Mrs. Ward reminded her,
"Three years ago, Emma was 15 years old, but she's 18 now. She's not a child anymore, is she? At the very least, she's an adult who can take responsibility before the law."
This was a warning to Mrs. Watson. If Emma committed another crime, she would send her to prison without hesitation and let Emma receive the punishment she deserved.
Mrs. Wade hung up the phone, and Mrs. Watson sat on the sofa, feeling a little weak.
She didn't expect that Mrs. Wade would dig up the incident of falling into the water from three years ago.
At that time, a cleaner's daughter fell into the lake. Emma and her two friends were playing next to her, and they were seen bullying the girl, so they were thought to be related to the fall.
