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. Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.

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.

Someone whispered, "Who knows if it's true or not?"

"Yeah, it's just a pair of stockings. I wouldn't believe they're worth that much."

Adeline raised her eyebrow at Sophia and said, "You see, this is the majority's reaction. Besides, stockings are typically kept in a drawer. How could I have taken a liking to Rosa's black stockings before seeing it?"

"Furthermore, stockings are nothing special. Even if Rosa casually left them in the living room, how could I be so foolish as to pass up other expensive items and go for a pair of stockings?"

Melissa chimed in at the right moment, "Exactly! This matter needs a thorough investigation! What kind of stockings are worth over four hundred dollars? I don't believe it! If it turns out they're not

worth that much, Adeline you should sue that parent for defamation!"

Adeline's expression shifted slightly at Melissa's words.

As expected, a female police officer asked, "So, where are those black stockings now? Could you please hand them over? The stockings are also important evidence."

As the words were spoken, Adeline's expression stiffened, and she seemed visibly uneasy.

Could she tell the police that her husband had torn the stockings into pieces?

The more Adeline thought about it, the angrier she became. It was all that scoundrel, Curtis's fault!

"Officer, well... I might not be able to hand them over. The stockings were damaged, so I threw them away."

At that point, the teacher who had been reprimanded by Jacob just moments ago couldn't hold back and spoke up.

"Did you throw them away, or did you sell them? Can a branded pair of stockings worth over four hundred dollars be damaged so easily?"

The rest seemed to be influenced by those words and started to discuss it.

Adeline noticed many of her colleagues nodding in agreement, albeit subtly.

The female police officer's expression became serious and asked, "From last night until now, it hasn't been too long. Even if you threw them away, we could still find them in the trash. Where did you throw them?"
