Knowing that, Yazmin felt as though her entire world had just been flipped.
After all, she had assumed that since Naomi probably didn’t have anyone capable backing her up, her husband could easily get rid of her. While it was true that she had met Gerald yesterday, Yazmin simply thought he was some ordinary man who would suffer terribly by her hand today!
Never could she have imagined that he would be this filthy rich!
Now sweating profusely and genuinely unsure of what to even do next, her heart skipped a beat the moment she saw a police car driving into the school.
Though there had only been two police officers the day before, four of them stepped out of the car today.
Scanning the crowd, one of the officers glared at Yazmin before saying, “Good day, Miss Milton, and I see that Miss Yallop is here too! There’s been some progress on the case… Why don’t we discuss this in the principal’s office…?”
“F-fine by me…!” replied Yazmin, her gut telling her that something was insanely wrong.
Once they were in the office, the pressuring atmosphere there caused great discomfort to Yazmin. After all, everyone was now looking at her differently.
“…We’ve received new evidence about the theft, and after some digging, we found a new lead! Apparently, someone had been forcing a student to act on their behalf, and in extremely cruel ways too!” explained one of the officers to the principal.
“Thanks for your hard work, officers!”
Hearing that, Yazmin’s face turned even paler as her heart skipped a beat. Gulping, she turned to look at her husband, a clear sign that she was asking for his help.
However, the moment he took a step back, Yazmin finally realized where her feelings of insecurity were stemming from.
Yazmin’s husband knew for a fact that he couldn’t get involved any further into the matter. The young man who was currently standing before him… His background was definitely not a simple one, and with that in mind, her husband knew better than to challenge such a person.
He also knew that if he continued helping Yazmin, he wouldn’t be able to get away easily. Though he honestly wanted to just run out of the office at that moment, he was well aware that a few security guards were currently patrolling right outside the office’s door.
