Chapter 966 A Car ident


    "I didn''t give it much thought," Susan responded as she lowered her head. "Mr. Han is my boss, but he


    apologized to me earnestly and begged me to forgive his girlfriend. He looked so sincere that I had no


    heart to refuse his request. So I agreed."


    Though Sheryl was angry at how it ended, she finally stopped ming the girl. With a wry smile, she


    said, "We are done with this topic. Things had already happened, so it''s useless to scold you now."


    Letting a sigh, she continued, "It''s gettingte. Go to sleep. I got to go."


    Before she left, she reminded Susan to think twice before making a decision. She didn''t step out of the


    Su family''s apartment until thetter nodded in agreement.


    Sheryl had been engrossed in her thoughts on her way home. ording to what Susan said, George


    had learnt what Holley had done to her. However, he didn''t bring it up in front of his girlfriend. Instead,


    he hired people to investigate on her.


    ''Now I understand why George would look into Holley. It looked like he didn''t trust her as much as he


    did before, '' she thought.


    In between thoughts, she suddenly looked up and saw a suspicious car on her rear-view mirror. She


    kept driving and noticed that it seemed to remain behind her. It then crossed her mind that she was


    being followed. So she sped up deliberately, but the car behind ran faster too. She made a turn and


    took a detour with the thought that she would get rid of the car, but to her surprise, it remained to follow


    her at a distance.


    Flustered, Sheryl stepped on the gas in an attempt to lose it. Unexpectedly she hit another car that


    appeared in front of hers.


    "Bump!" The air bag went off as Sheryl mmed on the brakes. As a result, her face got buried in the


    air bag. She looked outside the car window and saw how the car behind drove past her as if nothing


    happened. But she wasn''t able to see the driver''s face since the car window was closed.


    Before Sheryl could mull over who would follow her, the driver of the car she bumped into stepped out


    furiously. After checking the rear end of his car, he strode to the side of her car and knocked on her car


    window violently. She had no choice but to roll down the window. With an irritated look, he shouted at


    her, "What''s wrong with you?"


    As Sheryl didn''t respond, he went on grumpily, "Didn''t you see that the red light was on? Have you lost


    your mind?"


    "Oh, sorry. I am so sorry," Sheryl apologized in embarrassment. She didn''t get injured, but she didn''t


    get over the shock. After regaining herposure, she pushed the car door and stepped out. "So what


    do you want?" she asked calmly.


    A fat woman from the passenger''s seat got out, walked straight to the driver''s side and examined


    Sheryl from head to toe. Before the man could open his mouth, she said arrogantly, "What did you


    mean? It''s your fault, so watch your tone."


    Sheryl frowned at the woman. "I''m not going to run away from my responsibility. It''s my fault. I was


    inquiring about your opinion on how we can resolve this. There are two ways to settle it: I can give you


    some money or you can contact the insurancepany. I am okay with either of them."


    "The former," the woman said.


    "Thetter," the man answered at the same time. The man and the woman didn''t seem to reach an


    agreement. Raising her brows, Sheryl turned to both of them and suggested, "How about you two


    discuss it first and then tell me your decision?"


    The woman pulled the man a few feet away from Sheryl before she seethed, "Did you hit your head?


    Têxt ? N?velDrama.Org.


    How could you make such a stupid decision?"


    "Why not?" the man argued, and he seemed confused as he looked at her. "It''s not our fault, so we can


    get a soundpensation from the insurancepany. Isn''t it good?"


    "Oh my god, why did I marry a simpleton?" the woman whined and glowered at him. "Look at that


    woman. She is dressed in designer clothes. Her car is not bad too. She must be rich. Now that she is


    willing to pay us somepensation, we can ckmail her and get a generous amount of money. I


    despise such stupid and rich people like her."


    Noticing the hesitant expression on the man''s face, she cast a disgruntled nce at him. "Just shut up


    while I negotiate with her.


    Do you hear me?" shemanded. "I don''t think it''s a good idea, honey," the man retorted with a


    scowling face.


    "What are you talking about?" With a contemptuous look at him, the woman snorted, "You are just a


    coward. I finally understood why you couldn''t make a fortune."


    Darting a scornful nce at him, she urged, "Remember to hold your tongue. Let me do the talking."


    The man remained silent.


    While the two were engaged in a discussion, Sheryl made a call to Charles and asked him to pick her


    up. Since her car broke down, she also needed to get it repaired.


    Actually, Charles already learnt about Sheryl''s ident even before he received the call. He was


    already on his way to her when she called up him.


    "Excuse me," the woman began as she approached Sheryl. "We reached an agreement."


    Sheryl had been contemting on the identity of the driver of the car who had followed her. The


    woman''s voice brought her back to reality. With a polite smile, she responded, "I am sorry for getting


    you into trouble. It''s my fault. Please name your price. I will do anything to satisfy your requirements."


    "Now I am feeling better," the woman said with a fake smile. She made up her mind to swindle arge


    sum of money from her. Staring at her target, she proposed, "It''s a bitte now. I don''t think it would be


    a good idea to call the police. Besides, you already apologized to us sincerely. So we decided to settle


    it out of court."


    The woman made it sound like they had been taken advantage of. To make Sheryl believe that they


    didn''t mean to give her a hard time, she went on, "My husband and I had a discussion and we believed


    that you didn''t hit us on purpose. It''s alreadyte. If we call the police, it would be a waste of time. So


    we think you can just give us some money as you please."


    "Thank you for understanding," Sheryl responded. As a matter of fact, she didn''t want to call the police.


    She couldn''t help but tremble with fear at the thought of her ident. Now she was in no mood to deal


    with police officers. She thought it would just be best to settle it with money.


    Sheryl bent down and took out her purse from her car. As she opened it, she found two thousand


    dors inside. She then checked the couple''s car and saw some scratches on it. ''It takes approximately


    ten thousand dors to get their car repaired, '' she thought.


    But since the couple stayed to settle her mistake, she took out all the cash from her wallet. Looking


    guilty, she said apologetically, "I am really sorry for making you terrified. I have $2, 000. Please take it."


    Before she could finish her words, the woman threw a dissatisfied nce at her. With a sneer, she said,


    "Seriously? You intended to use two thousand to settle this? No way."


    Sheryl was confounded. She didn''t know what else this woman wanted.


    She knew that she was responsible for the ident which was why she decided to give them that


    much. In fact, her car was the one that was badly damaged, while the couple''s car was only slightly


    scratched.


    This was the cheapest car she had in her house. Three years ago, she spent all of her savings on this


    car.


    With a baffled look at the woman, she rified, "Excuse me, ma''am, I don''t know what you meant."
