Rick smiled and comforted Kendall by patting her head. He didn't make any further explanations.
After Charlotte's move, the other party no longer dared to act recklessly. At that moment, Avery stood up and cocked his hip. "Hey, have you finished discussing it yet? Do you want us to hand in our evidence and make a case out of it, or do you want to settle things our way?"
One of them was disgusting while the other was reasonable. The combination of Charlotte and Avery simply couldn't be beaten.
Within less than half an hour, the other party finally summoned up the courage to deal with this privately. At that point, it was Charlotte who got them to think about it carefully. In fact, submitting the evidence wouldn't be that big of a deal. At worst, he would be kept here while a case was made. Then, he'd just have to pay some compensation.
Of course, she was not short of money, so she did not want compensation. She only wanted him to goto jail.
At this time, the purpose of the 50,000 dollars only revealed the tip of the iceberg.
"We have a lot of money. It doesn't mean anything to us. It's only 50,000 dollars. We'd much rather see you in jail for three years." Charlotte blinked her eyes as she spoke, "You guys really don't want to think about it? You're getting three years worth of food and board for free."
Charlotte's playful tone made Shane couldn't help but laugh. He reached out to hold her in his arms and pointed between her eyebrows with his fingers. "Let's go back once you're done."
"Alright, Kendall, Rick, I'll leave this to you guys. It's not me who got hurt anyway."
Avery nodded with a smile and said, "You're right. We should let the person in question deal with it. I'm not the one who got hurt anyway."
The family members all wanted to cry, but no tears came.
It had nothing to do with them and they were leaving now. Why did they come here in the first place anyway? They kept twisting the truth and just left by saying "It wasn't me who got hurt." Did they have any shame?
However, the others only dared to think this internally. They didn't dare to say anything at all.
What a joke. If they dared to talk about this, that woman would bring out another recorder and sue them for slander. This whole day was a bad job. It was a waste of time to have come to the police station.
"Rick, how do you want to deal with it?" Kendall looked at the people around her. She felt that Rick was such a gentle person that he would not do anything cruel.
Rick's smile was soft and bright. He opened his mouth and said, "Kneel down and beg for my mercy. Originally, I didn't want to pursue this matter. But now, you may not be grateful to me even if I let you go. I might as well be the bad guy to the end then."
"Kneel!" The waiter exclaimed.
"As Rick said, we didn't intend to pursue this matter, but you put the blame on us before we said anything. You couldn't wait to pin the blame on Rick. I can't let that stand." Charlotte's eyes were filled with coldness.
After all, Rick was Rick. He was unable to give as good as he got like Charlotte could. After he said the word "kneel", he no longer wanted to say anything else.
The attitude of the waiter and his family members was not good. Kendall also did not expect that the usually gentle Rick would actually say such words. However, she found that the way Rick looked at the waiter was different from the way he looked at others...
There was an imperceptible trace of anger on his face.
It had not been there before.
"Lottie, why don't we just start a case. I'm hungry," Rick suddenly said.
Charlotte was a little surprised. She had thought that with Rick's personality, he would want to minimize this matter. She thought he would scare them a big, get some dignity back. She never expected he would be so ruthless this time.
"Wait, I'll kneel! It's my fault. It's, it's my fault!" The waiter suddenly shouted loudly.
Before the others could react, he knelt down in front of Rick.
Charlotte was shocked by his sudden action and her body trembled. Shane, who was beside her, pulled her into his arms and said, "Don't be afraid, it's okay."
Charlotte nodded at him and curiously looked at Rick.
Rick put his hands in his pockets and looked at the waiter coldly. "Just now, your family said that we bully people because we're rich. Can you tell me, if I didn't have money, what would you have done?"
"I, I just don't want to get into trouble..." The waiter said. This is from NôvelDrama.Org.
"Don't want to get into trouble?" Rick pointed to the people behind him and said, "You have called so many people here. What do you mean you don't want trouble?"
The waiter didn't know what to do at the moment. All he could think about was that he had already knelt down. What if these people went back on their word and took his family to court?
The more he thought about it, the more uneasy he felt.
Rick looked at him and sighed in extreme disappointment. "This is our country's new generation. This is the kind of child it produced. If I call you, a 20 something year-old person, would you respond?"
"You said that you are afraid of trouble, but you called so many people to come to the police station, saying that the rich bully the poor. In truth, do you really even see yourself as a human being? You're just a bunch of sheep. Didn't you kneel just because I asked you to?"
"What else can I do?" The waiter suddenly raised his head and looked at him fiercely.
"I have nothing to say to him anymore. Let's go." Rick looked up at the three people in front of him wearily.
Charlotte, Shane, and Avery, stood together. They made an impressive scene. They were so beautiful that they didn't fit in in this world. He felt that they didn't even belong in the same universe.
They were delicate, and he was tired. He was so tired.
Avery smiled and walked toward him. He put his arm around his shoulder. "You see, Rick is a person who cares about people. Shall we go somewhere else for a drink?"
"With my arm this way, I'm afraid I can only watch you drink." Rick was annoyed.
"You can drink soda if you want. Am I right, Mr. Fuller?"
Shane looked at Charlotte and asked for her opinion.
If it were any other day, Charlotte would already be very sleepy, but today... if she didn't find a place to process things for a while, no one would be able to sleep tonight. Charlotte nodded her head and said, "Lead the way."
Avery snapped his fingers and led them out.
Before she left, Charlotte turned around and looked at the waiter. He was being held by his family. The family was asking him if he was scared. They were criticizing him for just kneeling.
At worst, he would have just been sued. Even if they went bankrupt, they would still help him win.
Charlotte smiled and turned away.
However, the waiter stared at Charlotte's back for a long time and didn't move.
He didn't know what the man called Rick was thinking as he looked at him. But when Charlotte looked at him, it was like she was looking at an ant.
Her gaze was filled with so much disdain. It was like he was just a disposable toy to her. It was a mirror for her to look through to the world of mortals.
"I'm not satisfied..." He muttered in a low voice, but didn't know why he felt discomfited.
Outside the police station.
Charlotte pulled her clothes around her tighter. "Now that I think about it, I realized that he probably just wants to hold onto his job. Otherwise, he wouldn't have any reason to push the blame on the guest."
"He used the wrong method." Avery leaned over to look at her. "If he were to discuss this with Rick from the start, even if we were mad, we'd still comply with Rick and let him handle it."
"I'm not mad. By the time I arrived at the police station, they were already a bunch of people there." Charlotte's face was expressionless.
"That's why I think you did a good job." Avery immediately flattered Charlotte.
Charlotte rolled her eyes at him, but he laughed out loud and said, "Lottie, in my mind, you are Athena, you are a Muse..."
"Shut up."
The person who spoke was Shane.
If Charlotte had told him to shut up, he would have struggled a little, but since it was Shane, he let it go.
"That..."
Avery did not dare to speak, but there was one person who did.
Everyone's eyes fell on her.
