Chapter 178 I Will Bankrupt You
Jared had initially wanted to settle the matter peacefully even though it was the other party’s fault for overtaking his car at the gate of a neighborhood. However, he didn’t expect her to lay into him right after she got out of the car. That had his temper spiking at once.
“You were the one who abruptly dashed in front of my car! So, why are you blaming me for hitting your car?” Jared demanded.
“Why? Well, you shouldn’t have blocked my path when you’re only driving a rickety Ford! Is this a place for someone like you?” The woman eyed him with contempt before she roared at the security guards, “Are the lot of you doing your job? How could you allow such a car into the neighborhood? This is just too embarrassing for the neighborhood and the property owners!”
The few security guards merely looked at the arrogant woman, not daring to riposte her despite the fury blazing within them. They were only security guards at the end of the day, so they couldn’t afford to offend her.
At the woman’s haughty demeanor, Jared was seized by the urge to step forward and slap her. Remembering that he was in a rush to train, however, he didn’t want to waste his time there. Thus, he snapped, “Name your figure. How much do you want? I don’t have the time to bicker with you here!”
When the woman noticed his impatience, she immediately raised her voice several decibels and proclaimed, “Do you know how much my car costs? It costs over two million! I won’t be able to repair the damage from your hit without a hundred to two hundred grand! You wouldn’t be able to compensate me even if you were to give me your car!”
“Cut the crap and just name your price!” Jared’s brows knitted together.
“How dare you say that? Do you believe that I’ll…”
While saying that, the woman raised her hand to strike Jared across the face. However, Jared caught her hand and slapped her hard instead.
The woman’s sunglasses went flying, and even the straw hat on her head fell off. That had her freezing for a moment.
Never in her wildest dreams had she ever expected Jared to have the guts to get physical with her. How dare he make a move against me when he’s just driving a Ford?
“Great, just great! How dare you hit me, kid? I swear by all that’s holy that I’m going to kill you today!”
