Upon arriving at the police station, the police questioned the old lady about the incident, and Vickylistened from the side.
To her bewilderment, the middle-aged woman’s account aligned perfectly with what the old ladydescribed.
At this moment, Vicky could not replace any evidence to prove her innocence, yet the testimonies of theeyewitnesses and the old lady matched up.
The old lady’s family members became even more arrogant. “Medical expenses, nutrition fees, nursingfees, and compensation for emotional distress… You’re paying us a total of fifteen thousand dollars,not a penny less!”
The police pondered for a moment and said to Vicky, “A compensation of fifteen thousand dollars isquite substantial, but considering the old lady’s age, it’s only right to offer some compensation. Howabout a settlement of seven thousand five hundred dollars instead? We’ll then consider the matterresolved.”
Vicky could not even produce 50 dollars at the moment. The money she had left had all been spent onthe old lady’s medical examination and treatment. Not only did her kindness go unacknowledged, butshe was also forced to compensate the old lady with 7500 dollars!
Vicky tensed. “I don’t have the money.”
This only angered the old lady’s family members. They pointed at Vicky and said, “If you don’tcompensate us today, we’ll follow you home and cause a scene at your place so that your neighbors
see what kind of woman you are! We’re willing to accept a private settlement for compensation, seeinghow young you are. If you play hardball, be prepared to be detained!”
An older police officer pulled Vicky to the side and earnestly advised her, “Ms. Shaw, I understand thatthere may be hidden factors in this case, but based on the evidence we currently have… Even if it goesto court, you won’t win and may end up having to compensate even more.”
Vicky looked at the older police officer. “Do… Do you believe me?”
The older police officer nodded and sighed softly. “I’ve seen too many cases like this. One can tell thisfamily is an expert at scamming people. They only pick their targets around areas with damaged oruninstalled surveillance cameras. Even if they’re exposed or discovered, they’re not afraid because theold lady is elderly, and no one would hurt her. If you come across a situation like this in the future, makesure to record a video as evidence. In this case… It’s best to settle it peacefully. Otherwise, they mightcause trouble at your home. Consider it as spending money to learn a valuable lesson.”
A few thousand dollars would not have been considered much to Vicky in the past, but given hercurrent situation, she was powerless as she could not even produce a single penny.
Vicky bowed. “I’m experiencing some difficulties lately. I’m afraid I won’t be able to pay that much…”
“Can you reach out to your family and friends?”
All her family and friends were overseas, and it was at this moment that Vicky realized she had no oneshe could reach out to for help.
Just as she fell into despair, a woman’s voice rose in the air. “Ms. Shaw, why are you here?”
Vicky looked up and saw a familiar face. “Miss Jandrell?”
It was none other than the assistant of the mysterious man who helped Vicky when she was bullied bya few high-born ladies in the past. Vicky did not know her full name and only knew that her surnamewas Jandrell.
The woman glanced around and asked in shock, “Ms. Shaw, how did you end up in the police station?Did something happen?”
Since Vicky seemed to know this woman, the police officer proceeded to explain the situation.
