Chapter 265
The Whites were the Whites, and Colin was Colin. Would it really be a mistake to generalize things
based on a few instances?
I pondered for a long time to find the most urate answer.
In the afternoon the day after I was discharged, I received a call from a police officer just after 2:00 pm.
They mentioned that there were some details about that night’s incident that needed my rification.
They could eithere to me or I could go to the police station, but it had to be a face-to-face meeting.
The police station was quite close to school. It was just two streets down the road from the side gate.
Plus, Colin would apany me there.
Upon arriving, Felix was there too, with Lc standing behind him. She looked aggrieved, and her eyes
were red. When she saw meing in, she red at me fiercely before quickly lowering her head
again. She went back to pretending to be a weak woman.
I really couldn’t understand her thought process.
A normal person would be weeping and expressing her regret, doing everything possible to convince
me to let her off. After all, I was the victim here. But she red at me, full of resentment. What was she
angry about?

Felix was by her side. He was cold and detached while she was sobbing. What were they really up to?
The officer who met us was a young man in his 20s. He was slim and unassuming but had a strong
presence. As he sat down, he pped the folder on the table and looked up, causing Lc to visibly
shiver. She moved, closer to Felix, seeking protection as she put her hand on his shoulder.

Felix’s eyelid twitched, and he seemed to want to shake her hand off. However, he restrained himself
for some reason.
The officer sternly lectured Lc, educating her on thew and making her realize that her previous
actions were illegal. As an adult, she had to bear the legal responsibility.
Lc’s head hung so low it seemed it might hit the floor. It was only then did the officer let her off the
hook.
Then, it was my turn.
The officer exined that they had verified Lc’s recording and found it to be genuine. It meant that
they had confirmed that she had hired people tomit an act of violence, but the attempted rape was
not connected to her.
Given that I was rescued in time and no serious harm urred, the officer
rmended negotiations between the rted parties. If no agreement
could be reached, legal proceedings would follow.
They emphasized that the decision was mine to make as I was the victim. They would respect my
decision. The two assants would be dealt with
separately.
Knowing that the recording was real, my resentment toward Lc lessened. As long as she hadn’t
intended to ruin me, it showed she wasn’t entirely without conscience. I thought I’d give her onest
chance.
It was not that I was a saint or inherently masochistic. But both Lc and I had deep ties with the
Whites. I didn’t want a future where everyone was sitting at the same table but was secretly harboring
grudges against each
other. That would make a home not feel like a home.
The negotiation was dominated by Lc’s crying, which annoyed Colin and me to no end. Felix, who
had been righteous and indignant in the hospital, remained silent and neutral throughout.
At first, Lc seemed to be putting on an act. She probably thought a few
tears and a few words from Felix might make everything right again, as that had always been the case.
However, she realized I was unyielding and Colin was ring at her with a menacing look. Meanwhile,
Felix remained a passive observer. So, her attítude began to shift. Though she mostly just cried, I
finally sensed some
sincerity.
She kept apologizing and talked about how hard she had worked to get into university. She brought up
how happy her father in prison was when he heard she got into graduate school. There were some
other things as well.
