Chapter 23 Evidence
“Ma’am, we’re just going to bring her in for questioning.”
“I don’t think that’s necessary. All she does is cause problems.”
I really can’t stand Sophie.
“You should go back to the class, Mrs. Fletcher,” uttered Sophie coldly.
She’s not even qualified to become a teacher.
As she followed the police officers downstairs, Willow was coincidentally ascending the stairs, but Sophie did not even bother to glance at her.
However, Willow halted her steps, a frown on her face.
“Just what exactly did Sophie do that the police are here for her?”
“Don’t know.”
Willow could not bear to listen to the students’ gossips.
If the news of Sophie being arrested spread around, will Grandpa still give her the shares?
Bearing that thought in mind, she quickly gave Charmaine a call.
“Mom, the police took Sophie in from the school. I don’t know for what. Just wanted to inform you in case you and Grandpa want to check on her.”
On the other side, Charmaine was enraged after she received the news.
That darned Sophie! Why didn’t she just die in Horington! Is it not enough for her to embarrass us five years ago? Why is she still causing trouble!
Josiah seemed to take notice of her fury as he queried, “What’s wrong?”
“Dad, Sophie is arrested. I don’t know what happened, but I’ll go to the police station now.” No matter what, she’s still a Tanner. I can’t neglect her.
“What?”
“Don’t worry, Dad. I’ll go check on her.”
“Wait, I’ll go with you.”
On the flip side, Sophie could not help but sneer upon noticing Queenie at the police station.
Hmm. How dare she continue with her act here? Seems like what I did to her is not enough.
“Do you know who she is?” asked an officer to Sophie.
“Yes.”
“Have a look at this statement. Do you have anything to say regarding Ms. Queenie’s charges?”
Queenie smirked. Let’s see how you’ll remain smug this time, Sophie.
Glancing at Queenie, Sophie still seemed smug.
“Yes,” the latter responded nonchalantly.
“What is it?”
“I am indeed the one who broke her nose.”
Just as she said that, Charmaine walked in, and the latter was infuriated.
“Sophie, I shouldn’t have let you return to Jipsdale!” she hollered. Why do I have a daughter like her? All she does is get into trouble!
At this time, Queenie’s mother also arrived.
Since the Lane family had some sort of business in Jipsdale, Queenie’s mother could not bear to see her daughter in this state.
“Why are you so evil at such a young age? What did my Queenie do to you that you did this to her?”
Seeing her mother, Queenie ran into her embrace.
“Mom, I’m scared. I don’t want to go to school anymore.”
“Don’t be scared, Queenie. I believe the police will help us,” replied Cynthia Lane, Queenie’s mother.
“We’re at fault here, so if you need anything, we’ll surely give it to you,” said Charmaine. This matter can’t travel out. Otherwise, our family will be embarrassed once again.
“Really? Then break your daughter’s nose. Our family doesn’t need any more money.”
