Bye, My Irresistible Love

Chapter 692: Car Was Heavily Rear-Ended 

Helen‘s POV:

It was raining cats and dogs right before I got off work so I decided to leave the office late in order to avoid the traffic jams at rush hour in a raining day.

George had called me and said, "Wait for me at the law firm.I‘ll come and pick you up.It‘s not safe for you to drive in this heavy rain."

It would take forever for him to negotiate the heavy traffic to get here.

There were just a few people still at the law firm when I left.

As I drove away, I noticed that the rain had stopped and the darkness of the sky had given way to a little light as the clouds flittered away.I drove forward slowly and cautiously.

When the green light flashed, I turned left.I was now only two blocks away from home.

However, as soon as I turned my car onto the road with a few other cars, my car was heavily rear– ended.I slammed on the brake and almost hit the steering wheel because of the impact.

My head started buzzing Before I fully came to my senses, someone knocked on my car window.I looked out of the window and saw a tall man in a suit staring at my car, full of anger.I was angrier than him.I got off the car and ran to the back to see how badly the rear end of my car was hit.

The man was driving a Mercedes S–class car.He must be either very rich or very powerful.

A lady sat in the back seat of the car but did not step out.So I guessed the man standing in front of me was probably her driver.

Before I could say anything, the driver pointed at me arrogantly and questioned my driving ability.

"Can you even drive? You‘re lucky today.If I drove at my usual speed, I would have crushed your car to pieces by now." It was the first time that I‘d met such a rude and unreasonable person.

He had rammed into my car yet he was so insensitive.I quickly took photos and saved the evidence whilst making myself look fearless.

"What‘s wrong with my driving? There is a speed limit on this road.Didn‘t you know? And you were the one who caused the accident! So stop being so cocky!"

The driver probably didn‘t expect that I would be so tough.

He walked to the back seat, and exchanged a few words with the lady inside.She nodded and the driver came back.

"Well, we have something urgent to attend to, so we can‘t wait for the insurance company to come and deal with it.Let‘s settle this privately.How much do you want? Name your price."

The driver, clearly an upstart, raised his chin and looked at me contemptuously.I was annoyed by his attitude and replied harshly, "Sorry.I don‘t accept it.Whether your insurance pays me or you settle it with me privately, you have to admit that you were at fault and the least you can do is to give me a sincere apology.Who is the owner of this car? You or her? Why are you in such a hurry to leave the scene of the accident? Is there anything shady in the car?"

"Be polite! Don‘t cross your limits! Since you won‘t accept a private settlement, we have to take the insurance route.We have something very important to do and have to leave now.The insurance company will arrive soon."

The driver was impatient and prepared to go back inside the car.

"What? You‘re leaving? Do you expect me to wait for the insurance company here alone?"I‘d never seen such an arrogant person before.I had a gut feeling that he must have done something shady, so I was determined to stop him.Just then, George called me.

"Have you arrived home?"

"Not yet.I got rear–ended.We are dealing with it as we speak," I said calmly, while glaring at the driver frostily.

George‘s tone suddenly became anxious.

"Rear–ended? Are you okay? Where are you now? I‘ll come over right away!"

"I‘m fine.Don’t worry.I can handle it."

When I heard George‘s worried voice, my anger and impatience subsided and I calmed down considerably.

"Send me the location.I‘m coming there,"

George instructed in a serious tone.I could hear him driving.He must have been stuck in the traffic jam.

After hanging up the phone, I sent my location to George.

Then I noticed a policeman coming over.It must have been the driver who called someone to deal with the matter.

The policeman appeared amiable.

"Your cars are seriously affecting the normal flow of traffic on the road.Please move your cars away as soon as possible."

As he spoke, he asked the driver to move his car to the side.

To my chagrin, after the driver got into the car, he rolled down the window and greeted the policeman before stepping on the gas and driving off.

The lady in the back seat didn‘t show up and kept mum from beginning to end.

As the driver drove away, I caught a glance of the woman in the car.She was well maintained and elegant.

I was furious with them.

Not only had they left the discussion about the settlement mid stream, but they had the audacity to drive away so abruptly.

They had treated me with complete disrespect and arrogance.

I looked at the policeman who stayed back with me to wait for the insurance company.

"You just let them go off like that? I suspect that either the driver was driving drunk, or he was transporting something illegal in his car.He hit the back of my car on such a wide road, a and he wanted to settle it privately with me.It‘s obvious that he has something to hide."

The policeman promptly replied, very calmly, "No."

I didn‘t expect the policeman to be so partial to them.

But it wasn‘t so surprising though, because he had been called over by the driver.I didn’t say anything more and patiently waited for the insurance company to come.

The insurance company and George arrived within minutes of each other.

As soon as George got out of the car, he ran towards me.

He looked me up and down and asked worriedly, "Are you sure you were not injured? Any whiplash?"

"No.Are you disappointed?"

I was just kidding in the face of this crisis.

"Stop talking nonsense."

George flicked my forehead lightly, and his tense expression softened a little. After a thorough investigation, the insurance company determined that the other party was fully responsible.

Then my car was taken away by the insurance company.I sighed, "Fortunately, it was the other party who hit me.Otherwise, I would only be able to compensate for one of their lights even if I sold my car."

"Your safety is what matters most to me.Come on.Get in the car."

George opened the door and I sat in the passenger seat.

Then he closed the door for me, and took the driver‘s seat.We headed for home.

When the car passed the next intersection, I noticed the Mercedes that had rear–ended me parking at the corner.I didn‘t know if it was my imagination, but I felt that the woman sitting in the back seat had been staring intently at me
