What Separates Me and You

Chapter 258 Distinguished and Haughty

The loud screeching sound of the brakes being applied made Josephine’s scalp go numb. Thankfully, the car narrowly brushed past her. Her knees went weak immediately before she collapsed to the ground.

A moment later, the car door was opened before a man got out of the car and stomped toward Josephine angrily. Then, he started screaming at her.

“Are you trying to die? If that’s what you fucking want, don’t fucking die here! Why the fuck would you try to con me in the middle of the road? You fucking deserve to get run over, idiot!”

Josephine could only sit on the ground helplessly, finally feeling waves of pain flaring from her knees while listening to Rufus shouting at her.

Just now, the car hood had bumped into one of her knees.

Josephine looked up at the furious man, noting his heavy-set appearance and balding head. He looked extraordinarily unfriendly and fearsome.

The driver, Rufus, became angrier when he realized Josephine didn’t say anything. “Why the fuck are you still sitting on the ground? Are you trying to con me? Well, you can forget about it! I won’t spare idiots like you even a penny, you hear? Fuck off!”

Poor Josephine looked down at her lap before she attempted to get up while trying to tolerate. the pain. The pain was too much for her to handle; intense pain would start flaring every time she tried to move even an inch.

“Ho! Are you trying to con me for real? I got a dashcam installed in my car, so it’s useless for you to sit here!”

Many cars which happened to pass by the area slowed down to a stop. Everyone watched the scene unfold before their eyes, clearly enjoying it. Some of them did attempt to appease Rufus.

“I think that lady is really hurt. Maybe you should take her to the hospital.”

Rufus didn’t hesitate to retort. “As if I’ll do that! Can’t you see that she’s trying to con me? This didn’t happen to you, so you’re able to spout all those righteous bullshit in my face! I’d like to see you do the same after getting conned!”

Once that man started cursing at everyone else, no one dared to speak up for Josephine.

However, a kind person still went forward and asked Josephine, “Are you alright, miss?”

She hung her head while clutching her injured knee with her hands. Then, she shook her head mutely.

“Can you stand up?”

Josephine continued to shake her head. It was true that she couldn’t stand up right now. If she

could, she would have left a long time ago.
