At that moment, Terry looked Melanie up and down with greed and excitement in his eyes. He said, "Miss Yu, Miss Loren is my friend. Is this how Emerald Plum Jewels treats their customers?"
His words obviously carried a tone of interrogation and blame.
However, Melanie was relentless. She then said in a cold voice, "Miss Loren was the one who took our necklace and refused to take it off. No matter what you say, she is unreasonable. If you don't believe it, let's call the police and have them settle the dispute."
When the police were mentioned, Loren became a little flustered instantly.
Terry snorted coldly and said to Melanie, "Miss Yu, that's funny. Miss Loren is a celebrity. It's lucky that she fancies your company's jewelry. It's great that she is willing to be your brand ambassador for free, but you insist that this incident is a theft and robbery. It's a great insult to Miss Loren!"
"Lucky? Ambassador? Great?" Melanie sneered disdainfully, "Emerald Plum Jewels isn't in desperate need for an endorsement from such a
celebrity!"
Her words were direct and disdainful, clearly intended for Loren.
Loren was fuming with anger. She held Terry's arms and kept shaking them.
Terry's expression turned dark and ugly. He had a close relationship with Loren. They had had several intimacies a couple of nights before.
It felt like Melanie was looking down on Loren which implied that she also looked down on his taste.
On the other hand, Terry had been coveting Melanie's Emerald Plum Jewels for quite some time.
Some time ago, when the Chung family was secretly oppressing Emerald Plum Jewels, Terry had met Melanie several times for negotiation. He hoped that she would eventually give in, or even perhaps have an intimate relationship with him in exchange.
However, his little plots were all coldly rejected by Melanie. He still held grudges against her because of those rejections.
The aggravated Terry initially prepared to oppress Melanie and her Emerald Plum Jewels, but to his surprise, his family decided that they would give up suppressing Emerald Plum Jewels and instead would get along with each other in peace.
Terry, who was about to vent out his frustration, had to suppress his anger which was very painful for him, due to that decision.
He was extremely depressed. In the recent few days, he actually went to Emerald Plum Jewels to find ways to deal with Melanie.
He never found a chance until that day when he met Loren. Hence, he could take advantage of Loren's incident as a way for his revenge to ease the resentment in his heart.
After listening to Melanie, Terry sneered and said, "Miss Yu, you're just doing business. It's a bit too much to say something like that!"
"A bit too much? I don't think so," Melanie said coldly.
Terry's face darkened and he said, "Isn't it just a necklace? Even if you don't want Miss Loren to endorse it, as a customer, you should still treat her with respect!"
"Customer?" Melanie looked at Loren coldly and said, "People who really want to buy things are customers. The robbers are the ones who take things for free."
"You..." When Loren heard her remarks, she became angrier. She shook Terry's arm and said coquettishly, "Young Master Chung, look at her.
Thinking of that, Terry coughed and with an ugly face, he made an excuse for himself, "The necklace is just so-so. It's not worth it."
He then put away his credit card and wallet. Loren, who was standing next to him, looked disappointed.
Melanie sneered and said, "Since you don't want to buy it, Miss Loren, please return our necklace!"
Loren was still unwilling to give up, and her eyes were constantly glancing at Terry.
At that moment, Terry's expression changed. He seemed to have thought of something as he waved his hand and said, "Wait a moment!"
"What else would you like to say, Young Master Chung? Do you want to buy the necklace again?" Melanie deliberately brought up the matter of buying the necklace, which made Terry's face darken.
He immediately snorted, staring at Melanie and said coldly, "Miss Yu, you seem to have forgotten one thing. A year ago, Emerald Plum Jewels made an agreement with the Chung family. You are supposed to transfer more than half of the shares to us."
"Now, on behalf of the Chung family, I'd like to ask for those shares."
Melanie's face fell when he mentioned that.
It was initially planned that the Yu family wanted her to marry a man from the Yue family so that they could achieve a better status. They signed an agreement with the Yue family. However, it was unexpected that the Yue family and the Chung family had secretly colluded with each other in order to take over the Yu family's assets. One of those assets was Emerald Plum Jewels.
However, that marriage was settled by Fade when the Yue family also surrendered to him. Lewis was taught a lesson by Fade at that time, so there was no further meddling in the matter since then.
