“It’s only a minor issue, so I can’t be bothered to submit a claim. Why the sudden question, Zachary?”
Zachary fell silent before uttering, “The woman who scratched your car this morning is the sister of my nana’s lifesaver. The sisters only have each other, and the woman is a housewife without an income. They’re worried they can’t pay for your car’s repairs.”
Duncan replied, “… Talk about a coincidence. I can’t believe she was the sister of your grandma’s lifesaver. How did you find out?”
Zachary lied. “My nana is fond of her lifesaver and often seeks companionship in her. Nana had to ask why she was looking blue today, so Hunt told her what happened.”
“Hunt? Is that her last name? The woman who damaged my car is Liberty Hunt. What’s the name of your grandma’s lifesaver?”
“Serenity Hunt.”
“They must be sisters, judging by the name. I’ll drop the matter since she’s the sister of your grandma’s lifesaver. The money means nothing to me, but I’m the victim after all. I can’t be so generous as to let her off scot-free. She might knock onto another person’s car if this teaches her nothing.”
Aged thirty-five, Duncan Lewis was the fourth son of the Lewis family. Although he had not taken over the family business, Duncan made a name for himself and established Lewis & Co, managing multiple subsidiary businesses. Duncan was a self-made billionaire.
Duncan had a forthright and loyal character. He had walked the fine line between both sides of the law during his younger days. The scar on his face was a testimony to his rough past. Nevertheless, Duncan could not be bothered to go under the knife and get rid of the scar as he believed the terrifying scar added character.
“Since you want to teach her a lesson, you can claim from her if it’s not a lot. I hope you could give her a break on my nana’s sake and charge less.”
Ten thousand dollars were nothing in the eyes of wealthy men like Zachary and Duncan.
Even without a job and a source of income, Liberty could afford ten thousand dollars by borrowing around.
“It’s not a lot. Just ten thousand dollars. I’ll get her to pay half then. A few thousand bucks really bite for a housewife like her. I hope it’ll remind her to watch out on the road and not bump into other people’s cars.”
It was a good thing his car was parked by the side of the road. The life of an adorable child could be taken if she were caught between ongoing traffic.
