Chapter: 1785
The lady quickly said, “There you go. It's all set. Your car is lovely, and we've fitted a top-notch tire, typically priced over ten thousand. But for you, just nine thousand eight hundred.”
Raegan glanced at the tire, clearly cheap and probably not even worth a hundred. And they were asking for nine thousand eight hundred! This was obviously a scam! She said, “I don't need it. Please take it off."
The lady's attitude shifted immediately, and she said arrogantly, "We've already put it on. If we remove it now, it'll be considered used. Then who would buy it?"
Raegan stood her ground. "I never requested this service. You went ahead without my consent."
The lady was relentless, replying, "Wow, you look great behind the wheel of this fancy car. Is it really worth bargaining over this small amount? Fine! Let me make it easier for you. Eight thousand eight hundred. How does that sound?"
The lady had her scheme all figured out. She acquired the cheap tires for merely eighty dollars. It was shoddy and wouldn't last. She and her son roamed from place to place, avoiding any complains once the tire wore out.
Persisting, the lady said, "Come on, be sensible. The job's done.
Even if the police get involved, you'll end up paying. Why add to the hassle? Look at my son! He did all this work for you."
While talking, the lady nudged her son closer to Raegan. Her son, tall and muscular, stood over Raegan like a tower.
The lady subtly showed a QR code, whispering, "My son's a simple fellow. Please don't upset him. You seem a busy person. Just pay and move on."
It seemed like helpful words, but it was all about threats and intimidation.
Raegan asked coolly, “What if I choose not to pay?"
“Not to pay?" The lady's friendly facade disappeared, her voice becoming stern, "Well, if you don't pay, I can't be responsible for what my simple son might do..."
The tall man moved closer as instructed, his presence overwhelmingly clear. Saliva escaping his mouth, he muttered, “Pretty woman..." He extended his hand, trying to grope Raegan.
Raegan quickly dodged, evading his reach. In the commotion, her phone fell and the man picked it up immediately.
The lady acted swiftly, jumping into Raegan's car and grabbing the keys. She said boldly, "If you don't pay, you're not going anywhere today."
The man repeated his mumbling, “Pretty woman...”
Raegan approached the lady, attempting to get her car keys back.
But the lady reacted instantly, positioning herself in front of Raegan's vehicle, crying out and rolling on the ground. “She's hitting me! She's hitting me! She's going to kill me..."
Raegan was dumbfounded. Their performance was flawless, executed with ease. It dawned on Raegan that these two were professional scammers.
