Chapter 283 Equal Responsibility

Book:A King Reborn in Shadows Published:2024-6-4

Three girls stepped out of a BMW 8 series. They were dressed beautifully and had decent looks, but their demeanor suggested they were from ordinary families and had been frightened by the recent car accident.
Virginia stood in front of them, her face pale. The Maserati behind them also came to a stop, and a tall woman with delicate makeup and carrying a Chanel bag got out.
She didn’t approach them but leaned against the car door with an impatient look in her eyes as she watched what was happening.
“Virginia, do you know them?” one of the girls asked as she stepped forward.
Virginia replied bitterly, “It’s this scumbag who ruined my reputation and caused Braiden to break up with me!”
“What?! How can someone be so shameless? Is he even a man if he bullies women like this?”
“He rode his motorcycle today and crashed into your BMW luxury car. He must compensate you!”
“Yes! He turned without looking at the road; it’s entirely his fault! It’s all on him for crashing into us blind like that on his motorcycle; make him pay!”
The three girls were Virginia’s friends, while the sophisticated woman behind her was a member of an exclusive car club in Niarak.
During Virginia’s honeymoon with Braiden, the three women went all out to flatter them and, with Virginia’s help, eventually joined the Swanson’s Group.
They also secured decent positions.
Just when they were riding high, Virginia unexpectedly got kicked out by Braiden.
Due to their association with her, they were also expelled from the company.
Upon inquiring, they found out that Flynn was the mastermind.
Seeing him today naturally stirred up resentment.
Virginia had it even worse.
After Braiden expelled her, he demanded all the money he had spent on her back.
The gifts she received needed to be reimbursed at their original prices. Luxury bags and cosmetics that had been used had to be replaced with new ones at her own expense.
As a result, not only did Virginia not get a single penny from Braiden, but she also ended up losing all her savings.
Restless and looking for opportunities, she wanted to attach herself to a wealthy man through a luxury car club.
However, the minimum requirement for membership in the luxury car club was owning a million-dollar luxury car.
She gritted her teeth, spent all her family savings, and borrowed 300, 000 to buy a BMW 8 Series worth 1. 07 million.
Today, she brought so many people with her just to show off to her friends, then treat them to dinner and use their connections to enter the luxury car club.
Little did she expect to run into Flynn again, making her extremely furious.
“The motorcycle didn’t yield while turning, but the BMW didn’t slow down at the intersection either. It has its share of responsibility!” Scarlet argued.
She was also speechless. She had been chatting with Flynn with a sentence here and there, and while making the turn, she didn’t check left and right and turned directly.
Fortunately, Flynn was there; otherwise, they might have ended up under the wheels.
Virginia, upon hearing this, paused, recalling the speed just now. Indeed, she didn’t slow down while turning, and the speed wasn’t low.
Even if the police were called, there was a chance they would be held equally responsible. Moreover, because of the high speed, she might bear 80% of the responsibility.
“Equal responsibility is fine! I’ll file a claim with the manufacturer now!” Virginia glared at Flynn with hatred and took out her phone.
Flynn said indifferently, “Let’s each take care of our own. I have something to do.”
He couldn’t stand seeing Virginia, especially since Rose had emphasized several times to return to the villa early in the evening.
Whether he could mend things with Madeline depended on today.
Flynn didn’t want to prove anything in front of Madeline, but if it could prevent the Kaur family from looking down on him, it would be a good thing.
At least it wouldn’t be so troublesome!
So, Flynn wanted to get back to the villa quickly to see why Rose wanted him to return early.
“Each take care of our own? You cheap person, thinking too highly of yourself! Mine is a luxury car; a single headlight could buy your broken motorcycle. How is it possible to handle things separately?”
Virginia’s face was filled with anger, clearly not wanting to deal with Flynn. She immediately called the BMW 4S store. Given that her car was a million-dollar luxury vehicle, judging by the extent of the damage, the repair cost would be at least several tens of thousands.
How expensive could Flynn’s motorcycle be? A few thousand dollars at most, and instead of spending tens of thousands on repairs, he could easily buy a new one for less than a hundred thousand.
