Darren glanced at the damaged Ferrari before turning his attention back to Stanley.“Why are you acting as though your daughter's car is the only vehicle involved in this accident? Alicia's car was also damaged, yet we haven't demanded that your daughter pay for the repairs. We suggested that everyone repair their own vehicle, but your daughter refused.”Stanley followed Darren's gaze toward Alicia's car. He examined it for a few seconds before turning back with a mocking smile.“Is that supposed to be a car?”Darren frowned slightly but said nothing.Stanley walked around the damaged Ferrari and pointed at Alicia's vehicle.“Is it a Mercedes-Benz? A Lamborghini? A Ferrari? Perhaps a Rolls-Royce or a Bentley?” He paused and looked at Darren contemptuously. “I have mentioned some of the best car brands in the world, but that thing doesn't belong to any of them. And you want me to take it seriously?”He burst into laughter.“Look at the condition of my daughter's Ferrari and compare it

The arrival of the four people immediately attracted the attention of everyone at the scene.The crowd had expected Alicia to call a few local mechanics who would arrive in ordinary work clothes, inspect the damaged vehicle, and provide an estimate for the repairs. Instead, they were looking at three men dressed in expensive suits and a young woman whose appearance suggested she was an executive assistant.For several seconds, nobody spoke.The people exchanged confused looks, wondering what kind of mechanics would arrive dressed like businessmen. Even Stanley and Senoritha were surprised, although neither of them believed the newcomers could change anything about the situation.Before the four people could reach the damaged cars, Darren took Alicia's hand and walked toward them.The man leading the group was Felix, the CEO of Saki Motors. The young woman accompanying him was his assistant, while the other two men were lawyers representing the company.The moment Felix saw Alicia, hi

Stanley stared at Darren, his mouth opening and closing as he struggled to find the right words.The confidence he had displayed earlier was gone, replaced by a nervous expression that he could no longer hide.“Wait, young man. I think there has been a misunderstanding,” he said, forcing an awkward smile. “I was only joking earlier. I didn't really mean that you had to pay fifty thousand dollars for my daughter's car.”Darren looked at him without responding.Stanley wiped the sweat from his forehead before continuing. “How about this? I will give you back your fifty thousand dollars, and we can each handle the damage to our own cars. That seems like the fairest way to settle this matter, don't you think?”He looked at Darren expectantly, hoping the young man would accept his suggestion and allow him to escape the embarrassing situation.After all, he had only demanded fifty thousand dollars from Darren because he was certain the other party couldn't afford it. He had never imagined t

Darren looked down at Stanley, who was still kneeling before him."You said you were willing to do anything to settle this matter, correct?""Yes, yes!" Stanley replied hurriedly. "Whatever you want, I'll do it!"Darren nodded slightly. "Good. In that case, do you remember the bet you lost at Keystone Chambers?"Stanley's expression changed instantly.His lips parted, but no words came out. He knew exactly what Darren was talking about, and the memory made his stomach turn.How could he forget?That day, Darren had challenged him over his decision to revoke Walter’s license. Stanley had been so confident in his position that he had made a ridiculous promise. He had declared that if Darren could settle Walter’s debt, he would strip naked, walk all the way to his office, and resign from his position.At the time, Stanley had believed Darren would never be able to pay the debts. He had made the promise simply to humiliate the young man.But Darren had paid the money.And when the time ca

The taxi drove through several busy streets before gradually leaving the more developed parts of the city behind and entering the slums.Alicia sat beside Darren in the back seat, watching the familiar streets pass by. She hadn't visited this part of the city in a long time, and the sight of the rundown buildings brought back memories of the difficult circumstances some of her former classmates had faced.Eventually, the taxi entered a neighborhood where most of thehouses were poorly maintained.Some were built from wooden planks, while others had rusted metal sheets for roofs. Children played beside piles of rubbish, and groups of men stood around the corners, watching strangers pass through their neighborhood with suspicion.This was one of the poorest parts of the city, an area where many struggling families lived alongside people involved in various criminal activities.The taxi finally stopped in front of a small wooden house."Driver, please stop here," Alicia said.The driver b
