Chapter 101 It’s My Fault
“Let’s call for the police then! As if I’ll be afraid of you! You’ll be a wimp for not calling!”
shouted the woman. Gianna’s expression darkened, but before she could make the call, a
gentle voice could be heard from behind her. “Gianna?”
Turning around, Gianna saw a man with a tall figure, wearing a knee-length trench coat
that was blown by the wind, and a warm gentle smile could be seen on his fair face.
“It’s really you!”
Surprised, Gianna replied, “Brian? It’s you!” Noticing a man near his Mommy, South
immediately got out of the car and stepped up in front of his Mommy while observing the
man before him.
This man seemed familiar, and the impression South had for him wasn’t a bad one either,
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtbut he just couldn’t seem to recall where they had met.
Though South had forgotten, Brian still remembered clearly. Gazing at South with
gentleness in his eyes, Brian said, “You’re here too! Do you still remember me?” Blinking
his eyes, South was obviously in a daze.
“You’ve forgotten? We’ve had a meal at his place,” reminded Gianna.
After giving some thought, South asked, “You’re the owner of the restaurant?” Brian
nodded and gave his little head a gentle rub. “You’ve got a good memory. How’s your
leg?” “It has gotten better since long ago,” said South. With a grin, Brian turned and
looked at the woman. “Why? Is this a set-up scam?” Taking a few steps toward Brian, the
woman said in an overbearing manner, “Who are you calling a scam? Do you know what
you’re saying? She was the one who was on the phone and crashed into our car!” Darting
a glance at the woman, he didn’t utter a word but gazed at the man who was squatting on
the floor. “Joe!” he called. Instantly, the man jumped to his feet and smiled awkwardly as
he walked toward them. “Mr. Mccarthy.” With the corner of his mouth curved up into a
smirk, Brian mocked, “Pretending you didn’t see me here?” Putting a flattering smile, Joe
denied it by saying, “Nope, I just saw you. Mr. Mccarthy, what brings you here?” Scanning
from one car to the other, Brian asked, “What seems to be the matter?” “I was in a rush,
so I cut in line, but I didn’t expect the car behind to crash into my car,” Joe replied.
“Whose fault?” Brian didn’t show any sign of bad temperament, but strangely, Joe
appeared like he was sweating with nervousness. “It’s… my fault,” Joe confessed and
turned to look at Gianna. “Sorry, my bad. How much do you need? I can pay you back.”
With that, he took out a pile of cash from his pocket. Shocked, the woman tugged on the
man’s sleeves and scolded, “Are you out of your mind? We are supposed to bring that
money back to my parents’ place!” Shoving off the woman’s hands, Joe turned to her and
said softly, “You don’t understand. Just don’t interfere!” Then, he passed the pile of cash
into Gianna’s hands. Gianna was certainly not the type that would take advantage of
someone. On the contrary, if one were nice to her, she would most certainly be as nice
too. Besides, she would much prefer to discuss it over, because it would be less

I share the fault, so let’s just keep it simple and get our own car fixed. Just go!” There was
a broad smile on Joe’s face. However, he didn’t go off as told. Instead, he turned to look at
Brian as though he was seeking his permission on whether he could leave.
“I guess that’s settled!” Brian announced. “Great! I’ll move my car right away!” said Joe as
he dragged the woman with a long face into the car. Seeing that, Gianna couldn’t help but
chuckle. “He seems very afraid of you.” “Well, he did owe me money.” Brian smiled. Upon
realizing the whole situation, Gianna said, “No wonder! Anyhow, thank you for your help. If
it weren’t for you, I think I would have wasted a lot of time here” “Don’t mention it. I’m
happy to help. If you’re in a rush, you can just go ahead!” “Alright. I’ll treat you to a meal
when you’re free!” “Sure thing!” said Brian as he turned and got back into his car. Then,
he dialed a number, The line was connected and the sound of Joe’s trembling voice could
be heard. “Mr. Mccarthy, I’m sorry. I really didn’t know she was your friend.”
