“Save the exhaustion. If you can't get along with my parents or my family, let it be. It's fine," Sergio replied in a flat tone.

Marnie glared at Sergio's unyielding expression, her frustration intensifying.

Marnie was only acquainted with Sabrina in the Blakely family. With Sabrina's upcoming departure and Sergio's words of not bothering to please his family, Sergio could have kicked her away anytime.

Sergio remained composed, seemingly unconcerned about the situation.

Upon reaching Marnie's house, Sergio parked the car by the roadside and stated, "I won't go upstairs. Have a good rest and think carefully about what I said."

Marnie snorted in irritation and exited the car.

Sergio turned the car around and headed to the company.

As he made a right turn at an intersection, a shadow of a figure flashed in front of him. Sergio reacted quickly, slamming his foot on the brakes.

The woman, still in shock, clutched her phone and fell to the ground.

When she was crossing the road, she dropped her phone. She had bent to pick it up.

However, she noticed a car approaching her before she could straighten back up. She froze like a deer caught in headlights. The car came to a screeching halt, and she was so stunned and frightened that she sat on the ground in shock.

Sergio swiftly unfastened his seat belt and got out of the car, frowning in concern. Observing the woman's pale face, he asked, “Did I hit you?"

The woman nodded her head blankly, momentarily dazed. Then, realizing what he was asking, she shook her head quickly.

"Did I hit you or not?" Sergio asked.

The woman stood up, tucking her phone back into her pocket, and gingerly covered her aching stomach. "No."

“Don't do such a dangerous thing again." Sergio gave the woman a stern glance before returning to his car and driving away.

"Shirley, you really scared me just now." Shirley's concerned classmate walked up to Shirley and held her arm. "Luckily, that man stopped his car in time, or he might have hit you."

Shirley's face was still a little pale, her hands trembling slightly.

"I was also scared."

"It doesn't matter if the phone broke. You don't have to risk your life over picking it up. You could have just let it go."
