BuzzNovelJust as expected, the police gave him a quick once-over.
“Did you bring your student ID?”
“Yeah, | did.” Zachary rummaged through his backpack and handed his student ID to the officer with both hands.
The officer glanced at it, exchanged a look with his partner, then nodded.
“Alright, | understand. I'll have someone pull the footage from the bus security cameras later. Now, do you want
to press charges, or try to settle this privately? If you want to file a report, you'll need to cdown to the
station and give your statements.”
He closed the ID and returned it to Zachary.
“We want to file a report,” Ethan and Zachary replied in unison.
Alessia had already wiped away her tears, though she still clung tightly to Cole’s hand. Queenie stood quietly
beside her, knowing this wasn’t the right moment to get involved-sometimes it was best to just watch from the
sidelines.
“File a report? Why bother? Just pay us scompensation and call it a day. Why make it complicated and waste
everyone's time? If you drag this out, you'll just end up paying more! | didn’t even ask you for extra fees since
you're just a student-you should be grateful. If you press charges, who knows how much more you'll have to

“So what? These days anyone with a pretty face ends up on TV. Who knows if he’s actually any good, or just all
talk? Besides, look at his suit-it’s just like my brother's. Must’ve cost a fortune.”
“But what if this really goes to court?” The woman glanced nervously from Ethan, standing tall and unyielding, to

“Go call my brother, now,” Chester muttered in her ear after a pause.
She nodded and slipped off to a corner, phone in hand.
“So, have you made up your mind?” Ethan asked coolly.
“Let's compromise-settle it privately. Just pay thirty, maybe fifty grand, and we'll forget the whole thing,”
Chester bellowed, as if raising his voice might win the
argument.
Ethan let out a cold laugh. “Thirty to fifty grand? What about you insulting my brother, twisting his good
intentions, or making my sister cry? How do you plan to compensate us for that?”
“You-!" Chester pointed at Ethan, too choked up to speak.
“Don’t bother arguing, Ethan. Let's just file the report,” Zachary said firmly, having seen through their act. These
