My Substitute CEO Bride romance Capítulo 551

After each refinement, a Rejuvenation Pill was required to restore true energy.

A day passed quickly, and after a good night's sleep, Melody felt refreshed. Then, she went and picked up Hera from work as she usually did.

Melody had not driven her white Maserati for a long time. Getting into the driver's seat, she put on her sunglasses, started the engine, and released the handbrake before pressing the accelerator. The car shot forward.

Just as the car was out of the villa, she braked abruptly, and the car's rear swerved as she executed a perfect drift. She then immediately shot forward.

Suddenly, there was the sound of the emergency brake being engaged and a loud crash.

Melody had hit an old man who went flying backward like a kite with a broken string.

"Oh no!"

Melody's face went pale. She flung open the door hastily and went toward the old man.

"Ow…"

The old man looked disheveled with his gray hair and his black cloth shoes as he curled up on the ground, groaning and holding his knees.

Her face drained of color, Melody asked, "Are you... okay, sir?"

It had been too long since she last drove. Her skills were rusty, and she ended up hitting someone too!

Seeing the person responsible for the accident approaching him, the old man quickly sat up and clutched his slender legs. "I demand compensation..."

"Do you need help? Shall I take you to the hospital?" Melody inquired, squatting down.

She realized the old man seemed completely unharmed and wondered if he could be a martial artist. However, she did not sense any inner energy fluctuation either.

The old man glared at Melody with indignation and said, "I've got things to do. I don't need to go to the hospital. Just compensate me with a hundred grand or 80 grand!"

"You're quite up-to-date," Melody remarked helplessly, scanning the code with her phone.

The old man smirked. "Of course. I've been a professional scammer for over 20 years!"

Melody clenched her teeth, regretting not recording the conversation earlier. Oh well, a lesson learned!

After transferring the money, Melody drove away.

The old man dusted himself off after getting up and leisurely walked toward a group of middle-aged women dancing in the park. However, he abruptly stopped after a few steps.

He slowly looked up and saw another old man who had just completed a dance 200 meters away in the park.

The old man's expression gradually turned serious as he muttered to himself, "Are Mystique Loyalty Realm experts so common now? I just walked away from one and now there’s another here?"
