After Yvonne finished work, she noticed the huge dent in the car’s bumper but did not feel resentful toward Samuel. She simply said, "How could you be so careless?”
"Steven insisted on driving when I went to pick his family up. He accidentally banged the car," Samuel replied.
"Steven?" Yvonne’s brows immediately furrowed. She practically hated her cousin. He was a grown man of over twenty years, yet he did nothing but laze around and learn how to make idle boasts like his father. She never thought that he would actually get the car into a n accident.
"Let’s see how he deals with it once my mom finds out," Yvonne said.
They drove back home. Her parents, as well as her uncle's family, were all waiting on the ground floor. This scene confused even Samuel. They were not waiting for Yvonne, were they?
After they parked the car, Lydia and Godfrey were looking at the front bumper, soreness seeping into their bones. Bitterness and resentment welled in their hearts; this was a new car!
"Samuel Hannigan, give me the keys." Lydia walked toward Samuel and said coldly.
Samuel felt that it was strange, but he gave the keys to her anyway.
"Since you do not know how to appreciate what has been given to you, don't drive this car anymore," she said. "I don't care if it just sits here eating dust. Don’t even think about touching it."
Godfrey cast Samuel a frosty look and said, "Did you really think that you could do whatever you want now that Yvonne makes more money? Do you know how expensive it is to repair an Audi?"
Ferdinand and his family smothered smiles on their faces as they watched Samuel being reprimanded for this-especially Steven, who even looked pleased with the situation.
"Mom, what are you doing?" Yvonne was completely perplexed and lost about the circumstances.
Steven pointed at the dent in the car and said, "Can't you see that the car has been smashed? I already told you to not let him drive such a nice car. Now you know the consequences of not listening to me."
Yvonne was shocked. It was Steven who drove the car. How could he blame this on Samuel?
Then she suddenly understood everything when she observed the expressions of her uncle's family. Anger began to simmer in her.
"Mom, this car-" "Yvonne, if you say another word in his defense, I'll make you divorce him now," Lydia interrupted coldly.
Samuel tugged on Yvonne's hand, hinting that she did not need to explain anything for him.
Yvonne was so furious that she felt her head rimming on exploding. How could her uncle's family be so shameless? Even a dog had a better conscience when telling lies.
"Your man has no skill in driving, Cousin dear. It's dangerous to let him be your chauffeur. You'd better reconsider him," Steven said, smiling.
