    Chapter 143 Sophia in Fear and Adeline''s Calcted Moves


    Sophia resorted to a forced smile upon being caught attempting to escape and found herself


    speechless.


    "I did it because I''m concerned about the reputation of our school."


    Adeline calmly responded with wless logic, "Oh? The reputation of the school is important, but


    what about the reputation of us teachers?"


    Melissa chimed in, echoing Adeline''s words, "Exactly! As our superior, you should prioritize standing


    by our side in a situation like this. Protecting us means protecting the school''s reputation. Don''t you


    agree, Ms. Adams?"


    Sophia was ovee with fear as she saw Mason whisper in Adeline''s ear. She hurriedly said,


    "Yes, you''re right. I will do better next time."


    Sincerely, Sophia approached Adeline and apologized, "Ms. Burton, I genuinely apologize to you!


    Please forgive my rash words. I should have trusted your character."


    "Very well, I ept your apology," Adeline said as she nodded to Mason.


    Sophia finally breathed a sigh of relief and left.


    Adeline felt satisfied with her rification and said to the police, "Let''s go. I agree to go to the police


    station for further investigation. I will submit a report about itter."


    Adeline nced at Rosa, whose face had turned pale.


    The group then left the school.


    Meanwhile, Victoria, sitting in her car, smirked as she watched Adeline being taken away by the


    police.


    "Adeline, don''t me me for being so ruthless. Leo''s uing birthday party is just around the


    corner, and I absolutely can''t allow you to tell everyone the truth there. I hope you can obediently


    stay behind bars after you stole that ne worth over thirty million. If Logan finds out you''re in


    jail, he''ll bepletely disappointed in you."


    ...


    In the mediation room at the police station, Mason told Rosa, "Actually, we can find a path of


    reconciliation in this matter."


    Those words breathed new life into Rosa, who immediately seized the opportunity to implore, "Ms.


    Burton, I admit my wrongdoing. Please forgive me."


    With a soft chuckle, Adeline responded, "Very well then, since you acknowledge your mistake, you


    can totally correct it. It''s an idea that even the kindergarten students canprehend."

    Rosa nodded in agreement, "You''re right."


    "I don''t think there''s any animosity between us, and I am confident that you were not deliberate in


    conspiring against me. So, if you expose those who manipted you, I am willing to extend an olive


    branch and make peace with you."


    A shadow cast over Rosa''s face upon hearing Adeline''s words, causing her to fall into a momentary


    silence.


    Sensing Rosa''s hesitation, Adeline skillfully yed mind games with her emotions, saying, "I


    understand the challenges you face, Mrs. Martinez. The person who instructed you may have


    something on you or enticed you with the promise of profits. However, spreading rumors and


    using others of something are illegal. Regardless of the duration of your confinement, it will


    leave a mark on your life."


    "And consider the implications for your child, Jacob. Have you thought about how Jacob will have to


    cope with the situation? How will it impact his future career prospects or rtionships? Imagine the


    judgment that will be ced upon him because he has a mother with a history of being in jail."


    Rosa rose from her seat in agitation and cried out, "No! I... I cannot tolerate such nder against


    my son. But if I expose her, my husband''spany will be ruined!"


    Adeline chuckled softly and got ready to stand, remarking, "The choice of pursuing wealth or ending


    up in jail ultimately rests with you."


    After speaking, Adeline turned around, preparing to leave.


    Rosa hesitated, anxiously pinching her fingers, and finally managed to say with difficulty, "I will tell


    you the truth."


    Mason shifted his gaze toward Rosa and asked, Do you have any evidence to support your


    ims?"


    Mason knew it would be difficult for them toe up with substantial evidence because those who


    abetted people to do such things typically made verbal agreements.


    Ultimately, the situation would deteriorate into both sides ming each other.
