Chapter 529
But it was clear who started it, as the dashcam had recorded everything.
Celeste’s damage to the scooter only cost around a thousand dollars, while the woman had to pay hundreds of thousands for the car repairs. It was a shame.
Celeste was fierce when smashing the scooter, but as soon as the incident was over, she got back in the car, removed her sunglasses, and her voice softened. She whispered to Liam, “Honey, don’t get the wrong idea. I’m not usually like this. People say I’m gentle and virtuous.”
Liam…
If he hadn’t seen her smashing the scooter with his own eyes, he might have believed her.
Celeste was never a pushover. She just liked to pretend to be one.
As she said, “When it comes to my husband, if anyone’s going to hit him, it’s going to be me.”
She’s always been very protective of her own people and possessions. There was one time, he was the one she protected, but now…
Liam stared intently at Celeste and Mason as they approached.
Celeste frowned, as the driver of the car behind them hadn’t moved an inch. Quite an attitude.
Mason knocked on the driver
s side window, which slowly rolled down.
There was Owen, smiling apologetically, ‘Mr. Fletcher, Mrs. Reed, what a coincidence.”
Celeste was speechless.
Mason was also taken aback, “Owen, it’s you?”
Owen got out of the car, “I was giving Mr. Reed a ride to his house, but I had trouble adjusting to the new car and hit the brakes too late. I’m really sorry.” He looked at the damage to Mason’s car and said with a guilty face, “This is quite bad. The taillights are cracked. I’ve contacted the insurance company, and they’ll be here soon. But it’ll definitely delay Mr. Fletcher’s plans.”
Celeste’s forehead vein twitched.
Owen was an excellent driver, and very experienced.
How could Liam’s assistant make such a rookie mistake?
Did Liam ask him to do this on purpose?
Celeste stared at the backseat window with a hostile expression.
Even though she couldn’t see inside clearly, she could feel Liam’s gaze.
Helping her opponents in a lawsuit was one thing, but now he’s hitting her car? What’s wrong with Liam after the divorce?
As she glared at the window, it rolled down.
Liam, dressed in a suit, was sitting in the backseat, barely glancing at her as he asked, “what is it, Owen?”
Owen replied. “Mr. Reed, it’s quite a coincidence. We hit Mr. Fletcher’s car, and Mrs. Reed…no, Ms. Campbell is with him. The damage looks pretty bad, the taillights are cracked.”
Liam frowned, “How long will it take to deal with this?”
“It might take about 20 to 30 minutes. It’s rush hour now, so the insurance company might be slow to arrive. Mr. Reed, do you want to call the old lady and tell her we’ll be a bit late?”
Liam pursed his lips, staying silent for a moment before saying. “Just tell them to hurry up.”
His annoyed expression made Celeste start to doubt herself.
Because as the window rolled down, Liam barely even looked at her
Just as Liam finished speaking, his phone rang
Liam’s phone was connected to the car’s Bluetooth, and when he answered the call, Mr. Robinson’s voice came through the speakers, “Mr. Reed, how much longer till you arrive?”
Liam replied, “There’s been a bit of an accident, might take about half an hour.”
“Is everything okay? Anyone hurt?”
“No worries.”
“Well, maybe you should consider hailing a cab to come over. The old lady here is getting pretty impatient, and it might get ugly if you don’t show
up soon.”
