Chapter 143 Encountering a Fraudster
Steadying myself, I turned and saw a young couple standing several feet away.
The man’s expression was fierce, while the woman appeared calmer and had a hand resting on her bulging stomach. Realizing belatedly that I might have collided with a pregnant lady, I quickly apologized. “I’m so sorry about that.”
This being a market, it was naturally jam-packed with people, and accidental collisions were not at all a rare occurrence. I had assumed that my apology would be sufficient to smooth things over with the couple, but I was sorely mistaken when the man continued to glare at me.
“What use do I have of your apology?” he spat. “My wife is pregnant! You need to take full responsibility if anything happens to her or the baby because of your carelessness!”
I frowned. That’s unnecessarily harsh…
“Excuse me, but I think you were the ones who knocked into me and not the other way round,” I point out as politely as I could. “And in any case, I’ve already apologized. What else do you want me to do?”
The man scoffed. “You’ve hurt my wife and my unborn child. I’m going to need more than just a pathetic ‘sorry’.”
I was about to rebuff him when Dominic intervened. Pulling me behind him, he stared the man down and asked in a cool voice, “What do you want then? Recompense?”
The man’s eyes lit up instantly. “Yeah, now we’re talking.”
It was then that realization dawned on me. We must’ve encountered a fraudster. He’s trying to scam us!
There were many onlookers, but none stepped out to speak against the man. It seemed that this was not the man’s first scam, nor would it be his last. Judging by the fearful looks of some of the locals, he was probably quite the scoundrel in town.
Knowing Dominic, I expected him to teach the man a harsh lesson. However, I was once again mistaken.
“How much do you want?” he asked.
I gaped slightly. Are you kidding me? Is he actually going to pay that guy? That’s just outrageous!
