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.
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."
