Chapter 1322: Chapter 1321: It’s Time to Teach You How to Be a Proper Person

So, after Charles Northwood’s car got scratched, the police showed up here very quickly.

The neighbors all crowded over there, pointing and gossiping nonstop, and that Aunt Zhou kept talking to the police.

"Ah, officer, don’t you think this is extortion? It’s just a tiny scratch, I accidentally made it, and he actually wants me to pay 10,000 USD." ℴℴ𝘮

That’s several months’ salary.

At the time she was just angry and scratched it, and besides, even if she got caught, it’s something you can settle with a hundred or two USD.

Why should it cost 10,000 USD?

This man looks so gentle and refined, like he’s well educated.

But in truth he’s fallen into the money pit, and who knows how he even got this car.

"Officer, just look at him, just because he has a car he thinks he’s someone. You should investigate him properly—maybe he’s also the sneaky, shady type."

Would a rich person really care about one little scratch?

While Aunt Zhou kept rambling on over there, the Jameson Family more or less saw the man’s true colors.

Tara Jameson looked at Charles Northwood with some worry, but from beginning to end Charles just stood there, unusually calm.

"Tara, things have blown up this much already, don’t keep tangling with it. The whole Village is about to know. Just let this Charles Northwood thing go."

It’s just a scratch—later they can send it to be fixed, whatever it costs, the two of them will pay.

Tara knew her parents cared about their face a bit, and hearing her mother say this, she nodded.

She gently tugged on Charles Northwood’s sleeve cuff.

Charles was taken aback, turned his head to look at Tara, his eyes carrying a hint of a smile.

"What is it?"

"Let’s just drop this."

Tara lowered her voice as she spoke.

Because her voice was so soft, Charles bent down, and their posture looked especially intimate.

Her parents in the Jameson Family were standing right behind the two of them, watching them like this, and sighed inwardly.

Now that this matter has spread like wildfire, if Tara and Charles don’t end up together, in the future it’ll be hard to explain things to her in-laws.

"How can we just drop it like that? Tara, you don’t need to worry about this."

Hearing him say that, she did feel Charles was being a bit relentless.

"Charles Northwood, just do it for my sake, okay? Look how many people are watching. How are my mom and dad supposed to hold their heads up in front of everyone after this?"

"Why do they need to hold their heads up?"

Charles smiled, reached out, and took her hand.

"Tara Jameson, back at School I taught you knowledge. Now I’m going to teach you about life. This matter has escalated to this point—if I just let it go, how do you think everyone will talk about it?"

Tara froze for a moment.

Maybe a lot of people would feel that the Jameson Family is the one in the wrong.

They actually opened their mouth and asked for 10,000 USD, and earlier they even lied that she didn’t have a boyfriend, which is why he came to the house.

If they had just said she was already seeing someone, that Aunt Zhou wouldn’t have come over this morning, and none of this would’ve happened.

But even if they won, then what?

Even if that Aunt Zhou ended up handing over 10,000 USD, would people’s gossip about their family sound any better?

Most likely they’d think their family was unforgiving when in the right, basically extorting, and that something was wrong with their character.

They’d have an even worse impression of Charles Northwood, and if the two of them really did get married in the future, the reputation he’d leave behind here wouldn’t be good either.

"Tara, some things you can yield on, and some things you must stand your ground on. But when you stand your ground, you always have to leave a bit of room."
