NovelEnglishChapter 101 It’s My Fault
“Let’s call for the police then! As if I’ll be afraid of you! You’ll be a wimp for not calling!”
shouted the woman. Camila’s expression darkened, but before she could make the call, a gentle voice
could be heard from behind her. “Camila?” Turning around, Camila saw a man with a tall figure,
wearing a knee-length trench coat that was blown by the wind, and a warm gentle smile could be seen
on his fair face. “It’s really you!” Surprised, Camila replied, “Brian? It’s you!”
Noticing a man near his Mommy, South immediately.got out of the car and stepped up in front of his
Mommy while observing the man before him. This man seemed familiar, and the impression South had
for him wasn’t a bad one either, but he just couldn’t seem to recall where they had met. Though South
had forgotten, Brian still remembered clearly. Gazing at South with gentleness in his eyes, Brian said,
“You’re here too! Do you still remember me?” Blinking his eyes, South was obviously in a daze. “You’ve

“You’re the owner of the restaurant?” Brian nodded and gave his little head a gentle rub. “You’ve got a
good memory. How’s your leg?” “It has gotten better since long ago,” said South. With a grin, Brian
turned and looked at the woman. “Why? Is this a set-up scam?”
Taking a few steps toward Brian, the woman said in an overbearing manner, “Who are you calling a
scam? Do you know what you’re saying? She was the one who was on the phone and crashed into our
car!” Darting a glance at the woman, he didn’t utter a word but gazed at the man who was squatting on
the floor. “Joe!” he called. Instantly, the man jumped to his feet and smiled awkwardly as he walked
toward them. “Mr. Mccarthy.” With the corner of his mouth curved up into a smirk, Brian mocked,
“Pretending you didn’t see me here?” Putting a flattering smile, Joe denied it by saying, “Nope, I just
saw you. Mr. Mccarthy, what brings you here?” Scanning from one car to the other, Brian asked, “What
seems to be the matter?”
“I was in a rush, so I cut in line, but I didn’t expect the car behind to crash into my car,”
Joe replied.
“Whose fault?”
Brian didn’t show any sign of bad temperament, but strangely, Joe appeared like he was sweating with
nervousness. “It’s… my fault,” Joe confessed and turned to look at Camila. “Sorry, my bad. How much
do you need? I can pay you back.” With that, he took out a pile of cash from his pocket. Shocked, the
woman tugged on the man’s sleeves and scolded, “Are you out of your mind? We are supposed to
bring that money back to my parents’ place!” Shoving off the woman’s hands, Joe turned to her and
said softly, “You don’t understand. Just don’t interfere!” Then, he passed the pile of cash into Camila’s
hands.
Camila was certainly not the type that would take advantage of someone. On the contrary, if one were
nice to her, she would most certainly be as nice too. Besides, she would much prefer to discuss it over,

with. You and I share the fault, so let’s just keep it simple and get our own car fixed. Just go!” There
was a broad smile on Joe’s face. However, he didn’t go off as told. Instead, he turned to look at Brian
as though he was seeking his permission on whether he could leave.
“I guess that’s settled!” Brian announced. “Great! I’ll move my car right away!” said Joe as he dragged
the woman with a long face into the car. Seeing that, Camila couldn’t help but chuckle. “He seems very
afraid of you.” “Well, he did owe me money.” Brian smiled.
Upon realizing the whole situation, Camila said, “No wonder! Anyhow, thank you for your help. If it
weren’t for you, I think I would have wasted a lot of time here.” “Don’t mention it. I’m happy to help. If
you’re in a rush, you can just go ahead!” “Alright. I’ll treat you to a meal when you’re free!” “Sure thing!”
said Brian as he turned and got back into his car.
Then, he dialed a number. The line was connected and the sound of Joe’s trembling voice could be
heard. “Mr. Mccarthy, I’m sorry. I really didn’t know she was your friend.”
