"I failed."
Those two words are what Scarlet kept repeating in her head as she watched the detective and Mr. Baron walk out of the principal's office. Sparking out at Johan like that was not her intention. She had actually thought she could use that to distract the officer, but in the end, he asked her to come down to their station. Now she will not be able to avoid further problems.
"I can't believe Mr. Griles stabbed us in the back after I already settled his son's bills," Mrs. Wells said in frustration, clearly annoyed.
Scarlet blinked away from staring at the door and she slowly turned to look at her.
"Who is the student who has gone missing?" she asked without holding back, knowing she would have answers to it, and also knowing there was something she was hiding. No matter how she tries, it seems Mrs. Wells cannot be read and Scarlet wanted so desperately to know what was going on in her mind.
