Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Cole Stone glared with wide eyes angrily. “You have a dashcam.”
By now, it became apparent that he had fallen into the other party’s schemes.
There were no surveillance cameras in the surroundings.
It also happened that there were no witnesses around.
Cole Stone clearly got the short end of the stick.
As for the dashcam, the other party must’ve already switched it off.
“Okay, there’s no need to fight. What dashcam?”
However, James Lewis simply ignored Cole Stone.
He provokingly wrapped his arm around Jane Smith’s slender waist and mocked. “Why don’t you just cut to the chase and say that you need money? I’ll give you money.”
As Jane Smith was being caressed by James Lewis, she leaned on him even more.
The two of them looked down on Cole Stone.
Cole Stone saw that Jane Smith did not resist and was even enjoying it.
His eyes burned as his rage was ignited.
Just then…
Bam!
A clear and crisp sound.
James Lewis took out a few red notes and threw them onto Cole Stone’s face.
“Is 50 dollars enough? You can’t even earn this much in a day, right?”
Cole Stone’s face stung in pain.
Quinn Young exclaimed exaggeratedly. “Mr Lewis! That’s 80 dollars, not 50!”
“Let’s consider the extra 30 as his tip.”
James Lewis laughed out loud.
Jane Smith added in a gentle voice. “Mr Lewis is truly generous. Compared to trash who only knows how to fake an accident, you are so much better than him.”
“You’re right…”
James Lewis was overjoyed.
His hand began to roam over Jane Smith’s body and he started to grope her even more.
Following that, he bent down and whispered to Cole Stone. “This is only the beginning… Just wait for it, I’ll make you realize what it’s like to offend me.”
“You dared to kick me? You’ll pay for it with your life!”
“Keep the money, don’t lose it… You can use that to pay for your rent. But, I wonder, can you still even enter your house? Hahaha!”
James Lewis rubbed salt into Cole Stone’s wounds as he provoked him thoroughly.
Cole Stone’s eyes reddened.
He wanted to punch James Lewis.
But this situation was not the same as earlier when they were at the Smiths where he could kick him as he liked.
Many people were watching them right now.
If he punched him, he would only be walking deeper into James Lewis’ trap.
James Lewis intentionally moved closer to Cole Stone only to see the latter glaring at him without moving.
James Lewis clicked his tongue. “At least, you have a brain, Cole Stone.”
“But next time—next time you’ll die…”
Cole Stone gnashed his teeth and remained silent.
The flaming rage in his eyes seemingly wanted to burn James Lewis to ashes.
But he had to endure it!
As long as there was life, there was hope.
If he raised his fist in a moment of rage, the consequence would be too much for his parents to endure.
After speaking, James Lewis stood up straight and looked at him smugly.
“Okay, we’ll leave. Cole Stone has already apologized to me for faking an accident.”
“At least, he knows how to compromise.”
Jane Smith snickered and turned back into Ferrari.
Tom White spat onto Cole Stone’s electric bicycle and said, “Enjoy your delivery! Don’t even think about earning a cent without working.”
Quinn Young held Tom White’s hand and said, “Dear, you’re so compassionate. You even taught a daydreaming pauper like Cole Stone an important life lesson.”
“Right…”
Tom White wiggled his eyebrows.
The four of them turned away and started to walk back into the Ferrari.
Seeing this, the surrounding crowd looked at Cole Stone with contempt in their eyes.
Just then, Cole Stone clenched his teeth and called out. “You can’t just leave like that after hitting someone.”
Just because he did not raise his fist, it did not mean that he was going to let them off.
“We can’t leave?” James Lewis came to a halt.
He turned around and replied smugly, “Is the money not enough?”
“You broke the law!” Cole Stone exclaimed.
“Okay, you say that I broke the law.” James Lewis walked towards him and continued. “Do you have any evidence?”
At that moment…
“What? What happened? Who broke the law?”
Two police officers pushed past the crowd and came over.
They looked at the bleeding Cole Stone, then at the Ferrari.
Their eyes darkened.
Looking at James Lewis, they asked, “Are you the owner?”
“Yes.”
James Lewis nodded.
No matter what the situation was, he could handle it.
James Lewis exchanged a look with Tom White.
Tom White regained his senses and smirked.
“Mr Officer, it’s like this…”
Jane Smith—who had always been timid—started to panic on James Lewis’s behalf.
Her expression changed as she pointed at Cole Stone and started to distort the truth.
“He’s the one who drove illegally on the sidewalk! Mr Lewis couldn’t avoid him in time. We are the witnesses.”
“Yes, that’s right!”
Quinn Young immediately followed up.
Tom White stepped forward and said, “Mr Officer, can you cut us some slack? He is the son of the Lewis family.”
“Can’t we just check the dashcam recorder?”
The traffic policeman frowned and glanced at Tom White.
“I don’t care who is who, show me the recordings.”
Unlike the crowd, he wasn’t foolish.
He would not believe anyone’s words right away.
“This…” Jane Smith’s expression changed as she looked at James Lewis.
Will he be alright?
But James Lewis’ expression did not change.
He had already turned off the dashcam before the ‘accident’!
The two officers walked up to the Ferrari.
After looking around the dashboard, the officers’ faces sank.
There was nothing for them to check!
“My apologies, officers…”
“My car has some issues so I could not turn the dashcam on.”
James Lewis said rather amicably.
He looked thoroughly complacent with his face filled with smugness.
Tom White and Quinn Young went back to normal.
They even directed sinister looks at Cole Stone.
Cole Stone clenched his teeth.
He already knew that James Lewis must’ve turned off the dashcam before the ‘accident’.
“How about this, then?”
The two officers exchanged a look.
They glanced at Cole Stone who was on the ground before sweeping a gaze at the four.
They frowned and one of them spoke up. “Since there’s no evidence as to whose party was in the fault, but since you were injured by the other party—”
“You must compensate him for his medical bills.”
Silence.
James Lewis was overjoyed. “No problem.”
Upon seeing this, Quinn Young pretended to be bitter and resentful. “Poor Mr Lewis! To think that he would be forced to compensate a scammer…”
Silence.
The surrounding crowd also hated Cole Stone.
James Lewis and his entourage encountered a scammer, and despite being the victim, they still had to compensate the scheming scammer…
How tragic.
Seeing this, Cole Stone’s fury burned even hotter.
But since there was no evidence, it didn’t matter even if he spoke up.
Without evidence, no one would possibly believe him.
“Okay.”
The two traffic police officers looked at each other.
They shook their heads and left.
A ridiculing smile hung on James Lewis’s lips as he asked, “How much would you like me to compensate you?”
“Tom White, get the cash from the car.”
“Since your leg is injured, is eight thousand enough?”
He brought cash with him on purpose.
It was for the sake of publicly humiliating Cole Stone!
