Brittany didn't expect Grace to file a complaint right away, and she even used her full name.
"Gran, you…" Brittany said.
"Don't sweat it, the clerk was asking for it with her lousy attitude. I'm just helping her see the light sooner." Grace said.
Grace knew Brittany was worried about her, but it was completely unnecessary. Rather than bickering with a lowly clerk, she'd prefer to whip the entire staff into shape. In front of customers, they should be gentle and composed, not arrogant and sharp-tongued.
Brittany wanted to say something, but Grace had already taken out a gold bracelet, pulled Brittany's hand, and put it on her. Her slender hand was made even more beautiful by the gold bracelet, leaving the old lady quite pleased.
She knew it! She always had a keen eye!
"Gran, what is this?" Brittany was confused, was Grace buying her a gold bracelet?
"I like you, so I want to buy you something nice." Grace frowned in dissatisfaction. If it weren't for Isaac hiding his identity, she would have prepared everything for Brittany a long time ago, instead of sneaking around to buy a single bracelet.
Brittany felt a slight flutter in her heart, "Gran, this is too expensive."
From what Isaac said, Grace was retired and had no income. She really felt bad about accepting something so expensive.
"Just listen to me. I want to give it to you." Grace had no idea that in Brittany's eyes, she was just an unemployed old lady.
She indeed didn't have a job. But the Salter family's shares, as well as her real estate, stores, etc., brought in tens of millions of dollars every year. She was not short of money.
Brittany didn't want to disappoint Grace, so she accepted the gift. But in her heart, she was thinking about how to return the money.
Isaac finally found them, he let out a sigh of relief, "Gran, where did you take Bri again?"
He thought they got lost.
Grace snorted and glanced at Brittany's wrist with satisfaction, "I bought this for Bri, isn't it beautiful?"
Isaac followed her gaze and saw the golden bracelet sparkling on Brittany's wrist.
"It's beautiful." Isaac said.
His eyes were filled with warmth.
"Jones, she's just an old lady, let her complain. Why are you making a big deal out of it?" Ruby said.
Jones was about to explode. He pushed Ruby away, "Shut up, I've warned you countless times to treat others with respect. Don't always look down on people. Do you know who that old lady is? You've dragged everyone in the store into this, and we might all lose our jobs!"
Ruby was pushed to the ground, hearing these words, she started to panic, "Jones, what are you talking about, that old lady only had a little over a thousand dollars in her account. How could she be an important figure?"
"You're so clueless, Ruby. She's someone we can't afford to offend in our lifetime!" Jones was so angry it hurt, "Headquarters is now paying attention to this matter, and everyone in our store might be fired!"
He had been working at Salter's Jewelry for over a decade, and the Salter family's treatment was far superior to that of the industry. And with this job, he bought a house and a car in Imperial City and settled down. He was planning to strive for a promotion in his career, but Ruby ruined everything.
Ruby finally realized the seriousness of the matter, but she didn't think she did anything wrong. She was filled with anger, "It's all because of that ordinary looking old lady, how was I supposed to know she was an important figure? Besides, I didn't say anything."
"You called her a poor person and mocked her for buying fake goods?" Jones said.
The surveillance video was sent to headquarters, Jones was scolded badly. Ruby had nothing to say, her face pale, "Jones, you have to help me."
Without this job, she wouldn't be able to repay her online loans. Those creditors might make her pay with her life!
