After hearing Zac’s remarks, Peter looked at Xylia and Leon with a cold expression. “Since you refuse topensate, I will call the police.”
Xylia nodded. “Even if you don’t report it to the police, I will report it anyway.”
Marie had not expected Xylia to say that.
Xylia took out her mobile phone, preparing to make a call while speaking to Peter, “We came to your store to make purchases as consumers, yet were ndered through the collusion of staff and other customers, and
but faced attempts to sell us goods forcibly at unreasonable prices. It is not that we cannot afford to pay, rather that we despise your collusive and unscrupulous behavior.”
Peter was just saying he would call the police, but he knew that having the police at the store would more or less affect its business.
He hurried forward, attempting to snatch away Xylia’s phone.
Leon’s gaze suddenly hardened beneath his sunsses as he stepped to Xylia’s side, his expression cold as he looked at Peter
Peter did not dare to act rashly but advised, “The store’s surveince cameras all broke down. Even if the policee, they won’t be able to figure out the truth right away. So why bother?”
Xylia said coldly, “If the truth cannot be rified immediately, then investigate further. In any case, I am determined to make public the misconduct of your store in mistreating customers.”
At this point, Peter finally flipped out.
Seeing that Xylia was about to dial the number, he hurriedly <b>said</b><b>, </b>“Actually, the store’s surveince system is not malfunctioning.”
Only then did Xylia stop what she was doing with her hands and look toward Peter. “It turns out the surveince system is still working.
Peter looked at Marie in rm, then lowered his head in guilt.
Xylia no longer paid attention to Marie’s ashenplexion; instead, she turned her gaze to Peter. “Go the surveince footage and see exactly what happened<b>.</b>”
Just as Peter was about to move, Marie suddenly grabbed him. “I dare you to go!”

As she spoke, she turned to Xylia and snapped, “You little bitch, even if the surveince footage is reviewed, it was you who identally tripped and broke the vase. No matter <b>what</b>, you have to pay for it!”
Zac chimed in, “That’s right! We all saw with our own eyes that you broke the vase. Didn’t you say you could. pay for it? Then pay up!”
With Marie’s support, the respect Zac had shown to Leon just moments ago disappeared.
He looked at Leon and let out a cold snort. “Greeting you just now was a sign of respect. You’re just the small Schultz family from Jupiton–do you really think you have enough influence to get Mr. Carter of the Sadler Group here<b>?</b>”
As soon as he finished speaking, a calm and steady voice came from the doorway. “Mr. Sadler, what can I do for you?
Matt walked along, smiling apologetically.
From a distance, upon seeing Xylia and Leon present, he began to feel uneasy.
When Xylia visited the Sadler Group previously, Kaden instructed that every employee in thepany must recognize Xylia.
The shareholders were no exception.
It appeared that the youngdy who had just reunited with the Sadler family had already be the apple of the Sadlers eye, to the extent that Matt did not dare to offend her lightly.
He walked up to Xylia and greeted her with a smile, ‘Ms. Sadler.”
“Ms. Sadler?” Marie looked at Xylia with wide eyes, in disbelief.
Zac could hardly believe it. “She is clearly the fake heiress of the Schultz family, named Xylia Schultz. When did she be Ms. Sadler?”
If they had remained silent, they could’ve avoided further trouble, but once they spoke, Matt immediately noticed them.
At that moment, Zac stood beside Marie, who had one hand linked through Zac’s arm; the two appeared exceptionally <b>close</b><b>. </b>
Man’s face turned pale in an instant. “What are you doing?”
What are you all doing?
Marie finally realized what was happening and hurriedly shook off Zac’s hand.
Her overbearing demeanor, disyed just moments ago, hadpletely vanished. “H–honey… this is my cousin. He apanied me to browse around the antique shop.”
It was clear that Marie was an old fox. She quickly came up with an excuse to brush off Matt.
Matt looked at Zac beside her. “Since when do you have a cousin? Howe I didn’t know?”
Marie said, “He’s a distant cousin with whom I only recently established contact after he arrived in Norhill.
You have not met him.”
Matt merely <b>cast </b>a suspicious nce at the two, then did not say anything further.
Xylia finally understood why Marie was so arrogant. Apparently, Matt was a fool.

Xylia and Leon exchanged a nce. Although Leon did not remove his sunsses, Xylia could still discern the same sense of doubt from the small part of his facial expression that asked just how Matt became a shareholder of Sadler Group.
Xylia looked at Peter and said, “Retrieve the surveince footage.”
Before Peter could respond, Marie immediately shouted loudly, “You can’t!”
“Shut up!” Matt shouted at Maric even louder.
“Ms. Sadler has asked for the surveince footage–what does that have to do with you?” Matt pointed at Peter. “Go quickly and bring out the surveince footage Ms. Sadler requested.”
Peter left as instructed.
Marie knew that she was doomed. Zac stepped back, intending to run toward the door.
Upon seeing this, Leon reacted swiftly and delivered a kick to Zac’s calf.
y of porcin
Zac staggered forward and crashed heavily into the shelf ahead. The shelf, disying an array of bowls and antique artifacts, was struck by his fall, causing the items to scatter <b>onto </b>the floor.
Now it was Peter’s turn to exim.
The porcin bowls and antiques on this shelf are so valuable that even all his assets would not be enough to cover the loss.
Zac crouched on the floor, clutching his hand and groaning. Small cuts on <b>his </b>arm, caused by porcin shards, made him scream and wail in pain.
However, no one cared about him.
Peter stepped forward and grabbed Zac by the cor. “These porcin pieces are valuable items in our <b>store</b>, and you have knocked all of them over! The total damages amount to three million. You must pay for this!”
When Zac heard that he had to pay three million, he didn’t have time to care about the pain in his body and stared wide–eyed at Peter. “I only fell because he kicked me just now. He should pay for the damages!”
He pointed at Leon. Leon shrugged. “Did any of you see it?”
No one said anything.
Zac, growing anxious, looked at Peter. “The surveince system is working, right? Hurry and take us to see the surveince footage! Then you’ll <b>know </b>if I’ve been framed!”
Faced with three million, Zac could <b>not </b>even recall his time as a mistress.
He pulled Peter along and was about to go look for surveince footage to prove his innocence.
At that moment, <b>Marie </b>was so furious with Zac that she felt like biting his head off.

She now wished to escape as well.

Nylia looked at Maric. “Mrs. Carter, let’s go take a look at the surveince footage together and see if the truth. is as <b>you </b>say <b>that </b>you two are <b>cousins</b>.”
No matter how foolish Matt was, he could still discern the meaning in Xylia’s words.
He red at Marie and stepped forward to seize her wrist. “Let’s see what you’ve been hiding from me!”
“I won’t go! Honey, you can’t doubt me like this!” No matter how loudly Marie called out, it was to no avail.
Matt pulled Marie and Peter to the reception deskputer.
Leon and Xylia followed closely behind.
He spoke to Xylia in a low, worried voice, “Xylia, are you really not <b>hurt</b>? That poser who fell just now got cut by the shards–are you sure none of the broken porcin pieces scratched you?”
Xylia shook her head. “Don’t worry, Leon. I’m fine–I dodged just in time.”
