Lingering Doting Marriage: Big Boss, Little Sweet Heart-Chapter 577 - : Slapping Faces

Chapter 577: Chapter 577: Slapping Faces

She couldn’t believe that this man would actually pay!

Over 15 thousand dollars for a dress, even if this man could afford it, she couldn’t believe he wouldn’t feel the pinch!

But Baron Lawrence really didn’t care. He could casually write a check for 15 thousand dollars just to learn how to bathe a baby, so why would he care about the cost of this dress? Maintaining a poker face, he followed the female artist’s asking price and threw her a check, “Here’s the money you wanted.”

Until she picked up the check, she didn’t believe he actually had one. Once she verified the check and the amount on it, it felt like her throat was blocked, and she couldn’t utter a word.

The manager stepped in to smooth things over, “There you go, sir. Sorry for the trouble.”

With that, she tried to lead the female artist away.

Baron Lawrence put away his pen and spoke casually, “Wait a moment.”

The two of them stopped.

“Did I say you could leave?” Baron Lawrence’s cold gaze swept over them, his tone domineering and forceful, “Take it off.”

“What?”

Even Enna didn’t understand, what did he want her to take off?

Then, she heard the man beside her utter a jaw-dropping demand, “You named the price, I gave the money. Naturally, the dress is mine now. So, I want you to take it off and give it back to me!”

I want you to take it off and give it back to me!

It was an utterly humiliating demand, yet it was entirely logical and legal!

The female artist had asked Enna to compensate her for the dress, and Baron Lawrence had done so. So, it was only natural that the dress should rightfully belong to him.

His request to return it wasn’t unreasonable at all.

But, under such a public setting, this demand was more than unreasonable – it was like slapping them in the face!

With a sheepish smile, the manager tried to smooth things over, “Sir, could you let Vivi go to the hotel and change before returning the dress?”

“I want her to take it off right now!” Firm, resolute, and leaving no room for negotiation!

Realizing that she had provoked a man who should not be provoked, the female artist’s face flushed while she sought help from her manager.

Stuck between a rock and a hard place, the manager wished she could just go back to her agency, report to her superiors, and ask to never have to deal with such a third-tier star ever again. Despite being only a third-tier star, she often caused more trouble than top-tier and second-tier celebrities, with little to no resources available to clean up her mess. Relying on her minor fame, she always thought highly of herself, without the vision and humble nature of top-tier and second-tier stars, she had more ambition than anyone else, and couldn’t be stopped once she started causing trouble.

Still, since it was her responsibility to protect her client, the manager gritted her teeth and pleaded with a smile, “Sir, Vivi is a girl, and with so many people here, it isn’t appropriate. How about we return the check and forget about the dress having been dirtied?”

“Forget it? You think you can just forget it like that? I don’t like to repeat myself – strip!” Baron Lawrence’s eyes were cold and devoid of warmth, enough to freeze someone to death.

Realizing the situation at hand, the manager reluctantly turned to the arrogant female artist and said, “Vivi, take off the dress and give it back to this gentleman.”

“He Jie! But there are so many people here…” The female artist clearly did not want to comply.

The manager’s face darkened, anger surfaced in her eyes, “I told you to leave it be, but you didn’t listen. Now take it off right away!”

If she did so now, the matter might be settled.

If she continued to make a fuss, more devastating consequences likely awaited her!
