’Of course. This was about Linda Warren, who’d been taken into custody ten days ago.’
’So this must be her mother?’
Chloe Sinclair scoffed inwardly.
’Sure enough, Linda Warren and her mom are cut from the same cloth.’
’It’s just that I don’t know whether to feel sorry for Linda Warren or to pity her.’
’After all, to end up with a mother like that, she must have been cursed with eight lifetimes of bad luck.’
"What happened to your daughter isn’t my fault. She was just too jealous and shortsighted. But Linda Warren is still young; she’ll be out in ten years. You, on the other hand..."
A cold smile touched the corners of Chloe Sinclair’s lips. "We have both witnesses and physical evidence. You’ll likely be spending the rest of your life behind bars."
The color drained from Mrs. Warren’s face as she stared at Chloe Sinclair in disbelief. "Impossible! You must be lying, right? You’re perfectly fine! Why should I go to jail? And... and..."
Mrs. Warren’s eyes darted around, and she said sharply, "Besides, I’m the one who’s hurt now. When the police get here, they’ll be arresting you!"
As she said this, Mrs. Warren thought her line of reasoning was simply brilliant.
’So what if her attempt at revenge had failed? Chloe Sinclair was unharmed, but she was the one in trouble now.’
’When the police arrived, who knew who they would arrest?’
At this thought, Mrs. Warren grew even more smug.
She completely ignored the surrounding students, who were all looking at her like she was an idiot.
To top it off, Mrs. Warren lifted her head smugly and spat at Chloe Sinclair. "Pah! When the police get here, they’re going to arrest you, you little bitch!"
Chloe Sinclair leaned slightly to one side, her expression darkening as she listened to Mrs. Warren’s vile insults.
She retorted, "We’ll see about that."
Soon, the school administrators arrived, dispersed the onlooking students, and then escorted both Mrs. Warren and Chloe Sinclair to an office.
The moment they entered the office, a group of teachers began fussing over Chloe.
Chloe Sinclair answered each of them.
After a moment of silence, Chloe Sinclair said, "Principal, this incident is quite serious. I hope the school can lend me a hand."
The principal nodded without a moment’s hesitation. "This isn’t a matter of ’lending a hand.’ The school was negligent here. We’ll be thanking our lucky stars if you don’t hold it against us. Please, just tell us whatever you need." freёwebnovel.com
Upon hearing this, Chloe Sinclair gave a faint smile, her face showing no trace of lingering fear.
She leaned back against the sofa, a lazy expression on her face. "I need the school to get me a copy of the security footage from the hallway today."
The principal quickly nodded. "A small matter, a small matter."
After saying this, he breathed an inward sigh of relief.
He may have been the principal, but the potential fallout from this incident was truly severe.
He had been on pins and needles, terrified that Chloe Sinclair would hold the school accountable.
Not only would he face criticism, but the reputation of Kennet First High School could be ruined on his watch.
After a moment’s hesitation, the principal said, "Your older brother is almost here. When he arrives, could you perhaps..."
"What!"
Chloe Sinclair shot up from the sofa, a flash of panic in her eyes.
"You told my brother?"
The principal nodded with a wry smile. "Yes."
’How could I not tell him? When a student is involved in such a major incident at school, there’s no way to hide it from her family.’
Just then, a series of urgent knocks sounded from outside the principal’s office.
The principal hurried to open the door.
Before Chloe Sinclair could even react, someone pulled her forcefully into an embrace.
"Bro... Brother?"
Chloe Sinclair froze. Even though she hadn’t seen who it was, the man’s scent was incredibly familiar.
It was her big brother’s.
"I’m okay, don’t worry."
Ethan Sinclair tensed, then murmured, "As long as you’re okay... As long as you’re okay."
