"Nonsense, you’re obviously the one who hit me. He was looking at his phone when he rammed into me," the middle-aged woman pointed to Godfrey and said.
Godfrey had a guilty look and did not dare to say a single word.
Lydia said in a loud and entitled voice, "You're bullsh* tting! When did my man look at his cell phone? You're blind. You saw us driving an Audi and you thought we'd give you money if you fake an accident? Such people are so poor that they’re delusional."
The middle-aged woman looked at Lydia resentfully.
All she did was cross the road normally, but in addition to getting hit, she had to face that false allegation.
"I may be poor, but poor people still have integrity. I won't blackmail anyone. May lightning strike the liar," said the middle-aged woman.
Lydia was a little flustered when she heard the phrase 'may lightning strike the liar'. She knew they should not stay too long and said to Samuel, "Get this settled for me. If it ends up causing trouble to your dad, you don't need to go back home anymore."
Samuel’s heart was one that loved everyone who was connected to Yvonne. He could tolerate the bizarre temper and unreasonable trouble caused by Yvonne's
parents, but the matter at hand involved an innocent person. It was absolutely impossible for him to just let them go so easily.
After blocking Lydia and Godfrey, Samuel said with a gloomy expression, "We shall wait until the police arrive to settle this matter."
"Are you nuts, Samuel? You want to wait for the police to come? What did I tell you to do, you piece of trash? Now move the hell away," Lydia scolded.
"If you take him away now, it will be a hit and run case. The consequences of which will be more serious, " Samuel said.
"Samuel, do you not understand the reason I called you? Who else will bear this responsibility if it's not you? Now move aside right now," Lydia said in an unpleasant tone.
"Dad, do you think you can run away with this? If you dare to leave, you'll end up in jail," Samuel looked at Godfrey and said.
Godfrey lowered his head and was too guilty to speak. The incident was his responsibility, but Lydia suggested that Samuel should bear the consequences. She said that they could give the woman a bit of money after that so that the responsibility would not fall on him. However, Godfrey was aware that the consequences would be even more serious should that matter come to light.
"I told you to scram. Don't you understand human language?" Lydia raised her hand anxiously.
Just as she was about to slap him, Samuel suddenly held her wrist tightly.
"What are you doing?" Lydia asked Godfrey.
"Let's wait. If I leave, they'll investigate later on and the consequences will be more serious," Godfrey said.
"I’m doing it for your own good, Godfrey. I'll call Yvonne right away and we'll see if Samuel dares to refuse taking the responsibility on your behalf." Lydia took out the phone while speaking.
Unfortunately for her, the police had already arrived o n the scene before she could make the call. Under questioning, Godfrey-the driver-honestly explained the situation.
Lydia looked at Samuel being so kind to outsiders and gritted his teeth with hatred. That good-for-nothing was completely worthless. He did not even care about his father-in-law when this sort of situation happened, but instead, poured his attention onto an outsider. Did that woman's life or death matter more than Godfrey's safety? 2
"Samuel, don't go back to my house tonight. That is m y house. Go and sleep on the street," Lydia said to
Samuel.
Samuel turned his head and shot Lydia a cold look before saying faintly, "I'll move to a new home with Yvonne on the fifteenth of next month. I won't force you to live with me."
