Reborn From Oblivion by Christia Muray

Chapter 766

No. 13's strikingly handsome face turned stone-cold in an instant. He gripped the wheelchair handles so tightly that his knuckles turned white with the strain.

"Who's this arrogant troublemaker?" he practically spat, simmering with barely- contained fury.

Detective Thompson jumped in, trying to calm him down. "Easy now. Let's not get worked up just yet. I'll explain it all to you."

No. 13 radiated authority as he spoke. "Ashley's always been the timid sort, avoiding conflict whenever possible. She'd never hit back unless she was seriously provoked. This sounds like the other guy started it, and Ashley was just defending herself. She's not guilty."

Detective Thompson couldn't help but chuckle. "Sounds like you've already got it all figured out, huh? We still need to hear the victim's side, don't we? He claims Ashley insulted him first, and he just gave as good as he got. But Ashley, feeling all high and mighty with her crew, had them beat him up?"

"Ashley's way with words is a bit reckless, don't you think? It's like she's asking for trouble, piling up charges like she's got something to prove."

No. 13's brow furrowed. "Was the victim Cameron?"

"Yep."

No. 13 suddenly broke into a smirk. "She should've done it ages ago."
