Reborn, She's Back for Revenge novel Chapter 56

Chapter 56

“Don’t be nervous.” Kerrie softened her tone a bit and looked at every student present.

Besides those who had rehearsed at noon, some art students were also called over, making a group of about thirty people.

She continued, “The school security department has investigated and found that some troublemakers sneaked into the school with inside het mo the planes and then destroyed the cameras.

“We’re not suspecting you–we just want to know if any of you saw anything or anyone suspicious”

This building is only accessible to students and teachers; one needs a key card to get in. It’s tough to track down outside troublemakers, but it’s easier with campus students.

By questioning the students who used their key cards to enter this afternoon, they could naturally find out what happened to the pianos.

Although calling the police might resolve it faster, no school wants such incidents to blow up, as it’s important to protect the school’s reputation

“When left, Edith was the only one in the music hall, still playing the plan, She must know something.”

“Edith, was it you?” Hallie suddenly covered her mouth, looking shocked. “No wonder you haven’t asked for any spending money recently. So that’s

Edith’s expression remained cold. She thought, I was careless. How did Halle see my bank balance? Has she been planning this all along, waiting for me to walk into her trap

“The system’s reward money can’t be easily explained. Maybe I should find a legitimate way to account for it, or those setups will never and

This has nothing to do with me” Edith said calmly. “And as for that 150 thousand dollars, I don’t owe you an explanation.”

“Edith, why are you so stubborn?” Hall looked utterly disappointed, “if you needed money, you could’ve told me, or asked Mom and Dad, asked Grandra. Wouldn’t they give it to you? Why would you do something illegal?

“Ms. Clark, I have something to say.” May raised her hand and stood up “When I was wandering around the music hall at noon, I saw Edit hiding in a corner, talking on the phone. She mentioned planos and security cameras..”

If Halle’s words were just forl, then May’s statement was like throwing gasoline on the fire. The room erupted in whispers.

Even Kerrie and Dan, who initially weren’t convinced of Edith’s guilt, now looked serious

don’t even know that girl. For her to take the initiative to make false claims just shows how unpopular this at school

Kerrie sighed. “Edith, this is a serious matter. We might need your parents to help sort this out

She had really believed in Edith and even considered sending her to Bonrea for a piano competition. However, she never expected something like this to happen.

She thought, “A student with such poor morals, no matter how talented at piano, isn’t it to compete. And this week’s performance–Edith can’t go on stage. We might have to let Halle perform solo instead.

Edith tucked a loose strand of hair behind her ear. Her gaze swept past Hafan

“What if you just run off with the money in those three days May couldn’t help but interject.

Edith glanced at her, a sneer farming on her lips. “150 thousand dollars might be a lot for a small family like yours, but for the Lovett family, it’s just pocket change.”

May’s eyes widened in shock. She thought, “The Merrinwick family is no small fry. Even if we’re facing a bit of a crisis, 150 thousand dollars is nothing to us. I’ve always mocked others for being poor, and now someone dares to mock me?”

Just as she was about to speak, Edith shifted the conversation.

“If I can’t figure this out in three days, then no matter whether I did it or not, I’ll accept any punishment from the school.” Edith’s voice was calm and collected. “I just ask that Ms. Clark and Mr. Humphrey believe me.”

Kerrie had only known Edith for a few days, and her instincts told her that someone so full of emotions wasn’t likely to engage in such sneaky behavior.

in Dan’s class, there were two daughters from the Lovett family. He had made sure to find out about them, and it was clear that the Lovett family wasn’t just any ordinary family

No matter how this situation played out, the Lovett family would have their backs covered, so the school wouldn’t end up suffering.

Dan nodded and turned to Karrie. “Since she’s one of our students, let me handle the discussion with the higher–ups.”

Kerrie pressed her lips together. “This happened because of my poor management. Mr. Humphrey, I’ll go with you.

The two teachers walked out, one after the other

Hallie coldly smirked, thinking, I did a thorough job cowering my tracks. Even if they were given thirty days, they wouldn’t find any evidence. This mess is definitely going to fall on Edith
