Chapter 254 A Matter of Price

• "At the same time, I demand compensation—twenty times the value of my phone! Officer, you must be my witness. Otherwise, I fear Hazel might try to back out."
• As Samantha addressed the police officer standing beside her, Hazel, still sprawled on the ground, turned to the officer with a pained expression. "You're the police! She's been hitting me, and you've done nothing to help me?"
• The officer responded, "Samantha was acting in self-defense. Moreover, she didn't initially intend to hit you. You provoked her first, so her actions were defensive, and we have no authority to intervene. Additionally, you didn't call for help, so there was no need for us to get involved."
