"What's with the stubbornness?" Solomon asked angrily.
"Why won't you come to class? This is such an opportunity for you. Are you going to give up your dream just like that?
"Did you make all those works for nothing?
"Alright, just come back immediately after you get better. I won't take any of your excuses."
Solomon directly hung up the phone.
Kristen knew that Solomon was deliberately upsetting her.
In the past two years in school, Solomon had been very good to Kristen, and he entered her in many competitions.
By contrast, he was not nice to Emilee.
He had never really admired Emilee's works.
Therefore, even though the Mayer family had put pressure on him before, Solomon insisted on only sending Kristen's art to participate in contests because she was clearly the best student.
When the plagiarism incident happened later, Solomon could no longer protect Kristen even if he really wanted to.
