Ten Lucky Customers
A boy was seen scratching her car with a sharp object.
Nicole anxiously made her way forward, and the two children followed closely behind her. As soon as
she approached, she saw a long scrape on her car’s body. Oh my gosh! I’m so glad I spotted that in
time! If I had been a few minutes late, who knows what would’ve happened to my car?
“Hey, kiddo, what you’re doing is wrong!”
“I can do whatever I want.” The boy mischievously dragged his eyelids back with his fingers and stuck
his tongue out at her.
“Stop it right now!” Zayden walked over and grabbed the boy by his arm.
“What are you doing? Let go of me!” the latter roared at Zayden.
Alerted by her son’s cry, the mother came over. The woman glared at Zayden and asked, “What’s going
on?”
Seeing that Zayden was yanking her son’s arm forcefully and that Nicole and Joy were merely staring
at the side, she barked in displeasure, “What are you doing? Are you allowing your child to hit my
child? Is this how you educate your child? How ill-mannered!”
In a serious tone, Nicole explained, “Your son scratched my car. Zayden only grabbed his arm to stop
him. Since your child damaged my car, you should educate him properly and compensate me for it.”
When his mother saw the scratch on Nicole’s car, she retorted shamelessly, “My son didn’t do it on
purpose. Plus, you’re the one who parked your car at the wrong place! Otherwise, why did he choose
to scratch your car but not the others? This is your own fault and responsibility. You have no one but
yourself to blame!”
Immediately after saying so, she grabbed her child and walked away, all the while cursing under her
breath.
What the heck? What kind of attitude is that? She had the audacity to treat me that way after her son
scratched my car.
Nicole glared at the mother from behind. Even though she wanted to reason with her, she knew better
than to do so with an unreasonable person. How should I punish her and make it clear that her child
needs to be taught right while also avenging myself?
Nicole pondered for a moment before lowering her gaze to meet Joy’s.
With her big, round eyes widened, Joy gazed at her mother. “Mommy, this woman is horrible. I bet she
wouldn’t be acting the same if it was her car that was scratched.”
Her remark inspired Nicole. That’s right. She wouldn’t be thinking that way if it was her car. When then
happens, I bet she’ll freak out.
Glancing at the mark on her own car, she had a lightbulb moment and decided she had to teach that
mother a lesson.
Zayden, standing at the side, suggested, “Joy and I will get some stones and scratch that nasty
woman’s car!”
“Don’t do it, Zayden. You’re a good kid. You can’t do things like this.” Nicole leaned down and fixed her
gaze on Joy. Then, she whispered something in the latter’s ear.
Swiveling her eyes around, Joy giggled and replied, “I’m on it, Mommy.”
“Wait.” Nicole stopped her and approached a person who was handing out flyers.
“Miss, could you do me a favor, please? I’ll tip you for it,” she asked.
“What is it?”
“What you need to do is…”
“Just like that, and I’ll get the tip?” The lady looked at Nicole in disbelief.
The latter nodded. “Yes. Once the job is done, I’ll give you cash.”
The lady was silent for a while as she considered the offer. Since the purpose of her handing out flyers
was merely to kill time, she thought it would be better to make use of the time to make some extra
cash. Hence, she said with a nod, “All right, I’ll get to it now.”
In an instant, she walked up to the mother from earlier. Blocking her path, she began to strike up a
conversation with the latter.
“Ma’am, do you have a minute? Our mall is holding an event whereby we’ll pay for ten lucky customers.
Everything is on us. No matter how much money you spend today, we’ll pay for it, whether it is
thousands or tens of thousands.”
