Chapter 138
“That’s the car. A BMW, no less. Aaron gave it to me.” Maddie turned the camera towards the brand–new car she had just picked up. “Pretty stylish, huh? Haha, Aaron didn’t even blink when he bought it.”
The camera then focused on Aaron, and Maddie excitedly said, “Look at how handsome Aaron has become. Aaron, say hi
“Hey guys.” Aaron smiled and greeted, enjoying the envy and jealousy in the eyes of those watching through the screen. He stood a little straighter, his vanity immensely satisfied.
“Aaron is really something now How amazing.”
“Don’t forget about us when you’ve made it big. Can my good–for–nothing son hang around with you?”
Just then, a group of police officers walked in.
The dealership staff were startled. The manager hurried over, fear evident in his heart. “Officers, we’re all law–abiding citizens here. haven’t done anything wrong.”
The sudden appearance of the police had him rattled. He was thinking, could it be that browsing porn websites last night had been exposed?
Seeing the police, Maddie didn’t stop the video. Instead, she focused the camera on them, her face a picture of excitement at the unfolding drama.
“Who’s Aaron?” the lead officer asked.
Aaron was taken aback, not expecting the police would be asking for him, “Lam Aaron, officer. Is there something wrong?”
“Somebody has accused you of extortion, involving a sum of one hundred and fifty thousand dollars. Please come with us.
Silence fell over the scene.
Maddie was dumbfounded, as were the people watching through the phone.
After a moment, Aaron managed a weak smile and said, “Officer, there must be some mistake. Extortion?”
“We’ll clear it up at the station.”
“it’s not true, officer. There must be some misunderstanding, Surely someone is playing a prank. Can you tell me who reported it-*
“It was me.” A cool voice cut through the heated air. Flora slowly walked over.
She looked at Aaron’s astonished and shocked expression, and slowly smiled. “Aaron, you’ve been really stupid in this life.”
So stupid that he didn’t even understand the crime of extortion, and would boldly demand money from her
“Flora, you-” Aaron’s incredulous question was cut short as he hesitated.
He thought about the records of him asking Flora for money, and his face instantly turned pale.
“You set me up!” Aaron’s voice trembled.
The fluorescent light overhead shone in Flora’s eyes as she slowly grinned, her smile as deadly as a demon coming to claim a soul.
“Yes, Aaron. If I’m not mistaken, you came of age a few months ago.” Flora paused, her smile widening. And she said word by word. *Spend the rest of your life in prison.”
As Aaron was being led away by the police, he was still in a state of madness, his eyes red as if about to burst, his hands still in the position of grabbing Flora’s neck.
“Extortion! I was wondering how could a high schooler, who just came of age, make so much money. Just like his dead parents, no good at all.”
“He’s just a scumbag who grew up begging, won’t tum out to be anything good when he grows up. So disgusting, our town has one more person in jaill.”
All sorts of harsh words were said by the people through the phone.
Maddie felt humiliated and quickly hung up the video. Angry, she turned to leave, but a dealership employee stopped her.
“Ms. Maddie, please don’t forget to make your loan payments on time.”
“What loan?” Maddie’s expression darkened.
“Of course, the loan for the car. Mr. Aaron has already registered it with your ID, and you agreed.”
“I don’t want this car”
This car was worth over a million dollars, and she couldn’t pay it off even if she sold herself.
“You’ve already signed the agreement, and you can’t just not want it The employee still smiled, though less brightly then before.

“This is coercion! I don’t care. I won’t buy it. Take the car back. And you have to return the deposit my nephew paid you.”
“The contract clearly states that if the contract is unilaterally terminated, the deposit will not be refunded, and you will have to pay a compensation fee.”
“You heartless people, you-”
“Is Ms. Maddie present?”
Maddie was interrupted before she could finish her sentence. A woman in professional attire walked in from outside
It turned out to be the salesperson from the store they had visited earlier.
