Unexpectedly Sweet Flash Marriage novel Chapter 141

Chapter 141 Adeline's Self-Defense and Rosa's Panic

Seeing Adeline's expression, the police officer continued to speak.

"Mrs. Riley, please trust us. No matter the extent of the stockings' damage, we can gather evidence and have experts determine their value. We'll see if a single pair of black stockings is truly worth over four hundred dollars, as claimed by the parent. Rest assured, our work is based on evidence, not someone else leading us by the nose. We make judgments based on the evidence presented."

Adeline pursed her lips, "The stockings are at home. They were torn by a dog after I took them off last night. Should I have someone from home bring them over?"

Seeing the police officer nod, Adeline called Curtis.

"Honey, could you please bring over the stockings that the dog tore last night? The police officers at my school want to use them as evidence."

Adeline deliberately emphasized the word "dog."

Curtis was momentarily taken aback, then responded with a warm chuckle, "Got it, I'll have a lawyer bring them over."

His response was concise, and Adeline understood.

After hanging up the phone, Rosa rushed into the room in a state of agitation, "Officer, have you found my ruby necklace? My ruby necklace is very valuable."

The male police officer handling the case looked at Rosa and answered, "Ma'am, we are still investigating."

Rosa pointed at Adeline's bag excitedly and said, "It must be in her bag! It must be! She was carrying this bag when she came to our house last night."

Sophia joined in, "Then please, Officer, open that bag and clear our school's teacher of any suspicion."

Adeline understood the situation and smiled lightly, completely unafraid.

"You can open my bag, but I have a condition."

The male police officer handling the case became a bit impatient and said, "You have no right to make demands! You are to cooperate with our work, not the other way around."

"Oh?" Adeline raised her eyebrow calmly and said, "Since that's the case, I'll wait for my lawyer to arrive before making a decision. Right now, I have the right to refuse to cooperate."

The female police officer working on the case shot a glare at the male officer, then turned back to Adeline, maintaining a neutral stance.
