Chapter 242: Chapter 242: Ashley Shaw Gets Hit
Ashley Shaw extended her hand, pinching the girl’s cheeks single-handedly, forcing her to look up and meet her gaze.
"Why don’t you tell me, what exactly are you? How come we can’t afford to provoke you?"
The girl, however, remained defiant, glaring at her intensely.
"People like you, cheap product, vixen, deserve to be eradicated by everyone!"
Ashley Shaw laughed at her words.
"You refuse to speak properly, is that it?"
The girl stared at her angrily but suddenly challenged her with a sneer, "Sorry, I’m thirsty, can’t talk properly. If you pour me a cup of tea and admit that you’re a shameless vixen, then I’ll talk to you properly."
"You——"
The assistant manager was about to erupt, but Ashley Shaw gently tugged at his sleeve to calm him down.
The girl’s expression became even more provocative.
"I’m not going to speak properly, what can you do about it?"
Ashley Shaw’s lips curved slightly, "So, it’s because your throat is dry that you can’t talk properly?"
She said, turning to the assistant manager, "Assistant manager, take her back inside, I’ll treat her to some tea."
The assistant manager showed a hint of surprise but still followed her instructions, forcibly dragging the girl with wavy hair into the store and pressing her down onto a chair.
The girl immediately tried to stand up but was pressed down on her shoulder by the assistant manager with one hand.
The assistant manager’s big hand seemed to be lightly placed on the girl’s shoulder, but only the girl knew how much strength there was.
She tried to stand, but it was as if she was suppressed under the Five Finger Mountain like the Monkey King, unable to rise.
After a few futile struggles, the girl decided not to waste her energy but angrily warned, "Let me go! Do you know who my dad is? If you dare treat me like this, I’ll make everyone here pay!"
The assistant manager acted as if he hadn’t heard, his eyes fixed solely on Ashley Shaw.
The girl sneered at this.
"Stop looking! She’s the one managing the store, right? Even she has to pour me tea, shouldn’t you quickly take your filthy hand off?"
The assistant manager couldn’t be bothered with her.
Ashley Shaw soon walked out from the back kitchen.
She came out carrying a bottle with red labeling.
The girl sneered, "Hurry up, apologize and let me and my friends go! Or I’ll bring misfortune upon all of you."
Ashley Shaw slammed the red bottle onto the table in front of the girl with a "bang."
"Come, aren’t you thirsty? Have a drink! Once you finish, you can talk properly."
The girl instinctively glanced at the red-labeled bottle.
Seeing that the bottle was labeled with "Chili Oil," her face instantly turned pale.
So this was what Ashley Shaw meant by "having tea."
Bitch! She knew Ashley wasn’t up to any good.
"You, you dare make me drink this?!" Though still full of confidence, believing Ashley wouldn’t do such a thing, her eyes betrayed her inner fear.
Ashley Shaw maintained the same gentle demeanor as when she initially offered tea.
"I don’t have many virtues, just enthusiasm. Don’t be polite, since your mouth is dry and you can’t talk properly, have a drink to soothe your throat."
Ashley Shaw pushed the bottle towards the girl, making a motion to pry open her mouth.
"What are you doing... I’m not drinking! Are you crazy?!"
"Won’t drink? Didn’t you say your mouth was too dry to talk?"
The assistant manager played along with Ashley Shaw.
"Come, bring her a spoon!"
Ashley Shaw agreed, was about to get a spoon, then heard the girl say, exasperatedly, "Do you know who my dad is? If you cross me, you’ll surely regret it!"
Ashley Shaw slowly turned back, half-raised her eyebrow and said, "You came here all tough, indicating I’ve already offended you, am I scared of adding another sin? Even if your dad is the king of heaven, killing is only done once, right?"
The girl rolled her eyes in frustration but had to ask, "What exactly do you want me to say?"
"Finally willing to speak properly?"
The girl glanced at the bottle of chili oil, feeling that this vixen in front could really do such a thing.
She gulped, swallowed and asked, "What do you want for you to let me go? Speaking properly is all?"
"First, answer my question honestly, everything else... we’ll talk after!"
"But what if I answer and you still won’t let me go?"
"Quit with the nonsense! Now tell me, what’s your name? Who sent you to cause me trouble?" Ashley Shaw looked down at the girl with an authoritative air.
This person looked about her age but was unfamiliar, indicating they hadn’t met before.
The girl’s other friends were also pushed inside, forced to squat on the floor with their heads in their hands.
Yet their faces were full of defiance.
Looking at it this way, these young girls surely had some background.
Could it be that the Lynch Family sent them?
That doesn’t make sense, if the Lynch Family truly wanted to send people, they wouldn’t send such a bunch of fools.
Ashley Shaw began to get impatient, waited for ages, and the girl twisted and turned without saying a complete sentence.
"Seems like you really need to soothe your throat."
As she finished, Ashley Shaw made a motion to grab the chili oil from the table.
"Heard this stuff is good for beauty too, I’ll apply it for you..."
The girl’s eyes widened suddenly.
Eating chili oil was one thing, but applying it on the face would cause disfigurement!
"I’ll talk!"
Enough, a wise man knows when to retreat.
Find a way to have them release her, she’d sort them out with her dad later!
Her dad can easily shut down a small cake shop.
With this in mind, the girl promptly replied, "I’m Sean Langley, no one sent us here, we came on our own accord."
Ashley Shaw shook the chili oil bottle.
"If you’re lying, I’ll apply it all over your face."
She could see the girl valued her face, so she deliberately said this.
Sure enough, the girl immediately said, "I’m not lying! We came together voluntarily."
In the girl’s account, Ashley Shaw finally understood the whole situation.
Turns out they were fans of Leon Zeller.
Last night, Leon Zeller revealed on a variety show his relationship, causing some extreme girlfriend fans to go crazy trying to figure out who Leon’s girlfriend actually was.
"We noticed the Stardust Team frequently buys bread from this shop, hence we looked into your shop and found you through some posts online."
Ashley Shaw, having a pretty face and having gotten some popularity due to cake delivery scenarios, plus Leon Zeller himself tweeting about this cake shop, they naturally targeted Ashley Shaw.
Because another female clerk in the store was evidently very "safe."
Ashley Shaw was rendered speechless by what she heard.
"So you keep calling me a vixen, all because of this?"
"Duh!"
One of the girls squatting on the ground said, "You must have seduced The Wolves! Otherwise, why would he reveal his relationship at the peak of his career?"
Ashley Shaw’s brows furrowed deeply.
Now she had one thought: Thankfully, they didn’t suspect Ariana.
Ariana was already injured all over, what would happen if she faced these people’s harassment?
And just looking at these young girls’ current behavior, if they went after Ariana, they might conduct a cyberbullying attack on her.
