“Still denying it? My father is in great shape. He is in his seventies and still does chores around the house. If you had not pushed him, how could he suddenly fall while walking down the street?”
Then he hit her with what he clearly thought was a classic line.
“If you did not push him, why would you help him up?” His expression twisted into something downright vicious.
Charlotte let out a short, incredulous laugh.
“The doctor said your father had a sudden cerebral hemorrhage. He is still lying in the ICU, and you have not sho nash concern for him. All you can think about is staging a fake accident. You really are a wonderful son.”
“Spare me the nonsense,” the man snapped, holding up three fingers. “Three million for medical bills, plus nutrition
Charlotte’s lips curved into a cold smile. Her reply was just two words. “Keep dreaming.”
“You hurt someone and still have the nerve to act righteous? Three million is already a bargain,” the woman beside him out in.” You should–be grateful my father–in–law pulled through. If he had not, three million would not even come close. You would be facing prison time.”
“Prison? Fine. Go ahead and call the police. Hurry up. Let them handle it.” Charlotte sat down on a nearby bench, completely
calm.
The man’s eyes shifted. “If you cannot manage three million, we can do two.”
Charlotte looked at him with amusement. “Oh, so you just knocked off a million like that. How generous. Why not make it one ninety–nine? You know, like those cheap store prices that match your class.”
The man’s face darkened. “What the hell is that supposed to mean?”
Charlotte smiled. “It means you are cheap. Obviously. Could you really not figure that out?”
“You bitch. How dare you insult me.” The man lunged at her, ready to swing.
Petra’s foot shot out, slamming into his midsection and sending him sprawling.
He had not expected a woman to hit that hard. Clutching his stomach, he groaned as he tried to get up.
“Honey, are you okay?” the woman rushed over to help him.
“You dare hit my dad? I will kill you!” the young man in his twenties shouted, charging forward.
Petra’s eyes flickered with boredom.
Her look seemed to say, “Seriously? Any lowlife thinks they can take me on?”
Back when she was an assassin, her targets had been formidable, skilled fighters who were worth the challenge. Later, when she switched to working as a bodyguard for royalty and dignitaries, she regularly faced assassins in gunfights and hand–to- hand combat, each encounter intense and exhilarating. She thrived on it.
But ever since she had started working for Charlotte, she had been dealing with nothing but idiots. Not a single worthy opponent in sight. It had been far too long since she had a proper fight.
The young man charged at her, and within seconds Petra had him on the ground, groaning in pain.
Seeing both her husband and son down, the woman was furious. She pointed at them and barked, “You dare attack people in broad daylight? Do you have any respect for the law? I am calling the police to have you arrested. If you are smart, you will pay our medical expenses and I will drop it. If not, get ready to spend time in jail.”
Charlotte’s smile was bright and unbothered. “Call them. Go ahead.”

The woman gritted her teeth and pulled out her phone. “Do not regret it.”
Charlotte just smiled without answering.
Moments later, the woman dialed 911.
“What are you doing? Why are you calling the police?” the man baked, panic creeping into his voice.
Now he was nervous.
Charlotte stood off to the side, watching the show.
