“You’ve set me up!


    I can get the police involved!”


    “Save the call.


    ”


    Lydia’s clear voice rang out as she parted the crowd and stepped forward.


    Arching an eyebrow at Sadie, she remarked, “I’ve already brought the police.


    If you have a defense, now’s your chance.


    ”


    Following Lydia were several police officers in uniform.


    Calmly, she addressed one, “Officer, this woman spread false rumors online.


    I suggest you take her for a thorough investigation.


    ”


    The officer in charge saluted them, then showed Sadie his badge.


    “You’re used of defamation and spreading false information.


    You’ll need toe with us.


    ”


    Seeing the police, panic consumed Sadie.


    “My brother is Den Edwards! You can’t just detain me!”


    But her protests were in vain.


    The police escorted her out as the parents, realizing they had been misled by Sadie, silently dispersed.


    The school board member rose and remarked to the principal, “The Edwards family represents other parents at Halliday University.


    This isn’t good.


    Such a family shouldn’t be representing us.


    ”


    The principal grasped his meaning.


    The Edwards family would be ousted from elite school circles, and reentry wouldn’t be easy.


    Following the scandal, Edwards Group’s stocks plummeted by 5 percentage points!


    In the midst of his frantic work, Den got a distraught call from Leah, urging him to fetch Sadie from the station.

    Eliana listened on until Leah ended the call.


    She gently massaged Den’s temples, murmuring, “Sadie made a mistake, but she’s still young.


    This isn’t entirely on her.


    I hadn’t foreseen the gravity of the situation.


    I assumed Miss Moore would caution Sadie, knowing her fiery nature.All rights ? N?velDrama.Org.


    Even if she bears grudges against us, taking it out on Sadie is unjust.


    If only she had warned Sadie sooner, given that this all began with one of Sadie’s outbursts.


    Sadie was simply naive, not anticipating any maniption.


    ”


    Her brow creased, voicing her concerns.


    “Den, you shouldn’t overexert yourself for the firm’s image.


    ”


    A hint of anger simmered within Den as he retorted, “She’s the kind to go to any lengths to get her way! Your heart’s too pure.


    You can’t fathom the depths of her wickedness.


    ”


    Lydia was with Hannah at the police station, jotting down notes.


    Hannah presented the officers with all the evidence she’d gathered.


    Despite being under the watchful eyes of two officers, Sadie’s demeanor was defiant.


    “Just wait.


    My brother will be here any minute, and he’ll set you straight!”


    Hannah, a soft smile gracing her lips, inquired of an officer, “Officer, what’s the potential sentence for someone spreading malicious rumors and defaming, thus harming my reputation and rights?”


    The officer answered with a sense of seriousness, “Defamation carries a sentence of up to three years in prison.
