Chapter 8

"Everyone, please take a seat!" Darren said, clapping his hands together and nodding calmly.

As the room quieted, an officer addressed Natalie. "Ms. Xavier, Mr. Luther here claims you intentionally injured him, resulting in a mild concussion."

They rolled a video showing Natalie smacking Darren on the head with her bag. The footage was clear, capturing both their faces..

Tony handed Natalie a concussion report.

It seemed they were well-prepared. On her way over, Natalie had pondered the trouble she might be in. But seeing Darren, it all clicked. No wonder he'd left the talent show early and hadn't returned-he was here, waiting for her.

She couldn't help but chuckle inwardly, then said, "Officers, I'm sorry for the trouble. I made a mistake, and I'm ready to own up to it, including the medical costs. I promise it won't happen again. Mr. Luther, I'm genuinely sorry. Can you find it in you to forgive me?"

The officers looked at her: a young woman, beautiful and articulate. She didn't seem like the type to cause trouble. But looks could be deceiving; many a brazen person had backed down in the face of authority.

"Alright, one officer said. "Since you admit fault and have a good attitude, would you both like to settle this privately?"

Natale smiled sweetly, "Settle? Absolutely! I'm all for it, Mr. Luther. What do you say?"

Darren smirked coldly at her eagerness. He'd thought her tough, but now she seemed to be pleading with him to let it go.

Darren signaled Tony to show the officers out, leaving just him and Natalie in the room. He looked at her with a chilling smile. "If you agree to leave Greton, I won't press charges."
