Chapter 349: The Shame Of Being Penniless!

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

As a cab driver, he didn’t want to get involved in the scuffle between two scions of wealthy families.

As an ordinary citizen, he just wanted to be compensated as soon as possible and then leave this place.

However, Robb immediately snapped at the cab driver after hearing his demand for a monetary compensation.

“I haven’t even settled the scores with you for f***ing provoking Mr. Hank. How dare you ask us for monetary compensation? You’re not getting a single cent!”

The cab driver knew they were not to be trifled with, so he looked at Jordan and said, “Sir, you were the one who told me to overtake them at all costs in the car just now. You also said that you’d be responsible for all the consequences.”

“How about you give me $400 to get my car repaired?”

The driver asked Jordan for $400!

At this moment, many residents nearby had also surrounded them to watch the commotion.

Jordan pointed to Chris’s car and said, “They tried to force their way over, and that’s an act of hooliganism. Yet, they want to shirk responsibility?”

“Call the traffic police or insurance company. They’re definitely 100% liable for such a situation.”

Hearing Jordan’s words, some onlookers chimed in.

“Yeah, I saw the driver of that SUV continuously honking and overtaking that car. The SUV driver is indeed responsible.

“That goes without saying. How can the cab driver possibly tailgate the SUV? However, the general amount of insurance coverage for cab drivers is rather large, so even if the cab driver is to be liable for the accident, he doesn’t have to worry much.”

As soon as Chris heard the cab driver asking Jordan for $400, which Jordan seemed to try to avoid paying, Chris immediately associated it with the matter of Jordan’s assets being frozen.

Chris was already aware of this matter and had even heard a little something about Jordan breaking into the Howards alone and even injuring Brad’s leg.

Chris laughed and said, “You don’t have to call the traffic police or the insurance company. I doubt 400 bucks is enough to cover the repair costs of this car. It’ll cost at least $800.”

“Robb, give this cab driver $800.”

Robb was stunned for a moment. “Mr. Hank…”

Robb thought to himself, ‘There’s no need for a prestigious figure like Chris to bother about a lowly cab driver. They won’t dare to provoke him, anyway.’

“Pay him!”

Seeing that Robb was hesitating, Chris immediately seemed displeased.

“Yes!”

Knowing that Chris was hot-tempered and could hit someone whenever he wanted, Robb immediately took out his cell phone and transferred 800 dollars to the cab driver.

“Thank you, thank you. You guys go ahead, I’ll take my leave.”

The cab driver smiled and was ready to leave.

However, he was stopped by Chris. “Wait a minute, don’t go just yet. We’re not done here.”

Chris looked at Jordan and said, “I’ve already compensated you for the damage done to you. It’s my responsibility, so I’ll take it.”

“But you were in the car just now and you clearly promised to take responsibility for it if anything untoward happens.”

“Shouldn’t you also transfer $800 to him?”

Hearing that he might get to receive another $800, the cab driver was instantly overjoyed!

If he were to receive $800, he would have $1,600 in total. He could get an acquaintance to help repair his car for just $200, which meant that he’d be able to profit by $1,400!

Hence, the cab driver also made things hard for Jordan. “Yeah, Sir, I was planning to give way just now because I thought they must have tried to overtake me because of an urgent matter.”

“But you refused to let me give way and even asked me to speed up while assuring me you’d bear the losses, if there are any.”
