“I thought you were the one being picked on. That’s why I asked Grandpa to come. Karan, how could you accuse me of something like that?”
“You…”
“Enough.”
As the tension between the sisters heated up, Gallagher’s voice cut through the argument. He looked at them with a cold expression. “The thief only named you, Karan. Don’t drag your sister into this just because you’re upset.”
“Grandpa…”
Karan stared at him in shock. The way his gaze shifted, avoiding her eyes, made everything painfully clear. He was going to protect Pandora at all costs.
“We’ll discuss this when we get home,” Gallagher said, eyes lingering on Karan. His words were simple, but his stare spoke volumes. There was warning in his look.
She was already expelled from school. Her dream of being a grad student was over. Her reputation in the physics world was already tarnished, so her chances of landing a good job with only a bachelor’s degree were next to none. Now her only hope was her grandfather. If she upset him now… she knew she couldn’t handle the fallout.
After a long, heavy silence, Karan slowly lifted her head. Her eyes looked empty, her voice cracked. “I’m sorry, Grandpa. None of this was Pandora’s fault. It was all me.”
Pandora breathed out, finally relieved.
“Patricia, Charlotte…” Satisfied with Karan’s answer, Gallagher’s face softened just a little. He turned to Patricia and Charlotte, who hadn’t said a word, and tried to force a smile. “Looks like we’ve sorted this out. Karan’s paid the price. Let’s just put this behind us, okay?”
