But someone wasn't having it. "Dad, this is so important, how can you not ask a single question? You may believe Seraphina Sterling, but I don't! She can't think she's just going to get away with this! This is an extremely serious issue. If we let this slide, who knows what other crazy things she'll do in the future! We absolutely cannot cover for her! She's still young and can be disciplined. Once she's older, it'll be too late! Indulging her like this isn't loving her—it's harming her!"
Jasmine Faulkner snatched Seraphina Sterling's phone. Seeing the contact labeled 'Drill Instructor', she immediately hit dial.
RING... RING... RING! The living room was eerily silent. Jasmine Faulkner had put the call on speakerphone and cranked the volume to max. 'She wanted everyone to hear this call, to know the stupid thing Seraphina Sterling had done! This way, even if the Old Master wanted to defend Seraphina, he wouldn't have a single excuse!'
