Chapter 320
---- Far from thanking Thalia for saving his father's life, he gave her a strange look and spoke in an odd tone. The man slightly lifted his chin, his expression arrogant and cold, even disdainful. "You're the one who brought my father to the hospital?" Thalia: "Yes." Her brow furrowed. Judging by the man's demeanor, she suspected...
Just as she expected, the man's next words were: "Did you push him down?" Thalia's expression immediately became telling-a look that said "of course, I knew it." A flash of mockery crossed her eyes as she coldly curled her lips and shook her head. "No. Your father fell on his own. Nobody pushed him." "Hmph, still denying it? My father is very healthy-he's over seventy but still does chores at home.
If you hadn't pushed him, why would he suddenly fall while walking down the street?" ---- Then the man uttered that classic line: "Ifyou didn't push him, why did you help him?" His expression was vicious. Hearing this, Thalia couldn't help but laugh bitterly. "The doctor said your father had a sudden cerebral hemorrhage. He's still in the ICU, but I don't see you concerned about him at all. Instead, you're only thinking about scamming people for money.
You're quite a son." "Stop with all this nonsense." The man held up three fingers. "Three million in medical expenses, plus nutrition and care fees." Thalia's lips curled into a cold smile as she coolly said two words: "Dream on." "You injured someone and you're still so self-righteous? Three million is actually low!" the man's wife interjected. "You should be grateful that my father-in-law survived. That's why we're only asking for three million.
If anything worse had happened to him, three million wouldn't be enough to settle it. You'd be going to jail!" "Jail? Fine, go ahead and call the police. Call them quickly, let ---- the police handle this." Thalia sat down on a nearby chair, completely unfazed. The man's eyes shifted. "If three million is too much, then two million will do." Thalia looked at him with amusement. "Wow, dropping it by a million just like that. How generous.noveldrama
Why not reduce it by half a million and ask for two-point-five? The number 'two-five' would suit you perfectly." The man became furious and shouted, "Who the hell do you think you're insulting?" Thalia smiled back, "I'm insulting you, obviously. Can't you tell?" "You bitch, you dare insult me!" The man lost his temper and charged forward to attack. Alana swiftly kicked him to the ground. The man hadn't expected a woman to possess such strength.
He clutched his stomach in pain as he struggled to his fect. "Honey, are you okay?" His wife rushed to help him. ---- "You dare hit my dad? I'll fight you!" The twenty-something-year-old man also charged forward yelling. Alana's eyes flashed with impatience. Her look seemed to say: How dare these low-lifes challenge me? When she was still an assassin, her targets were all formidable opponents who offered real challenges.
After switching careers to become a bodyguard for royal families, she had regularly faced off against assassins, engaging in exciting gunfights and hand-to-hand combat. But in all her time with Thalia, she'd faced nothing but fools-not a single worthy opponent. It had been ages since she'd had a proper fight. The young man charged at her, and Alana took him down with two moves, leaving him writhing on the ground in pain.
Seeing both her husband and son beaten, the woman grew angry and threatened, "How dare you assault people in broad daylight! Is there no law anymore? I'm calling the police to arrest you! If you pay for our medical expenses now, I'll let this go. If not, prepare for jail!" ---- Thalia looked at her with a bright smile. "Go ahead, call the police. Quickly." The woman gritted her teeth and took out her phone. "Don't say I didn't warn you!" Thalia remained smiling without a word.
Soon, the woman dialed 999 and reported to the police. The man shouted, "What are you doing? Why are you calling the police?" He was clearly panicking. Thalia watched the show from the sidelines.
