Chapter 648 Twisting Things Around
"Okay, then. Let''s go," Tom said with a nod.
Armed with raincoats and umbres, Tom and Miranda left the house.
The rain was pouring. Lightning shed in the distance as the two headed toward Churron''s city center.
…
Sherry and Cecilia were riding on an old bicycle with a sidecar attached. They were both drenched
from the rain. As the sky darkened, it became harder for them to see the road ahead.
Gritting her teeth, Sherry did her best to ride the bicycle home.
"Mom, why don''t we stop and take shelter somewhere? We can wait out the rain before we head
home," Cecilia suggested.
"There''s no shelter anywhere near us, Cece. Let''s just get home as soon as we can," Sherry said.
"Alright, Mom. You should rest. I''ll take us home," Cecilia urged.
"It''s fine. Just sit back there. I''m not tired," Sherry firmly declined. She didn''t want to let Cecilia ride in
her ce as she knew how hard it was to ride a bicycle under such weather conditions.
All of a sudden, there was a sh of light in the distance, and a Maybach came charging toward them.
When the women saw the Maybach, it was only a few feet away from them.
Sherry swiftly tried to veer the bicycle to the right, but the Maybach came rushing at them anyway.
"Arghhh!"
Sherry and Cecilia screamed in panic. The Maybach was going too fast. They couldn''t avoid it.
There was a loud crash as the Maybach mmed into the bicycle.
Sherry and Cecilia were sent flying off the bicycle. They shrieked as they hit the ground.
Even though the driver of the Maybach tried to m the brakes, the road was too slippery, and the car
was going too fast. It couldn''t be stopped in time.
When the Maybach finally stopped by the side of the road, a drunk young man came out, followed by
two equally drunk men.
All three of them studied the damage. The front of the car was dented, and one of the lights had
shattered.
The first man was infuriated, and his two friends swiftly started makingments.
"Look at the damage on your new car, ke! It pains me to see it."
"That''s right, ke. Isn''t it frustrating that a shabby bicycle did so much damage to your fancy
Maybach?"
"Fucking hell! I won''t let this slide!" The owner of the Maybach marched up to Sherry and Cecilia.
He was ke Jessop, the son of a real estate tycoon in Churron.
When Sherry saw Cecilia lying motionless on the ground, she bore through the pain she felt and
crawled over.
"Cece! Are you okay?" Sherry eximed.
"I''m fine, Mom. Don''t worry. Are you hurt?" Cecilia asked as she gasped in pain.
"I''m alright. I''m just a little startled," Sherry assured as she helped Cecilia up.
As soon as they got up, they saw ke and hisckeysing over.
"Are you fucking blind? Why did you bang into my car?" ke roared as he kicked Sherry in the
abdomen.
Sherry yelped as she fell to the ground.
"Mom!" Cecilia shouted.
"I think I sprained my waist." Sherry groaned in pain.
"How can you kick her? You didn''t even bother to find out what happened!" Cecilia fumed.
"So what if I did? You ruined my new car! Why can''t I teach you two a lesson, huh?" ke growled.
He was furious that his new car had been damaged so severely when he had only driven it for a few
days.
"We stayed in ourne on the right. You''re the one who drove on the wrong side and crashed into us!
Why are you twisting things around and using us of crashing into you?" Cecilia argued angrily.
"How dare you try to refute me? It''s your fault for suddenly showing up on the road. Why would I bang
into you if you people weren''t here?" ke retorted.
Despite the rainstorm, Cecilia caught the stench of alcohol from the three men.
"You were driving under the influence, and you even drove above the speed limit! This isn''t a motorway.
You''ve broken thew!" Cecilia snapped.
"So what if I was drinking, huh? So what if it''s not a motorway? I can''t stand beggars like you who live
in this area. You''re ruining Churron''s image!" ke said scornfully.
"Hey, bitch. Do you know how much his Maybach is worth?" one of ke''s friends piped up.
"Yeah! You beggars probably can''t even afford one of the tires!" the other chimed in.
"You''re the one who crashed into us. I''m not going to argue with you. I''ll let the authorities handle this!"
Cecilia said as she took her phone out to make the call.
ke swiftly snatched her phone away and threw it onto the ground.
"You! How dare you?" Cecilia screamed in fury.
"So what if you call the authorities? I''ve got people in high ces!" ke smirked.
His indifference scared Cecilia a little.

She was still a high schooler, unexposed to the evils of society.
There was no way she and Sherry could pay for the Maybach.
"You ruined my favorite car! Pay up!" ke demanded.
"How much… do you want us to pay?" Sherry asked fearfully.
"500 thousand dors!" ke dered.
"What did you say? 500 thousand dors?" Sherry was dumbstruck.
She couldn''t even afford to pay 50 thousand dors, let alone 500 thousand dors.
"That''s right. My car''s worth millions! It''ll cost hundreds of thousands just to fix it up a little," ke said.
"I… I don''t have that kind of money," Sherry muttered.
"You think I don''t know that? You''re broke. I''m going to teach you a lesson first!" ke fumed.
Upon hearing that, ke''s friends immediately marched up to Sherry and started hitting her.
Cecilia rushed forward to stop them. "Stop! Don''t hit her! Stop it!"
One of the men swiftly pped Cecilia, and she stumbled to the ground.
"Cece!" Sherry''s heart broke at the sight of Cecilia getting pped.
s, ke''s friends continued to kick Sherry, and she couldn''t move at all.
"Mom!" Cecilia screamed.
Her heart broke when she saw the men attacking Sherry. She wanted to defend Sherry, but she
couldn''t do anything.
How could the two of them win a fight against three grown men?
Cecilia had no choice but to beg, "Please stop hitting her! You''re going to kill her! Please stop…"
