The next time the naughty child's mother came to my door,it was the next day.
She seemed to have been persuaded by someone.This time,she came with a very sincere attitude.
"Little girl,I'm really sorry.My son accidentally broke your cosmetics.But isn't ten thousand dollars too much?"she asked tentatively.
The ten or twenty thousand dollars I mentioned yesterday became ten thousand dollars in her mouth.
She even wanted to make it a few thousand dollars.
I took out a piece of paper and handed it to her,"This is the list and prices of the items I had broken.The total is twenty-five thousand four hundred and eighty-seven dollars.Most of them were newly bought,so I can only round it down.You can just pay me twenty-five thousand dollars."
When she heard the figure of twenty-five thousand dollars,her face turned very ugly.
I had already expected that she might just leave directly.
But unexpectedly,she didn't leave as I thought.She didn't even shout for me to reduce the amount.
She accepted this price very calmly,but she only asked to see the surveillance footage to confirm whether it was her son who had broken the items.
This was quite reasonable.Although her son was a naughty child,there was always the possibility that I was framing him.
I led her and her son into the living room.Her mother started looking around again as soon as she came in.She awkwardly retracted her gaze when she saw me looking at her.
There were quite a few surveillance cameras at home.After all,I had a precious pet at home,and I had to keep track of her whereabouts at all times.
There was definitely a camera in the study.The camera there was to protect the valuable items at home,and it only captured half of her son's body.
Unfortunately,even with only half of his body shown,it was clear that it was her son.His movements of destroying my lipsticks were quite skillful.
For other children,in such a short time,they might not even be able to find the cap.
I had said he was an old hand at this.
"Here,this is all the surveillance footage."I pointed at the laptop and motioned for her to watch it herself.
She nodded and then asked,"Is this all the videos?You won't spread it around later,will you?"
"The videos are all here.There's no other place."I guessed that she might be afraid that if the video got out,it would ruin her son's image?
"Is this all of it?Then it's easy!"The naughty child's mother showed a smile.The next second,she raised my laptop high and smashed it on the ground.
The laptop couldn't withstand such a knock and immediately fell apart.
Her son immediately jumped up and stomped hard on the wreckage of my laptop.
At this moment,my laptop was completely black,and the circuit board inside was exposed.Many small parts were scattered on the ground.
"Hmph,I don't think you can threaten me anymore without the video!Twenty-five thousand dollars?I won't give you a single cent!"
The naughty child's mother showed a triumphant expression.She looked at me with mockery.
"Without the video,I don't see how you can ask for compensation!"
"Tom,let's go.Mom will take you to KFC!"
"Yeah,great!"Tom was extremely proud.The money his mother saved was enough for him to eat countless hamburgers!
The mother and son left my home triumphantly,and they didn't forget to slam the door shut.
I watched them leave calmly,took photos,and called the police.
