Chapter 173

Paulina’s mouth opened instinctively, ready to continue defending Leila, but it was at this moment she realized she was at a loss for words.

Cain remained stern as he clenched his fists. Suddenly, he turned to the police officer, “Officer, Leila only shared her own photos. That can’t carry a heavy sentence, right?”

Skyler, who looked slightly disappointed, said, “As despicable as the act was, it didn’t really cause any tangible harm, so we can only detain her.”

Cain didn’t miss a beat, “We’ll get a lawyer and apply for bail.”

Skyler exhaled deeply, “Alright.”

Turning to the headmaster, Cain pressed on, “Leila is a student at your school. I presume you don’t want this scandal to tarnish the school’s reputation, do you?”

The headmaster frowned, “But the school must discipline Ms. Leila. Her actions were appalling and have severely impacted Merry. We must place a demerit on her record.”

A mark on her record would affect Leila’s entire life.

But after everything she had done wrong, Cain was no longer willing to plead on her behalf.

Cain nodded, “I have no objections.”

After the headmaster finished speaking, he added, “Leila is too cunning, and it’s alarming to see such behavior from someone who seemed so unassuming. You must take her home and discipline her. The college entrance exams are around the corner, and the fact that the school hasn’t expelled her is already the greatest mercy we can offer.”

“I understand,” Cain said, then he looked back at Skyler, “Officer, as this is a matter of reputation, I kindly ask the police to keep the details confidential, if possible?”

Skyler glanced at Cordelia.

The photos online were identified as Merry’s, but Skyler had checked, and all the other similar photos were fake.

These kids were all only eighteen. If the truth came out, Merry would also be implicated, and the situation could escalate.

After a moment of thought, Skyler finally spoke, “All the photos online are fake. There was never any photo shoot at the school, and it’s all just wild speculation.”

Once Cain and Paulina dealt with the situation, they turned to Merry.
