Chapter 118 Someone Stopped Teresa's car
The driver then turned to look at Hubert in the back seat of the car. Seeing the cold look on Hubert's face, the driver turned his head and focused on driving. He carefully controlled the speed and slowly followed Teresa's car.
Suddenly, Steven thought of the most important question. Then he turned to ask Hubert, "Mr. Donovan, where are you staying tonight?"
Hubert had stayed back at Honor Land yesterday. Since they were now following Teresa, Steven wondered if Hubert was going back to Florence Garden.
Hubert remained silent.
After quite a while, he said, "Let's go back to Honor Land, but..."
He looked ahead at the familiar car.
He would return to his villa only after they had first silently escorted Teresa to drive back to Florence Garden.
Steven was a smart man, so he instantly guessed Hubert's intentions. Then, he told the driver in detail.
Teresa knew that there were cars following her in the back. And Watenll City was a big city. Even though it was late at night, there were a lot of cars driving on the main road. She didn't notice that Hubert's car was behind her. However, even if she had seen the luxury cars, she would not have known that they were Hubert's.
When she was about to drive to a traffic light intersection, she saw seven or eight young men standing on the side of the road. Suddenly, they rushed out toward Teresa. Then, Teresa immediately made an emergency stop.
The moment she was about to hit them, she stopped her car.
Teresa was so scared that she broke out in a cold sweat. After quite a while, she came back to her senses.
"Knock knock."
One of the young men tapped on her car window.
Teresa thought she had bumped into the man. She quickly rolled down the window and then saw her youngest cousin.
"Is that you?"
Teresa frowned as she said, "You want to die, don't you? Do you realize that if I didn't stop the car in time, and you came out like that... You've grown up. If you want to die, you'd better do it far away. Don't get my wheels dirty."
Her youngest cousin, Troy, was a teenager. He was at the age of rebellion and ignorance.
When her cousins came to her store together and talked to her about reconciliation, Troy was particularly arrogant in claiming that he would trash her store.
However, Troy stopped her car halfway with a group of young men about the same age as him. Were they trying to get her in trouble?
"Teresa, get out of the car! If you don't, I'll smash your car! Since you have money to buy a new car, why don't you pay for grandma's medical bills? Do you know how much we paid for grandma's hospitalization?"
Troy was young and reckless. And he didn't know much about what had happened in the past. All he knew was that Teresa never visited her grandmother in the hospital after she got sick and that she refused to pay for the medical bills.
His parents said that Teresa and her sister should have paid for her grandmother's medical bills. Since Leila had no money, Teresa did. And Teresa even bought a new car, which was worth tens of thousands of dollars. Although she had the money to buy a new car, she didn't want to pay for her grandmother's medical bills.
Tom and Tobia published a post accusing Teresa. However, Teresa was talking nonsense on the internet. And she let netizens who didn't even know the truth accuse them in turn. It made it difficult for Tom to do business. And Tobia was suspended from his job because of it.
His parents' and his brother's jobs were even affected.
Troy was furious. He tried to trash Teresa's bookstore that day, but his cousins stopped him.
In the past few days, he had heard his parents muttering about the need for money to pay for his grandmother's medical bills and complaining that it was costing a lot of money to treat her. And Troy thought it was all because Teresa was not paying the medical bills. Therefore, he approached his mates.
They were hanging around Teresa's bookstore during the day, so they memorized Teresa's license plate number.
Then, late at night, when there were few cars on the road, they waited for Teresa to pass by and planned to stop her car.
"I have nothing to do with her medical bills. Your parents said they didn't need us to take care of our grandmother or attend her funeral in the future when they got the settlement a long time ago. You had no memory at that time. If you don't know what happened back then, take a look at my posts. Or, you can ask your parents."
"But, your parents probably won't admit that your family has spent the compensation money that my parents exchanged their lives for. Otherwise, would you be able to live such a carefree life?"
Teresa retorted to Troy with an icy and cold expression.
"I don't care. Get out of the car. I'll count to three. If you don't, we're going to smash your car."
Troy looked arrogant because there were so many of them.
The rascals he brought with him had surrounded Teresa's car.
And there were cars coming slowly behind her.
Troy and his friends are young and aggressive. Normally, people did not dare to meddle in others' business, so they didn't give a damn about the cars that were coming slowly toward them.
When Troy stopped Teresa's car, the driver immediately slowed down. And he and Steven turned their heads to look at Hubert several times.
Hubert's face tensed up, but he remained silent.
The driver had to slow down.
Was Hubert going to wait until Teresa was in danger to save her?
Teresa saw that some of the men Troy had brought with him had iron bars in their hands. She believed they would really smash up her car.
She rummaged through the car and found an umbrella she had left in it. Then she squeezed the umbrella tightly and pushed the door open to get out of the car.
The moment she got out of the car, Troy grabbed an iron bar from his men. He then picked up the bar and was about to strike Teresa with it.
Teresa was prepared. She first blocked the iron bar with her umbrella. And she didn't stand still. Then she kicked Troy in the stomach and made him take a few steps back. Finally, Troy fell to the ground.
The iron bar fell to the ground.
Seeing this, the two young men standing next to Troy brandished the iron bar and swung it at Teresa.
However, Teresa quickly swept past them. Then, she turned around and swung her umbrella at their back shoulders.
Her umbrella was not as strong as the iron bar, but fortunately, she was strong. When she hit them like this, the two rascals suffered a lot of pain. The iron bars in their hands fell to the ground because of the pain, which also hit the foot of one of them.
Teresa took the opportunity to pick up the iron bar that Troy dropped on the ground.
Since she had practiced sparring, she swung the iron bar and knocked Troy's sidekicks to the ground. Eventually, the rascals were all lying on the ground, wailing.
Troy howled on the ground while still arrogantly shouting, "Teresa, I'm going to charge you with intentional injury. I'm going to have the police arrest you. And you'll have to pay for our medical bills."
Teresa stepped forward and stamped her foot on Troy's face. Then she looked down at Troy with a sneer and said, "I was defending myself. Sue me as you wish. Let's see who goes to jail in the end."
"Do you have proof that you acted in self-defense?"
Teresa released her foot and squatted down. Then she reached out and grabbed Troy's ear. "Troy, don't you even know about the dashcam? The arrogant words you just said to threaten me were recorded. Besides, you were the one who started the fight. Look, there is a surveillance camera there."
Troy felt speechless.
