Night of Destiny

“Hey, Mom. What’s going on?” Catalina asked, still completely clueless.

“Catalina, how can you continue to spend money recklessly at a time like this?! Do you realize how much I have to compensate the

investors this time?”

“Mom, it’s my own money that I’m spending!” Catalina said, feeling unjustly accused.

“Even if it’s yours, you can’t just spend it. I’m trying to raise money! You also need to contribute a portion.”

“Mom, you haven’t told me how much we have to pay.”

Before, Gloria didn’t dare to disclose the amount of money involved, fearing it would put pressure on her daughter. Now that Catalina asked, and she also wanted to stop her from spending recklessly, she had to tell the truth. “It’s about 70 million.”

“What?!” Catalina exclaimed on the other end. “Are you serious?!”

“Yes, and if I don’t fulfill the contract, I’ll have to go to jail.” Gloria said angrily and added, “Return all these bags. Save as much money as you can.”

Recalling how she bought these bags in front of Harmony, Catalina refused to return them. She couldn’t bear the thought of the two shop assistants spreading gossip about her.

“Mom, I won’t return these bags. I like them.”

Livid, Gloria hung up the phone. One way or another, she was determined to get the money back. With that, she grabbed the bags and drove to the store.

“Mrs. Martin, these bags can be returned, but Ms. Martin must come in person to return them. We need to recover the receipts.”

“I don’t care. You refund me now and transfer the money to my bank account,” Gloria said assertively.

“We really can’t. We can’t make this decision. It’s the store’s policy.”

“You won’t refund, right? I’ll have my lawyer come over then. Can this bag be returned or not, even if it hasn’t been unpacked?!”

Coincidentally, a female artist who held a grudge against Gloria and Catalina was shopping in the store. Upon seeing the drama, she naturally took out her phone and recorded it, then posted it on her social media.

The reporters immediately reposted this incident. In the video, Gloria’s domineering and unreasonable behavior was magnified, and she even made the shop assistant cry.

Sera saw this incident first and immediately forwarded it to Harmony, who was sitting on the balcony. Seeing all that was happening to the Martins, all the frustration she had bottled up all these years from Catalina’s oppression was finally released.

Meanwhile, Catalina rushed to the store to handle the situation right after receiving her assistant’s call.

She pulled her mother aside and said, “Mom, let me handle this, okay? You go home first.”

“Catalina, don’t buy from this store anymore! Look at the attitude of these people! The customer is always right! Is this how they should treat their customers?!” Gloria ranted, behaving as though she was superior to others.

“Mom, please go home!” Catalina urged, embarrassed as she noticed people starting to take pictures.

After Gloria was persuaded to leave by the assistant, Catalina took this chance as an excuse to return all the bags, angrily complaining, “How dare you treat my mother like that?! I don’t want your bags anymore. Refund me immediately!”

In the afternoon, these two shop assistants thought they had received a high commission and were happy to leave work to celebrate. Little did they know that before they could enjoy themselves, Catalina came to return the bags.

They immediately served reluctantly. “Please show us your receipt, Ms. Martin. Let’s follow the procedure to return the bag, okay? And the money in the account can’t be refunded to you immediately. It needs to be approved by the head office before it can be refunded.” Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

Catalina felt a little guilty under the gaze of these two female shop assistants. “Okay, it doesn’t matter when the money is refunded.”

When Catalina finished handling it, the shop assistant behind her couldn’t help but mock, “Hmph, rich kid by day, penniless by night. Seriously! If you can’t spend, don’t buy! We got busy packing all these bags for her, only to get nothing in the end! Worst of all, we even got scolded!”
