Chapter 32
“Sir, you just said that I have a bad character and a history of stealing, right? Well, my request is for
you to thoroughly investigate this matter and clear my name!” she stated.
It was because of such an usation that Lucille, the original owner of the item, had been used of
being a thief. People were still pointing fingers at her to that day.
Two months ago, Jenny wore a diamond ne and showed off in ss. Lucille could tell that she
was trying to get along with the ss, so she went along with it and praised her as well.
Unexpectedly, Jenny’s ne disappeared during PE ss that day.
Everyone was looking for it.
In the end, it was Zoey who found it in Lucille’s locker. In front of everyone, she had a tone of disbelief
as she said, “Lucille, no matter how much you like other people’s things, you can’t steal them!”
From that moment on, Lucille hadmitted theft.
After going back home, she was severely beaten by Howard, so much so that she had to lie in bed for
a whole month without being able to move!
That wrongful usation had been around for long enough. It was time to prove her innocence.
The principal frowned. “Even if you say you’re innocent, it’s been so long. It’s hard to find out…”
“It’s not hard.”
Lucille casually said, “The ne is still on the school grounds. Since that’s the case, can’t you
check if there are my fingerprints on it?”
At the time, after Zoey found the missing ne in Lucille’s locker, almost everyone was sure that
she had stolen it.
Jenny, on the other hand, had thrown the ne into the trash on the spot, for fear of bad luck.
In the end, a teacher kept the ne and said that Jenny could take it back whenever she wanted.
However, the high-and-mighty Miss Zanes arrogantly dered that she would never touch anything so
dirty. Because of that, the ne was still being kept in the office.
As long as they were able to extract the fingerprints on it, it was enough to prove her innocence. Lucille
asked, “Is that possible, sir?”
Before the principal could answer, Master Walton also questioned him with a straight face. “Is that
possible?” If the principal were to say that it wasn’t, then Master Walton would leave immediately.
The principal was forced to nod. “I will investigate this matter personally. We cannot let a student be
wronged. I will definitely look into this!”
“That’s more like it.”
Master Walton was satisfied. He then turned to Lucille and said, “Your problem has been resolved. I

also have something to discuss with you. Could we step aside for a moment?”
“Okay.”
Lucille readily agreed.
She had already guessed what he was going to ask.
Sure enough, Master Walton took her to the end of the corridor with no one around. The first thing he
asked was, “Who is your mentor? Was your mentor the one who taught you that water-extracting
skill?”
“No.” Lucille maintained her stance from earlier. “I saw it in a book. I suddenly thought of it earlier, so !
just tried using it.”
Master Walton obviously didn’t believe her. He asked again, “Do you know Bambo?”
Bambo was a legendary master of acupuncture with a mysterious identity.
That was the alias she had casually picked out for herself.
Lucille’s expression did not change. I’ve heard of them. I admire them very much.”
It was not that she wanted to praise herself, but that many people in the field had heard of that person.
She couldn’t say that she didn’t know Bambo at all. It wouldn’t make sense.
Master Walton nodded. For a moment, she couldn’t tell whether it was disappointment or regret that he
was feeling
“It seems that I misunderstood. It’s okay. You can go back to ss,”
Lucille turned around and left. However, before doing so, she sincerely told him, “Thank you for helping
me out today, Master Walton.”
