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.

"Tell us your request. As long as it's reasonable and lawful, we will consider it. But let me remind you, right now we are the ones requesting your cooperation, and you should be cooperating with us."

Adeline nodded and answered, "Fine. You can search my bag, but I request that you wear white gloves and use evidence bags to preserve the items."

She narrowed her eyes and looked at Rosa and continued, "Because from last night until now, I haven't touched anything in my bag."

"If someone is trying to put the necklace in my bag to frame me, then there won't be any of my fingerprints on the gemstone."

"I'm asking the police officers to wear gloves, carefully preserve the evidence, to prove my innocence. Is that too much to ask?"

As she finished speaking, Rosa looked more panicked.

The female police officer nodded and replied, "Your request is reasonable."

After that, she put on the white gloves, took out the evidence bags, and cautiously opened Adeline's purse. As expected, a ruby necklace was found inside.

Seeing Adeline's composed demeanor and the pale lips of the person who reported the incident, the female police officer already had a clear understanding of the situation from her years of experience.

She nodded to her colleague, "There is indeed a ruby necklace."

She then carefully removed the necklace, placed it into an evidence bag, and sealed it.

Rosa rushed forward and attempted to grab the evidence while saying, "Officer, I just need to take the necklace back. I won't press charges. I won't press charges against this teacher.

The female police officer deftly stepped back a few paces, avoiding Rosa's attempts to seize the evidence.

The male police officer's tone became stern and said, "Not pressing charges? You were the one who said this necklace is worth millions. This is a case that could be prosecuted, leading to a prison sentence." Belongs to © n0velDrama.Org.

"I won't press charges. She's my child's teacher. If I press charges against her, how can my child continue going to school?"

Rosa continued to plead and attempted to reach for the necklace again.

The female police officer stood her ground.

Rosa's voice became desperate and begged, "Officer, I wasn't in a right mind when I said I wanted to press charges against my child's teacher. I am begging you, please. Give me the necklace. I won't press charges anymore!"
