“His leg is already swollen from the fall,” the female police officer said firmly as she stepped forward to defend me. “Even if he weren’t a student, if it were me in his condition, I wouldn’t be able to save anyone either.”
“Officer, you’ve been fooled by him!” my mother immediately cut in. “He did it on purpose! He deliberately broke his leg because he didn’t want to save anyone!”
“Marcus!” My father pointed straight at me and roared. “From now on, you have nothing to do with the Lancasters! You have nothing to do with the Lancaster Group either!”
Just then, another police officer rushed into the room.
“The street punks have turned themselves in,” he reported. “They said that Marcus Lancaster paid them.”
In an instant, every pair of eyes turned toward me.
Sure enough.
Whether I had saved her or not, they would still come forward to confess.
Not long after that, several street punks were brought in.
The moment they saw me, they pointed straight at me and immediately began their performance.
“Marcus gave me $5,000 and told me to help him deal with someone,” one of them said. “I didn’t know he was going to force himself on anyone.”
