Mariela stopped him and calmly spoke to the police, “One ruptured testicle is a minor injury, two are serious. If both are ruptured and removed. it could be excessive defense, and I could be charged with intentional harm.”
This was within Mariela’s professional knowledge.
“But Mariela took out her phone and played a recording.
The full conversation of the two men in the corridor had been recorded by Mariela.
Mariela’s gaze was steady as she said slowly, “Officers, I have evidence showing these two men intended to rape me. resistance was reasonable and justified, not excessive defense.”

Mariela put her phone on the table, her expression serious. I am now formally reporting a crime, as they planned to rape me.”
The police officer said, “We’ll file a rape case and investigate, and we’ll also file a case for your intentional harm. It’s a public prosecution. The count will decide if it’s self–defense”
Mariela nodded “Understood.”
After paying bail, Mariela left the station and got in Lennon’s car.
‘Til call to drop the case,” Lennon said.
Mariela shook her head. No need, I can handle it.”
Night surrounded them.
Everything was quiet.
Lennon’s face was undear in the dark.
He said, “Marie, you always face things alone. You can rely on me.”
Mariela was quiet for a bit.
She sighed.
“After my mom left, I was depressed for a long time, Mariela said softly. “When my dad remarried, I felt alone in the world.”
It was still quiet.
They sat in the car together.
Mariela’s face was hidden in the dark, hiding her sadness.

He looked at Mariela kindly “You have me.”
Mariela didn’t answer.
Today, Caylee’s words had affected her.
Lauryn, Lennon’s stepsister, might have feelings for Lennon.
Mariela knew Lennon spoiled Lauryn.
Even though Lauryn’s rudeness to her yesterday got scolded by Lennon…
Lennon was mainly angry because Lauryn was rude and embarrassed their family.
Not because he supported Mariela.
Mariel knew she

If Lauryn and Mariela had conflicts in the future, Lennon would side with Lauryn.

Chapter68
To avoid disappointment, Mariela decided not to expect anything from Lennon,
Seeing Mariela’s silence, Lennon felt defeated.
He sighed and gently touched Mariela’s head. Marie, remember, I’ll always support you. Mariela nodded quietly.”Mmm.”
After dropping Mariela home, Lennon called to drop the intentional harm case.
Then he called his assistant.
Find the hospital where the two men who harassed Marie are and handle it
The tattooed man. Viper, had undergone surgery and was now resting.
The man with the yellow hair, Jax, was lying in the adjacent bed.
A masked man entered the ward.
Both Viper and Jax recognized him.
He had given them 8,000 dollars each to harass Mariela.
If it wasn’t for him, they wouldn’t have ended up getting beaten up and hospitalized!
Viper had his testicles severely damaged, and he was going to be sterile.
This couldn’t just be fixed with 8,000 dollars!
The tattooed man, Viper, was angry. “Damn you! Why didn’t you tell me she knows wrestling? I got kicked and now I might never be able to have kids!”
“Quiet down,” the man said, “I give you 50,000 dollars each. If the police question you, just say you acted because you think she’s pretty. Don’t mention me, understand?”
The yellow–haired man, Jax, quickly agreed, “Okay.”
He had a dislocated arm, which would heal with a cast 50,000 dollars was a big gain.
But Viper was far from satisfied. 50,000 dollars? That’s peanuts. I’m sterile now. I demand 150 thousand dollars!”
The masked man felt relieved.150 thousand dollars was manageable.
His boss had said any amount under 750 thousand dollars was fine.
He only needed to ensure they confessed and didn’t mention that they were instructed to harass Mariela.
If they revealed they were instructed, the Logan and Stark families would get involved, leading back to his boss.
He had been ready to offer 300 thousand dollars if needed.
Luckily. Viper settled for 150 thousand dollars.
“Okay,” the masked man said softly.“Give me your bank card number. The money will be transferred soon. If you leak anything, you’ll lose the money and your life. Think carefully.”
He threatened, “If you confess, you might get 1 few years in jail. If you mess up, I’ll make
