Second Chances

Chapter 180 

Emma was going to participate in it. 

“Yeah.” She nodded, making no attempt to hide it. 

Even though she already knew the cause of Dummy’s death, participating in the Krot Competition was part of her 

and Liam’s plan. 

One of the students said, “Miss Wilson. It’s great that you can participate. You’ll definitely win an award.” 

“Hey, stop talking! Stop talking! The teacher is back.” 

Maya suddenly returned to the classroom with a serious expression. 

The atmosphere changed immediately. 

Maya’s tone was a little worried. “Someone from the Ministry of Education just came by and said that an important secret chip from our school archives is missing and they suspect it was stolen. If anyone has seen it or found it, report it immediate/ This is a serious matter. Individuals involved in it could face life imprisonment.” 

Upon hearing “life imprisonment“, the classroom fell silent. 

Everyone looked at each other, feeling a little frightened. 

“What’s going on? Isn’t the school archives usually off–limits?” 

“I didn’t even know there’s such a place in our school. Where is it exactly?” 

“It shouldn’t be stolen by a student, right? What use would a chip like that be?” 

While everyone was discussing, Emma subconsciously puckered her brown. 

She recalled Faith suddenly wanting to give her a gift on the field in the morning. At that time, she found it very strange as Faith was unaccountably friendly, so she reckoned that Faith must be up to something. 

Now it seemed that the gift was highly suspicious. 

She had to be on guard. 

In the afternoon, Emma asked Faith to meet with her. 

“What was that thing you wanted to give me this morning? Take it out and let me see,” said Emma. 

Faith was shocked. She did not expect Emma to suspect her so quickly.

Fortunately, she had the foresight to replace the item with something else earlier. 

Faith said innocently, “This brooch I made… I want to give it to you.” 

Emma took a look and held it in her hand to examine it. 

She couldn’t be sure if the brooch was the gift Faith had intended to give her in the morning. 

But for now, the brooch seemed normal, and there was no chip inside. 

Emma glanced at it and handed it back. 

“It’s ugly.” 

She still didn’t accept it and left after saying that.

Emma did not like Faith. She couldn’t pinpoint why, but she felt that Faith was hypocritical, so she didn’t show any 

kindness to the latter. 

Once again, Faith felt humiliated. She stood stiffly on the spot, and her face was gloomy. 

Anger and shame enveloped her, prompting her to expedite her revenge. 

Faith pushed forward the plan that afternoon. and Simon was fully aware of her every move. 

In the study, Derek asked, “Mr. Hall, Faith has taken action earlier. Should we stop her?” 

According to the original plan, Faith was supposed to act in a few days. 

But Emma’s rejection infuriated her and made her lose her sanity. 

Therefore, she started the plan earlier. 

Simon had expected that Faith might be impulsive, but he didn’t think she would be so easily provoked. Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.

“Hmph, another useless fool.” Fortunately, he was prepared. “Edit this video and send it to the management of 

Charon Military School.” 

Derek glanced at it and roughly guessed what Simon wanted to do. 

He thought, ‘Mr. Hall has been prepared, waiting for the right moment to strike!‘ 

Derek looked at the thing and figured that Emma would probably be in serious trouble this time. 

He just nodded and said, “Alright, Mr. Hall. I’ll see to it now.”

Charon Military School. 

Emma had handed in her phone during training, so she had no idea what was happening. 

After Simon sent the video footage, Charon Military School acted immediately. 

This matter quickly reached Liam’s ears. 

Therefore, when Emma was called to the office by the teacher, she saw not only the police but also Liam. 

She vaguely sensed something. Instead of entering the room, she calmly observed from outside. 

She saw the police had brought handcuffs. 

Judging from the situation, she could roughly tell the seriousness of it. 

Hence, she had to be extremely careful with her words and actions. 

Emma took a deep breath and pushed open the door with a calm expression. 

Seeing her, Maya anxiously said, “Emma, we all know you couldn’t have done anything that would harm the interests of the masses, but now a video has surfaced at this juncture, which is very unfavorable to you.” 

Emma walked over and glanced at the computer screen.

The video on the computer was the surveillance footage that showed her sneaking into the school archives that 

night. 

She remembered that she had skillfully avoided all the surveillance cameras that day. 

However, the camera in this video was one she had completely missed. 

That day, she had gone to find information about Justine and hadn’t touched anything else. 

However, now that the video had been exposed, she had naturally become the prime suspect. 

Her expression was calm. Her chin twitched slightly as she intoned, “I can prove I didn’t take anything out that night.” 

Liam’s eyes lit up when he heard that. “Emma, it would be great if you have concrete evidence or a witness.” 

“Yes.” Emma nodded. “There was another person there that night who can testify for me.” 

The police asked, “Who?” 

Emma replied, “Mr. Rivera.”

Richard Rivera. 

Everyone present knew this name. 

He was a hero with a reputation for integrity, and also Emma’s uncle. 

Technically, testimony between relatives isn’t always considered entirely credible. 

But when the school reviewed the surveillance footage again, they indeed saw Richard that night. 

If he was involved, things would get more complicated. 

The police had initially intended to arrest Emma. 

However, the involvement of Richard meant it was beyond their purview and required higher authorities to step in 

As they were discussing whether to take Emma away, Jerome Zahn, the founder of Charon Military School, said, “Everyone, please calm down. I can vouch for Richard. He’s my student. He will never do anything to betray the country. With him overseeing, I believe Emma won’t either!” 

Jerome was highly respected in the community. 

The police followed the protocol and gave Emma a little buffer time. 

Before leaving, the lead police officer respectfully said to Liam, “Mr. Hall, the higher–ups are paying a lot of attention to this matter. I’m guessing that before long, there will be new instructions. The best course of action for you now is to find the chip within 48 hours. If not, once the situation is reported after 48 hours, things will become more complicated.” 

It was a serious matter. By then, it would be beyond the control of Liam or Richard. 

Even though Emma was undoubtedly innocent, no one knew how things would 

Any misstep could result in her facing life imprisonment! 

As the crowd dispersed, the atmosphere in the room grew heavy. 

pan out. 

The composed and dignified Liam said, “Levi, take your team and find the chip within 48 hours.”
