Libby was driving a Lexus today. The 15-centimeter scratch on the front of the car and the cracked bumper would cost at least 10,000 dollars if she claimed for the loss on her insurance.
The three people grudgingly offered compensation and prepared to leave, but Scarlett called out, "Wait, there is one more thing." Scarlett was wearing an aqua chiffon dress today. Her skin was fair. Her appearance was good. Her voice was gentle. Though they were not happy, they couldn't say anything harsh.
Among them, the woman impatiently grunted, "We've compensated you for your loss and apologized. What else do you want?" Libby was satisfied with the result but knew that there should be a reason for Scarlett's action Therefore, she just silently looked at Scarlett.

With a smile, Scarlett pointed to the woman's phone and said, "Officers, this lady recorded and streamed the scene.
Streaming aside, as a party in the accident, | think | have the right to require the deletion of the video." She paused and continued, "Of course, she can refuse, but that means another trip to the police station. After all, we were filmed without permission. It's candid, don't you think?" Her speech reminded Libby of the most important thing. "Delete the video, or this won't be settled privately!" The woman reluctantly took out her phone and deleted the video in front of everyone.
Scarlett raised an eyebrow, saying, "I have no right to examine this lady's phone, and we'll take it that she has deleted it.
However, if the relevant video or picture appears online and affects us negatively, we will retain the right to pursue legal liability.” Scarlett held up her phone and continued," I've recorded my speech. The two police officers are witnesses.
Ma'am, if you're fine with it, please give us your consent.” At that point, the woman's face was more than livid.
"l agree!" Two simple words escaped the woman's gritted teeth.
The matter was finally settled.

Libby had to see Scarlett in a new light. " Scarlett, that was awesome. Thank you for your help today. I'd like to treat you to dinner..." Scarlett glanced at her, pointed to Alexis, who was in the car, and declined, "My friend is waiting, so I'll take a rain check. Drive safe." She then went back to her car.
Libby watched as the hem of Scarlett's dress was lifted by the wind. For the first time, she was not jealous of Scarlett's charm.
Apparently, Scarlett was beautiful, striking, and kind-hearted. She was so blind to deem Scarlett wicked before.
She was dead wrong.
