Chapter 153

At the Jordan Manor.

After Paulina said this, the headmaster refused, “The students are in study hall right now.”

Paulina’s expression tightened, her brows knitting together, “I’ll just pop over for a moment then. You’ll unlock the door for me later?”

With a sigh, the headmaster capitulated. “Alright, I’ll call her out for you. Just give me a minute.”

A smile of relief spread across Paulina’s face, “Thank you so much, sir.”

“We understand a parent’s concern,” he assured her, raising his voice to call out, “Merry, your mom’s on the line.” Shivering in her still–damp clothes, Merry shot up from her seat as if catapulted by a spring. That suffocating fear gripped her again, sending chills down her spine.

Approaching the door, the headmaster handed her the phone, “Talk to your mom, Merry. Be nice, okay?”

The headmaster gave her a threatening look, his eyes ruthless.

She nodded, taking the phone with trembling hands and whispering a timid “Hello?”

The strain in Merry’s voice was enough for Paulina to feel a tug at her heart, “Merry, how’s your day been?”

Merry was silent, her eyes fixed on the headmaster’s stern glare.

Paulina pressed on, “Why so quiet? I know you’re mad at me, but it’s for the best. Rest up tonight, follow the rules, and once you’re better, I’ll transfer you back, okay?”

“Mr. Walters,” the teacher called out, diverting the headmaster’s attention.

Seizing the moment, Merry covered the phone and hissed, “Help me. Help me!”
