Seraphina was stunned. "Stop bullshitting! You're an old hermit without a wife! Where did you get a granddaughter from?"
Harold snorted. "This girl is right. I don't care what you say. Today, I want all four of these children to join Central Academy. Don't forget the final score is decided by the three of us together. You say Lily deserves one point, and I think she's earned at least four. That should give her enough to enter the outer court."
"Enough with your nonsense." Seraphina's voice dripped with wrath. "We decided on this earlier. What are you trying to pull now? No, I refuse."
Ray lowered his head, a trace of doubt growing in his heart. That grandteacher sure changed his mind quickly!
"Then what will it take for you to accept?" It was obvious Harold was not taking her stubbornness well.
Seraphina eyed him, cold enough to freeze. "Have you forgotten why we're having Raymond take a makeup trial?"
