Chapter 648 Twisting Things Around

"Okay, then. Let's go," Tom said with a nod.

Armed with raincoats and umbrellas, Tom and Miranda left the house.

The rain was pouring. Lightning flashed in the distance as the two headed toward Churron's city center.

…

Sherry and Cecilia were riding on an old bicycle with a sidecar attached. They were both drenched

from the rain. As the sky darkened, it became harder for them to see the road ahead.

Gritting her teeth, Sherry did her best to ride the bicycle home.

"Mom, why don't we stop and take shelter somewhere? We can wait out the rain before we head

home," Cecilia suggested.

"There's no shelter anywhere near us, Cece. Let's just get home as soon as we can," Sherry said.

"Alright, Mom. You should rest. I'll take us home," Cecilia urged.

"It's fine. Just sit back there. I'm not tired," Sherry firmly declined. She didn't want to let Cecilia ride in

her place as she knew how hard it was to ride a bicycle under such weather conditions.

All of a sudden, there was a flash of light in the distance, and a Maybach came charging toward them.

When the women saw the Maybach, it was only a few feet away from them.

Sherry swiftly tried to veer the bicycle to the right, but the Maybach came rushing at them anyway.

"Arghhh!"

Sherry and Cecilia screamed in panic. The Maybach was going too fast. They couldn't avoid it.

There was a loud crash as the Maybach slammed into the bicycle.

Sherry and Cecilia were sent flying off the bicycle. They shrieked as they hit the ground.

Even though the driver of the Maybach tried to slam the brakes, the road was too slippery, and the car

was going too fast. It couldn't be stopped in time.

When the Maybach finally stopped by the side of the road, a drunk young man came out, followed by

two equally drunk men.

All three of them studied the damage. The front of the car was dented, and one of the lights had

shattered.

The first man was infuriated, and his two friends swiftly started making comments.

"Look at the damage on your new car, Blake! It pains me to see it."

"That's right, Blake. Isn't it frustrating that a shabby bicycle did so much damage to your fancy

Maybach?"

"Fucking hell! I won't let this slide!" The owner of the Maybach marched up to Sherry and Cecilia.

He was Blake Jessop, the son of a real estate tycoon in Churron.

When Sherry saw Cecilia lying motionless on the ground, she bore through the pain she felt and

crawled over.

"Cece! Are you okay?" Sherry exclaimed.

"I'm fine, Mom. Don't worry. Are you hurt?" Cecilia asked as she gasped in pain.

"I'm alright. I'm just a little startled," Sherry assured as she helped Cecilia up.

As soon as they got up, they saw Blake and his lackeys coming over.

"Are you fucking blind? Why did you bang into my car?" Blake roared as he kicked Sherry in the

abdomen.

Sherry yelped as she fell to the ground.

"Mom!" Cecilia shouted.

"I think I sprained my waist." Sherry groaned in pain.

"How can you kick her? You didn't even bother to find out what happened!" Cecilia fumed.

"So what if I did? You ruined my new car! Why can't I teach you two a lesson, huh?" Blake growled.

He was furious that his new car had been damaged so severely when he had only driven it for a few

days.

"We stayed in our lane on the right. You're the one who drove on the wrong side and crashed into us!

Why are you twisting things around and accusing us of crashing into you?" Cecilia argued angrily.

"How dare you try to refute me? It's your fault for suddenly showing up on the road. Why would I bang

into you if you people weren't here?" Blake retorted.

Despite the rainstorm, Cecilia caught the stench of alcohol from the three men.

"You were driving under the influence, and you even drove above the speed limit! This isn't a motorway.

You've broken the law!" Cecilia snapped.

"So what if I was drinking, huh? So what if it's not a motorway? I can't stand beggars like you who live

in this area. You're ruining Churron's image!" Blake said scornfully.

"Hey, bitch. Do you know how much his Maybach is worth?" one of Blake's friends piped up.

"Yeah! You beggars probably can't even afford one of the tires!" the other chimed in.

"You're the one who crashed into us. I'm not going to argue with you. I'll let the authorities handle this!"

Cecilia said as she took her phone out to make the call.

Blake swiftly snatched her phone away and threw it onto the ground.

"You! How dare you?" Cecilia screamed in fury.

"So what if you call the authorities? I've got people in high places!" Blake smirked.

His indifference scared Cecilia a little.

She was still a high schooler, unexposed to the evils of society.

There was no way she and Sherry could pay for the Maybach.

"You ruined my favorite car! Pay up!" Blake demanded.

"How much… do you want us to pay?" Sherry asked fearfully.

"500 thousand dollars!" Blake declared.

"What did you say? 500 thousand dollars?" Sherry was dumbstruck.

She couldn't even afford to pay 50 thousand dollars, let alone 500 thousand dollars.

"That's right. My car's worth millions! It'll cost hundreds of thousands just to fix it up a little," Blake said.

"I… I don't have that kind of money," Sherry muttered.

"You think I don't know that? You're broke. I'm going to teach you a lesson first!" Blake fumed.

Upon hearing that, Blake's friends immediately marched up to Sherry and started hitting her.

Cecilia rushed forward to stop them. "Stop! Don't hit her! Stop it!"

One of the men swiftly slapped Cecilia, and she stumbled to the ground.

"Cece!" Sherry's heart broke at the sight of Cecilia getting slapped.

Alas, Blake's friends continued to kick Sherry, and she couldn't move at all.

"Mom!" Cecilia screamed. All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.

Her heart broke when she saw the men attacking Sherry. She wanted to defend Sherry, but she

couldn't do anything.

How could the two of them win a fight against three grown men?

Cecilia had no choice but to beg, "Please stop hitting her! You're going to kill her! Please stop…"
