Chapter 1185
Upon arriving at the police station, the police questioned the old lady about the incident, and Vicky listened from the
side.
To her bewilderment, the middle-aged woman's account aligned perfectly with what the old lady described.
At this moment, Vicky could not find any evidence to prove her innocence, yet the testimonies of the eyewitnesses
and the old lady matched up.
The old lady's family members became even more arrogant. "Medical expenses, nutrition fees, nursing fees, and
compensation for emotional distress... You're paying us a total of fifteen thousand dollars, not a penny less!"
The police pondered for a moment and said to Vicky, "A compensation of fifteen thousand dollars is quite
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtsubstantial, but considering the old lady’s age, it's only right to offer some compensation. How about a settlement
of seven thousand five hundred dollars instead? We'll then consider the matter resolved."
Vicky could not even produce 50 dollars at the moment. The money she had left had all been spent on the old
lady's medical examination and treatment. Not only did her kindness go unacknowledged, but she was also forced
to compensate the old lady with 7500 dollars!
Vicky tensed. "I don't have the money."
This only angered the old lady’s family members. They pointed at Vicky and said, "If you don't compensate us
today, we'll follow you home and cause a scene at your place so that your neighbors see what kind of woman you
are! We're willing to accept a private settlement for compensation, seeing how young you are. If you play hardball,
be prepared to be detained!"
An older police officer pulled Vicky to the side and earnestly advised her, "Ms. Shaw, I understand that there may be
hidden factors in this case, but based on the evidence we currently have... Even if it goes to court, you won't win
and may end up having to compensate even more."
Vicky looked at the older police officer. "Do... Do you believe me?"
The older police officer nodded and sighed softly. "I've seen too many cases like this. One can tell this family is an
expert at scamming people. They only pick their targets around areas with damaged or uninstalled surveillance
cameras. Even if they’re exposed or discovered, they’re not afraid because the old lady is elderly, and no one
would hurt her. If you come across a situation like this in the future, make sure to record a video as evidence. In this
case... It's best to settle it peacefully. Otherwise, they might cause trouble at your home. Consider it as spending
money to learn a valuable lesson."
A few thousand dollars would not have been considered much to Vicky in the past, but given her current situation,
she was powerless as she could not even produce a single penny.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmVicky bowed. "I'm experiencing some difficulties lately. I'm afraid I won't be able to pay that much..."
"Can you reach out to your family and friends?"
All her family and friends were overseas, and it was at this moment that Vicky realized she had no one she could
reach out to for help.
Just as she fell into despair, a woman's voice rose in the air. "Ms. Shaw, why are you here?"
Vicky looked up and saw a familiar face. "Miss Jandrell?"
It was none other than the assistant of the mysterious man who helped Vicky when she was bullied by a few high-
born ladies in the past. Vicky did not know her full name and only knew that her surname was Jandrell.
The woman glanced around and asked in shock, "Ms. Shaw, how did you end up in the police station? Did something
happen?"
Since Vicky seemed to know this woman, the police officer proceeded to explain the situation.
