"Scrap that agreement. You should come to the penthouse and live here with Mackie instead," Vernon said. He was annoyed but tried not to be too obvious about it.
"Are you sure? Does that mean we're on a truce? Can I get my phone then?" Chloe asked. She stretched her hand and opened her palm, ready to accept her phone in Vernon's possession.
"Hey, hey! I'm just allowing you to live in the penthouse! The bet is still on, and your phone is still in my possession until we get to see what Dorothea will do!"
"Alright then," Chloe nodded. "Then, should we talk about Mackie's transfer? The school will start tomorrow, so I'm thinking if I should come with Mackie and talk to the Principal about her transfer."
"No need," Vernon said. "I've told my friend working in the school to handle the transfer."
"Huh? Handling the transfer?" Chloe frowned. "You mean, I don't need to come to the school?"
