Chapter 209 Total Transformation

Erin’s question made lan smile coldly. “Don’t worry, I won’t let these people off the hook. I’ll report them to the police and get them all

arrested.”

With just two simple sentences, he made his intentions clear, and only then did Erin breathe a sigh of relief. “I almost thought you didn’t

catch on-”

lan glanced at her from the side. “Miss Eastwood, you think too simply of me.”

“I can only blame it on your superior acting skills. I really thought you were one of those clueless rich guys.”

He snorted unamusedly and explained. “These people are driven by money. I gave them some money to appeal to them first, making them believe that they can make a good profit from the repair cost later. This way, they won’t have any ill intentions toward your BMW. Not everyone will choose to commit crimes when they can easily earn money through deception and avoid unnecessary trouble.”

Erin had to hand it to him. “That was handled well, Mr. Sloan. I was quite confused earlier.”

lan smiled charmingly. “A woman should have a man to protect her.”

The suggestive glance he cast her way instantly dispelled the slightly favorable impression he’d just managed to salvage in Erin’s eyes. He was clearly trying to seduce her with the way he looked at her.

Erin’s tone became laced with suspicion as she inquired, “Why did you stop by earlier? Were you also involved with their scheme with the

nails?”

She let her imagination run wild, suspecting that lan had staged the whole act to make himself look like the hero who saved the damsel in

distress.

Her remark caused lan to pull a long face, and he sounded very irritated as he retorted, “What do you mean by that? Are you doubting my motives for helping you? Miss Eastwood, I admit that you’re indeed beautiful and the type of woman that men would fall for at first sight.

But let me tell you, I don’t need to go to such lengths to please you.”

He then added, “Besides, the reason I stopped by the roadside earlier was that I was on a phone call. My wife, Yvette, called me to discuss

our divorce.”
