Chapter 413 Collision Course

Finished

She couldn’t be bothered to get out of the car. Instead, Ellis rolled down the window, scanned the damage to both vehicles, then said flatly. “How much? I’ll pay you.”

“You think you can afford it?” The middle–aged man sneered, eyes flicking over her car with disdain.

“Even if I can’t, that’s what insurance is for,” Ellis replied, resisting the urge to roll her eyes.

Insurance was standard. Of course she had it.

The man’s gaze dropped to her face. Realization flickered in his eyes. She was pretty, Young, Alone. His tone changed, but not for the better.

“You drive a piece of junk and you can’t even pay attention on the road. Do you even know how much my car costs? Repairs need imported parts, Way out of your league, sweetheart.”

He leaned forward, a smug smirk tugging at his mouth.

“But I’ve got a better idea. A way you don’t have to pay a cent. Wanna hear it?”

Ellis glanced over, thinking she might be blocking someone. But then she saw it–Easton’s car.

The man retrieved a business card from his glovebox and extended it toward Ellis.

Easton snatched it out of his hand first.

“I have my assistant contact you,” he said coolly.

The man paled.

“.. we live in the same building,” he offered weakly. “No need to make a thing out of it. Just neighbors having a misunderstanding

so?” Easton flipped the card over, his tone light. Then where exactly do you live? Which unit?”

The man froze

“I’m sorry! My bad!” The man turned to Ellis, practically bowing. “Miss, I’m so sorry. I wasn’t thinking. Please forgive me.”

Ellis didn’t say a word. She knew exactly what was happening here.

People like that man only respected power. He didn’t apologize because he felt bad–he apologized because Easton scared him.

Sher

She closed the window and drove off without another glance.
