I scoffed, Of course, I do.
Refusing to let her take on the role of a wise elder lecturing a rebellious kid, I continued defiantly, Are you going to tell me that Shirley is the daughter of the clan leader and is next in line to lead the witches? In my opinion, if she keeps acting out, abusing her status to cause trouble like this, then the witches are headed straight for disaster.
Debras POV:
The woman fixed me with a narrowed gaze that seemed to pierce through the air. After a prolonged stare-down, she emitted a cold snort and turned on her heel, exiting the manor without so much as a word.
