Chapter 140 Could She Tell the Police that Her Husband Ripped the Black Stockings
"Hey, Melissa, why are you cursing at people? Don't go overboard. Remember, I'm your superior," Sophia adopted a stern tone to reprimand.
"Did I curse at you? You misunderstood! I was cursing that troublemaker!" Melissa replied with a playful grin.
"We all know Adeline's character, don't we? I said "nonsense" just now, directed at the person accusing Adeline of being a thief. Whoever says it, I am cursing them! If you say Rosa said it, then I was cursing her!"
Sophia's face turned slightly red with anger, leaving her momentarily speechless.
At the same time, Adeline had a clearer understanding of the situation, and she calmed down.
She smiled calmly and nodded appreciatively at Melissa and Mrs. Williams.
In that kind of situation, finding people who were willing to speak up for her wasn't easy, especially since it might offend the narrow-minded superior, Sophia.
She pulled Melissa to her back and looked at Sophia with a composed gaze.
"Firstly, I didn't steal anything from Jacob's home. The case is still being investigated, and you're already implying that I committed a crime. Ms. Adams, the way you're talking could potentially constitute defamation against me!"
Sophia seemed shocked after hearing those words.
She knew that Adeline's husband was wealthy, and the thought of being sued for defamation by their lawyer made her face pale.
Adeline was pleased to see her being discomfort and gave a slight smile.
"Secondly, it was Jacob's dog that tore my stockings, and Rosa specifically brought me a new pair to replace them. At the time, I wasn't aware that black stockings were so expensive. I even offered to pay, but Rosa insisted they were of little value and repeatedly declined my offer. Furthermore, it was Rosa who suggested I change them in the master bedroom, which I refused. In the end, I only went to the restroom in the living room to change. That's everything of the incident."
Sophia looked awkward and said, "Do you have any evidence to support your claims?"
Adeline gave a faint smile and replied, "I have logical evidence. Let me ask you. Is it common for someone to guess that a pair of black stockings is worth over four hundred dollars?"
The surrounding teachers shook their heads.
