The driver instantly became aggressive. He said, "Pay up. You can't take a ride without paying."
The driver was cunning. He had been roaming across Seechertown for years and knew the people who came out from the golf course were rich.
Also, he could smell the alcohol coming from Wilbur, so he sneakily adjusted the meter. Moreover, he could tell those two were not married. They were probably dating.
Usually in a situation where the guy was drunk, he would pay without caring about the amount.
Even if they were sober, the guy would usually pretend to be generous in front of their girlfriends. They would pay up to avoid unnecessary trouble too.
It was not the first time he had done this kind of scam. He basically had everything covered.
However, Wilbur was not drunk at all. The price was absurdly high, and he did not want to be treated as a fool, so he asked the driver.
He had no idea the driver would flip out on him. Wilbur was also annoyed by that.
He looked at the driver and said, "Aren't you worried that I'll report you for doing that? You'll be fined."
The driver instantly yelled, "Hey, are you trying to avoid payment?"
"Watch it. Are you threatening me?" asked Wilbur nonchalantly.
The driver noticed that it was not working on Wilbur, so he instantly got out of the car and slammed the door. He yelled at Wilbur, "Get out right now!"
The driver noticed his usual trick was not working, so he was about to act like a gangster on him. It was one of his tricks too.
Nancy, who was about to go upstairs, noticed something was wrong, so she hurriedly turned back. Wilbur got out of the car.
Nancy asked, "What's going on?"
"This guy is trying to scam me by adjusting the meter. He's also trying to threaten me," said Wilbur while laughing.
