hapter 56 I’m the Victim Here

If he hadn’t witnessed Olivia singlehandedly taking down those thugs with the precision and flair of a martial arts master, he might have believed her innocent act.

But the police? They hadn’t seen Olivia in action. All they saw was a petite girl, wearing oversized glasses, with an aura of meekness that screanied “model student” And sprawled around her were a group of burly. tattooed thugs with more muscles than common sense

“Uh… sure,” Lucas muttered, unsure how to respond.
