Everyone turned to Look at her in shock. She actually admitted to the authenticity of the evidence!

Was Maria out of her mind?

Flabbergasted, everyone looked at her as though this was the case.

"Is that so? Then you admit that you did steal something from the store?" Mrs. Jenkins asked in surprise.

Perhaps it was because the evidence was irrefutable that Maria decided to cave.

But did Maria really think she could settle this matter with a measly $ 9, 8007

Of course not! The Jenkins family was a big clan that had existed since ancient martial. Twenty years ago, it was one of the top clans in the world, standing at the top in the martial field.

There was no need for Mrs. Jenkins to emphasize how strict the rules of the Jenkins family were and that they'd never condone such behavior within the clan.

As long as Maria admitted her wrong doing, Canaan and the other senior members of the Jenkins family would never be allowed to even mention her training again.

Even her title as champion of the competition and her rewards would be nullified!

"Well..." Mrs. Jenkins nodded.

She couldn't help but crack a wrinkly smile, but the next second, she immediately put on a sad expression.

“What a pity!"

Mrs. Jenkins' tone became solemn, and her entire temperament suddenly changed into that of a sympathetic soul.

Mrs. Jenkins slowly looked around the room.

“The values of the Jenkins family have been passed down for hundreds of years-values of integrity and honesty.

When our ancestors first started the family business, no matter how difficult things got, they never violated these two virtues.

Up until now, any descendant of the Jenkins family had to be diligent, self-sufficient, and persevering in their martial arts training. We are not allowed to crave for worldly things nor violate the laws for selfish interests. And we absolutely will not tolerate someone who would disgrace our honorable family name!"

At this last part, Mrs. Jenkins raised her voice, which was rare for someone her age.

The angry voice echoed violently in the hall, as though Mrs. Jenkins had become the spokesperson of justice. Maria, on the other hand, was like a criminal on trial.

"As the acting chairman of the Jenkins family, I declare that in view of Maria's despicable behavior, all her rewards will be nullified, and she will immediately be handed over to the police for due process—"

“Wait a minute," Maria interrupted Mrs. Jenkins, who was excitedly delivering her rehearsed speech.

“What is it? Do you have anything else to say, Maria?”

Although a bit annoyed, Mrs. Jenkins addressed her seriously, Like a fair judge.
