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."

As a homeroom teacher, Ms. Sandford was aware all these students came from influential

families. If not, then they were gifted in other areas, especially in academics. Despite that, she

held a strong integrity of keeping everyone equal.

Patricia huffed and pointed at Penny again. "Teacher, what else is there to prove? There was never a case of stealing in this class until she came in here!"

Miss Sandford frowned. "Patricia, have you not considered that you might've dropped it

elsewhere?"

"How could that be?! I already noticed it was missing last Friday when I got home! I went home right after school and noticed that my necklace was missing! I checked my service, but it's not

entrance, Mr. Anderson, the middle-aged teacher with a naturally cunning look, strutted in arrogantly. Seeing him, Miss Sandford frowned. Mr. Anderson was one of the most arrogant teachers, and he was also her senior. He had been teaching in the school for years and was expected to handle this grade's top section, only for Miss Sandford to get the position. In other words, Mr. Anderson and Miss Sandford hadn't been on good terms because
