Chapter 1183
âAre you okay, maâam?â âOuch, it hurtsâ¦â The old lady groaned while holding onto Vickyâs hand.
âYoung girl, I think you broke my bones.â
Vicky was taken aback. âMaâam, it wasnât me who bumped into youâ¦â
As soon as the old lady heard that, her expression changed, and she instantly raised her voice. âHelp!
Someone, come quickly! This girl knocked me down and refuses to admit it!â
As the crowd gathered, they started discussing the situation.
âThe younger generation these days is becoming more unruly!â
âLook at how badly she injured the old ladyâs kneesâ¦â
âYou canât get away with this, young lady. If you knock an old person down, you have to take
responsibility.â
Vicky, who grew up in a wealthy family and later studied abroad, had never encountered such a
situation before. At that time, she did not even know this was a whole scam.
She hurriedly explained, âI didnât bump into her. She fell on her own, and I just went to help herâ¦â
The old lady confidently interrupted her, âIf you didnât knock me down, why did you come forward to
assist me?â
âI was just-â
âYouâre trying to deny it after hitting me?â The old lady suddenly sat on the ground and wailed, âWhy, oh
why, are young people so indifferent these days? After knocking someone down, they still shirk
responsibility! Iâm already old, yet I have to suffer such cruelty! Iâd rather die⦠Let me dieâ¦â
Vicky looked at the old lady sitting on the ground, feeling somewhat at a loss. When she was in Molivia,
she also helped elderly people who accidentally fell, and they usually expressed gratitude. Hence, she
never encountered a situation where her kindness in helping someone would be used against her.
Onlookers chimed in.
âYoung lady, itâs not the time to argue about whoâs right or wrong. The old lady is injured now, so you
should quickly take her to the hospital for an examination.â
âYes, thatâs right. If the treatment is delayed due to your dispute, youâll bear an even greater
responsibility.â
âYou should take the old lady to the hospital now. Weâll report it to the police, and they can review the
surveillance footage later to reveal the truth.â
The old lady did indeed sustain some injuries, so Vicky had no choice but to take her to the hospital.
After arriving, the old lady complained of pain all over her body, leading to a comprehensive
examination.
Vicky had less than two thousand dollars left and spent it all on the medical fee.
In the end, the doctor diagnosed a sprained foot, which was hardly severe, but it would take three
months for her to walk again considering the old ladyâs age.
At that moment, the old ladyâs family arrived. After hearing about the old ladyâs situation, they
approached Vicky and said, âGive us fifteen thousand dollars, or weâll pursue this matter further!â
Vicky did not expect the old ladyâs family to be so unreasonable and was instantly enraged. âI didnât
bump into her. I simply helped her out of goodwill. Furthermore, I even paid for her medical
expensesâ¦â
The old lady was unreasonable, and her family was even more so.
One of the family members interrupted Vicky. âFifteen thousand dollars-not a penny less-or weâll follow
you forever!â Not bothered by all the eyes on them, the person continued to yell, âLook at this! This
woman bumped into my old lady and wonât take responsibility for it! How cruel!â
The crowd gathered once again and started pointing blame at Vicky.
âShe has such a pretty face yet has a merciless heart. What a waste.â
âJust look at how sheâs dressed. Iâm pretty sure she has the money⦠Why would she refuse to pay?â
âDonât you know? Rich people tend to be selfish.â
âLetâs take videos of her and upload them onto the internet to show others what rich people are like!â
Everyone started grabbing their phones and filming Vicky.
