Chapter 36

The officer who was in charge of making records smacked his own head, finally remembering. “Yes, it’s

true. So, it turns out that the necklace was sent by your school! What a coincidence. That makes things

a lot easier. I’ll ask someone to get it now.”

Since it was nearby, the freshly refined results were soon brought over.

In front of everyone, Lucille recorded her fingerprints and compared them to the fingerprints that were

identified on the necklace. The result proved that there was no match at all!

That meant that she had never touched the diamond necklace.

Looking at the results, Sebastian was stunned.

“That’s impossible!”

Howard hadn’t told him that over the phone the day before.

Lucille had a faint smile on her face. She already had a guess as to who the mastermind was, so she

had silently sparked hatred in Howard’s heart. noveldrama

“Alas… What a pity for parents all over the world.”

There was a double meaning to her words.

Hearing this, Sebastian gritted his teeth and said, ‘I see. It turns out that you and your father were

working together to put me on the spot! Impressive.”

Lucille spread out her hands and innocently said, “You misunderstood.”

The more she tried to deny it, the more Sebastian believed in his judgment.

He sneered and left with a flick of his sleeve.

Needless to say, Howard, who kept trying to curry favor with Sebastian, was at a disadvantage right

then. Even their partnership, which was nearly settled, had gone cold.

She had just been faking it until she made it.

Lucille turned her head to look at the officers and said, “I’m sorry to make trouble for you, but… Can

you give me this fingerprint identification report and the report from today? I want to prove my

innocence to the school.” “No problem. Here you go.”

“Thank you.

Lucille took the two papers with both hands and put them into her bag.

When she emerged from the police station again, she found more than a dozen middle-aged men

standing at the door. When they saw her, they immediately rushed up and started begging her.

“Please be merciful and let my child go, okay?”

“My child is immature. He has just reached adulthood. You guys are classmates who spend so much

time together. How can you bear to ruin his future and leave a stain on his life?”

Lucille was surrounded by a group of parents. It was as if there were hundreds of bees flying around

her ears, buzzing and giving her a headache.

Just as she was frowning, she heard a soft and sweet voice beside her.

“Everyone, please be quiet. Let me talk to my sister.”

Zoey stepped forward gracefully from behind the cloud.

After she appeared, the chattering parents immediately quieted down. All they said was, “Fine. Either

way, you have to give us an explanation for what happened today!”

“Don’t worry. My sister has always been reasonable. She won’t make things difficult for us.” After Zoey

finished speaking, she looked at Lucille with a faint smile. “Right, Lucille?”

A playful smile tugged at the corners of Lucille’s lips.

Hmph.

How interesting.

She really didn’t expect that Zoey would have the ability to incite so many parents to act pathetic and

beg Lucille to be understanding.

If she didn’t agree, it would mean that she was not kind and reasonable enough.

If she agreed to let those eight students go, she would gain a good reputation, and all the students and

parents would be grateful to her.

That was killing two birds with one stone.