Her new car had just been purchased, not yet registered, and the mandatory insurance hadn’t been paid. If they were both deemed equally responsible, the repair costs could be covered by Flynn!
For example, if her repair cost was a hundred thousand, and motorcycle repair needed twenty thousand, the total repair fee would be 120, 000. In the case of equal responsibility, each person would bear half, meaning Flynn would not only not have to pay Virginia a dime, but she would also get four thousand from him!
“Exactly! Each takes care of their own, isn’t Virginia at a huge loss? How much can a broken motorcycle be worth?”
“That’s right! Today, you fell into Virginia’s hands, and you still want her to let you off? What are you thinking?”
“This is karma for your nasty slandering of Virginia!”
Virginia’s friends chimed in, rallying behind her.
Hearing this, Flynn finally understood. These women were just like Scarlet in the beginning, thinking his motorcycle was only worth a few thousand dollars.
Who would have thought that a motorcycle could buy four BMW 8 Series?
Soon, the BMW 4S store assessed the damage, and due to Virginia’s high speed, the front was severely damaged, requiring 180, 000 for repairs.
“I don’t want to see your disgusting face for another moment. Quickly call and ask how much it costs to repair your broken motorcycle!”
Virginia looked at Flynn with disgust, recalling the ugly incident at the Pharma Congress, wishing she could stab Flynn to death.
Flynn was a bit impatient, saying, “Actually, I’d like to discuss this with you, but I have something to attend to today. I hope you can consider handling it separately.”
“If you insist on equal responsibility, we can tow both vehicles to the repair shop, let them fix it, and we can discuss compensation tomorrow when I have time.”
Upon hearing this, all of Virginia’s friends burst into laughter.
“See that? The moment he heard the assessment was 180, 000, he got anxious and is unwilling to spend more money. He wants to handle repairs separately!”
“Quickly make the call. I heard you’re the security team leader in a small company. You’ve probably wiped out half a year’s salary!”
“Dragging it to the repair shop and dealing with it tomorrow? Probably trying to avoid responsibility. Tomorrow, Virginia goes there, and you’ll likely avoid responsibility altogether. Just forget about the motorcycle; it’s not worth much anyway, right? Dream on!”
Flynn’s explanation, in the eyes of Virginia’s friends, became the reason he was unwilling to spend more money, and they mocked him to the fullest.
Virginia also looked disdainful, saying, “Flynn, today you fell into my hands and want to escape. Can’t afford to compensate me? It’s because you’re living off someone else, right?”
“Sure, you can apologize by slapping yourself, then clarify that the Pharma Congress incident was your nonsense. I might let you off!”
With her arms crossed, she firmly believed that Flynn was just a puppet of the War God, the security chief under Rose, unable to produce that much money in one go. Even if he could, it would deplete his savings.
Thinking of this, Virginia was very pleased, thinking that she had finally won a face-off with Flynn.
“Virginia, my brother-in-law is giving you a chance. Don’t be ungrateful. If he wasn’t in a hurry, you wouldn’t even have a place to cry!”
Scarlet, looking at Virginia’s arrogant demeanor, was very displeased.
She could tell that Flynn had urgent matters and didn’t want to get entangled with Virginia. The motorcycle was worth more than four million, and judging by the extent of the damage, repairs would cost at least a million.
If thoroughly investigated, not only would Flynn not have to compensate Virginia, but Virginia would also have to pay Flynn several hundred thousand.
“Cry? Is Flynn the jerk trying to hit me again?”
“Fine! If he touches me, I’ll extort him until he’s penniless! I’ll sue him to end up lonely in prison!”
Virginia, with a disdainful expression, sneered, “The bitch got into trouble riding her bike. Knowing that Flynn the jerk needs to pay up, feeling guilty, she actually helps him scare me! Equally despicable!”
Scarlet was furious upon hearing this, ready to confront her. However, Flynn stopped her and coldly said to Virginia, “Fine! Since you put it that way, let’s calculate it properly. I’ll get someone to assess the damages!”
Flynn didn’t want to argue further. He took out his phone, found a motorcycle dealership’s number online, and dialed it directly.
