The moment she found out about that, Yazmin nearly went mad with rage. As long as Naomi existed, Yazmin felt that she would always remain in her shadow.
“…Humph! Don’t you know how late you are? You almost had me wondering whether you were too frightened to come for fear you’d get tossed into jail immediately! You even brought some guy with you! Are you planning to scare me with him or something? Just look at how shabby he looks!” said Yazmin right off the bat.
Simply choosing to ignore her, Naomi then began explaining her point of view to the officers and the principal.
In the end, they weren’t able to arrive at an immediate conclusion. With that said, the officers then told them that they would probably return again the day after. They also told Naomi to be prepared at all times, stating that as long as they could contact her at all times, she should be fine.
The moment the officers left after saying that, Yazmin immediately turned to look at Naomi before shouting coldly, “Humph! Even if there isn’t an immediate conclusion, I assure you that the incident won’t end until the culprit is caught! And here I was thinking that you were a woman with good temperament before this… To think that you’d actually steal the scholarship money! Don’t you have a guilty conscience at all? It’s truly a wonder how you were chosen to be the most exceptional teacher in the first place!”
“Honestly, you of all people should know what exactly took place… Best be careful now… Don’t get into too much trouble or you’ll end up hurting yourself instead!” sneered Gerald as he glared icily at Yazmin.
Suddenly being stared at like that, Yazmin felt herself go pale as she gulped slightly.
Naomi herself turned to look at Gerald in bewilderment.
‘…Why would he say such a thing…? Is he assuming that Yazmin stole the money and placed the blame on me instead…? But that’s impossible! Yazmin was out on a business trip when the incident happened… Besides, she wasn’t even aware that I had taken the scholarship out at that point in time… Heck, not even my mom knew back then! With that in mind, I’m the only possible person to know about this… It’s the reason why Yazmin immediately placed the blame on me…’ Naomi thought to herself.
