Chapter 15: He Came to Support Sandra
Sandra once again picked up the brooch.
"Do you see this scratch? It can only be made by a sharp object.
"If I hold it with my right hand, the scratch should be on the opposite side, not here!"
David had someone bring a magnifying glass and carefully examined the golden brooch.
He instantly felt extremely embarrassed.
They misunderstood Sandra.
Sandra looked at the saleswoman, who panicked and flinched.
"What's wrong? You seem hot," she asked with a smile.
Instantly, everyone turned to look at the saleswoman.
She was wiping the sweat off her forehead.
As the saying goes, a good conscience is a soft pillow.
She was so nervous because she had a guilty conscience.
Under everyone's watchful eyes, her face turned pale.
She didn't seem as arrogant as before.
Clearly, she had intentionally framed Sandra.
David's face turned livid with anger.
But he still had to handle this matter properly.
He smiled in a professional manner and apologized, "I'm so sorry, Mrs. Cooper. We misunderstood you."
Sandra retorted, "Just like that?"
David smiled helplessly, "It really was just a misunderstanding."
Sandra saw through it.
They wanted to get away with it.
She sneered.
"This is my first time at Briani Jewelry Store, and I haven't caused any unpleasantness with you yet!
"But you accused me of damaging the brooch!
"This saleswoman stopped me without reason.
"And you, Mr. Martin, without investigating the situation, wanted me to buy the brooch out of fear of affecting your business!
"Humph."
She chuckled coldly.
The intimidating aura that seemed to emanate from her bones made the onlookers shudder.
"You slander me and want to trample on my dignity. Can everything be resolved with just a misunderstanding?"
The onlookers were just curious.
But now, they were stirred up by Sandra.
They wished they could all become embodiments of justice and make Briani Jewelry Store shut down.
Seeing that the situation was a bit out of control, David gestured to the saleswoman.
The saleswoman could only suppress her anger and bow solemnly to Sandra.
"I'm sorry, Mrs. Cooper. I misunderstood you before. It's all my fault. Please forgive me."
David gritted his teeth and tried to maintain a gentle tone.
"Mrs. Cooper, we will give you this brooch for free as an apology. What do you think?"
Sandra sneered, "Do you think the Cooper family can't afford a brooch that was damaged by her?"
Angela's face turned gloomy.
"Wesley's money doesn't just fall from the sky, and besides, they have already apologized. It's a bit excessive for you to take advantage of the situation."
Sandra's tone was extremely cold.
"Excessive?"
She suddenly laughed coldly.
"I am your sister-in-law and the Mrs.Cooper. Now that I have been falsely accused, you think I have to forgive as long as they apologize? Am I too soft and weak, or is the Cooper family worthless in the eyes of others?"
Angela's face stiffened.
But she quickly reacted.
"What do you want to do then? Call the police? Make sure this saleswoman gets arrested?"
Sandra glanced at the saleswoman, whose face had turned pale.
"Since it happened at Briani Jewelry Store, it depends on Mr. Martin."
Then, she glanced at the entrance.
There were still many onlookers waiting for the store's final resolution.
"Mr. Martin, as you can see, many people are waiting to see how Briani Jewelry Store handles this. Otherwise, who would dare to come in and make a purchase?"
David also understood the importance of this matter.
Moreover, some people outside had already started taking photos and videos.
If this matter was not handled well, Briani Jewelry Store might face a public relations crisis.
David even wanted to kill the saleswoman.
But now, in front of so many people, he couldn't ask who had framed the saleswoman. He could only endure it for now.
After thinking it over, he could only look at Angela.
"Ms. Cooper, can you persuade Mrs. Cooper?"
He just wanted to know what the Cooper family wanted and end this as soon as possible.
He didn't mind compensating!
The saleswoman trembled all over.
If Sandra made an exorbitant demand, the losses today would be attributed to her.
Her career would be completely ruined.
Angela's soft voice sounded.
"It was indeed a misunderstanding, but you did hurt Sandra's feelings. If you directly compensate her with money, she may not be happy. Since she likes the items in your store, why don't you give her a membership card with a discount?"
David was overjoyed.
He didn't expect such a good idea.
It could both resolve this crisis and retain Sandra as a potential customer.
He didn't care whether Sandra had a good reputation as long as she spent money here.
"Our store's membership card gives an 80% discount. It's already the largest discount."
David spoke sincerely.
"But today, we did make a mistake. Mrs. Cooper, everything you buy today will be at a 50% discount!"
He had heard before that Sandra didn't have much money on her, and she couldn't even afford that brooch.
The store would lose some money because of this incident.
But they would make it back in the future. He could also maintain the store's reputation.
Angela chuckled.
"Wow, 50%! Sandra, if you can't make a decision, I will call Wesley and let him decide for you."
"No need!" Suddenly, a male voice sounded.
The onlookers at the entrance made way.
Wesley approached slowly in his wheelchair.
He naturally reached out his hand to Sandra.
Sandra was surprised.
Seeing that she didn't react, Wesley raised his hand higher and grabbed her hand.
Sandra's eyes widened.
"Let's go take a look inside."
The wheelchair automatically moved forward, and Sandra could only follow along.
David's face turned pale instantly.
If they were only going to the middle section, the losses wouldn't be too big. But he was afraid...
While praying that Wesley would leave him a way out, he saw the couple directly head to the inner section.
The items there were collectibles with most being priceless!
His heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly followed.
