Chapter 142: Jason and Janet
"Ah-hem!"
A voice from behind made Easter flinch slightly, and Jason tilted his head to one side to see his mother giving Easter a hard glare from behind the counter! Easter’s cheeks flushed in slight anger before she turned and left Jason alone.
Mira smiled once she saw the woman leave her son alone, and Jason couldn’t help but give his mother a curious look. He walked over to her and kissed her gently on the cheek before he asked her what the hell she had done to make the reporters so mellow.
"Oh, it was nothing much... I just told them that about the CCTV cameras we had and threatened them with a lawsuit."
Jason raised a brow in shock and immediately asked his mother to explain!
It turned out that the reporters had been following Mira around for the past few hours since she left the house, and Mira had to use a section of the law to deter them from acting up. According to Riverdale law, building owners were allowed to sue any reporter or media personnel that caused issues in their building. The government created this law because of the growing number of social media influencers and how they were always causing issues for regular citizens in restaurants and business places. Once the law was created, the number of complaints dropped drastically.
This law extended to both restaurants and other businesses, so Mira had used that against the reporters. She allowed them to stay outside and do whatever they wanted, but when they were inside her building, they had to behave or she would submit the CCTV footage to the police.
The reporters had been rebellious at first, and they all stayed outside and tried to get pictures through the glass door, but after they stayed there for hours, they got hungry enough that some of them abandoned their post and had to go in for a meal, and that was what led to the restaurant being so filled up.
Jason chuckled at the entire story before walking over to grab an apron. Since there were so many people, he was sure that his mum needed help, but Mira suddenly waved her hand and told Jason not to worry. There was someone helping already.
