hapter 56 I’m the Victim Here

Watching Olivia’s perfect impersonation of a wronged and helpless victim, Lucas could only marvel. He’d give her a standing ovation if it weren’t so surreal.

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

It wasn’t a hard decision.

To the officers, it was obvious who the victim was.

“Are you alright, young lady?” one of the officers asked with genuine concern.

Olivia nodded timidly, her demeanor that of a frightened sparrow. “I’m fine, thanks to these two classmates. They saved me just in time.”

She gestured toward Lucas and Benjamin.

Lucas felt an awkward pang of embarrassment.

We saved her? Seriously? He exchanged a bewildered glance with Benjamin, who just looked resigned.

The officer nodded approvingly, glancing at the two boys. “Well done. It’s great to see young people stepping up. Just be careful in the future, alright? You don’t want to get hurt.”

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

Meanwhile, the thugs lying on the ground felt their world spin with injustice.
