Chapter 122 3,000 Dollars Worth of Back Stockings
"I can't believe she did this. I heard it with my own ears! She even told Miss White that she had a driver at home, so she could go to faraway places!"
"Faraway places are those villas halfway up the mountain! Rich people give gifts to teachers all the time."
Listening to her colleagues' comments, Queenie suddenly felt a bit disheartened.
Did she fall for it again?
Could a person never be kind at the workplace?
Just as Queenie was about to walk in, Miss White, who had been leaning against the window, turned around and scolded in a fierce tone.
"Have you all had enough? I pick up a phone call, and you gossip this much!"
The two gossiping colleagues were caught, and they looked embarrassed.
One of them whispered, "From what I personally heard..."
"You heard it with your own ears? Let me ask you, did you hear the entire conversation? You've been spreading this rumor. I'm just pregnant with my second child, and the placenta isn't stable yet. I asked Ms. Lorente to help me with those distant home visits. She has a driver, what does it have to do with you all? Isn't it more convenient for a driver to go halfway up the mountain? Do we really have to drive our little motorcycles up to the halfway point? Besides, we have all been to Ms. Lorente's house. She has everything she needs there. As for risking being fired, is that small gift worth it? Even rumors should have some limits!"
The teacher who was being criticized had a momentary pause and then forced a smile, attempting to change the subject. "Miss White, you're pregnant? Congratulations!"
Miss White snorted. "Save your congratulations for behind my back, saying I gave birth late in life!"
The colleague gave an annoyed roll of the eyes.
Their relationship couldn't be salvaged in any way.
Queenie walked into the office in high heels and nodded at Miss White, saying, "Thank you."
"What for? I should be the one thanking you."
As the voice fell, two policemen entered the office, and many colleagues stood up in surprise.
Some even gathered around to watch the excitement.
The two teachers, who were gossiping about Queenie just now, chuckled to themselves. "The police have come knocking."
Ignoring the whispered comments from her colleagues, Queenie frowned and looked at the police officers. "Is there a misunderstanding?"
Miss White chimed in, "Yes, officers. Ms. Lorente has an impeccable character. She would never steal anything!"
The officers, who were sent there, truthfully explained, "We received a report from a parent claiming that under the guise of a home visit, you stole a valuable necklace worth millions of dollars from their house. The investigation is still ongoing, and we would appreciate your cooperation."
At that moment, May rushed over to Queenie's side and earnestly advised, "Yes, Ms. Lorente, you should cooperate with the police investigation. Go to the station and explain the whole incident."
She sighed. "This matter has already reached the principal's office! As a teacher, how could you behave so improperly? Last night at 11 p.m., both the principal and I received a report from Melissa saying that you went to their house and openly expressed a desire for her $3,000 black stockings. She also said that you wanted to go to her master bedroom to change into the stockings. She suspects you are trying to seduce her husband. With your actions, how can parents trust the teachers at Experimental Primary School in the future?"
As May finished speaking, Macy burst in angrily. "Nonsense! Queenie is not that kind of person at all!"
Miss White also chimed in, "Yeah, Ms. Wilson, the case hasn't been fully investigated yet! It's a bit inappropriate to say that."
