Chapter 139 The Storm of Over Four Hundred Dollars Worth Black Silk Stockings

"Ah, I never thought she would be that kind of person!"

"Could this be fake? I heard it with my ears. She even told Mrs. Williams that her family has a chauffeur and can go to further places!"

"Further places meaning those villas halfway up the mountain! Wealthy people give teachers expensive gifts."

......

Listening to the discussions among her colleagues, Adeline felt a chill run down her spine.

Did she fall for the scheme again?

Couldn't one be a kind-hearted person in the workplace?

Adeline was about to walk in when Mrs. Williams, who had been leaning against the window, turned around and spoke harshly.

"Are you guys done? I just went to pick up a call, and you guys can gossip this much!"

The two colleagues who were gossiping were caught red-handed, looking embarrassed.

One of them whispered, "I heard it with my ears."

"You heard it? Let me ask you. Did you hear the entire conversation? You're spreading rumors here. I'm expecting my second child and the placenta isn't stable yet. I asked Ms. Burton to help me with those distant home visits. So, what's it to you if they have a chauffeur? Wouldn't it be more convenient to go up the mountain with a chauffeur? Do you think it's better for us, who are riding the

motorcycle go halfway up the mountain? Moreover, we've all been to Ms. Burton's house. With her living conditions, what is she lacking? Is it worth risking getting fired for a small gift? Let's be reasonable, even if you're making up stories!"

The teacher who was being criticized froze for a moment, then awkwardly shifted the topic with a forced smile, "Mrs. Williams, you're pregnant? Congratulations."

Mrs. Williams gave a cold snort, "Save your congratulations, please. I know you will be mocking me for being an old-aged mother at my back."

The colleague rolled their eyes in secret.

After all, their relationship would be sour in the future.

At that moment, Adeline walked into the office wearing high heels and nodded toward Mrs. Williams, "Thank you."

"Thank you? I should be the one thanking you."

As Mrs. Williams finished talking, two police officers entered the room, asking, "Is Adeline Burton here?"

Adeline's heart skipped a beat, and she turned around to respond, "That's me."

"This is our identification. We suspect you may be involved in a recent theft case. Please come with us to the police station for investigation."

As those words were heard, many colleagues in the office stood up in surprise.

Some even gathered around to watch the commotion.

The two teachers who had been gossiping about Adeline earlier smirked to themselves, "Look at her trying to act all high and mighty. See, the police are coming to her."

Ignoring the chatter of her colleagues, Adeline furrowed her eyebrows and looked at the police officers, "Is there some kind of misunderstanding?"

Mrs. Williams chimed in as well, "Yes, officers. Ms. Burton has an impeccable character. She wouldn't be involved in such petty crimes!"

The dispatched police officers explained truthfully, "We received a report from a parent who claimed that you used the pretext of a home visit to commit theft. They allege that you stole a valuable gemstone necklace worth millions from their home. The case is still under investigation, and we request your cooperation."

At the same time, Sophia arrived and approached Adeline, earnestly advising, "Ms. Burton, you should cooperate with the police investigation. Go to the station and explain the situation regarding the incident."

She sighed, "Look at you! This matter has even caught the attention of the principal! As a teacher, how could you behave so recklessly?

"Last night at 11 PM, the principal and I both received a report from Rosa. She claimed that you went to their house, saw a pair of black silk stockings worth over four hundred dollars, and blatantly asked for them. She also mentioned that you demanded to have them and even went into her master bedroom to change into the black stockings. She suspects you were trying to seduce her husband. Tell me, with your behavior like that, how can parents trust the teachers at Prodiff Elementary School in the future?" Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.

As Sophia finished speaking, Melissa stormed in angrily, "Nonsense! Adeline would never do something like that!"

Mrs. Williams also chimed in, "That's right, Ms. Adams. The case hasn't been fully investigated yet! It's inappropriate to jump to conclusions like this."
