The Year I Was the Other Woman To Myself novel Chapter 209

Susan clenched her fists and charged at Penelope, looking ready to throw a punch.

If she wanted a fight, that would make things simple, Penelope thought, starting to roll up her sleeves. But Rebecca intercepted Susan, likely whispering something about Penelope's fighting skills, because Susan’s aggression immediately deflated.

"I-I'm not going to fight you. It's beneath me!"

Penelope narrowed her eyes. "Whether you fight or not is one thing, but you just hit my car. What are you going to do about that?"

Susan, however, was unfazed. "I have insurance. I can hit one of your cars, I can hit two. Even if I killed you, my policy would cover it!"

Penelope scoffed. "Fine. Let's both make some calls."

She called the police first, while Susan called her insurance company.

The traffic police and the insurance adjuster arrived quickly. After reviewing the footage from Penelope's dashcam, examining the scene, and learning that Susan had hit Penelope’s car just the day before, one of the officers looked thoughtful.

"This looks like it was intentional," he mused, turning to Penelope. "Do you two have a grudge?"

Penelope shrugged. "I don't have a problem with her, but she seems to hold some deep-seated hatred for me. She just said she wanted to run me over and kill me."

The police officer and the insurance adjuster exchanged a few words. Then, the officer called for backup.

"This isn't a simple traffic accident; it involves assault. I think you should both cooperate with a police investigation."

"What assault? This was a normal accident! I hit her by mistake!" Susan protested, sensing the situation was turning against her.

"Ms. Jones, our preliminary assessment suggests you intentionally crashed into the other vehicle. If the investigation confirms this, our company will not cover the damages," the adjuster stated calmly.

"You won't pay? Why not? I pay my premiums, you have to cover it!" Susan panicked.
