Chapter 573
Skylar didn’t feel the need to waste her breath on Felicia.
If Felicia had admitted her mistake and offered to compensate from the start, they wouldn’t have had to involve the police.
Felicia was taken aback. “For such a minor accident, do we really need to bother the police? Just report it to your insurance company and cover my repair costs. It’s not that complicated.”
Felicia had heard that Annie had a hard time dealing with Skylar. Now, it seemed it wasn’t because Annie was incompetent but because Skylar wasn’t as naïve as she appeared.
She wasn’t easy to deal with. Felicia had indeed hit her car on
purpose.
After taking a photo with Joe at the bar, her family started paying more attention to her. Her parents encouraged her to keep going.
Learning about a potential obstacle, she felt the need to confront it head–on.
“You seem skilled at shifting the blame,” Skylar remarked in a cold, mocking tone.
Skylar wondered if there was no longer any bar to entry in the entertainment industry. It seemed like anyone could get in easily.
Felicia frowned. “What do you mean by that?”
A male fan of Felicia’s shouted at Skylar, “Did you purposely slam on the brakes just to cause an accident? You saw someone driving a luxury car and decided to take advantage?”
As soon as the guy spoke, many others joined in questioning
Skylar. If the Maserati owner hadn’t been Felicia but someone else, it wouldn’t have had the same effect.
Skylar wondered if fans nowadays follow celebrities blindly. She didn’t want to engage further.
Fortunately, this wasn’t a main road, so there was another lane for cars to pass through.
While Skylar was being criticized by the crowd, she called the police and waited for them to arrive.
Felicia noticed Skylar’s calm demeanor in the face of the crowd’s accusations and her lack of any sign of retreat. She couldn’t help but feel a chill. “Why aren’t you saying anything?”
“There’s nothing to say. We’ll wait for the police,” Skylar replied coldly. She glanced at Felicia.
Just then, Felicia received a call and told the person on the other end about the accident. It seemed her celebrity agent, Adele
Wilkinson, had given her some advice.
After hanging up, Felicia started taking selfies and snapping pictures of the damaged cars.
She immediately posted on Facebook. Celebrities needed to chase clout. If Felicia could capitalize on this clout today, her fame could rise another notch.
Skylar observed Felicia’s actions from the sidelines. She opened her Facebook and saw Felicia’s post.
Within minutes, the incident had started trending on Facebook.
It seemed likely that Felicia had paid for this clout. Otherwise, the incident would not have gone viral so quickly.
Today, Skylar was just unlucky enough to be a scapegoat for
3/4
Felicia’s fame.
“Never mind, I don’t need your compensation. I have an event to attend shortly and don’t have time to wait here. Besides, we’re blocking traffic,” Felicia said.
She adopted a very generous attitude after finishing her Facebook updates.
She tried to shift the blame onto Syklar with just a few words.
“Have you finished taking photos? Your Facebook post was very timely. Ms. Ingram, you’re used to being flattered in the
entertainment industry and believe everything should go your way. I saw your recent post. My car is in the photos as well. If things go as expected, your fans will probably start harassing me online.
“Ms. Ingram, you have two choices. One, clarify the facts and apologize on Facebook. Two, wait for my legal letter,” Skylar said calmly.
Skylar remained calm and composed, even when dealing with a celebrity. Her calm demeanor drew skepticism from the onlookers. They began to question Felicia’s actions.
“I feel like Felicia caused the rear–end collision.”
“There’s still a distance from the red light, and this isn’t an intersection. It’s unlikely she braked suddenly.”
Irritated, Felicia pursed her red lips. “Your actions caused the rear- end collision, so you’re fully at fault. I’ve only stated the facts on Facebook, so I don’t owe you an apology. Now, I have things to do, so I’m leaving.”
As Felicia attempted to leave, she was suddenly stopped by
someone.

4/4
Skylar had already saved the photos from Felicia’s Facebook, which saved her the trouble of taking additional evidence. Hence, she didn’t stop Felicia from leaving
Seeing that Paul was the one stopping Felicia, Skylar turned her attention to Joe, who had just stepped out of his car and was walking over.
