"I've heard about the incident, Amael," Christina said with a smile that didn't reach her eyes.
"You heard, sister? Aren't you proud of me?" I asked with a smirk while slipping on my shoes.
"Not at all! The Teraquin House, Tepes House, and Dolphis House are furious with us, brother!" Christina complained.
"Well…" I averted my face, unable to offer a convincing retort.
In my defense, the Tepes House furious against us was just because of an accident!
"I'm proud of you, Amael!" Mom approached me, tousling my hair with a proud grin.
Unable to resist, I smiled back at Mom.
"Mother! You shouldn't always spoil Amael! The Headmistress sent us several million for the damages caused in Zestel and in the Academy!" Christina interjected.
"It's just money, dear. Our image is much more important. Knowing that Melfina is now indebted to us is really putting me on cloud nine," Mom exclaimed with an ecstatic smile.
