It turned out that Roger was driving Patrick's car.
I remembered that there were many sports cars in the garage of the bridal chamber Patrick had bought for him and Caroline.
But he never drove the sports cars at ordinary times.
Seeing that I didn't move, Roger said, "Aren't you also a common citizen? You should be very good at handling this kind of thing. Help me deal with her!"
The way I saw it, the index of Roger's emotional intelligence was probably a negative number.
How come he, who was asking for my help, talk like that?
I rolled my eyes at him and said, "No."
Then I was ready to leave directly.
Roger pulled me with one hand and said, "Don't leave, don't! I'll give you money! 500,000 dollars! What do you think of it? If you settle this matter for me, I'll give you 500,000 dollars!"
The onlookers were stunned.
" 500,000 dollars?"
"Oh my god! The rich are indeed different."
As the old lady who extorted Roger heard that he would give me 500,000 dollars if I could take care of her, she immediately cried and shouted, "Hey, come and see. Someone is being unreasonable here! He hit my leg and wanted to run away without paying me!"
But she didn't hold Roger with her hands any longer.
At this moment, everyone knew that the old lady was a blackmailer.
I took out my cell phone and started filming her directly. As I was filming her, I said to Roger, "500,000 dollars? Get on the car now, step on the accelerator, and drive her over. Then you will only have to pay two million dollars."
"What? Well..."
Seeing that Roger wanted to say something else, I immediately blinked at him.
Although Roger was insensible, he was somewhat quick-witted.
With a look of sudden enlightenment on his face, he said, "I see! Understood!"
After that, he got in the car directly.
I retreated and pushed the onlookers back, telling them to leave a way for Roger.
The old lady sat alone in front of the car and looked straight at the front of the car, feeling a little confused for a moment.
The sound indicating the sports car started rang.
The old lady seemed to intend to get up.
"Buzz!" Although the car didn't move, the old lady was so scared that she stood up and ran away!
I quickly took my cell phone and filmed the old lady's back view.
Roger put out the car engine and got out of the car. Then he looked at me with admiration and said, "Well done! Charlotte, Charlotte Archer, right? I didn't expect you to be so powerful!"
"500,000 dollars."
I spread my hands to him.
"I surely will mean my words." Roger happily ran to the car and took out a stack of checks, planning to write a check.
Originally. I was joking. But I didn't expect that Roger would take my words seriously and intend to give me a check.
I simply couldn't imagine what a rich man's world would be like.
Seeing that he tore off a check and wanted to give it to me, I waved my hand, "I don't want it. I'll be grateful to you if you don't pester Lisa in the future."
After that, I walked in the direction of the law firm.
As soon as I took two steps, I saw Michael and Shelton standing at the door and looking at me in unison.
When I came to the front of them, Michael first clapped his hands and said with a smile, "I didn't expect you to be such a bold and scheming person, Miss Archer."
"No, no."
I was just dealing with someone shameless in a rogue way. And I didn't expect to be seen by Michael and Shelton.
Shelton said to Michael, "Although Charlotte Archer looks like a home cat on the surface, she is actually a wild cat."
"Well, I agree."
The two of them teased me and went upstairs at the same time.
Shelton told me upstairs that he had checked the surveillance video of the Holy Spirit Hospital with his connections. It turned out that when Caroline intended to jump off the building that day, I left Rosy's ward. After that, a nurse went in there and then left in less than one minute.
They had already handed this matter over to the police.
At present, as long as it could be proved that my card had been stolen and that the money wasn't transferred out by me, I naturally would have my name cleared.
When I heard this, I suddenly remembered a thing, "Did you see on the monitor as for who woke my grandmother up and helped her to the rooftop?"
"Well... We didn't pay attention to it." Michael shook his head.
"Can you help me have a look at it?"
I looked at Shelton with a pleading look in my eyes.
