?Chapter 373:


    “Miss Hond, I sincerely apologize for the trouble you’ve encountered today.”


    Corrine met his gaze with cool indifference.


    “Your sales staff disyed a terrible attitude—looking down on customers, discriminating against them, and speaking disrespectfully. How do you intend to address this?”


    “Immediate termination!” Ennis dered without hesitation.


    “Our mall has zero tolerance for this kind of behavior. We’ll see this matter through to the very end.”


    Behind him, Zahir and Darryl nodded vigorously in agreement.


    “What?” Julia’s eyes widened in horror, disbelief shing across her face.


    Under Ennis’ sharp gaze, Zahir seized the rare opportunity to redeem himself. Stepping toward Julia with an air of authority, he leveled her with a steely re.


    “As a sales representative, your service was abysmal. And as a store manager, you were arrogant andcked integrity in your work. Effective immediately, you are dismissed!”


    Having said that, Zahir cautiously stepped toward Corrine, lowering his head in deference.


    “Miss Hond, I deeply regret the unnecessary trouble caused by my failure to oversee things properly.”


    Corrine barely spared him—or Ennis—a nce before striding over to a quiet corner and taking a seat. Her cold indifference made it clear she had no intention of acknowledging Zahir’s groveling.


    Yet, rather than being offended, he remained utterly subservient.


    “Miss Hond, please enjoy some coffee and refreshments.”


    Modern Square was Lyhaton’s premier shopping center, renowned as one of the most prestigious in the country, and it operated under Ford Group’s name. However, what most didn’t realize was that this so-called “shoppers’ paradise” had been a gift from Carl to Corrine on her eighteenth birthday. In other words, the mall didn’t belong to the Ford family—it was Corrine’s private property.


    That made her the true boss of the executives standing before her, each one painfully aware that her word could dictate their fates.


    Not far away, Leah stood frozen, watching the scene unfold with growing unease. Her brows drew together as she fixed her gaze on Corrine.


    Why were the senior figures of Modern Square treating Corrine with such extreme reverence, as if she were royalty? Could it be that Corrine really had some kind of connection to the Ford family—the wealthiest and most powerful n in Lyhaton? Was she the very person Kason had warned them never to cross?

    As those questions raced through her mind, a flicker of panic crossed Leah’s face.


    Just then, from behind the cashier counter, Rita suddenly let out a startled exmation.


    “That’s impossible! There must be some kind of mistake!”


    “The ck gold card you’re holding is indeed our mall’s most prestigious membership,” the cashier exined.


    “As per our policy, the card grants its bearer priority ess to select any item from the mall.”


    Julia turned pale, her body trembling uncontrobly upon hearing this. Staring in disbelief at Corrine, who was casually enjoying her coffee, Julia whispered to herself in shock, “How can this be?”


    She knew of only one ck gold card holder throughout the entire mall. How had this woman acquired such a card? Just who had she unknowingly gone up against?
