Chapter 158 - 158 Slap
Chapter 158 - 158 Slap
The person who said this was Zoe.
Zoe looked down at Minna with her arms folded over her chest, "Since you messed up my dress, you need to apologize with both hands holding a cup of tea and bowing ninety degrees to be sincere."
Minna was annoyed, "You..."
Zoe simply did it on purpose.
Zoe raised her eyebrows and smiled at Minna, "If you don\'t want to apologize to me, fine, you can just pay for my dress. This dress is worth a million dollars. Can you afford to pay for it?"
She happened to learn that Minna was working here as a waitress.
She had a grudge against Minna for helping Juliana at the activity of the Artists’ Association last time.
Zoe thought, since she couldn\'t do anything to Juliana, she would take Minna first.
So she deliberately wore the most expensive dress to the restaurant today and asked Minna by name to deliver her dishes.
Then she made Minna fall over and caused the chocolate from the dessert to spill on her dress so that it would be perfectly justifiable for her to embarrass Minna.
When Minna heard that the dress was worth a million dollars, she turned pale again.
She was so short of money. How could she afford to pay a million dollars? She couldn\'t sell her paintings lately.
Therefore, she desperately needed this new job at Chef Nicolas.
Zoe watched as Minna changed her face with satisfaction. She leaned over slightly and said with a smile, "Actually, I\'m very generous. It would be fine even if the dress got dirty. You would only have to apologize and I would not even ask you to compensate for it. But…"
Zoe\'s voice suddenly turned cold, "You helped Juliana last time, and you will have to bear the consequences. Just blame Juliana for this."
Otherwise, she would not pay any attention to Minna.
Zoe was enjoying Minna\'s expression when she suddenly heard Juliana\'s cool voice from behind her.
"Miss Jennings, if you have any resentment, just come directly at me. What kind of ability is it to throw your weight around?"
Zoe suddenly turned around and saw Juliana coming down the stairs in a simple red dress. Her elegant steps were like those of a queen and she approached step by step.
With each step she took, the air pressure around her lowered a bit.
Zoe looked at Juliana with surprise, "Why are you here?"
Had Juliana heard what she had just said?
Juliana looked at her as she said, "Even a dog can enter this place, why can\'t I?"
Zoe was so irritated by her words, "You!!!"
Juliana walked past her and went to help Minna.
Minna wanted to refuse Juliana, but she had sprained her ankle and had no strength to stand up.
Juliana saw that Minna\'s palm was bleeding from the broken porcelain of the plate.
Looking at this, Juliana\'s gaze went cold and she asked Minna, "Did Zoe trip you?"
Minna nodded and said, "Don\'t worry about it. I can fix it myself."
Juliana closed her eyes, suppressing the bloodthirsty impulse. She ordered, "Go get the medical kit."
The lobby manager hurriedly sent someone to get the medical kit.
Minna broke away from Juliana\'s hand, "My business is none of your business. We don\'t know each other."
She was still remembering the harsh words Juliana had said when she had broken off her relation with Minna.
Zoe was happy to see them fight. She watched with her arms crossed over her chest and said, "Miss Lewis, don\'t pretend to be nice. She will not accept your kindness anyway."
Juliana ignored Zoe. When the medical kit came, she quietly disinfected and bandaged Minna\'s wounds.
Zoe looked at Minna and said, "Now I have an idea. You don\'t have to apologize or pay me a million dollars. All you have to do is slap Juliana twice and I will let it all go."
###Chapter 159 I Will Get Down on My Knees
Minna looked up at Zoe in shock, "What did you say?"
Had she asked her to slap Juliana in the face?
Zoe raised her eyebrows as she said, "Just as you heard, as long as you slap Juliana twice, I don\'t need you to apologize or pay me back. It\'s a million dollars."
She had investigated Minna and found that her family was poor and her mother was bedridden with illness.
Let alone a million dollars, it would add to the misfortunes of her poor family if she was asked to pay ten thousand dollars.
Juliana looked up at her, "What are you thinking of?"
Zoe was no longer afraid of Juliana now. She said, "Juliana, if you regard her as a friend, let her slap you twice so that the matter can be settled."
Zoe also said with a smile, "A million dollars for two slaps, tsk, what a valuable face! I am already being generous, right?"
How could it be called generous? It was simply to humiliate Juliana.
She also thought Minna and Juliana were good friends and wanted to sow dissension among them.
Juliana said, "If Minna did it accidentally, I will pay you back the money for her. But…"
Minna coldly interrupted her, "No, I will pay for it, but I can\'t do something like hitting someone."
Juliana turned her head sideways and looked at Minna with a frown.
Zoe looked at them and let out a light laugh, "You seem to be good friends, but now, I don\'t want the money anymore. After all, I don\'t need it."
Minna took a deep breath before she said, "Zoe, what do you want exactly?"
Zoe raised her hand to fix her hair and then looked up and said, "I did not want to do anything, but Juliana keeps provoking me, so I have to do something."
She looked at Minna and said, "I really only wanted an apology, but because of Juliana, I don\'t want an apology or you to pay the money now."
Juliana spoke coldly, "Zoe, I suggest you don\'t make a fool of yourself."
Zoe snorted, "I\'m just defending myself, Minna."
Hearing her name, Minna looked up at Zoe in annoyance, "Don\'t go too far. I\'ll apologize and pay you back. And I don\'t know Juliana. If you make it hard for me, it will only make her happier."
Zoe said, "That\'s your business. My request now is that either you slap Juliana twice, or you get down on your knees and apologize to me, or else..."
Zoe raised her chin and laughed, "I will have to call the police to deal with it. It\'s a million dollars. Even if you won\'t be detained, you should be forced to move out of the rental house, then your mother and you will have no place to live, won\'t you?"
Juliana took a step forward and was just about to speak when she was pulled back by Minna.
Minna looked up, looking at her pleadingly and angrily, "Juliana, don\'t drag me into this anymore, okay?"
There was no need to make things difficult for Juliana because of her.
Juliana choked for a moment and then said, "She\'s trying to embarrass you and humiliate you, and nothing you can do will help."
Minna said without looking at her, "It\'s none of your business. We don\'t know each other."
Juliana was speechless.
Minna pulled Juliana away and then looked up at Zoe, "Is it true that if I get down on my knees and apologize to you, I won\'t have to pay the money?"
Zoe raised her eyebrows and said, "Of course. I am not that mean."
Wasn\'t the fact that she made things difficult for Minna and made Juliana unable to do anything but watch from the sidelines a slap in Juliana\'s face?
Minna took a deep breath, then nodded, "Okay, I will get down on my knees."
Juliana frowned, "Minna!"
Minna held her breath, clenched her teeth, then turned to Zoe, and slowly bent her knees...
"Ah!"
