Chapter 179 Not All That Bad
It was also then that Lydia noticed Jared had hit another car with his, and it was a Maserati at that. She instantly exclaimed, “You’ve hit the jackpot, Jared! You could’ve rammed into any car, but it just had to be a Maserati! This car costs a few million, so I’m afraid that your car insurance probably can’t cover it.”
“That’s no concern of yours, so please keep out of it. It’s my own business!” Jared asserted coldly.
“Jared, let me tell you this. The company will never agree to a salary advance. Why did you have to roam around in a shabby car? I’m afraid that you’re going to go bankrupt this time!”
The corners of Zayne’s mouth turned up, and undisguised jubilance showed on his face.
“What exactly happened here, Jared? You’re truly in hot water now!” Maria chided Jared with a frown.
“It’s no big deal. It’s just a paltry car crash, isn’t it?”
Jared smirked, for it didn’t even register as a blip on his radar.
“A paltry car crash? Please open your eyes wide and look at the car you hit. This is a Maserati that costs a few million, you know?” Lydia sneered.
“Jared, I’d advise you to ride a motorbike instead. You’re not suited to drive a car. You hit a Maserati today, but you might hit a Porsche tomorrow. If that happens, you won’t be able to afford the compensation even if you were to auction yourself off!” Zayne earnestly persuaded Jared, but his eyes radiated scorn.
Meanwhile, the woman at the side was all the more convinced that Jared was merely a deadbeat with no connections whatsoever upon seeing Zayne and the others mocking him. Thus, she shouted, “Weren’t you as bold as brass, saying that you want to plow into my car, kid? Go ahead if you dare!”
She kept challenging and provoking him endlessly.
Not in the mood to yak with her, Jared got into his car to ram into the Maserati.
Seeing that, Maria grabbed him. “Have you lost your mind, Jared? Get out! Do you know how much the car costs? If you were to hit it impulsively, you wouldn’t be able to afford the compensation even if you were to empty your savings and sell your house off!”
She initially didn’t want to bother about him, but she couldn’t stand idly by when it was such a grave issue of crashing into a Maserati. He’ll have to pay a ton in compensation, and if he can’t afford it, he’ll just come to my family and ask for a loan!
“Just let him be, Maria! Isn’t he all high and mighty? Let him ram into it. If he can’t afford to pay the compensation, he can go to prison. It’s not like he hasn’t been to prison before!”
Zayne wore a frosty expression on his face, chagrined that she stopped Jared from acting.
“If he were to really crash into it, he’d have to pay a couple million in compensation! That’s no joke! Even if Jared’s family were to sell off their house, they wouldn’t be able to fork out that much money! What’s going to happen to his parents then?” Maria snapped, shooting him a glare.
Indeed, she detested Jared and didn’t really like his family either, for she felt that they were deliberately clinging to her rich family just to obtain some benefits.
Nonetheless, that didn’t mean that she wanted them to end up destitute and homeless. If he acts impulsively and plows into the car for real, his entire family will be doomed!
At the sight of her staunch defense of Jared, Zayne was filled with fury.
Meanwhile, Jared cast Maria a glance, and his impression of her improved significantly. Hmm, it looks like she’s not all that bad!
At that exact moment, two vans sped over. A dozen menacing-looking men then climbed out with batons in their hands.
“Darling!” The woman trotted over to the man in sportswear and coquettishly griped, “Darling, someone hit me just now! Look at my face!”
After scrutinizing her face, the man flew into a rage. With a glacial expression, he demanded, “Who hit my wife? Step out right now!”
