Helen waved her hand. “That person has been sent to the hospital anyway, so he’s probably fine now.Moreover, it’s not like we’re not going to pay for the medical fees. Why do you even care how the personis doing?”

Sasha was exasperated as her mother’s behavior was indeed outrageous. At this moment, Matthewwalked around the scene and approached her before speaking in a small voice, “It’s quite serious. I’mworried that the injured person’s life is at risk.”

Her expression changed drastically. “Really?”

He nodded as he had figured out the injured person’s condition after examining the scene.

A flustered Sasha took her mother’s arm and said, “Mom, the victim is severely injured now. He is atrisk of losing his life!”

Helen’s expression changed. “No way! It’s just a car crash. H-How could that person be seriouslyinjured?”

Minerva shot him a glare and snorted. “Matthew, stop trying to scare us with frightening words. How didyou have the gall to spout nonsense after just walking around the place? The victim is seriously injured?How serious is it? Tell me now! Do you think you’re a medical expert now after spending some money tobuy the department head’s position at the hospital?” Then, she spat.

Helen heaved a sigh of relief. “It was Matthew who said it? What does he know?”

Sasha answered anxiously, “Mom, what Matthew has said is true!”

Helen waved her hand. “Alright, cut the crap. Call the insurance company now. Tate, don’t worry. You’llbe fine.”

Tate nodded with a smile and shot Matthew a disdainful glance.

A short moment later, the police arrived at the scene. Some of the police officers started examining thescene and collecting the evidence while two of them approached Tate and interrogated him. When Tatewas asked who the driver was, he immediately pushed Joanna out. “It was my girlfriend. She was thedriver. She was driving slowly at that time, but that person broke the traffic rules and rushed across theroad. That was how she accidentally crashed into that person.”

One of the police shot him a glance. “Are you sure it was that person who broke the rules? The lanewhere the collision happened is for motorcycles and electric bikes. Judging from the electric bike’scondition, he was using the lane in an appropriate manner while you crashed into him from behind. Whowas the one who broke traffic rules here?”

Tate immediately hung his head low and muttered, “If we’re in a foreign country, he would’ve beenconsidered going the wrong way.”

The police refuted, “You’re talking about a foreign country. When in Rome, do as the Romans do. Youshould follow our traffic rules here!”

He rolled his eyes and stopped talking.

The police then turned to look at Joanna. “Please show us your driver’s license and related documents.”

After she fished out her driver’s license and other documents, the police took them and copied them on afile. Another police officer then approached his colleague and spoke in his ear.

The cop’s expression changed before he turned to look at Joanna solemnly. “Miss, I’ll ask you one moretime. Are you sure it was you who were driving the car?”

Although Joanna was flustered, she still nodded and replied in a trembling voice, “I-It was me.”

The police said coldly, “Miss, let me tell you something. It’s a breach of law as well if you take the fall forsomeone else. Moreover, the injured person is in the emergency room. He’s severely injured and hemight not even be out of the woods. If he passes away, you’ll be held responsible for crashing intosomeone and causing his death. This is no laughing matter!”

Her face had turned completely pale as she was utterly apprehensive.

Tate hurriedly added, “It’s just a car crash, so how serious can it be? We’ll just compensate him withmoney. Do you think we don’t have enough money to do that?”

As he spoke, he pulled Joanna’s clothes slightly to motion for her to rest assured.

In response, she dipped her head with difficulty.

The police shot Tate a glance and uttered, “You don’t have the final say in this case. Everything has to bedone according to the law. Also, we’ll get the surveillance footage from nearby places and ask around toreplace out who the real driver is!”
