“Either you pay the money, or none of you will leave today!” The man hissed. More and more cars began
to gather around them, disrupting the traffic flow. The sound of the horn resounded continuously, and
there were passersby on both sides.
“How could you do that?” Lucy shouted nervously, “We already said we’d pay you, but $15,000 is too
much for us. Can’t we work something else out?”
The man spat at the ground and said,” Work something else out? I just want money. Don’t think that just
because you two are women, I won’t dare to do anything.”
Naomi looked at him calmly and said, “The manufacturer’s price for the model of your
car is about $270.000, and it’s the cheapest model. The annual full coverage insurance cost is $4,200,
and even if you’ve included the gas fee, parking fee, and road toll for a year, it only takes you about
$15,000 to keep a car, but you’re asking for $15, 000 just because of a little scratch? Go ask the
insurance company yourself and see if they’ll give you the money or not.
“I’ll do the calculation for you. I’ll do the math for you. The automobile sales service center will charge
you $300 to get your tail light fixed, but you can get it repaired with a few dozen dollars at the automobile
repair shop outside. Besides, it only takes about $150 to fix the dent as well as to repaint it.
“Moreover, your insurance will fully cover for a minor accident like this, and we just need to pay for your
damages. It’s our fault for hitting your car, and we’re willing to pay reasonable compensation. But at the
same time, we also have the right to reject if we find your demand unacceptable. “Also, I agreed to call
the cops, but not only did you refuse to cooperate, but you even destroyed my phone. Therefore, I have
every right to suspect that you’re intentionally causing trouble and extorting money.” Perhaps the man
did not expect he would run into someone difficult like Naomi, and his face was getting darker and
darker. He pointed at her nose and shouted, “Do you know who I am? Do you believe I’ll find someone to
get rid of you tomorrow!?” Naomi clenched her fists tightly but stared at the man unflinchingly. “Oh, so
you’re threatening me now? You can try if you dare.” How dare you!” The man suddenly raised his arm in
the air.
Naomi closed her eyes. When the slap that she had expected did not fall, she opened her eyes only to
see that someone had grabbed the man’s arm.
The man was startled as well as he asked,” Who are you?”
Francisco pushed him away and took his sunglasses down. “How can you hit a woman in the street? Are
you still a man or not?” “It… It’s none of your business!” The man studied him up and down before
pointing at him, “Are you going to stand up for them? Do you know who I am?”
Francisco snorted and said, “Then do you know who I am?”
The man was stunned.
In the next second, two police cars came over. “What are you all doing here? You’re blocking the traffic.
And who called us?”
Lucy ran over and said, “I called you.”
She secretly called the police when the man was arguing with Naomi, and now that they were there, she
heaved a sigh of relief. The man’s face changed when he saw the police officers. However, he insisted
that it was them who refused to cooperate and compensate him for the damage. Lucy then chimed in
angrily, “When we said we want to pay you for the damage, you were the one who asked for $15,000.
When we wanted to call the police, you stopped us. I have recorded everything down. You’re trying to
extort and defame us!” Lucy then gave the recording to the police officers. After watching the recording,
they caught the man who tried to run away. “Sir, this is just a misunderstanding. I… I was just joking with
them…”
The police officer said expressionlessly,” Joking? Then I’m sure you’ll enjoy the time with us at the police
station. After all, we like to joke as well.”
The police officers brought him away, and his car was left on the spot.
“Prosecutor Boucher? What are you doing here?” A police officer recognized
Francisco and asked curiously, “Are you with them?”
Francisco shrugged and said, “I just wanted to help them, and then you came.” Prosecutor Boucher?’
