In the morning when he went out, he had actually anticipated that he might get into an accident with the
state he was in. As expected, it really happened.
Pale in fright, Isabelle tightly clung onto John’s arm whereas John leaned against his seat and said
calmly, “It’s nothing serious.”
After a while, Isabelle looked up and stared at John. Then, she asked, “Are you okay? Are you hurt?”
When John unbuckled his seatbelt, Isabelle let him go too. At that moment, the driver of the car in front
had got out of the car. Therefore, John went over as well. Needless to say, he had to bear full
responsibility for this accident. Initially, the driver looked angry but he saw that John’s car cost far more
than his, and all his curses stuck to his throat. It was only after a while that he said, “It must cost a lot
for the repairs.”
John didn’t mind about the cost. “I’ll call the insurance company.” Fortunately, it was his off day so he
had quite some time on his hands. Accidents that didn’t involve any conflict in the responsibilities were
extremely easy to settle. They didn’t even need the traffic police to come over.
At this moment, John called the insurance company. However, the accident happened at a junction and
traffic began to build up. After ending the call, John pondered for a second before walking to the car
door. Then, he said to Isabelle, who was inside the car, “I need to settle things here and it’ll take a
while. Why don’t you make a move first?”

Isabelle had finally calmed down so she opened the door and got out of the car. “I’ll stay here too.
Anyway, I’m not in a rush. If I leave now, I’ll feel bad.”
Actually, she didn’t need to feel bad because she had nothing to do with this accident. Despite thinking
that, John didn’t say it out loud. Instead, he took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it. Then, he
stood at the side while looking at the distorted front of his car, slowly puffing the cigarette. After that, he
sent a message to Zack, asking him to drive over to give him a lift.
It wasn’t long before the insurance company arrived. They took pictures of the accident for evidence
and upon negotiation, the driver drove his car away to repair and evaluate the damages.
In fact, John’s car was still functionable but it didn’t look like it was in a good condition. Therefore, he
called a tow truck to tow his car to be repaired. Everything was settled relatively quickly and Zack and
the tow truck arrived at almost the same time. Spotting John’s car immediately, Zack was shocked and
quickly ran toward John. “What happened? How did you get into an accident?”
John pinched his brows while saying, “Just send us back first.” After that, he got into Zack’s car.
Isabelle followed him as well after a nod at Zack.
Honestly, Zack was surprised to see Isabelle. According to John’s itinerary in his possession, John
should have no plans for a business event today. Therefore, it was confusing that John and Isabelle
were together. However, Zack couldn’t ask that since Isabelle was here.
On the way back, he first drove Isabelle home. Then, he sent John back. The house door was shut,
meaning that Sophia wasn’t home. John then went inside the house with Zack right behind him. He
went straight to the fridge and took out a bottle of water, finishing it in a gulp.
Meanwhile, Zack stood in the living room and asked, “Why were you together with Isabelle? Do you
have any business events today?”
John flattened the emptied water bottle and threw it into the trash can. “No.”
Zack raised his eyebrows but John didn’t say anything else and just turned to go upstairs. While
walking up the stairs, John said, “When you leave, please shut the door for me.” He obviously didn’t
want to talk about it.
It was only after a while did Zack leave. Naturally, he thought that what had happened today was just a
minor collision and didn’t even cause any casualties. Therefore, it shouldn’t lead to any serious
consequences.
