A lawyer?
What is a lawyer doing here?
James turned to me, lowering his voice and frowning, "Have you already hired a lawyer?"
"No," I shook my head.
I did want to find a lawyer, but only if I had the time!
James looked at me skeptically, clearly not believing my words.
For me, whether he believed me or not, it wasn't important anymore.
"Is Mr. James Brown here?"
After scanning the room, the lawyer's gaze settled on James.
After all, he was the only man in the room.
"Yes."
Perhaps a little scared of the lawyer, James let go of me and walked towards him.
First, Attorney Edward placed a business card on the floor, then handed a document to James.
"This is Mr. Micheal Hunter's lawsuit letter.
Since you scratched his car, he is demanding compensation from you.
Here are the documents from the insurance company and the proof from an overseas auto repair company.
If you can't pay the total of 1,807,654 within the deadline, Mr. Micheal has the right to hold you fully legally accountable."
1.8 million?
In a daze, I thought I had misheard.
In my life, I had never dealt with such a large sum of money.
It was a little shocking to say the least.
James was standing there, dazed and unable to regain his composure for a while.
After Lawyer Edward finished speaking, he left.
James took a glance at the documents in his hand, walked over and tossed them at me.
"All this mess is your fault, you can pay for it!
Damn it, what kind of car costs over a million merely because of a scratch and a small dent in the body, is it made of gold?!"
James sat on a chair aside, fiercely rubbing his own hair, looking extremely anxious.
I was utterly bewildered.
The document said that James Brown damaged his car, but what does it have to do with me?
"It's none of my business, I don't know."
I put the stuff on the table, with no intention to bear this burden.
This is ridiculous, 1.8 million, I couldn't repay it even if I work myself to death!
James sneered, turning to me and said: "The car you sat in that day belonged to this man.
Are you saying now that you don't know?
If it weren't for you, why would I be so frustrated to damage his car?
I won't pay a cent of this fee, deal with it yourself!"
"Damn it, James, you're not even human!"
I rarely swear.
Even when I'm extremely angry, I would only grumble in my heart.
But now, I couldn't help but lose control.
"I'm telling you, I'd rather divorce you and bear half of the debt, than pay it off together with you!"
If I had known I was marrying such a man, I should have been more cautious at the beginning.
James's gaze became gloomy, he flashed a creepy smile at me.
Looking at him like this, I always felt he was devising some wicked scheme.
Sure enough, as soon as he spoke, I felt utterly disgusted.
"Why don't you sleep with him again, let him off the responsibility.
After all, he doesn't seem to be short of money."
Aria nodded she agreement beside me. James's idea seemed to resonate well with her.
This mother and son pair were truly nauseating!
"James, are you even a man anymore?
How could you even utter such words!
You seem quite pleased with your cuckold status!
Just as I thought, a worthless man will always be twisted inside."
I replied coldly.
Perhaps I had struck a nerve, James lunged in and tried to slap me.
I had already suffered losses from him before, there was no way I was going to take another slap.
That would be pure stupidity.
No matter how proud a man is, there is always a vulnerable spot.
I never had any expectations of sexual happiness from James, without hesitation I launched a kick directly aiming for his vulnerable spot.
