My Billionaire Mom novel Chapter 80

Yolanda reached out to check the lady’s body but she was smacked away as soon as she approached. Her hand even got all red and swollen with that smack.

"You’re not even a f*cking doctor. Why are you touching me?" The lady scolded in pain.

Yolanda frowned.

"Come on, what garbage plaza is this? You can make people trip over during their shopping. How would people want to come here for shopping? Don't come here, everyone. Maybe you will be the next one to fall!" The lady yelled from the floor.

"Exactly, there are a few places in the plaza that are undergoing construction at the moment, everywhere is like a mess, it's very dangerous for shoppers, in fact."

"I remember someone fell down last year too, and he broke one of his legs that time. I can’t believe they’re still not changing the safety measures after how serious that case was. See, someone fell down again today. Your boss is really too irresponsible. No matter what, I won't come again next time."

"Me too. I'm here to shop, not to be hospitalized. So I'm not coming anymore."

The onlookers were talking loudly, and many people declared that they didn’t want to come to the plaza anymore either. Yolanda was frowning, even more, this time around. She was going to call the police to sort this out since there were surveillance cameras installed all around. She couldn't allow the crowd to be here any longer.

"Call the police!" Yolanda said to the security guard who was standing by her side.

The security guard took out his phone that instant. And then the lady who was still sitting on the floor started to cry even louder. "This lousy place made me fall down, don’t come here anymore! Just don’t come here anymore..."

"Please stop this, madam. Everything is under surveillance." Yolanda’s tone was very cool.

"A lousy place with a rubbish boss!" The lady continued to yell and ignored what Yolanda just said. In a short while, more and more people were stopping by to watch.

Manny and the ladies came out of the bathroom.

"Look, what's the matter over there? Why are there so many people?" The woman in hot pants was puzzled.

"Something must have happened."

"Isn’t it normal since this place is so lousy?" The woman in tight jeans said disdainfully.

"Let's go and have a look."

"Yea let’s go, I also want to see what's going on."

The three women went over there.

"By the way, Manny, where is Zelda?"

"She just received a call from the restaurant and went out to talk."

"Oh, that’s great. If she’s on the call, let's go over and have a look."

The three women squeezed in through the crowd. Suddenly, the two women were stunned, even Manny was shocked too.

"Why is Zelda's boyfriend here?"

··············

"Listen to me, everybody. This plaza’s lousy facilities caused me to trip over, and then they’re forcing me to go to the hospital. I am supposed to be healthy and pain-free, but now my whole body hurts. Did I deserve this? Does that mean that this plaza is not going to take responsibility? This lousy place, it's rubbish." The lady was screaming in pain on the floor.

Yolanda was furious. "You want compensation, don't you?"

"What do you mean I want compensation? I was supposed to be healthy and pain-free but then your lousy facilities made my trip over. Do you see how mistreated and unlucky I have been? This is all the fault of your management. If you are wrong, then you should take responsibility! Compensation is a must!" The lady glared at Yolanda.

"Yeah, she fell down when she was walking here. It's the responsibility of the plaza’s management. It's your responsibility to send her to the hospital and pay her compensation."

"I also think it's necessary to compensate her."

The onlookers were chattering away once again.

"Oh, how much do you want the compensation to be?" Meanwhile, Chuck asked emotionlessly.

“My entire body is now in pain, and my bones are broken too. Thirty thousand. I want you to compensate me thirty thousand for my losses!” The lady said.

Yolanda was even getting angrier. How dare this woman tries to blackmail them!

"Thirty thousand dollars?" Chuck touched his nose.

"Yes, it can't be any less. I have to go to the hospital for a check-up too! My leg must be broken now. It hurts really really bad. This lousy place with horrible facilities made me fall down, absolute shit..." The lady yelled again. The crowd of onlookers was growing from what was happening.

"I think thirty thousand dollars is too little. Why don’t we pay you a little more?" Chuck said.

The lady who was still on the floor was stunned. The onlookers were also very surprised. What did he mean? Did he want to compensate more?

Yolanda glanced at Chuck and said, "Right, I'll bring some cash over."

Chuck nodded. "Get more please."

"No problem." Yolanda tried to squeeze her way out of the crowd.

The lady was getting suspicious. "You’re guilty now, aren't you? You want to compensate me with more money, right? Good, please remember that's what you said. My whole body is in pain and my legs are broken now. I think I’ll have to stay in the hospital for at least a month... so you should definitely pay me more!"
