Love Burned, She Rose Unscathed

Chapter 631

Eyes wide as saucers, shock painted all over her face.

Suddenly, Roseanne's words echoed in her ears...

Snapping back from her daze, Sybil's first instinct was to frantically tug at Aunt Edna's sleeve. "Auntie, she actually built a lab! What are we going to do?! The principal knows, too. Could all the stuff we've done be exposed?" In her panic, she even forgot to avoid any suspicion in her address.

"Shut it!" Edna glared fiercely, "What have we done? We've done nothing! Watch your mouth!"

Only Arkle and Carlson were genuinely sizing up the building, their eyes growing brighter the more they looked.

"Carlson, five stories... imagine the space in there?"

Carlson, arms crossed, was nothing but amazed, without a hint of surprise.

"Why don't we head in and see for ourselves?"

Arkle's eyes sparkled, "Really? We didn't get an invite though..."
