The car was brought to a stop in less than three minutes.
Raegan was still rattled after the car stopped.
Her car was equipped with run-t tires, which were not supposed to burst unexpectedly.
Raegan took a deep breath and stepped out to check the car.
The street she had just driven on had a manhole cover sticking out, with sharp nails all around it.
It seemed like a trap had been set on purpose.
Who would do something like that?
Fortunately, Raegan was rtively calm.
A less experienced driver might have ended up rolling the car.
Just then, ady in her sixties approached Raegan, eximing, “Oh dear, what happened? Did your tire burst?”
Raegan just nodded.
Thedy quickly suggested, “You’re quite lucky! My son has been a mechanic for years.
How about I get him to change your tire?”
Raegan found thedy’s offer too enthusiastic and politely refused, “No, thanks.
”
Raegan nned to call for a tow truck and possibly get a recement vehicle.
But time was tight.
Thedy lingered close by, chattering away about swapping the tire for Raegan.
Raegan firmly declined and moved away to phone for help.
When she finished the call and looked back, her car was already lifted on a jack.
A dirty man in his thirties was recing the tire.
Raegan came over with a serious expression, asking, “What are you doing?”
Thedy responded with a smile, “No need to worry.
We’re just helping you with the tire change.
”
Raegan’s expression turned to a scowl.
“I didn’t give you permission to do that.
”
Thedyughed Lightly.
“You say you didn’t ask, but we couldn’t have proceeded without your approval, right?”
Raegan was at a loss for words.This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.
She had explicitly declined their help.
Nevertheless, the man finished the job swiftly.
Thedy quickly said, “There you go.
It’s all set.
Your car is lovely, and we’ve fitted a top-notch tire, typically priced over ten thousand.
But for you, just nine thousand eight hundred.
”
Raegan nced at the tire, clearly cheap and probably not even worth a hundred.
And they were asking for nine thousand eight hundred! This was obviously a scam! She said, “I don’t need it.
Please take it off.
”
Thedy’s attitude shifted immediately, and she said arrogantly, “We’ve already put it on.
If we remove it now, it’ll be considered used.
Then who would buy it?”
Raegan stood her ground.
“I never requested this service.
You went ahead without my consent.
”
Thedy was relentless, replying, “Wow, you look great behind the wheel of this fancy car.
Is it really worth bargaining over this small amount? Fine! Let me make it easier for you.
Eight thousand eight hundred.
How does that sound?”
