Sophia looked at Stephen. "Do you need your father for something?"

"Yes," Stephen replied calmly. "I called him earlier. He should be here soon." Sophia pressed further, "What do you need him for?"

Stephen had a nonchalant look on his face as he drawled blandly, "It's about expelling Jacqueline from the Jacobsons."

"Jacqueline's been arrested?" Sophia widened her eyes in surprise. "When was she arrested?"

Stephen promptly responded, "They caught her at Arcton yesterday."

Sophia was taken aback by the news. "Have you told your grandparents about this?"

"Yes. Grandpa won't be able to come, but he said he'll leave the matter to me. I've also informed Grandma about this," Stephen said.

Sophia let out a weary sigh. "Your grandmother has always doted on Jacqueline. She might not agree to your decision."

"So what if she doesn't? No one, not even Grandma, can change my mind after I've made a decision," Stephen answered resolutely.
