Chapter 485:
Eventually, the traffic officer made her way through the crowd. Observing the situation, she frowned and quickly approached Ashton.
She displayed her police ID card to everyone and then asked Ashton, “Sir, what’s the issue here?”
The officer was notably attractive, with bright red lips, white teeth, and striking eyes. Had she not shown her ID, which identified her as Alisha Smith, a traffic officer, Ashton might have mistaken her for a movie star.
Nevertheless, Ashton appeared unimpressed. He shrugged and said, “My car didn’t hit him, but he deliberately staged this to extort money from me. He was targeting luxury cars at the parking lot exit. Despite my explanations, no one believes me. I’m not sure what to do now.”
Alisha observed Ashton’s dismissive attitude and, perceiving his affluent background, felt a bias in favor of the short man.

Alisha and the bystanders who had initially supported Nikolas now appeared sheepish.
Had they been wrong about Ashton all along?
Nikolas’ expression turned sour. He was well-versed in the tactic of feigning accidents with cars.
Whenever a car neared, he would stage a collision. If unsuccessful, he would quickly abandon the pretense and move on to another vehicle as if nothing had happened.
This time, his greed was spurred by the allure of Ashton’s luxury car, compelling him to take a chance.
Unfortunately for him, Ashton quickly exposed his deceit in front of everyone, eliminating any opportunity for argument.
