Chapter 126 Ms. Wilson Is Terrified
Caught red-handed, Ms. Wilson smirked but couldn't utter a single word for quite some time.
"I was also worried about our school's reputation."
"Oh? The school is important, but the reputation of our teachers isn't?" Queenie calmly asked, making it difficult to find fault with her.
Macy chimed in, "Ms. Wilson is our superior. In a situation like this, you should have protected us first! By protecting us, you are protecting the school's reputation. Ms. Wilson, don't you agree?"
Seeing Kate whispering in Queenie's ear, without knowing what to say, May was instantly terrified and quickly spoke up.
"Yes, you're right. You make a valid point. I will definitely improve next time."
With a sincere attitude, May approached Queenie and said, "Ms. Lorente, I sincerely apologize to you! Please forgive me for speaking hastily. I should have trusted your character."
"Alright, I accept," Queenie said, nodding towards Kate.
After taking a deep breath, May finally left.
Seeing that she had been cleared of suspicion, Queenie picked up her bag and said to the police officers, "Let's go. I will cooperate with your investigation at the station. At the same time, I also want to file a complaint."
As she said that, Queenie glanced at Melissa who no longer had any color in her face.
The group walked out of the school.
Meanwhile, Lilith, sitting in the car, watched as Queenie was taken away in a police car, a smug smile forming on her lips.
"Queenie, don't blame me for being ruthless. I couldn't let you reveal these things to him at the birthday banquet! Enjoy your time sitting in jail for a necklace worth over thirty million. When Pollard finds out you're in prison, he will be utterly disappointed."
Police Mediation Room
Kate spoke to Melissa, "Actually, this matter... can be resolved peacefully, if you're willing."
Upon hearing this, Melissa perked up and pleaded, "Ms. Lorente, I was wrong, I truly was. Please forgive me."
Queenie smiled and said, "Alright, since we've done something wrong, let's correct it. This is a lesson even elementary school students understand."
Melissa quickly nodded. "Yes, Ms. Lorente is right."
"I don't hold any grudges against Melissa. I believe she wouldn't intentionally try to frame me. So, as long as you expose the person instructing you from behind the scenes, I agree to reconcile with you."
Melissa's face instantly darkened upon hearing this. For a long while, she couldn't say a word.
Seeing her struggle, Queenie struck a chord, "I know you must have your reasons..."
“The person behind it might have some leverage over you or promised you some benefits, Melissa. But defamation and framing are crimes that can be punished. Regardless of how long you might spend in prison, it will have an impact on your life. It's also a bad example for your child. Have you thought about what would happen to Nathan if you went to jail? How would he see you? How would others treat him when he works or dates, knowing that his mother has been in prison?"
"No!" Melissa stood up excitedly. "I can't let people treat my son like that. But...but if I accuse her, my husband's company will be ruined!"
Queenie smiled and prepared to leave. "Whether you want wealth or prison, that's a decision you have to make for yourself."
With that, Queenie turned to leave.
Melissa hesitated, pinching her fingers, and finally managed to say, "I will speak up!"
Kate looked at Melissa. "Do you have any evidence to support your claims?"
Kate knew that usually, incitement like this relied on verbal evidence. It was difficult to have substantial evidence!
In the end, it was just dogs biting dogs.
