Chapter 1097 Collapsing To The Ground
“If this can be solved with just an apology from you, then why do we need the police?” The sharp voice continued to ring out in an unyielding and domineering tone.
Ashlyn could not help but turn her gaze toward the source of the conflict.
When she saw the figure in the pink fur coat, she immediately recognized her as the trendy girl from the elevator.
The girl's face was taut with tension as her fingers clutched a corner of her clothing that had been dirtied. Her expression was extremely unpleasant as she glared furiously at an old woman who was bowing her head in apology. The old woman's face was filled with guilt and confusion.
“Miss, I-I can help you wash your clothes.”
“Wash? How can your filthy hands touch my clothes? I have a date with my friend. How am I supposed to face her now?”
The girl was yelling in anger as her fury escalated the more she thought about it. The outfit she was wearing was far from cheap; it had cost her a whopping hundred and eighty thousand!
Furthermore, it was the latest model of the year, and she was wearing it for the first time that day. However, it got tainted by an extremely disgusting stain.
Unable to contain her anger, she raised her hand and pushed the old woman.
The old woman stumbled and fell to the ground, and the pain caused her to grimace involuntarily. She looked up at the fierce-looking girl and pleaded, “I'm sorry. I'll compensate you... Can I compensate you, please?”
Her eyesight was not great, and she had accidentally bumped into the girl while walking. The pastries she was holding ended up coming into contact with the girl's clothes.
She had earned the pastries by helping the young girl at the pastry counter sell them for two hours.
What's more, she had not even had the chance to indulge in them yet.
The more she thought about it, the sadder she became.
“Compensate? Can you even afford it?” The girl glared at the old lady with a fiery intensity. “Do you have any idea how expensive this outfit is? I'm telling you, even if you gave your life, it wouldn't be enough to cover the cost!”
Many bystanders were gathered around and watching the scene in shock.
Someone recognized her outfit and could not help but exclaim, “Oh my gosh, isn't that the latest limited edition coat designed by Ms. X from LX Corporation? I heard it costs a hundred and eighty thousand!”
When she heard the exorbitant amount of money, the old lady's face turned pale instantly, and beads of sweat started to form on her forehead.
Given her current situation, she simply could not afford to pay the girl.
If she had known something would happen, she would not have left home.
“Exactly, ma'am, I think you should just kneel and beg her for mercy! Given your situation... I doubt you can afford it.”
“Ma'am, you're not young anymore. Why didn't you walk more carefully?”
“We don't understand the world of the wealthy. Being poor, we must know our place! So, you've messed with someone you shouldn't have.”
Many onlookers also began to mock the elderly lady.
The old woman was both anxious and angry as she felt waves of dizziness washing over her. Suddenly, with a thud, she collapsed onto the ground hard.
The girl in pink gave her a kick. “Don't think I'll let you off just because you're pretending to faint!”
She pointed smugly to the space between her own legs. “If you can crawl through here today, I won't hold it against you. What do you say?”
The elderly woman lay pale-faced on the ground, her chest heaving with labored breaths. “Do you know who I am?” she gasped. “I am the President's mother, I...”
With a pleading look, she weakly implored those around her, “Is there a kind soul who could lend me a phone to make a call? I need to call the President...”
“Has this old woman truly lost her mind?”
“Is she delusional?”
“It seems like she is delusional indeed. She actually said she's the President's mother.”
“If she's the President's mother, wouldn't she be extremely prestigious and impressive?”
“Exactly! How could the President's mother possibly be here? And dressed in such tattered clothes, no less.”
Many of the onlooking customers were engaged in heated discussions. The old woman couldn't help but notice that each person's expressions and comments appeared more dreadful than the last.
She could not help but cover her ears with both hands. “Stop talking... Please, stop talking...”
She curled up in fear, shivering uncontrollably.
There are so many people! And so many voices! It’s so terrifying!
She was breathing heavily, almost unable to catch her breath.
However, the girl in pink looked down on her with disdain and condescendence. “Old woman, don't play the age card. You've dirtied my clothes, and I haven't even asked you to do anything yet! Why did you just collapse to the ground? Are you planning to feign illness and extort me?”
