Brad, Miranda, and several security guards were escorted away, and Zoey, who hadn't really been involved, decided to go to the police station too, saying she was willing to testify for Sophia and her friends.

Sophia thanked her on behalf of Crystal and Eileen.

Zoey appeared guilt-ridden. "Sorry, I should have protected you guys better."

Sophia smiled reassuringly, "Just not joining in on bullying us is more than enough for us to be thankful."

Zoey looked even more embarrassed, "We're all classmates. I never expected things to get out of hand like this. If I'd known, I wouldn't have encouraged everyone to come looking for you. I just thought it would be nice for all of us to catch up after so many years." Sophia, not overthinking it, replied, "No worries. Once this is behind us, dinner's on me."

"Deal!" Zoey smiled. "You're not leaving B City anytime soon, right?"

"Doesn't look like it for now!"

"Great!"

Jason stepped forward with a slight frown, placing an arm around Sophia's shoulders, and said to Zoey, "If anything comes up at the station, give me a call. I'm Sophia's boyfriend, so I'll handle whatever comes next."

Zoey, noticing his possessive stance, understood and felt a slight pang of disappointment but managed a polite smile, "Alright, I'll go with them then!"
