Chapter 1569
Ste shot Keegan a look that asked him to rx. She approached the couple with trembling hands.
She then hunched over and asked, “Sir, how is your wife?”
Seeing Keegan’s expression bing much more restrained, the man immediately used him.
“Your grandson crashed into my car and pushed my wife. She’s five months pregnant, and we don’t
even know if the child will make it!”
Upon hearing this, Ste raised her trembling hand and pped Keegan. “You unfilial child! How could
youy a hand on a pregnant woman?!”
Keegan endured the p that did not really sting. He bore his teeth and cooperated with her
performance. “I didn’t push her!”
“Stop being so stubborn, will you?!” Ste yelled, and she pped him two more times.
Keegan kept his mouth shut. He suspected that this woman was taking this opportunity to settle an old
score with him.
After reprimanding Keegan, Ste started coughing for a moment. Then, she turned to the man with a
gentle smile.” This boy was in a rush to take me to the hospital. He doesn’t have much patience and is
not good with words. There’s no need to argue with him, sir.”
The man gave Ste a scornful look. “At least one of you is making sense here. How did you end up
raising such a crude, olddy?”
Keegan’s face darkened. He was on the verge of losing his temper, but Ste firmly held onto his hand.
She changed the subject and asked, “How is your wife? We can take her to the hospital for an
examination.”
“We can do the examination ourselves. Justpensate us, and we’ll get going.”
“It’s better we all get her checked just in case. What will you do if things are more serious than it is and
what we pay you isn’t enough for her medical bills?” Ste said persuasively.
The man was baffled upon hearing that. ‘What is wrong with this olddy? Why would she care if they
underpensate us?’
“Stop wasting my time. Give us twenty grand, and we’ll be even. We won’t be bothering you even if my
wife’s condition turns out to be more serious than it is.”
Ste frowned and gripped the man’s hand. “Sir, can’t we talk this out? Two hundred thousand dors
is not a small sum…”
Just as the man was listening to her, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his palm. He instinctively pulled
his hand away from hers, causing Ste to stumble and fall to the ground.
Ste cried out in pain, as shey there. Her face was turning pale. Her legs twitched, as she struggled
to get up.
This scene left the man dumbfounded. Keegan was also startled by this sudden turn of events. He was
about to help Ste up, but she pinched him just as his hand touched her.
Keegan could not believe her.
“Ouch… My back… Ouch… My elbow… Ouch…” Ste trembled and groaned. “Sir, I was just trying to
negotiate with you. Why did you push me? Ouch…” she said in a strained voice.
The man finally realized what she was doing. “You old hag. You’re trying to scam me, aren’t you? I
didn’t push you!”
Ste curled up on the ground. Her voice was frail, as she used, “Why would I falsely use you
when so many people are watching? I didn’t say I wouldn’t give you money. Why did you resort to
violence..? Ow…”
“Is this guy out of his mind? Not only did he not rush his pregnant wife to the hospital, but he even
pushed an olddy!”
“With so many surveince cameras around, they won’t get away with this. Why was he so insistent on
getting the money when insurance would cover the damage and the medical bills?”
“That pregnant woman was wailing earlier, but now she’s not even shedding a tear. Were they trying to
con the man into paying them?”

Seeing the crowd pointing fingers at him, the man suddenly grew furious and embarrassed. “You old
hag. You used something to prick me. That was why I let go of your grip. Just admit you don’t want to
pay me. You are deliberately trying to scam me out of mypensation!”
Ste remained silent. Her face was pale as shey on the ground, while her legs were twitching. Upon
witnessing this scene, Keegan suddenly thought of Jaylene’s condition during thest family gathering.
