Chapter 143 Sophia in Fear and Adeline's Calculated Moves

Sophia resorted to a forced smile upon being caught attempting to escape and found herself speechless.

"I did it because I'm concerned about the reputation of our school."

Adeline calmly responded with flawless logic, "Oh? The reputation of the school is important, but what about the reputation of us teachers?"

Melissa chimed in, echoing Adeline's words, "Exactly! As our superior, you should prioritize standing by our side in a situation like this. Protecting us means protecting the school's reputation. Don't you agree, Ms. Adams?"

Sophia was overcome with fear as she saw Mason whisper in Adeline's ear. She hurriedly said, "Yes, you're right. I will do better next time."

Sincerely, Sophia approached Adeline and apologized, "Ms. Burton, I genuinely apologize to you! Please forgive my rash words. I should have trusted your character."

"Very well, I accept your apology," Adeline said as she nodded to Mason.

Sophia finally breathed a sigh of relief and left. Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

Adeline felt satisfied with her clarification and said to the police, "Let's go. I agree to go to the police station for further investigation. I will submit a report about it later."

Adeline glanced at Rosa, whose face had turned pale.

The group then left the school.

Meanwhile, Victoria, sitting in her car, smirked as she watched Adeline being taken away by the police.

"Adeline, don't blame me for being so ruthless. Leo's upcoming birthday party is just around the corner, and I absolutely can't allow you to tell everyone the truth there. I hope you can obediently stay behind bars after you stole that necklace worth over thirty million. If Logan finds out you're in jail, he'll be completely disappointed in you."

...

In the mediation room at the police station, Mason told Rosa, "Actually, we can find a path of reconciliation in this matter."

Those words breathed new life into Rosa, who immediately seized the opportunity to implore, "Ms. Burton, I admit my wrongdoing. Please forgive me."

With a soft chuckle, Adeline responded, "Very well then, since you acknowledge your mistake, you can totally correct it. It's an idea that even the kindergarten students can comprehend."

Rosa nodded in agreement, "You're right."

"I don't think there's any animosity between us, and I am confident that you were not deliberate in conspiring against me. So, if you expose those who manipulated you, I am willing to extend an olive branch and make peace with you."

A shadow cast over Rosa's face upon hearing Adeline's words, causing her to fall into a momentary silence.

Sensing Rosa's hesitation, Adeline skillfully played mind games with her emotions, saying, "I understand the challenges you face, Mrs. Martinez. The person who instructed you may have something on you or enticed you with the promise of profits. However, spreading rumors and

accusing others of something are illegal. Regardless of the duration of your confinement, it will leave a mark on your life."

"And consider the implications for your child, Jacob. Have you thought about how Jacob will have to cope with the situation? How will it impact his future career prospects or relationships? Imagine the judgment that will be placed upon him because he has a mother with a history of being in jail."

Rosa rose from her seat in agitation and cried out, "No! I... I cannot tolerate such slander against my son. But if I expose her, my husband's company will be ruined!"

Adeline chuckled softly and got ready to stand, remarking, "The choice of pursuing wealth or ending up in jail ultimately rests with you."

After speaking, Adeline turned around, preparing to leave.

Rosa hesitated, anxiously pinching her fingers, and finally managed to say with difficulty, "I will tell you the truth."

Mason shifted his gaze toward Rosa and asked, Do you have any evidence to support your claims?"

Mason knew it would be difficult for them to come up with substantial evidence because those who abetted people to do such things typically made verbal agreements.

Ultimately, the situation would deteriorate into both sides blaming each other.
