Gabriel was there too. The two were red in the face as they argued with a few staff.
A lot of people were in an uproar as well.
Soon after, a woman in a dress showed up.
She seemed to be the manager of the place; she had an exquisite face and a beautiful figure.
When she narrowed her eyes, one could see arrogance in her gaze.
Harvey could tell that Simon was in big trouble. The man wouldn’t act that way if that wasn’t the case.
He frowned for a moment before stepping forward.
He didn’t want to get involved, but Simon was still his father-in-law. It was only natural for him to ask about the situation.
“What’s going on, Dad?” Harvey asked quietly as he stepped forward.
Simon glanced at him and gritted his teeth, but said nothing.
Gabriel glared disdainfully at Harvey.
Thinking of what happened the day before, he didn’t dare insult Harvey. If Harvey got angry and asked for Azrael’s support, he’d be dead before he realized it!
Before Simon could explain the situation, the woman in a dress smiled calmly and spoke first.
“I’m the manager of the Empire Hall, Esther John.”
“You came at the perfect timing, sir. You should talk to your father about this.”
“He broke the statue here. It came from five different dynasties and ten different kingdoms.”
“Since he didn’t do it on purpose, we’re only asking him to compensate 1.5 million dollars.”
“But he’s still arguing with us, and completely ignored our kindness.”
“I’ll have to call the cops if this keeps up.”
Esther looked calmly at Harvey.
“I can guarantee that not only will you have to pay for the damages, but you’ll be put behind bars too.”
“The John family owns the place.”
“You should know exactly what that means!”
Esther’s tone was calm and steady, but she emanated a fierce aura. It showed that she could do whatever she wanted here.
It was clear she had dealt with situations like these for a long time. She would always get the upper hand as soon as she mentioned the John family.
“I’m telling you this one more time, I didn’t even get close to that statue! It fell on its own!” Simon exclaimed coldly.
“This has nothing to do with me! Don’t you dare put the blame on me!”
“Besides, Silas John is basically my son at this point!”
“He’ll make you lose your job if you keep slandering me like this!”
“Silas? Young Master John?”
Esther froze, then sized up Simon.
“Young Master John only befriends beautiful women! Why would he befriend an old bat like you in the first place?” she said, scoffing coldly.
“Come on, make the phone call! If he stands up for you, I’ll call this off immediately!”
“If not, you’ll have to pay us!”
Esther tapped on the ground with her high heels, impatient.
“Fine! Just you wait!”
To show off his relationship with Silas, Simon immediately pulled out his phone and put the speakers on.
Beep, beep, beep!
“Hello? Something up, Uncle?”
Silas’s voice could be heard on the other side.
