The staff on the side were amused, “Reproduction? Do you know what reproduction represents? We have to start a new production line. Is it worth all the trouble just for your desire to have a seal?
This is a limited edition, once it’s sold out, it’s gone…”
Chandler ignored the staff member’s words.
However, unlike others who don’t believe, Tina believes. She knows that whatever Chandler says, he can definitely make it happen.
The staff attempted to hand over the seal to Lonny again, but
Chandler’s subordinates once again blocked them.
Upon seeing the situation, the staff immediately made an internal call and said, “Send a few people over here, there are people causing trouble.”
When Laura heard this, she sneered at Tina and said, “Soon, you will be kicked out! How pathetic!”
Tomorrow, she will definitely go to class and tell her classmates about this, so that more people can mock Tina!
Lonny remained silent, pursing his lips. He knew that if he mentioned the name of the White Maple
Group, the staff would be too afraid to ask the security guards to remove them.
But since the other person didn’t say anything, why bother bringing it up?
For him, it’s like watching a good show. He can just stand by and watch. If he ends up embarrassing himself, it’s not just his own embarrassment, but also the embarrassment of the White Maple
Group. If the boss finds out, he might even be pleased.
After a moment, several security guards in event uniforms quickly walked over. The staff pointed at Chandler, about to have the guards escort Chandler and Tina out of the venue. Suddenly, a voice rang out, “Wait!”
The staff looked up, but suddenly froze in shock!
The person running over was none other than Vice President
Gary.
“Why did you come, Vice President Gary?” the staff asked in surprise.
Lonny and Laura also looked dumbfounded.
Lonny was shocked and felt that something seemed to be exceeding his expectations.
“Vice President Gary, I…” Lonny took a step forward, intending to exchange a few words with Vice
President Gary.
But Vice President Gary walked straight past him, without even looking at him, and went straight to Chandler. “Mr. Hunter, I’m sorry for the neglect. Please forgive me!”
Upon hearing this, everyone was dumbfounded again, even the security guards who were called over by the staff looked confused.
However, those security guards were also relieved that they had not forcibly removed the person from the venue.
Otherwise, they would have offended someone like Vice President Gary, who even had to address someone as “young master” with respect!
Chandler looked at Vice President Gary in front of him, his facial expression remained unchanged, and he simply explained what had happened.
Upon hearing this, Vice President Gary immediately said, “This seal was not reserved. If you like it, Mr. Hunter, feel free to take it.
And if there is anything else in this exhibition that catches your eye, please feel free to take that as well.”
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was immediately shocked.
Lonny spoke urgently and authentically, “Vice President Gary, don’t you recognize me? I am the butler of the Mond family. Our master is the head of the Mond Group…”
But Lonny was interrupted by Vice President Gary before he could finish speaking. “Listen here, Lonny. I don’t care who you are or who your family is. I never made an appointment for you to use this seal, so it doesn’t belong to you.”
As he spoke, Vice President Gary took the seal directly from the staff’s hand and handed it over to Chandler, saying, “Since
Mr. Hunter was the first to see this seal and has confirmed his intention to buy it, it should naturally be given to Mr. Hunter.”
Chandler took over and instructed his subordinates to pay.
Vice President Gary wanted to stop him, but Chandler said, “The money has to be paid, I bought it for Tina.”
Vice President Gary’s attention then shifted to Tina, who was standing next to Chandler. Chandler handed over the set of stamps to Tina, and she immediately smiled.
“By the way, this girl seems to like this set of stamps!” Vice
President Gary thought to himself.
“Okay, do you want to keep shopping?” Chandler asked Tina.
Tina shook her head. Although she was quite happy to have received this set of stamps, she no longer felt like exploring the exhibition hall. “I’m hungry and I want to eat something,” she said.
“Okay, let’s go,” said Chandler as he took Tina’s hand and walked towards the outside of the exhibition hall.
Suddenly, Laura spoke out in anger, “Tina, what’s with your attitude? My parents said that you’re just a child bride. Do you even know what that means? It means your parents sold you!
Your parents don’t even want you anymore!”
As soon as she said this, Lonny’s face suddenly changed.
