Chapter 31 Punishment
At that moment, the server accompanying Hera approached Gerald discreetly and whispered, "Sir, actually, our boss is still on the premises."
Gerald’s eyes widened in astonishment, his jaw-dropping in disbelief. Before he could fully process the revelation and dash off to find their boss, Mary quickly grabbed the hem of his suit and whispered something urgently.
"But it seems she’s trying to hide her identity. I’m not entirely certain, but I overheard her using the name Hera Ainsley," Mary whispered cautiously.
Mary discreetly pointed her lips towards Hera. Following her gesture, Gerald found the girl who had been dragged to the issue by Claire resulting in a prolonged discussion. Despite her remarkable beauty, Hera was clad in unbranded attire. This observation aligned with Claire’s earlier claim that Hera was poor, likely accompanying a man to dine there. Gerald glanced back at Mary, raising his eyebrows as if wanting to confirm once more.
Understanding his doubts, Mary added, "Sir, if you don’t believe me, you can directly ask Miss Cindy. She arrived with our boss and addressed her respectfully as ’young miss.’ Who else would Miss Cindy call ’young miss’ if not the Avery family’s sole heiress?" Mary reasoned.
"Cindy was here?!" Gerald asked in incredulous surprise. Then, he added, "Then where did they eat, and why did they cancel the reservation?"
Mary briefly recounted the altercation that occurred when Hera arrived. Upon hearing the details, Gerald quickly came up with a possible conclusion as to why Hera had canceled her reservation and opted to dine with someone else instead.
However, he couldn’t just dismiss the thought of their boss being bullied in his own territory. ’This is unacceptable!’ he thought to himself. Yet, he also considered the possibility that their boss might be maintaining a low profile for the time being. Therefore, he refrained from acting hastily.
To ensure justice for his boss, he deliberated on the appropriate punishment for Claire and her entourage.
