    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 ck stockings is truly worth


    over four hundred dors, as imed 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 torest 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 awyer


    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 ne? My ruby ne 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 housest 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,pletely 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 mywyer to


    arrive before making a decision. Right now, I have the right to refuse to cooperate."


    Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org.


    The female police officer working on the case shot a re at the male officer, then turned back to


    Adeline, maintaining a neutral stance.


    "Tell us your request. As long as it''s reasonable andwful, 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 fromst night until now, I


    haven''t touched anything in my bag."


    "If someone is trying to put the ne 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 ne was found inside.


    Seeing Adeline''sposed 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 ne."


    She then carefully removed the ne, ced 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 ne 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 ne is worth millions. This is a case that could be prosecuted, leading to a prison


    sentence."


    "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 ne 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 ne. I


    won''t press charges anymore!"
