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 savedjust 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.
Step up?

They wanted to yell, She’s the one who stepped up and stomped all over us!
The leader, clutching his stomach in pain, was especially bitter. If the cops hadn’t shown up, he was sure Olivia
would have snapped every finger he had.
But now, here she was, playing the innocent lamb while they were treated as villains. Unbelievable!
The officers, seeing the severity of the injuries, couldn’t help but scold Benjamin and Lucas.
“You boys showed great courage, but maybe ease up on the force next time. Look at the state of these guys!”
Lucas almost choked.
Ease up?! She did most of the damage!
The police then turned to Olivia, Benjamin, and Lucas.

Olivia, sitting primly in front of the officers, recounted her story with perfect composure. She described
how the thugs had cornered her, how Benjamin and Lucas had heroically swooped in to save the day, and
how she was ever so grateful.
She conveniently omitted her role in beating them into pulp.
“I don’t know these men,” Olivia said, her voice soft and trembling. “But they clearly cfor me. They knew
my name.”
This caught the officer’s attention. He turned to the thugs, fixing them with a stern glare.
“Someone hired you to target her?”
The thugs hesitated, then all their eyes turned toward their leader.
The leader opened his mouth to deny it, but then caught Olivia's gaze. Her lips curled into a sweet, innocent
smile, but her eyes flicked pointedly toward his fingers.
He shuddered.
“Yes, yes! Someone hired us!” he blurted, the fear palpable in his voice. “It was a guy | met at a bar. He gav us
money to break her hands.”
“Who?” the officer demanded.
“I... I don't know his real name,” the
