Chapter 86: The Consequences.
She took a deep breath and looked over at him, “Mr. Andrews, if you’re going back to Veridian City today as well. Why don’t you take my car back?”
Alexia’s eyes widened in disbelief and she was in a hurry, so that was what Victoria had in mind.
“Fine, you bitch! So it was you who wanted to take advantage of your husband’s absence to hook up with a man outside! No wonder you’ve left and deliberately withdrawn back. I guess this car is what you smashed, so you were waiting for this opportunity, how can you be so shameless? Everyone come and take a look ah, what a shameless woman!”
There weren’t many people in front of Papa Bree, but when Alexia yelled at her, all the people coming in and out looked over.
Victoria’s brow was throbbing and her lips pursed.
If Alexia wasn’t her nominal cousin-in-law and for the sake of her uncle, she would have slapped her across the face.
Anyway, if she wanted to mess around blindly, let her do it.
Alexia also knew she would tolerate her for her uncle’s sake, so she let loose even more.
“Thought you were so noble. I didn’t realize that you are also a little slut who is messing around outside behind your husband’s back. I really feel sad for your husband. Does he know that you are hooking up with men outside indiscriminately?”
Seeing Victoria’s silence, Alexia smirked and looked over at Nick, “Mr. Andrews, you need to see this bitch for what she is. I guess she’s following you to Hopmeadow Downs this time.”
Victoria laughed in exasperation, everyone knew she had come to visit her mom’s grave and now she was being turned upside down.
She opened her mouth, but realized there was nothing to say to her.
Alexia was about to continue speaking when she heard Nick say to a man on the sidelines, “Check the surveillance.”
Declan, who was beside him, was also a bit pissed off that the delay would make it late to get back to Veridian City.NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.
“Fifteen million dollars for this car, enough to put the perpetrator in jail. We’ve got Andrews Enterprise’s lawyers on their way from Veridian City. The initial estimate of the damage is no less than eight million dollars, and we want every penny of that from the perpetrator, and we’re not accepting any kind of private settlement.”
Declan’s words represented Nick’s meaning.
Nick looked to Victoria, “Let’s go.”
And Alexia, hearing this from the sidelines, was frozen in place and unable to move.
It was just a window and a few tires, how can it cost $8 million, wasn’t it a few thousand dollars?
She panicked a bit and looked around again in a hurry, and after seeing that there was a surveillance camera right there at the front door, she was so scared that her legs went weak and she hurriedly followed them.
“Mr. Andrews, don’t you have insurance on this car? It’s actually possible to go through insurance, isn’t it? Eight million dollars isn’t cheap, it’s killing the average person.”
Nick didn’t even look at her and went straight to Victoria’s car.
Declan was self-conscious enough to go to the driver’s seat, and Victoria saw that she had to sit in the back as well.
Alexia rushed to come up and tap on the window, but Declan, who apparently couldn’t stand the woman either, stepped right on the gas.
Victoria had come back for her wallet, so she had to let it go at this point.
Alexia, who had just been so proud of herself, went straight to white, her head full of that eight million dollars.
How to pay it back? What to do?
Shivering, she rushed to her car and drove it home.
Jonathan and Ellie rushed to ask when they saw how pale she looked.
“Alexia, what’s going on?”
Alexia couldn’t say a word, she had never seen eight million dollars in her life, so how could she possibly afford to lose it?
‘If we don’t pay, when Nick’s lawyer comes, does that mean jail time?’
The more Alexia thought about it, the more scared she got, so scared that she couldn’t say a word, and tears were smashed all over her face.
Mr. and Mrs. Jonathan was still in the dark until the police arrived and put silver handcuffs directly to Alexia’s wrists.
“Mom! Dad! You have to save me. I really didn’t know that car was going to cost so much money. I thought a few thousand dollars would take care of it, you have to call Victoria, she has a great relationship with that boss, as long as you beg her, she’ll definitely be willing to save me!”
She was angry and hateful, “Eight million dollars! How can I afford to pay eight million dollars?”
“Who knows what Victoria and that boss are doing in the car at this point? Shame on her! If it wasn’t for her, I wouldn’t have done it!”
Jonathan and Ellie were already panicked when they saw the police coming, and they finally learned what was going on from the police’s words. They also heard that Victoria and that boss were in the same car at the moment, so Jonathan had to pull down his old face and call her.
Victoria saw the phone call from Jonathan and inexplicably a wave of annoyance rose. But still she couldn’t help but answer it because it was from an elder.
“Uncle.”
“Mr. Andrews and you in a car, right? If you….. and he are on good terms, can you plead for Alexia? She didn’t mean to smash that car, and she probably doesn’t know how much it costs, can this matter not go to court?”
Even though Victoria had already more or less expected it, she still found it a bit absurd to hear Jonathan’s request in person.
“Uncle, after she smashed up that car, she volunteered to take Mr. Andrews for a ride in your car, and showed up at such an opportune time, do you really believe she didn’t do it on purpose?”
“It’s useless for you to talk to me about this matter. That car is so expensive, since she dares to smash it, she has to think about taking all the consequences.”
