Chapter 272

Obinna froze.

She saw it in his eyes, that flicker of recognition.

Because deep down, he knew it was true.

He had enforced the punishment, not her.

But of course, he couldn’t admit that.

His pride was too big, too loud.

It wouldn’t let him retreat even an inch.

So he didn’t respond to her accusation.

Not directly.

Instead, he changed the subject with the grace of a politician avoiding scandal.

Between the daily chaos, Ebere’s situation, and dodging punishments left and right, that file had slipped her mind like water through a crack.

“I’ve been busy,” she muttered.

“Busy?” he snapped.

“Busy doing what exactly?

Talking back?

Causing trouble?

You’ve had months, Nnenna.
