Chapter 167

Two middle-aged men appeared to be arguing about the parking situation outside. The man who was

speaking sounded self- righteous and reluctant, even though he had hit the other man’s car.

Pearl found him somewhat familiar, and upon closer look, she realized it was Brandon, who had been

gone for a long time.

Brandon’s clothes were shabby, as if he had bought them from a street vendor. He had lost his

confidence and was now living as a regular citizen.

Pearl felt a pang of pity for him, but she didn’t dwell on it too much because she knew he had brought

this upon himself.

However, Brandon seemed to get an idea when he turned and spotted Pearl. He hurried over to her

and yelled while pointing in her direction, “She’s my wife! Tell him to ask for compensation from her

because I don’t have the money!”

In his mind, Pearl was somehow responsible for his current situation, so he thought it wouldn’t hurt to

get some money from

her.

The other man seemed to believe Brandon and approached Pearl.

“Are you his wife? He’s the one who damaged my car. I spent over 150 thousand dollars when I bought

it. Are you going to pay me?”

Pearl sneered and replied, “I have nothing to do with him. He should be the one compensating you.”

“You’re so unreasonable!”

The man knew that Brandon couldn’t afford to compensate him based on his current appearance, so

he decided to hassle Pearl in hopes of getting some money out of her.

“Ladies and gentlemen, her husband damaged my car, but she refuses to pay for the damages. This is

outrageous!” The victim dramatically sat on the ground, wailing for justice when he realized that Pearl

was unmoved.

As a result, a crowd gathered, with some people criticizing Pearl and others showing sympathy for the

supposed victim.

“Mister Brandon, you’ve become even more shameless after a few months.” Pearl couldn’t be bothered

to speak to the man on the floor and turned her attention to Brandon nearby.

Seeing that the situation was no longer his concern, Brandon wore a cunning grin. “Miss Pearl, I know

you’re known for helping people. How about helping me this time? I really don’t have the money.”

Suddenly, he caught sight of Richard in the car and fear engulfed him. But he managed to suppress it

and laughed. “Hey, Mister Richard, you’re here too. I’m glad to see you.”

Despite the troubles his family had faced, Brandon didn’t fear Richard’s wrath.

“I’ll give you a chance, Brandon. Set the record straight with that man, or you’ll face the

consequences.” Richard’s unease grew as he heard how Brandon had falsely framed Pearl. His icy

demeanor intensified when Brandon made things difficult for her.

“Do you really think I’ll listen to you, Mister Richard? I have nothing to lose now. I won’t be intimidated

by you, and you can’t threaten me.” Brandon leaned back and laughed.

“Well, don’t regret it.” Richard stepped out of the car and turned his attention to the man who was

crying and creating a scene. He asked in a cool tone, “You want money, don’t you?”

The man stopped crying “You’re giving me money?”

“I’ll give you 270 thousand dollars, but this man claimed that my girlfriend is his wife and caused us a

lot of trouble. Well… I’m sure you know what you should do, right?” Richard rarely smiled, but his smile

now sent shivers down the spine.

Being a sensible man, the victim chuckled at the opportunity to gain some money. He beamed at

Richard, exposing his yellowish teeth. “Sure, sir. Don’t worry. I’ll teach this man a good lesson!”

Knitting his brows, Richard returned to his car.
