“With that being said, I'd like to be more involved in this school. | do own it after all, and | believe that's only fair. Don't you think, Miss Prescott?” Alpha Jonathan asked her, much to her surprise.
She nodded quickly.

Just a small café that'll be run by students.” “That's a wonderful idea, Alpha,” Headmaster Prescott agreed.
“Which is why | wanted my daughter here; Sarah, get in here,” he ordered without even looking at the doorway.