After all, there are some things that can be said at home without consequence, but once said outside, one must be especially careful. This is particularly true in the current situation. Lonny understands that
Mr. Hunter is not an ordinary person, and his background is even more powerful than the Mond family.
This is why Vice President Gary completely ignores the Mond family and only seeks to please Mr. Hunter.
Tina stopped in her tracks and turned to glare at Laura. “You’re lying. My parents didn’t sell me off as a child bride!”
“You’re the one! You’re the one!” exclaimed Laura. “If you don’t believe me, just ask your big brother here! Ask him if you’re not his stepdaughter…”
Laura suddenly stopped speaking because Chandler’s gaze was coldly fixed on her, causing a feeling of fear to well up in her heart.
Make her even more scared than getting caught cheating on an exam!
“Chandler!” Tina looked at Chandler anxiously.
“I remember the Mond family,” said Chandler in a calm tone. He then lowered his head and met Tina’s anxious and doubtful gaze. “Tina, let’s go. I’ll tell you everything you want to know.”
He took Tina’s hand and left while speaking.
Lonny looked worried and asked, “Miss, why did you say that just now?”
“I didn’t say anything wrong!” Laura said confidently, shaking off her fear. “Anyway, I heard from my parents that she was a child bride, you know, a girl who was sold by her own parents!”
“But the Stephenson family shouldn’t be in that situation. The kind of people who are sold are usually from families who are too poor to take care of their daughters, so they sell them as child brides.”
Lonny explained. “Anyway, Miss, you shouldn’t have said that just now, and you shouldn’t say it again in the future.”
“Why, I don’t want to!” Laura said unhappily.
Lonny felt uncomfortable speaking in front of others about his own miss because the Mond family was too powerful to mess with.
The Stephenson family alone is enough to give the Mond family a headache, not to mention Mr. Hunter, whose background is probably on par with, if not surpassing, that of the Stephenson family.
Vice President Gary, who was standing aside, looked at Lonny with sympathy. “I think the Mond family should start planning ahead. If Mr. Hunter decides to let go of today’s incident, then it’s fine. But if he decides to take action, then the Mond family…”
Vice President Gary didn’t finish his sentence, but Lonny already understood what he meant.
“What kind of person is Mr. Hunter?” Lonny asked cautiously.
“In short, they are people who cannot be provoked by the Mond family,” Vice President Gary replied.
Upon hearing this, Lonny’s face turned extremely pale, while
Laura remained confused and unaware that her actions today would change the course of her future.
Tina followed Chandler to the outside of the venue.
Chandler asked Tina, “Didn’t you say you were hungry? What would you like to eat?”
“Chandler, can you tell me, am I really a child bride? Did my parents sell me?” Tina is concerned about this issue.
She didn’t want to believe Laura’s words because she understood that Laura was intentionally saying those things to make her angry, sad, and upset.
But Chandler didn’t argue, which made her feel uneasy.
If what Laura said was false, why didn’t Chandler say anything earlier?!
Chandler looked at Tina and said, “Let’s find a place to eat and I’ll talk to you while we eat, okay?”
She bit her lip nervously.
“What do you want to eat?” Chandler continued to ask.
“Donuts,” she muttered.
So he took her to a famous dessert restaurant in Emerald City, found a small private room, and ordered some sweets that she liked.
Although Tina was uneasy, she couldn’t resist her favorite sweets and picked them up with her little hands to eat.
But even though she was eating, her eyes were still on Chandler, waiting for him to tell her what Laura said and what was going on.
“Do you want to know if you’re a child bride?” Chandler spoke up.
Laura nodded.
“Do you know what ‘adopted wife’ means?” he asked.
She blinked her eyes and had some idea about the concept of
“adopted wife”, but she couldn’t express it fully.
Chandler said, “Adopted wife refers to the practice of a girl being raised by the husband’s family, or the family of the groom, until she reaches adulthood and then officially marries the son of that family. In the past, some areas were very poor and families could not afford to raise their daughters, so they would sell them to other families as ‘adopted wife.”
Tina blinked her eyes and said, “So, my parents are not poor, and
I was not raised by someone else. It was my parents who raised
1. Therefore, I am not a child bride, am I?”
