Tessa was surprised by the sales girl's immediate action, she had no shame anymore, and now it seemed she wanted to do a better job.
Tessa dropped her phone back in her pocket, she was done with the voice recording, she needed evidence to pin the sales girl and Mrs Penelope down, and they fell for it.
She never planned to call Mr Dawson, she wanted to handle it herself but they have gone too far now, she would let Mr Dawson handle it.
Two security men arrived at the scene, the sales girl quickly pointed at Tessa.
"This girl tried to steal something from here, I caught her red handed, could you please throw her out!"
Mrs Penelope's cheeks moved. She pitifully shook her head.
"Young girls these days, if they can't have it, they would resort to stealing. It's sad to see this. Please kick her out"
Annabelle's cheeks moved, she marched to Tessa's front and looked straight into Tessa's eyes.
"Look who is getting kicked out now, you better know your place next time, Tessa. You can't be compared to us, don't even try"
Annabelle was expecting Tessa to say something or retaliate, but Tessa only smiled, which made Annabelle more angry.
"Shameless thief!"
Annabelle shouted, Tessa was escorted out of the store. Tessa didn't argue or struggle with the security, there was no need to do such a thing when she had everything under control.
The security men blocked the entrance.
"Don't ever come here again"
Tessa didn't respond to them, she simply brought her phone out and the black card her father gave her, Mr Dawson's number was there.
If she had shown this card to the salesgirl, perhaps this wouldn't have happened, but this clearly showed how the nobodies could be bullied by wealthy people, and they were helped by another nobody.
Tessa hurriedly dialed the numbers, she would explain everything that happened to Mr Dawson, with her voice record there would be no need for Mr Dawson to investigate the matter, he would swing to action immediately.
The call went through and Tessa sounded first.
"I am Tessa Wood. Mr. Mateo's daughter, the heir to the Wood family"
Dawson was shocked to receive a call from somebody from the Wood family, not just anybody from the Wood family but the heir to the family, Sir Mateo's daughter.
"How can I help you, Lady Tessa"
Tessa looked around and faced DK store, she smiled at the security men.
"I have just been kicked out of your store"

The sales girl led Mrs Penelope and Annabelle to the cashier, Mrs Penelope had already transferred the thirty thousand dollars to her, so she was overjoyed, she couldn't wait to get off work and spend the money on some things she always wanted to buy.
Annabelle was smiling brightly as she carefully checked each of the clothes, she was only interested in two of the clothes, but since Tessa picked all five of them, she decided she would buy all of them.
"Your purchase is sixty thousand dollars"
Mrs Penelope frowned, sixty thousand dollars was a little overboard, but since Tessa was going for all five of them, they had to buy it, or it would seem like Tessa was richer than them.
She knew Tessa was practically going bankrupt, while they could handle the bills without any effect, but nobody would know that, so they have to buy everything to feel superior.
Mrs Penelope wanted to pay for the clothes when somebody's voice was heard from behind.
"Pay if you want, but these clothes belong to me"
Mrs. Penelope was dumbstruck to hear Tessa's voice, she was angry that the security men let Tessa in again.
Don't they know how to do their job?
"Who let this thief inside"
Annabelle frowned seeing Tessa.
"So you bribe the security men to get in, but what difference does it make, this clothes already belong to us"
The sales girl was furious to see Tessa, she sounded like a trumpet.
"Security!! Security!!..."
More than ten security men instantly appeared on the scene. She was surprised to see the numbers, but it was good they were there because she believed Tessa would struggle this time.
"Kick this girl out, and don't let her inside again, if she tries to get in, you have every right to beat her up!"
Mrs. Penelope and Annabelle's cheeks raised to their eyes, they stood firmly behind the sales girl.
Annabelle sounded.
"Don't you guys know how to do your job, you are ruining DK store image"
Annabelle smiled at Tessa, she couldn't wait to see the security men forcefully drag her out, she might even record it.
She waited for the security men to take action but none of them were moving from their position.
'What is going on here, are these people deaf!'
The sales girl was livid seeing the security men weren't doing anything.
"Hey!! throw this thief away!!"
She wanted to continue when Mr Dawson suddenly emerged on the scene, he had been standing behind Tessa all along.
The sales girl face went pale, she immediately lost her voice. Mrs Penelope and Annabelle were dumbfounded on their spot, they had never seen Mr Dawson before, they had only heard of him, and everybody said he was a busy man.
Why was he here?
Could it be, Tessa called him.
'That can't be true'
Mrs Penelope and Annabelle were both having the same thought.
The sales girl was quivering on her spot, she too hadn't seen Mr Dawson before, she heard from the seniors that he only visited the store once in three months, and he had already visited before she was employed.
Her legs were shaking, but she quickly regained her composure. This was a good thing. If she explained what was happening here, Mr Dawson would acknowledge her for having a sharp vision, and perhaps she would be given a promotion immediately.
The sales girl confidently stepped forward to Mr. Dawson, she had the backing of Mrs. Penelope and Annabelle, no way Mr Dawson would believe one person over three people.
"Sir—"
Before she could even begin her statement, Mr Dawson sent a deafening slap to her face, she collapsed to her knees straight away.
Mrs. Penelope and Annabelle's hearts jumped violently, they didn't understand what was going on.
Mr Dawson raised his voice.
"Take this hag out of here and take her to the police station. She would face the consequences of breaking more than ten rules in the employment contract"
The sales girl was shaking profusely now, it wasn't because of the pain from the slap, but Mr Dawson's words almost squashed her heart.
The lowest fine for breaking the employment rules was a hundred thousand dollars, now Mr Dawson said she had broken ten of them.
She cried helplessly on Mr Dawson's feet.
"Forgive me, sir. Sir please forgive me"
She had no idea what Mr Dawson was talking about, she would've come up with a remarkable lie, but she had no idea what she was getting punished for, it certainly wasn't because of this lady.
Maybe Mr. Dawson saw her outside and she explained everything to him, no way Mr. Dawson believed her.
That have to be the case.
she cried out.
"Sir.... I didn't do anything, this girl truly tried to steal from us"
