The school was equipped with a signal–blocking device, so the phones had no signal.

At this moment, the police officer was able to answer the phone, and the headmaster was stunned and looked at him slightly uneasily..

Meanwhile, Paulina was fuming with rage upon hearing the officer mention a meager fifteen–day detention for Cordelia’s misconduct. “Fifteen days? That’s it?” she seethed, “My daughter can’t even step foot in school because of that brat, and this is unfair.”
