"Julian." The thug answered without hesitation, clearly too scared to run. "Lady, we were just trying to scare you. We didn’t mean to do anything else. We thought, you’re just a young girl, if we shout at you a bit, you’d leave LA." "Right! What the boss said is true! Who knew you’d just start beating us up without saying a word!" This was the most ridiculous thing they had encountered in all their years of work! Amelia had listened enough. Her tone was light as she said, "You did manage to scare me, so for the emotional distress, you’ll need to compensate me." The thugs were stunned: Who’s being scared? They were the ones with bruises, broken bones, and who knew what else! Amelia smiled. "What’s wrong? You don’t want to pay? Fine, I’ll call the police, and you’ll all have a record."
