Chapter 89 A Disaster
“Cherry, you broke this exhibit!”
“What to do now? How much does it cost?”
“This looks very expensive. Cherry, you have caused a disaster.”
Cherry heard her friends‘ chaotic voices and frowned while staring blankly at the tiles under her feet. “I
didn’t mean to. I was thinking about something just now when I heard a voice behind me. And this
porcelain jar was shattered when I turned around.”
As soon as she said this, the staffs who were moving the exhibit were annoyed. “Miss, all of us were
protecting this exhibit; but you were in our way. We asked you to step aside, but you moved so wildly
that your bag slammed on the exhibit.”
“Since you are transporting the exhibit, why didn’t you take protective measures? How could it be
swiped on
the ground? It seems like you don’t care about it at all.”
Cherry was very annoyed. Everything went wrong recently, and her misfortune even caused trouble in
an art gallery. She felt upset and blurted out, “Who knows if you smashed it and tried to slander me on
purpose!”
Her unreasonable attitude made a young staff lose his temper. He rushed forward excitedly but was
stopped
by someone.
The conflict and noise attracted the owner of the art gallery. When the owner saw the broken tiles on
the
ground, cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
He was an elder, so he managed to keep calm while facing this kind of disaster. He said gently, “Miss,
your must be responsible for your words. This is the largest art gallery in Fort, and surveillance
cameras are everywhere. We’ll know about the truth after checking the video.”
Cherry felt embarrassed. When her friends were looking at the exhibits, she accidentally stood at the
back. and happened to block the road. She was pondering and startled when she heard the voice
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtbehind her, so her movement was wild indeed. And she even felt her bag slammed on the porcelain jar.
“This exhibit was right next to you. We just removed the protective cover and were going to put it on the
stand.” The young staff said indignantly.
Cherry looked at the place he pointed, and there was an empty stand beside her indeed.
Many people were attracted by the quarrel and gathered around. Cherry was surrounded in the middle
and felt ashamed. She took out her purse and said impatiently, “Okay! Tell me how much it is, and I’ll
pay you!”
As she spoke, she took a stack of money and a few cards from her bag and slapped them on the staff’s
face.
“Is this enough? There are still tens of thousands in the cards. Take them as a tip.”
Cherry’s eyes were full of superior arrogance.
The staff sneered and said, “Who do you think you are? You only have a few thousand and dare to slap
the
money on us? Why did you pretend to be a rich girl? So disgusting.”
Get Bogus
Cherry was taken aback for a moment. Then her face was full of anger. She pointed at the staff angrily,
and
her manicure was as hypocritical as herself. “What do you mean!”
“Do you know what you’ve broken?” The owner smiled angrily and picked up a piece of porcelain on
the
ground.
Cherry was anxious. She couldn’t recognize this porcelain jar, but she didn’t want to admit her stupidity.
She
thought it was just an antique with common patterns, which wouldn’t be very worthy.
“It’s just a porcelain jar with blue patterns! I have a lot of these in my house. What’s so special about
it?” She looked haughty and didn’t believe this art gallery would have some priceless exhibits.
The owner chuckled lightly with irony. “You have a lot of these in your house? Haha!”
A girl behind Cherry gently tugged at her sleeve; she blushed and was very embarrassed. “Cherry, this
is not an ordinary porcelain jar. It was made for the ancient royal family. Although it is broken and I can’t
recognize the pattern, it is still very expensive. You’re in great trouble.”
Cherry’s heart skipped a beat, and she asked weakly, “Then you tell me how much this jar… this
exhibit
worth?”
The owner of the art gallery smiled and raised two fingers.
“Two million?” Cherry’s eyes widened.
A staff let out a chuckle, and the owner shook his head.
“Twenty million?” Cherry held her breath and exclaimed in a sharp voice. Under her unbelievable gaze,
the owner shook his head again.
“At least two hundred million!”
Cherry felt dizzy and screamed desperately, “What nonsense are you talking about? How could a
porcelain jar be worth 200 million? Are you crazy?”
She clutched the bag tightly, and her long nails almost broke, but she was too dizzy to feel any pain.
Cherry’s face was full of panic. How could this even be possible? She only broke an exhibit accidentally
and got a 200 million debt.
“I… Everyone, how could a jar be worth 200 million? I don’t believe it! Are you trying to trick me
because I’m rich?”
Cherry’s voice suddenly became sharp and piercing. She felt that these people must have taken her for
a fool. How could an antique worth 200 million be exhibited in a crowded gallery? It should be in a
museum!
The owner of the gallery didn’t argue with her. He rolled his eyes and made a call, which was quickly
picked
up.
The owner’s expression became respectful, and he said cautiously, “Mr. Green, something happened.
Can I trouble you to come over? I’m sorry, the antique you lent us was accidentally broken by a lady.
Yes, okay. She and I will wait for you right here.”
Cherry was scared by his severe and respectful tone. She asked him immediately after he hung up the
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmphone. “Who did you call? And what did he say?”
The owner’s mild face suddenly turned serious. “It’s the owner of this exhibit. Mr. Green will arrive
soon. Let’s wait for a moment. Don’t clean up the pieces; we need them as evidence.”
“Oh, by the way.” He glanced at Cherry’s unhappy face and said, “Mr. Green is mighty. I hope you can
control your temper and don’t mess with him. Otherwise, none of us can save you.”
Cherry clenched her bag tightly, and her palms were full of cold sweat.
Mighty? Who else in Fort was as mighty as Alston?
None of the onlookers left. They knew the exhibit’s owner would come soon and couldn’t wait to see
the
show.
As time passed, Cherry’s mood worsened, but she didn’t dare call her family. Her father will be busy
dealing with the Smith Group, and her mother’s mood worsened after receiving a call from her family
this morning. If
she dared to make another trouble, her parents would scold her to death.
After about twenty minutes, when Cherry was running out of patience, someone shouted while panting.
“Mr.
Green is here!”
The surrounding crowd immediately moved out of the way.
Lorenz walked over leisurely. He was very delicate and handsome, but his expression was indifferent.
He had a noble temperament which made him look like a royal prince.
Cherry’s friends blushed and looked over in excitement. They all tidied their hair and clothes nervously.
Cherry saw Lorenz and felt like she was thrown into an ice cellar.
The owner of this exhibit turned out to be Lorenz! How could she forget that Lorenz had also arrived in
Fort?
Lorenz didn’t like the Miller family. He would never spare her after knowing that she had broken the
exhibit!
“Who broke it?” Lorenz walked into the circle and asked the owner, who was sweating profusely.
The owner pointed directly at Cherry and said in a cold voice, “This lady broke it.”
Lorenz looked over casually and smiled when he saw Cherry’s face. He was a handsome man, but his
smile
made everyone frightened.
“Miss Miller, what a coincidence. We meet again.”
