My Scheming Little Devil-Chapter 2089: Terms of Exchange

Now, I am completely isolated and helpless. More importantly, no one knows that I was taken away, and this matter could easily end in silence, with a forced confession.

Thinking of these things, my heart can’t help but tremble. My whole life would be ruined—not only would I not be accepted by Imperial College, but I would also be duly thrown into prison to serve a ten-year sentence.

Forget about going home. Even in prison, there would always be the possibility of being quietly killed.

This is a real crisis that I’ve never encountered since coming to this world.

Yiyi couldn’t help but clench her palms, cold sweat seeping from her forehead. She thought she had managed to endure her hardships and that her future days could go smoothly. She thought too simply, believing that as long as she severed ties with Governor Yun and lived quietly, avoiding any political issues, she would not be troubled.

Yet, the factions here always viewed her as an outsider, a thorn in their side. They absolutely would not allow her to be accepted into the prestigious schools they valued, nor let her shine in a way that would overshadow them. She was like an ant trapped in an enemy camp, anyone could come and step on her, easily crushing her.

All her efforts were like a mantis trying to stop a chariot—everything was mercilessly rolled over.

The suppressed anger in her heart was like a cracked ground, with scorching lava erupting from the depths, giving rise to intense resentment and hatred. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

"Then what do you want?" She suppressed her anger and spoke calmly.

The other party said, "The evidence is conclusive. Of course, we hope you’ll admit to the facts, so the case can be closed, saving us all a lot of trouble."

"Trouble?" Trouble from coercion? It seemed the other party was determined to make her submit. Even if she didn’t want to admit guilt, they would find ways to make her admit it. As for the methods, the other party probably wouldn’t care. After all, she was someone with a sensitive status, and the interrogation process would definitely not be disclosed to the public. They only wanted the result of her confession.

To resist to the end would only bring about torture and coercion, and make them lose patience with her.

It might be better to cooperate and negotiate terms.

"It seems I have no choice but to admit it. With so much damning evidence, even if I say I didn’t steal, no one would believe me. Fine, I’m willing to sign this document."

The interrogation staff visibly brightened and breathed a sigh of relief. After all, reducing the workload and avoiding coercion was good. Coercion is illegal anyway, and if discovered, it wouldn’t be good for him either.

"But I also have a condition—let me see my mother one last time. After I’m imprisoned, no one will take care of her. At least let me explain her living situation." Yiyi proposed her condition.

The other party paused and thought for a while. As long as she signed and admitted to the crime, any small moves afterwards would be useless. Moreover, they would have people monitoring her meeting with Madam Aisha closely, preventing her from saying words of rescue. Granting her this favor seemed harmless.

So, the interrogation personnel agreed to this.

Yiyi was allowed to meet Madam Aisha in a designated room.

"What exactly happened? Did they trouble you?" Madam Aisha anxiously rushed over to ask upon seeing Yiyi enter.

Yiyi smiled bitterly, "I once took back an album from the villa. It’s quite valuable, and they believe I took it without permission, charging me with theft."

Madam Aisha was shocked, "You took it back for me. How can that be considered stealing?"

"No matter what, the surveillance proved it was me who took it. I have no words."
