Chapter 635: All Out

After being mocked and criticized by Kylie repeatedly, Lucas couldn’t help becoming furious.

He initially only felt that her mockery was rather bizarre, and he was confused as to why she was finding trouble with him for no reason. But since they used to be college classmates, he decided not to hold it against her. However, she seemed to treat him as a pushover and wouldn’t stop until she trampled him to death.

Besides, Jane had merely handed the Bodhi beads to him upon his request as a customer. Yet Kylie dismissed her for ‘violating the store rules’, which was truly overboard and arrogant of her.

“Kylie, what do you know about me? Have we even spoken to each other before? On what grounds are you concluding that I can’t afford the items in the Heavenly Pavilion?” Lucas said coldly with a dark expression. He was giving off a naturally domineering and inviolable aura, making Kylie’s face stiffen. And she couldn’t help feeling a sense of diffidence and weakness.

But she soon snapped back to her senses and was even more infuriated by the fact that she had actually been intimidated by Lucas for a moment. “You’re just a penniless man who became Cheyenne Carter’s live-in husband, which is why you can freeload off of her. You think I don’t know about those distasteful matters of yours? You’re just a freeloading piece of garbage who’s dirtying the Heavenly Pavilion by stepping into this place!”

Kylie’s words were extremely hostile. Especially when she said Cheyenne’s name, her tone was full of hatred and envy.

Lucas instantly understood that her inexplicable hatred toward him probably stemmed from him being Cheyenne’s husband.

But after giving it a casual thought, he immediately recalled that although Kylie had a bad reputation in school, she often boasted about being the campus belle, thinking that she could subdue countless boys because of her beauty.

But at the time, the person everyone in the school recognized to be the school belle was Cheyenne, not Kylie. Later on, Cheyenne was even lauded as the ‘most beautiful woman in Orange County’. In the eyes of Kylie, Cheyenne was an existence who made her crazy with envy.

Seeing the twisted look of resentment and envy on Kylie’s face, Lucas only felt that she was incredibly ridiculous.

When Lucas and Cheyenne were in college, they had never had any contact with Kylie. Moreover, after graduating for more than six years, they bumped into each other in San Francisco by chance, yet she came to him and barked at him like a mad dog, making him feel utterly repulsed.

“Miss Reed, how can you say that? Even if Mr. Gray is your former college classmate, he is now here as a customer of the Heavenly Pavilion. No matter what, you shouldn’t speak so maliciously when speaking to customers.”

As an outsider and a junior employee of the Heavenly Pavilion, Jane couldn’t stand hearing Kylie’s words at all. She said seriously, “Every single day, many customers come to the Heavenly Pavilion. Some people genuinely want to purchase something, but most people are here to browse without any intention of buying. But we can’t chase customers out of the store just because we assume that they can’t afford anything here.

“Besides, Mr. Gray has already said that he wants to buy these two items. How can you assume that he can’t afford to pay for them? Won’t it be clear whether or not he can afford them when it’s time to make the payment? Why do you have to be so overbearing and insult Mr. Gray so aggressively?

“Furthermore, I haven’t violated any of the store rules, and you have no right to fire me without a valid reason!’

Jane went all out and blurted all the things she had wanted to say but had been suppressing all this while.

She knew that her actions today might completely anger Kylie and cause her to lose her job, but she had already been suppressed by Kylie enough. After nearly three months, she didn’t manage to close a single deal at all. She even had to suffer bullying constantly. Instead of being branded as an incompetent employee and getting kicked out at the end of her probation period, she would rather just reveal all the things she wanted to say.

She would at most just quit. She was a university graduate, so how could she possibly starve to death just because of the loss of this job?

Jane’s unusual behavior immediately made Kylie, who had always been arrogant and used to bossing others around, enraged.

She had always been the one to reprimand her subordinates, yet she was now being rebuked for her behavior by a salesperson in front of everyone, making Kylie feel embarrassed.

Anger surged from her heart, and she blew her top. She raised her hand to slap Jane and snapped, “Outrageous! Who do you think you are? How dare you try to teach me?”

Jane was completely caught off guard as she watched Kylie slap her. She was just an ordinary girl who led an ordinary life. Since she was a child, let alone being in any fights, she had never even watched others fight. Facing such a brutal and tyrannical woman like Kylie, who got physical at every turn, she was immediately stunned. She froze in shock and even forgot to dodge!

Kylie’s fingernails were long, and her slap was very hard. If this slap landed on Jane’s face, it would be scratched!

Smack!

Just as Kylie was about to scratch Jane’s face, Lucas suddenly raised his hand and grabbed Kylie’s wrist, preventing her from continuing.

“You want to slap her just because you can’t outargue her? Aren’t you going overboard?” Lucas stared at Kylie’s eyes coldly.

Only then did Jane return to her senses and see the sharp fingernails right in front of her and about to poke her face. She cried out in shock and hurriedly took two steps back away from Kylie. Only then did she feel relieved.

But she was also surprised. She didn’t expect that Lucas, who seemed to be extraordinarily good-tempered, would help her stop Kylie from slapping her.

A trace of shock appeared on Kylie’s ruthless face.

She remembered Lucas to be taciturn in college. Although he was good-looking, he was often ostracized and bullied because of his humble background. At the time, he would just suck it up and remain silent.

But Lucas, whom she thought was a wimpy good-for-nothing, actually dared to grab her hand and stop her!

“Lucas Gray, are you tired of living? You actually dared to grab my hand? If my husband finds out, he definitely won’t spare you!” Kylie hollered menacingly while trying her best to retract her hand.

Lucas sneered. “Do you think all men want to take advantage of you just because you’re a woman? You’re being too narcissistic!”

With that, he let go of her wrist as if he was throwing away something dirty.

“Ah!” Because Kylie had been struggling hard, she was thrown off balance. Moreover, she was wearing a pair of 12-centimeter tall stilettos, so she lost her balance and fell onto the floor on her butt.
