Chapter 403
Sure enough, what the person said next confinned her guess.
“Well, we’re not looking for trouble. How about this? You’ll return the money we paid for the 20 meals
and compensate us with 750 dollars for damages. After all, some of us have already started eating the
food you sent us. Who knows if there are any bugs in the remaining lunch boxes?!”
After he had finished speaking, several other people stood up and surrounded Serenity, clearly trying to
pressure her.
Serenity loaked around at her surroundings. She was in a semi–public place. The crew had rented a
cafe for the shooting From where she stood, there was a surveillance camera to her left.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSince the crew had used the cafe as a filming laration, Serenity wondered if the surveillance camera
was actually working.
There were some fans hanging around further away. Although blocked from entering the filming area,
the fans lurked around the filming location. Some were squatting and resting, while some held their
phones up, waiting for their chance to see their idols or even take photos of them
“Well, it’s not up to me to decide. I’m just a food delivery girl. I’ll speak to my boss about the situation,”
Serenity said and took out her phone. Then, she called Clara and told her about the situation.
Upon hearing about the incident, Clara said, “You should come back first. If they want to dispute, I’ll talk
to them after this at the end of the day.”
Serenity had not turned on the speakerphone, so the people around did not hear what Clara had said.
“Sure,” Serenity responded. She then ended the call and put her phone away.
As she put her phone away, she quietly used her phone to record the following conversation.
“So? When will you pay us?” One of them, who seemed to be the leader, demanded
Serenity chuckled. “Did you know? 750 dollars is enough to be considered fraud. If proven guilty, you
could be sentenced to less than three years in prison.”
The faces of the few people around Serenity changed. “What do you mean? Are you calling me a
scammer?”
“Maybe we should speak with evidence. Look around. Many fans are hanging around with their phones
up. Someone may have accidentally recorded the incident here. Also, we can’t be returning the money
for the food to you. As for this lunch box, we can let the police handle this and be fair to everyone.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe few people exchanged a glance. The leader then shot a fierce glare at Serenity as he warned her,
“You’d better tell your boss to pay us. Otherwise, don’t even think about keeping this restaurant running
in the future.”
“Is this a threat” Serenity asked in reply.
It is a threat. So what?” The leader admitted bluntly
At this point, Serenity could tell that these people had planned to extort money from the very beginning.
“I’m just a part–time worker. There’s no need for you to threaten me. As for this lunch box, you can
keep the evidence and make a police report. Also-”
Serenity paused, her gaze cold. “If you try to hurt our business and act maliciously, I’ll definitely take
you to court. When that happens, it will cost more than 750 dollars.”
Serenity understood Clara’s financial status, Clara was not rich and needed maney to treat Yanny’s
ears. Yanny would likely get cochlear implants for hearing in the future, Clara would have to spend
money on training courses teaching her child to listen to sounds and speak.
When Serenity left the warning, she had already thought about going to Jackson for help if necessary.
