollars for you. Would you like to pay by card orâŠâ
The store goes silent.
Zoe Campbellâs face darkens, her voice sharp: â20 million dollars?â
What the hell! Are these bags really worth that much?
The store managerâs face remains smiling: âItâs 2,100,000 dollars, Miss Campbell is from the Lokio Campbell family, Iâm sure you can afford it. If you donât have the money with you, someone can bring it to you, and you can wait here. Weâll prepare some coffee and pastries for you.â

Zoeâs face turns even more somber.
She snorts arrogantly, âWhat a load of crap! Youâre asking me for 20 million dollars for these shitty bags? Do you take me for a fool?! This is a rip-off! Fine, I wonât argue with you! Letâs go!â
With that, she turns to leave.
Xaviera Evans stops her with an indifferent look, giving her an official smile, âMiss Campbell, our shop specializes in luxury items, made of the most precious materials. The prices are clearly marked on these bags. Perhaps you didnât look closely. If⊠you feel that itâs unaffordable, you can return them.â
Zoe is only a daughter from an offshoot of the Campbell family. She finds it difficult to spend 20 million dollars all at once.
She yells in anger, âYou guys are ripping me off!â
âMiss Campbell, youâre misunderstanding.â Xaviera blinks. âAll the bags have prices clearly marked. If you find them expensive, you donât have to buy them. We wonât insist. But as a Campbell daughter, if you want to take the bags without paying, how is that different from robbery?â
âMiss Campbell, youâve accused me of ripping you off, but thatâs slander. You had your bodyguards clear the area, so our store could focus on serving you. Based on our usual sales volume, at least 3,000,000 dollars would have been earned during the time the area was cleared.â
âAnd because you drove away our customers, we need to compensate and appease them. That will also require some funds. The total amount for these would be more than 1,000,000 dollars.â
âIâve taken on these two expenses and didnât ask Miss Campbell to pay. Yet, you accuse me of ripping you off? If Miss Campbell really thinks so, I wonât put up with it any more. I hope youâll pay for the losses!â
Xenia Jaak canât help but laugh.
The store manager quickly calculates the losses and then reports: âMiss, the losses incurred by the customers you drove away are roughly estimated to be 3,700,000 dollars. The compensation paid to customers in the form of discount cards and gifts is 1,300,000 dollars. In total, thatâs exactly 5,000,000 dollars. If we add the previous 2,100,000 dollars, it comes to 2,600,000 dollars.â
âWhat? Youâre asking for more money? Pay up, or Iâll see you in court!â
Zoe, furious, fumes at the numbers: âI am a Miss Campbell, but dare you stop me? Itâs your honor to have me in your store!â
âIf people learn that Miss Campbell favors your bags, they will definitely follow suit. Iâm advertising for your store. Donât be ungrateful, asking me for money. I think youâve gone crazy with poverty!â
Zoe pushes Xaviera and strides towards the exit.
Xavieraâs eyes darken, âSince Miss Campbell is unwilling to pay, letâs call the police. If the news gets out, Miss Campbell will become infamous. The Campbell Company has invested in the development of a tourist project. If everyone knows Miss Campbell doesnât pay for her things, I wonder if they would still patronize the Campbell Company?â
âYou!â Zoe roars: âYou dare disgrace the Campbell name! I⊠Itâs your honor that Iâm willing to take things from your store, but⊠Youâre threatening me, are you? If I smash this damn store, will you believe me?â
âYou dare threaten me? Iâll make you pay dearly!â ÆĐłeewŃbnovel.com
Xaviera looks helpless, âAlright then. If thatâs the case, Iâll just have to seek help from the police. The bags youâve taken are worth more than 20 million dollars. When this issue blows up, the Campbell familyâs loss wonât be just over 20 million dollars. It could be 200 million dollars, or even more.â
Zoeâs face turns ugly, her teeth clenched.
Suddenlyâ
âMiss Evans, Zoe has been quite rude and ungrateful, I apologize on her behalf.â
