"Dad, how could you go back on your word!?" 'Even though Dad doesn't really like me, at least here in Tridell I have Leo and that beautiful older sister to keep me company.'
'It's way better than being in Country M.'
'Besides, Mom's hometown is also in Tridell. Maybe... I can even find her...'
"Shirley Lockwood, if you want to stay in Tridell and study properly, you'd better drop that attitude of yours and stop causing trouble."
"Dad, you say that as if I'm always causing trouble..." Shirley Lockwood replied, her eyes darting around innocently as she pouted in dissatisfaction.
Archie Lockwood scoffed coldly. "Fighting and stirring up trouble—I don't want to hear those words from anyone else's mouth again."
"Don't worry! This time, I, your daughter, will definitely be a model student!" Shirley Lockwood immediately offered an apologetic smile, her confidence already faltering.
