Chapter 257

When Lemira noticed the cops striding in, a flicker of surprise crossed her eyes. Could Susanna have called them?

Evelina, catching the scene, couldn’t hide her smug smile, “Officer, Lemira’s violating the law and discipline is because she just got a bit confused, ending up locking everyone’s phones. I hope she realizes her mistake soon and gets back on the right track!”

“Exactly! Lemira deliberately messed with the school’s online forum and locked all those phones. Just because she got caught being a material girl, she thinks she can silence us!”

Susanna was in high spirits, “Lemira, seems like I don’t have to deal with you after class. Others will take care of you. Enjoy getting expelled!”

She had only to whisper a word to the principal, and Lemira, the country bumpkin without a strong backing, would surely get expelled. Lemira, gazing at the police officers with a calm demeanor, thought it might be time to hire a lawyer. She was ready to fight this till the

nd.

However, the officers turned their attention to Susanna, “Ms. Sinclair, we’re actually here for you.”

“For me? What for? You should be arresting Lemira!”

Susanna was visibly upset. What was this all about?

“Ms. Sinclair, please come with us.”

“I haven’t done anything illegal. Why should I go with you?”

“Ms. Sinclair, according to our investigation, during your high school years, you’re suspected of bullying a classmate, forcing that person to commit suicide by jumping off the building. We’ve found new evidence and need you to come in for questioning.”

As Susanna heard this, her face turned ghostly pale. She stumbled backwards in fright, “But wasn’t that case closed?”

Her family had smoothed things over a long time ago!

“Ms. Sinclair, you’re under arrest. You have to come with us.”

“Don’t come any closer, let go! Do you know who I am? My brother–in–law is the power Everhart heir. You’ll all get paid by then!”

Nevertheless, Susanna was taken away.

People in the classroom exchanged mutual glances, nobody expecting such a twist.

Lemira hadn’t anticipated Susanna’s arrest either, but the charges seemed in line with Susanna’s usual behavior.

At the sight of Susanna led away, Evelina’s mood lifted instantly. Served her right!

She quickly adopted a righteous stance, “Lemira, now that Ms. Sinclair is gone, you should unlock our phones, right?”

“So, you were one of them spreading the rumors against me as well.”

Lemira’s expression was mocking.

Evelina felt a bit guilty, “I was just trying to explain for you, but what you did was still wrong! Don’t you think, Miss?”

The teacher felt a headache coming on.

This was clearly a maneuver by the Business School against Lemira. But who would have thought Lemira would stand her ground so firmly!

Not only was her stance firm, but her skills were also formidable! The teacher couldn’t even crack the code Lemira had written, showcasing her rare genius.

Either side was a tough nut to crack.

The teacher cleared her throat, “I’ll discuss this matter with the supervisor and see how to proceed.”

Evelina was getting anxious, “This is a minor issue. Do we really need to discuss it for so long? We can’t use our phones, and it’s quite bothersome.”

The teacher looked over, “But whether the contents of that post are true is still unclear, so we can’t jump to conclusions.” If Lemira was truly this talented, she had numerous ways to make money and didn’t need to resort to gold–digging! Considering the notorious reputation of the Business School students, the teacher felt Lemira was likely being slandered. Having finally found a promising student, it would be a shame to lose her now. The teacher turned to Lemira, her tone softened, “Lemira, I’ll report this situation to the school and see how we can resolve it. The school won’t wrong an innocent person.”
