The Girlboss Begs for Remarriage novel Chapter 2487

Despite Meg's rage, she still refused to cause a scene. "Fine! We're not buying now, alright?!"

However, seeing her ready to leave somehow led the butcher to believe that she could be bullied. "No way! I've already cut the meat—I have to eat it if you don't buy it!"

"You're just screwing with me, aren't you?!"

Meg bellowed furiously. "I asked for five, but you insisted on giving me six and even charged me way above the standard price! It's also one pound less than you claim, and even then, you insisted on me paying you anyway! Whoever gave you that confidence?!"

The butcher simply laughed. "Cut the crap already. You're either paying or you aren't leaving!"

Then, he turned to yell out loud, "Everyone, gather round! Check out this woman—she can't even afford beef, but look at her getup! She clearly just came to flex on us! Help me out here, everyone!"

Many customers were immediately gathering around them, pointing and gesturing at Meg, which left her even more furious. "Don't listen to him! He's inflating the price and selling me short!"

"Bullshit!" the butcher spat. "Do you have proof?!"

Meg picked up the slab of beef and asked out loud, "Can someone lend me a weighing scale?"

Panicking, the butcher quickly shook his head at the other stall owners.

They were all locals, and since they would keep running to each other, the other stall owners all shook their heads at Meg.

The butcher smirked at Meg in turn—what could she do now?

That was when Frank suddenly said, "Not a problem. We will just buy a weighing scale directly—let's see how far a mere butcher like you can strut."

"The fuck did you say?!" the butcher bellowed, as he knew he could not allow that to happen when he was clearly at fault.

Frank did not back down, however. "I said I'm getting another weighing scale. If you really sold us short, I'll tear down your stall!"

Furious, the butcher pointed his cleaver at Frank. "Say that again, I dare you!"

Everyone realized with a start—the butcher's scales clearly counted a full pound more!

On top of that, Frank held up the card. "See, it says here that it's seven dollars per pound, but he quoted a higher price when we were going to pay. Don't you think people like him should be taught a lesson?"

Everyone nodded—the butcher certainly deserved it! Who did business like that?!

Frank then took a bucket of water and splashed it on the butcher, jolting him awake.

However, he did not know what had just happened and yelled, "How dare you! This is aggravated assault! I'll make you pay, just wait!"

The crowd around them were laughing.

"You can quit yapping. The kid had already proven his innocence when you passed out! To think that you're so vile that you raised the price on the spot and even used modified scales. How despicable!"

Shocked, the butcher wheeled on Frank with a deadly glare. "How dare you… You ruined my livelihood!"
