Pampered by my three brothers: the return of the neglected heiress

78 Witness, not an evidence.

Stealing was a big word to say in this school. So when the homeroom teacher heard this, her lips quickly curved down. What more? It was too early, and the class hadn't even started, but something like this was already happening, which never happened before.

"Patricia, calm down first," said the homeroom teacher as she went in front of the class, placing her book down on her table. "Stealing is a huge word. Tell me what exactly happened. Every single detail." The room fell into silence, and the teacher cast the class president a look.

The girl in the corner slowly rose to her seat and explained the situation in a more detailed

manner.

"I see." The homeroom teacher nodded in understanding. She snapped her eyes at Patricia and said, "Patricia, I know your things are valuable to you. I'm saying all of our belongings are valuable to us and losing them isn't a pleasant feeling. However, I hope that you have enough

evidence to prove Penny stole something that belongs to you."

held a strong integrity of keeping everyone equal.
