“Also, forty-five thousand dollars are just the fees for repairing my car. You still need to provide compensation for the mental anguish you have caused me! I was rushing to attend a function today. Now that I’ve missed it, have you any idea how much I’ve truly lost? It’s far greater than thirty thousand dollars that’s for sure. Hmph!”
That woman looked young, as young as Marven and the rest of his group.
She was overreacting probably because of how rich she was.
Marven and the others said nothing to refute her claims.
“It was just a simple accident. Do you really have to ask for such a great amount for compensation? How are we even going to cough up that sum?”
Stella asked anxiously.
Seventy-five thousand dollars was no small change.
Stella was rather paranoid when it came to driving. She accidentally bumped into the woman’s car when she was trying to dodge a larger vehicle.
“Hmph! I didn’t ask you for the money. Didn’t you say that you’re driving someone else’s car? You don’t have money but the owner of the car should have it! I’ll wait for him to come. Until then, you’re prohibited to leave!”
That woman warned.
At that moment, that woman’s friend, who was also a young lady, emerged from the car. “Let’s forget about it. We came out to have fun today. Maybe you can just let it slide after they pay a bit of compensation?”
“Forget about it? No way! I’ve been down on my luck for the past two days. Like hell, I’m gonna let this slide! Finally, I bumped into a stupid Mister Moneybags and you think I’m gonna let him go? I need to ask for great compensation before that happens!”
The woman whispered to her friend.
After that, she stood at the side of the road and called someone on her phone.
“Marven, did you call Gerald?”
Stella asked Marven.
“Yes, I did. We’re pretty close to his house. He said that he’ll come right away. Damn woman! You’re pretty pesky, aren’t you? We’re almost at his house so quit the anxious yappin’ alright?”
Marven scolded Stella.
“I told you that I didn’t do it on purpose. How could you yell at me for that?”
Stella said with teary eyes.
