Upon hearing his greeting, she responded with a scoff, ridiculing him, “Oh, Mr. Hoffman, you do speak? I had assumed you were mute!"

Feeling the sting of humiliation more intensely, he finally snapped. "Miss Elin, though I admityny attitude M ve earlier was inappropriate, you did collide with my car. Don't you think it was only fair that you compensatedfor the damage?"
Silver Fox looked at Bumet, shocked, as if he were a monster. She hadn't expected this man to get upset while begging for her help. She barely mocked him, and he couldn't take it. But did he think about his own behavior when he was rude to a girl earlier?
She clenched her teeth and responded sharply, "Sure, compensating you for the car makes sense since I was a fault: But ten I million for emotional damages? Were you really that traumatized? Even if you were frightened, does that justify a ten-million-dollar compensation? Are you putting a diamond price tag on your feelings?"
