Matthew took a deep look at Jesse and said, "Mr. Knowler, you're brave enough to put your words in such a manner in an effort to please Mrs. Nixon. Don't you care even the slightest about your dignity?" Infuriated by Matthew's words, Jesse responded angrily, "What are you talking about? I'm simply being reasonable. How is this considering myself not caring about dignity? As for you, you're the one who attempts to reverse the truth and sneakily confuse others. Are you trying to fool us? Well then, let me tell you: you won't succeed with me around!" Matthew glanced at him disdainfully. "Mr. Knowler, you won't say such a thing if you truly are smart. You said so yourself just now that my sister rides a bicycle. Bicycles are nonmotorized vehicles. As long as the riders don't ride on the motor vehicle lane, they aren't against the law! Besides, the place where the accident took place was on the school playground. Is a playground a motor vehicle lane? Who do you think should be held responsible when a motor vehicle and a non-motorized vehicle are involved in a car accident on a school playground?"

At once, Matthew's words completely stunned Jesse.

He stayed stupefied in place and became speechless for quite a while.

Meanwhile, Maria's eyes lit up when she heard Matthew's words. With a face full of joy, she added, "That's right! N-Natalie shouldn't be held accountable for this matter at all! Mrs. Nixon, you should be the one compensating Natalie for her losses!"

Going ballistic, Lucy snapped at Maria. "Shut up! Who the f*ck do you think you are?! Do you even have the right to speak here?!"

Right after she said that, she glared at Matthew furiously and roared, "Don't you try to talk about who is to be held responsible with me! I'm telling you: I am the one who has the final say who is to be held accountable for this matter!"

Hearing that, Matthew sneered, "Mrs. Nixon, this world is ruled by law. Do you honestly think you can hoodwink the public?"

Immediately afterward, Lucy said loudly, "Of course I can hoodwink the public! Who do you think you are by still wishing to go against me? Do you know who I am? Let me tell you: my husband is the boss of this area, and his name is Randon Nixon. Do you know the Nixon Family in Eastcliff? Do you know the Nixon Family that was recently promoted to be one of the Ten Greatest Families of Eastcliff? That's my husband's family! If you go against me, it means you're up against the Nixon Family and the Ten Greatest Families of Eastcliff! How smart can you get to be brave enough to go against me?! Are you fed up with your life?"

Likewise, Jesse immediately came over and looked at Matthew disdainfully. "Hey, Larson! Your sophistry is good, but unfortunately, there are always some people in this world that you can't afford to offend! Hear my advice: pay up the money you needed to pay, kneel here, slap yourself ten times, and conscientiously apologize to Mrs. Nixon. If you do so, I can still help you to ask for forgiveness from Mrs. Nixon. Otherwise, I'll see what consequences you may face when Mr. Nixon comes!"

Lucy placed her hands on her hips. With an arrogant and proud demeanor, she looked at Matthew with disdain as if she was completely looking down upon him.

Meanwhile, Maria was a little panicked. She leaned over to Matthew and whispered, "Mr. Larson, h-how about you just apologize to her? Mrs. Nixon isn't someone we can easily mess with. Even our principal doesn't dare to offend her. I-It's not worth arguing with her over this trivial matter. Since Natalie still has to attend school in the future, why bother to get into difficulties with them?"

Glancing at Maria, Matthew thought she was rather a nice person. She knew that Mrs. Nixon isn't someone who she can easily mess with, yet she still protected Natalie with all her might. This alone was enough to impress me and look at her differently!

Smiling gently, Matthew waved his hand. "Don't worry, Miss Maria. I can handle this matter by myself. Besides, you're right. Nat still needs to attend school in the future. Anyone will dare to pick on her in the future if I don't take care of this matter now, will it not?"
