If we couldn't settle privately, her son would probably have a criminal record.
"Kari, why don't you say something? You're the one who loves Mason the most. Why don't you show any support?
At this moment, the boy's father stood up.
"If you can't compensate for all the losses in our family and cover the miscellaneous fees before my son enters his desired university, your child can expect to go to jail."
"Yes, he's already 18 years old and should take responsibility for his actions."
When the boy's family was demanding that Mason be put in jail, Scott and Emma finally panicked.
They looked at me with panicked eyes, indicating that I should pay the money and apologize.
The angry Mason had also calmed down at this point, looking at me hopefully.
In the eyes of everyone present, I collapsed and crouched down.
"Scott, Emma, it's not that I don't want to pay the money, I really don't have any money left."
I said, throwing my wallet on the ground and having my cards fly out.
I stuffed the cards into Emma's hand.
"Emma, this is all my savings, just 2,000 dollars. It was not much, but it's all I have," I said.
Scott and Emma looked at me in disbelief, and Emma rushed up and frantically shook my shoulders.
"You're so frugal; where is all your money? How could you possibly not have any money? Do you not want my son to do well at all?"
She was making more and more sense, and she slapped me across the face.
I could have dodged it, but I didn't.
I let the people who had been drawn over by the commotion take pictures and videos.
