Chapter 5

作者: Golden Sakura
The moment I answered, Draven was already yelling.

“Elias. Did you do this on purpose? Are you getting back at me? What did you do to Yael’s car?”

Nobody woke up in the middle of the night in a good mood. I fired back.

“Draven, have you lost your mind? I never touched that car. If you think I sabotaged it, call the police. Stop blowing up my phone.”

Then I hung up.

After that, there was no chance I would fall asleep again.

I picked up my phone and saw that my messages had exploded.

  • The Garage He Couldn't Replace   Chapter 8

    Draven was finished.Someone uploaded the video from the shop to the internet.Once the full story behind my criminal record came to light, the truth spread like wildfire. It cleared my name more effectively than any public relations campaign ever could.The comments were overwhelmingly on my side. Some people blasted Draven for betraying the person who built his business. Others spoke up in my defense. Some even dug up the story of how Starry Auto refused to pay me the two point four million dollars in profit sharing that I rightfully earned.Another video, filmed by a customer at my shop, went viral as well.It started with Draven shouting, “He scammed me out of two point four million dollars.” Then it showed the officers arriving at my shop, reviewing the evidence, and proving I did nothing wrong. The two videos together played out like an entire drama series.Once public opinion turned, the reputation Draven tried so hard to destroy was completely restored.Those wealthy cus

    Just because they came from wealthy families did not mean they threw money away. If there was a chance to get their cars repaired properly for less, they were willing to take it.Two weeks after Brian Johnson dropped off his car, I restored it to perfect condition.Before long, my name spread through the local car community again. One owner after another came looking for me after their cars were ruined by Starry Auto.My shop was still going through its final renovations, yet my schedule was already booked through the following month.Even the construction foreman joked with me.“Mr. Charlton, your business is already booming before you even opened your doors. I worked in this field for years, and I never saw anything like it.”The scene across the street at Starry Auto could not have been more different. Joseph wrecked far more than the three luxury cars Gilbert told me about.As more angry owners came demanding answers, Draven drowned in lawsuits. The total amount being claime

    I frowned.“What do you mean?”Gilbert burst out laughing.“You really have not heard? After you left, Joseph took on several more high‑end custom jobs. So far, he wrecked three luxury cars. He bricked the ECU on a G63 while flashing new software, cracked the chassis on an R8 during a suspension upgrade, and tore apart the interior of a Maybach without being able to put it back together.“I do not want to imagine how much Draven paid. Everyone in the car community is talking about it. They are calling Starry Auto a graveyard for luxury cars now. Anyone who takes a car there is asking for trouble.”I could not help laughing too.Gilbert chatted with me for a while longer and told me to let him know when my new shop officially opened.“I will be there to celebrate,” he promised.I thanked him and hung up.I had just slipped my phone back into my pocket when someone walked through the front door.I looked up. It was Draven.He carried a bag full of food and a couple of expensiv

There is a part on Yael’s 935 that he cannot get installed. He got frustrated and started hammering it with a tool. The part is ruined.][That part is not available in the country. Mr. Jones pulled every string he had to order two more from Germaria. The air shipping alone cost over a hundred thousand dollars.][Joseph ruined another one. Everyone is working overtime now. Yael cares more about that car than

  • The Garage He Couldn't Replace   Chapter 4

    The man standing in front of me was Yael Lawson.He was the most notorious rich kid in town when it came to cars. Nobody spent more money or took bigger risks with custom builds than he did.His Porsche 935 was one of fewer than five in the entire country. He joined the waiting list six months earlier and insisted that I be the one to work on it.“Mr. Lawson, I am sorry,” I said. “I was fired. I cannot work on your car anymore.”“Fired?” Yael’s voice shot up. “Has the shop owner lost his mind? I waited six months. Six months. Now you are telling me you are not doing the build?” His shout drew everyone’s attention. Mechanics stopped what they were doing and looked over.Draven hurried out of his office with a smile on his face.“Mr. Lawson, what is going on? Why are you upset?”Yael pointed at me.“Mr. Jones, why was Mr. Charlton fired? We agreed six months ago that he would personally build my car. Now you are replacing him with an apprentice? What kind of joke is that?”Drave

  • The Garage He Couldn't Replace   Chapter 3

    I went back to the workshop to pack my things.As soon as my coworkers saw me clearing out my toolbox, they hurried over to ask what happened.I had always been the one in charge of the repair work, and I got along well with everyone in the shop. So, I told them exactly what Draven did. The entire workshop erupted with outrage.“That is unbelievable. Everyone knows this shop would not be here without you.”“Elias, we all saw how hard you worked for this place. If you were only here for the paycheck, nobody would have pushed themselves that hard.”“Just wait. He will regret this.”We were all working people. Everyone understood what it felt like to be taken advantage of. Still, they had jobs to keep, so there was not much they could do besides stand up for me.I thanked them for their support before calling Joseph Cooper over.“Joseph, do you want to come with me?”Joseph came from a poor family and dropped out of school early to earn a living. I always looked out for him. When
