Lover Forced The Ruler

Chapter 35. The Girl on the Black List Mall

The sentence of Shopia who wanted to boast came to a halt. Her common sense began to think of something when she heard Steve talking to someone on her phone. Who was the one who became the protector of this village girl? Was he not misheard when this man mentioned the name of Mr Kent?

“You..... Who are you?” Shopia looked doubtfully.

Lisle saw Steve's cynical smile. He had never seen the man smile like that. It looks like someone's smile. Ah, ja. He remembered. That's how Mr. Kent smiles.

Shopia's question ignored Steve.

“We'd better get going Steve,” suggested Lisle. He saw many people starting to gather looking at the incident with curiosity.

“Wait a minute, Miss. This girl should be taught a lesson so as not to bother Miss.” anymore Steve looked in a direction.

Lisle followed Steve's point of view. He saw in the distance that some people came rushing over. When he got closer he saw a man wearing a dark suit with an anxious look.

“Mr Steve.” The man in the suit nodded respectfully to Steve. Behind him stood two people in mall security uniforms.

“Manager Armand. This girl was already being brash and making a fuss. He even dared to attack miss Lisle.” Steve pointed at Shopia who was standing not far from there with a face still red with anger.

Turns out Shopia recognized the manager. He had seen her at some business banquet. His originally trembling heart became calmer. Stylistically he stepped closer to Armand.

“Managers. You certainly know who I am. No one's gonna do anything to the Harfey family. If until my father finds out you're trying to harass me, he won't hesitate to make you quit your job now.” Shopia raised her chin higher when she mentioned the surname Harfey. He's not bluffing. His family has many business connections and several people in the government. They're pretty famous.

“Nona Shopia. My work has nothing to do with Miss's family. Royal Diamond Mall is not part of the Harfey family business. How can I be laid off from my job?” Armand smiled politely as he felt confident saying that. Steve is Mr. Kent's assistant and confidant. The mall is also under Diamond Group. What's the Harfey family got to do with the job?

Shopia's eyes bulged. Her pretty face became unsightly. “My father is friends with the owner of this mall. He can report you guys and get you fired!”

Steve was getting fed up.  Friends with his master? Steve knew full well who was Mr. Kent's friend. Most people just brag and confess. The rest are losers who have only ever seen their master from a mobile phone or television screen.

This is just a small business anyway. Miss Lisle also did not seem to want to prolong the matter despite having been persecuted. The daughter of the Harfey family thought too highly of herself. He should be taught a lesson.

“Manager Armand. We don't want to stay any longer to witness this silliness. I'm sure Mr. Kent wouldn't like it when he hears about today. I hope you can finish it well. Don't let this happen again.” Steve spoke low. His voice was almost drowned out by the voices of those around him, but was heard enough by the manager.

“Sure Mr. I guarantee this will not happen again.” Armand.

Steve turned to Lisle. “Mari, Miss. This way.”

Lisle understood the situation a little. But he doesn't think it needs to be that bad. Steve called the mall manager? Isn't that overkill? Despite the protests in her heart, Lisle said nothing. He followed Steve on to an elevator.

While Shopia who saw the two men left was intent on chasing after him. He was getting upset about being ignored. But had not been able to step, both hands have been pulled and held right left.

“This miss's air is out. Spread the photos to the security section. Starting today she is on the black list by mall!” Armand ruled regardless of Shopia's wrathful roar.

“No. This is not true! You can't do this to me!” Shopia rampaging time dragged out.

On the mall's parking floor, Lisle who couldn't resist anymore finally reprimanded Steve. “Isn't that too much, banishing and banning the girl from entering mall.”

Lisle had heard the time that Armand's manager said that. Shopia's angry screams when dragged out also did not escape his hearing. He was eager to turn back and tell the manager that it was all unnecessary. It was only then that it occurred to him that wealthy people might have their own ways of solving problems.

Steve seemed to be familiar with hearing Lisle's words. “Do you know what Mr Kent would have done had the incident been seen by him himself? It is not only the girl who will bear the consequences of her actions. His family will also get a warning from the master for failing to educate his daughter.”

Maybe you'll break the hand that hurt Miss Lisle, Steve's mind.

Despite not saying anything more, in her heart Lisle was still unable to accept. For him, the lives of these rich people are too complicated and inverted, consider small things as big things and make big things as something trivial.

Aland was in his office when Ralph called. He sighed before pressing the receive button. Ralph has lately become uncontrollable just because of a girl.

“Tell me how so I can meet Mr. Kent.” Ralph spoke without further ado.

“Don't start again, Ralph. What can you do by meeting him?” Aland felt crazy with Ralph's bold attitude against danger.

“I just want an explanation. I wonder if the girl really came with him willingly.”

“I told you to stop taking care of that guy. The girl was with Mr. Kent of her own accord. You have no right to interfere.” Aland's still trying to calm Ralph down. His sister's voice seemed very worried.

Aland did not see any serious problems that required Ralph to be that anxious. That girl named Lisle with Mr. Kent is natural. He looks perfect in anyone's eyes. If Ralph was currently restless with his strange uncontrollable thoughts, the girl was currently probably having fun with the man.

“I don't need your opinion. Just tell me, how can I meet him.” Ralph is stubborn.

“You're just jealous.”

“I'm jealous, but that's not the case! Lisle is not the kind of girl who would be so easy to live with a foreign man.” Ralph was impatient. “Tonight there is a business banquet at the Royal Palace. Is he coming?”

Aland unconsciously cursed in his heart. “Don't tell me you...”.

“I'll go with you.” Ralph said quickly interrupting Aland's words. “It's time I learned to do business, right?”

Aland laughed heartily. He began to squint at his head which felt dizzy instantly. Since when was this boy interested in business? If Ralph wanted to, Aland was willing to hand over the family company to his sister. Aland himself is not interested in taking care of this company, but the responsibility as Caldwell's first successor makes it impossible to avoid.

“Good. You can come with me. But I don't know if Mr. Kent will come. I just remind you one thing, don't make a fuss there.” Aland finally gave up. He didn't know if this was the right decision, letting this boy meet his love rival.
