The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 967

"Ma'am? Did you just call me ma'am? Do you know how to address people properly?" The woman got angry by how Sheryl addressed her. She stared at Sheryl and felt even more irritated. "What do you exactly mean by that? I thought you were a polite woman. But how could you turn to be so thoughtless then? You should look at the brand of our car! Do you think that two thousand is enough to fix our car?"

The more the woman rebuked, the more distressed she was. "Moreover, We have wasted so much time with you. Don't you need to compensate us for our wasted time?"

"You…" That was when Sheryl understood that these people were just blackmailing her.

Although she was also angry, Sheryl knew that everything going on was her fault.

Thus, she tried to hold her anger and said, "So… how much do you think I should pay you then?"

Sheryl originally planned to buy peace. She would accept her price as long as she didn't ask for too much. She thought that it would be a lot easier to just take this as a lesson and promised not to do the same next time.

The woman was still about to say something when the man beside her suddenly grabbed the money in Sheryl's hand. "Fine! Our car isn't that much damaged anyway. I think two thousand is enough. We need to go now. Our son is still waiting for us at home."

"What's wrong with you?" The woman rebuked the man as she immediately took the money from him and put it in Sheryl's hand. Then she continued, "Didn't I tell you to be silent? What are you doing now?"

That made the man look at the woman helplessly and say, "Why don't you just leave things at this? She hit our car, but that wasn't her intent. Let's just take the money…"

"Is it because she is beautiful that you are being easily persuaded? Well, let me tell you this, I won't let her go so easily about this!" Determination was written all over the woman's face when she forced those words between her teeth.

Seeing the couple begin to quarrel because of her, Sheryl felt a little sorry. Thus, she stared at the woman and said in an embarrassed voice, "Stop fighting, okay? I think we'd better solve the problem as soon as possible. I also don't want to waste my time anymore. Name the price. How much do you want me to pay?"

"Twenty thousand," the woman demanded an impossible price. The man was instantly dumbfounded upon hearing the amount she just blurted out. At the same time, Sheryl was also taken aback.

"Twenty thousand?" Sheryl repeated in a surprised tone. With her eyes wide with disbelief, she exclaimed, "Are you kidding me?"

"I don't have spare time to be playing tricks with you." The woman felt unhappy with her reaction. She put on a sarcastic smile and continued, "No bargain. I won't accept any compensation less than twenty thousand."

With her eyes still wide, Sheryl looked at the woman. She couldn't believe how this woman would think of her as a sitting duck. Did she really think that she was that helpless and easy to trick?

A sarcastic smile cracked Sheryl's beautiful lips. "Lady, your car is undoubtedly a nice car. However, I think that you can also see that your car just got scratched. Obviously, it just lost a little paint. Now you're asking for twenty thousand for that? Don't you think you're crossing the limit?"

"I'm crossing the limit?" the woman parroted with a sardonic smile. Then she replied, "I have wasted so much time on you. Shouldn't the wasted time be counted in? Furthermore, I don't have a car to drive in the following days. The taxi fees of our family should also be counted in, right? The car repairs and our mental damage compensation should also be added. Do you still think that my demand is too much?"

"You…" Sheryl was irritated by the woman's brazenness. The man pulled the woman's sleeve and said, "Don't cross your line."
