While Yan Xiaoran was forced to sit back and spill the beans to her best friend, the staff outside the VIP room didn't stop the cold sweat dripping off their foreheads.

Their eyes and heads were lowered like they were bowing to an Emperor and even if they wanted to raise their heads to look up, they couldn't bring themselves to do that when a man with a cold face stood before them.

The store manager who was behind the counter was standing beside that man and similar to the other staff of the store, he had his eyes lowered. Fear enclosed his heart as they recognized who this man was.

It was Alexander Qu.

Not a lot of people knew who he was because he remained secretive and hid from the spotlight. However, even after hiding from the spotlight, his shadows were far too wide that not many could try to block it from spreading some more.

His face was also not released to the press that's why there weren't a lot of people who knew him personally or what he looked like. And yet, with just hearing his name, presidents and CEOs of every company dared not haste to go against him. They will probably even book the first flight and wishing they could get away from his wrath if they ever anger him.

On the other hand, several business leaders also wanted to get involved with Alexander. They will do anything to get a deal or share a friendship with him in order to gain some benefits and not only that, the satisfaction of having their business rivals look in fear in their eyes upon hearing their involvement with Alexander was something they looked forward to.

So, why such an esteemed man standing in their humble boutique?

In the beginning, the store manager didn't believe his identity when he showed his business car to them and wanted to scoff at the man, but upon seeing the regal vibe surrounding him and the way he dressed, no one could deny that the man didn't need to impersonate anyone as he looked extremely important even without trying.

"Mr. Qu!" The store manager flashed a brilliant smile.

Alexander held up his hand and coldly said, "Do you know where this lady went after coming here?"

One of the two bodyguards behind him went forward and let the store manager see a video on the phone.

The footage captured what happened earlier when Zhao Liuyin and Yan Xiaoran were in an argument using the phone of one of the employees in the store. Their voices were so loud and clear.

With an awkward smile, the manager decided to fawn over Alexander and assumed that the lady he was talking about was Zhao Liuyin.

"Aiyoo, Mr. Qu. We didn't know that someone could create a mess in our store and offended the lady you fancied." The store manager started to which Alexander raised his eyebrows in amusement.

Seeing that Alexander wasn't speaking or denying his statement, the manager thought he guessed right and the lady Alexander wanted to know about was Zhao Liuyin.

According to his thoughts, Zhao Liuyin was of noble birth since she came from the great Zhao family. She was also a popular singer with a beautiful face that charmed many male fans. It wasn't impossible for her to catch the eyes of an esteemed man like Alexander.

Thus, the manager couldn't stop his mouth from blabbering without a thought of what's about to come…

Shaking his head as if he was greatly saddened about something, he continued, "Unfortunately, the store owner decided to let the guard haul the lady outside like a trash bag and didn't even listen to us when we stopped her."

Suddenly, the atmosphere around the store decreased and felt so cold. When the manager raised his head to look at the man, he saw his already cold face turning frosty and his eyes became vicious.

"You did what?" Was what Alexander calmly asked. He didn't care what kind of effect did the calmness in his voice gave to the bodyguards beside him.

The bodyguards beside him have been with him for a long time now and knew that a tsunami was about to come after the calm. A storm could easily let people have the idea of hope but once a tsunami replaced that, nothing was safe around it.

While listening to the store manager's words, Alexander felt inexplicable anger rising from him. His eyes glinted as he wished he didn't leave his woman's side and let his aunt create trouble.

Earlier, when he called Haruka and heard from the driver that she was busy showering, he immediately sensed that something was wrong. Everything that happened inside the mansion will never escape from his ears thus, he knew that Haruka took Yan Xiaoran out.

So, how was it possible for his aunt to be idle enough to go to shower when they're supposed to be shopping outside.

Somehow, the video of Yan Xiaoran and another woman was sent to him by Long Jie and added fuel to the fire.

Leaving his matters in the company aside and ignoring the shocked look on the faces of the shareholders and some employees in his company, Alexander instantly left the building and in a few minutes, he arrived at the boutique where the drama was happening.

Sensing the danger ahead, the manager knew he was walking on a tightrope.

"I..it wasn't me!" The store manager was quick to pass the blame, "It was the store owner who decided to throw Miss Zhao out!"

After saying that, he looked frightened but in his heart, he was happy to fault his store owner even though, she was the one who helped him when he had nothing and gave him the position as the store's manager.

As his heart rejoiced at the impending demise of the store owner, the store manager waited for the man to demand the owner to get out so he could lash out at her.

Unfortunately, what he was looking forward to didn't happen as Alexander only have one word to say…

"Good!"
