Chapter 73
Stephanie's Point of View

"I... I don't know why you called for me, Professor," I said, my voice trembling as it barely escaped my quivering lips.
He shot me a sharp look that pierced the solemn silence of the office, as if his eyes were searching for the truth in the depths of my soul. "Yes, you do. You know exactly why, Stephanie," he said in a calm, confident tone.
I swallowed hard, my throat feeling parched. "Do you want to punish me?" I asked, weak and defeated.
"Very good," he replied coldly, watching my reaction. "Your deduction is spot on, and your answer this time is correct."
