As soon as I arrived at the scene, the same horror that happened in unfolded in front of my eyes.
People in the crowd spotted me almost immediately.
She shouted, “That’s her! Officer, it’s her! She was driving like a maniac. She didn’t even try to slow down before she rammed straight into that family of three!”
“Yeah, and we banged on the window for ages! She finally came out of the driver’s seat with some guy. Both of them were half-naked. No one knows what they were doing in there.”
“Even after she got out of the car, she didn’t call for help from the police or ambulance or even check on the victims. Instead, she grabbed her phone and asked a livestream lawyer how many years she’d get if someone died. When the lawyer said seven years …. max, she laughed.”
“The worst part was that poor kid's head was completely severed from his body! However, this unhinged woman actually said, ‘Damn, that kid had a hard skull and cracked my windshield!’ "
Their words hit me like bullets. However, this time, I forced myself to stay calm.
In my previous life, this exact moment broke me. I lost my grip on reality, panicked and everything spiraled from there.
When a police noticed my appearance, they approached me and asked, "Are you the of the vehicle?”
After he got my affirmation, he said in a clipped serious voice, “Then please explain what happened. We need your full cooperation.”
I looked him in the eye and in serious tone answered, “I don’t know what happened because I wasn’t the one driving.”
That one sentence was all it took to arouse the crowd's outrage.
"Don't lie! Don't say it's not you. I saw the whole thing. It was you who got out of the car, don't think I don't recognize you just because you changed your clothes.”
“We have so many pairs of eyes watching, you still want to batter words. You are still remorseless about this.”
“Just because she’s rich and drives a fancy car, this kind of person thinks she’s above the law. I reckon she intentionally killed that family to vent her anger. She should be arrested and got the death penalty!”
Amid the chaos, Arnold arrived. His steps were hurried. He was visibly shaken by the accusations but he was still trying to defend me.
“You’ve got the wrong person,” he insisted. “My wife’s always been timid and she can’t even watch someone kill a chicken, let alone hurt a person on purpose!”
However, his defense only fueled their anger.
“You think we can’t recognize her? It wasn’t just her face, it was her voice too!”
Then a sharp-tongued auntie from the crowd turned to him with a sneer and asked, "Are you her husband? Then take a look at this video I recorded before you keep defending her.”
She held up her phone and played the recording after she said this.
Onscreen, after people banged harshly on the car windows, I slowly stepped out of the driver’s seat while arranging my clothes back into place and saying impatiently, "What are you doing? Do you realize how expensive my car is? Do you even have the money to compensate me if it gets damaged?"
Then I added, “So what if a few people died? It’s not a big deal. My family got a lot of money and my high price insurance can cover it.”
“That lowlifes shouldn’t have been in my way. Who told them to block the road? I think they got what they deserved.”
"They even ruined my car glass. I'm so unlucky."
After throwing a tantrum, I quickly wrapped my arms to the man who got out of the car with me and said, “Babe, we weren’t even enjoying ourselves just now, what do you think if we find some other place and pick up where we left off?"
The man in the video pinched my ass with a wicked grin on his face as he said, "Yo, little slut! Why are you playing hard to get? Is this your idea of fun?"
I laughed. “That was nothing. Didn’t you say you had something bigger I could play with?”
The video ended with me hopped into a taxi with a man amid the gasps of horror from the people around me.
Arnold's face turned crimson red with rage and he went crazy. His hand stuck hard at my face."Carol! Are you even a human?" he yelled. “How could you do something so shameless and twisted like that?"
