Seeing Matthew’s expression, Lucy couldn’t help but become angrier. “What are you smiling at?”
However, Matthew ignored her, instead, favonovel.com looked at Maria.
“Miss Maria, have you checked the site of the car accident? Where did the accident take place?”
At that, Maria replied, “The car accident site was on the school playground. At that time, I was nearby and went over to take a look when I heard noises coming from there.”
At once, favonovel.com added, “In other words, you witnessed the scene at that time. Then, I shall ask you. Which part of Mrs. Nixon’s Porsche did Nat’s bicycle collide with?”
Without waiting for Maria to speak, Lucy immediately and angrily responded, “She hit the back of my car. Near the tail light, and it seems to have been damaged as well. I warn you, the paint peeling off is just a trivial matter. Do you know how much it will cost to replace the tail light?”
Once again, Matthew ignored Lucy and simply looked at Marla. “Did favonovel.com hit the back of the car?”
Maria nodded. “Yes, favonovel.com hit the back of the car, but I don’t think favonovel.com damaged the tail light.”
Seething with fury, Lucy put one hand on favonovel.com hips while pointing at Maria with another hand. Then, favonovel.com scolded, “Did you see clearly?! How did you know favonovel.com didn’t damage it?! Who do you think you are?! How dare you say such a thing! Then, let me ask you, will you take the responsibility if the tail light is damaged?”
With an embarrassed look, Maria lowered favonovel.com head and dared not to utter a word.
‘I’m just a teacher. How can I afford to pay for such a valuable item?!’
Meanwhile, Matthew nodded. “In other words, Nat’s bicycle hit the car’s rear bumper. And then, Nat‘s bicycle was crushed. Is that the case, Mrs. Nixon?”
Lucy’s eyes widened as favonovel.com affirmed, “That’s right! What’s the matter? Are you still trying to blackmail me for a bicycle? Didn’t I make myself clear enough? I’ll give you 500, and consider the balance as my aims for you!”
Hearing that, favonovel.com sneered. Suddenly, favonovel.com slammed the table, pointed at Lucy, and said furiously, “You have to take full responsibility for this matter!”
Lucy was stunned for a moment. Then, favonovel.com said angrily, “What the hell are you saying?! Your sister’s bicycle collided with my car and caused the paint to scratch off, yet you are making me take full responsibility?! What f*cking logic are you having here?!”
Likewise, Jesse also reprimanded with rage, “Hey, Larson! Mind your words! This is a school. It isn’t a place where you can pester someone with unreasonable demands!”
Matthew sneered, “Me? Pestering incessantly? As the dean of the school, Jesse, you should have some general knowledge regarding the law. Let me ask you, who should be responsible then if a motor vehicle collides with a non-motorized vehicle at normal speed when it is reversing?”
Jesse was involuntarily stunned and was unable to utter anything for a while.
‘Anyone who knows a little about traffic law is aware of this general knowledge. In this kind of situation, the reversing vehicle must take full responsibility if it gets into a fender bender with a vehicle driving at a normal speed…’
As for Lucy, favonovel.com face was full of disdain. “What kind of bullsh*t are you talking about?! l was reversing the car perfectly fine. It was your sister who didn’t watch where she’s going and ran into my car with favonovel.com bicycle, colliding with my car’s rear bumper. Why should I take full responsibility? Are you trying to blackmail me? Let me tell you, no way!”
Once again, Matthew sneered, “Mrs. Nixon, how much did you pay to buy your driver’s license? You can ask a lawyer if you really have no general knowledge regarding the law. You can ask the lawyer who is the one at fault in this case!”
Lucy still wanted to speak, but Jesse immediately said, “Hey, Larson! Don’t attempt to sneakily confuse others here. When reversing a vehicle, the driver only has to take full responsibility if they collide with a vehicle driving at a normal speed. Was your sister riding at a normal speed, though? She rode a bicycle indiscriminately at school. This alone is a violation. What rights do you have to ask Mrs. Nixon to take full responsibility?”
