Debra’s eyes blazed with anger as she glanced at me, misunderstanding the situation. “Seriously? Physical punishment? Why are you still stuck in the past?”

The room fell silent, and the elders cast curious gazes my way.
Out of nowhere, one of them piped up, “Didn’t I hear some commotion earlier? How come you look perfectly fine, Caleb?”
“Ahem!”

Before I could utter a word, my father cleared his throat loudly, interrupting the tension. He marched over, his face red with fury. “Why are you meddling in this? Can’t I discipline my own son? Now get out of here, and don’t you dare disturb me again!”
Debra tried to reason with him, but he brushed her off, treating her like she had no authority at all.
“As the future Luna, you should know better. But it seems Like you have no sense of responsibility. I have to teach you too.”
Patrick slammed the door shut. Carlos barely escaped being caught in the door’s swing.
After slamming the door shut, my father gave Debra a stern once-over, donning a frosty expression. He boomed in that deep, disapproving voice of his, “Oh, so it was you who convinced Caleb to blow through all that money and waste his precious time.”
His face was etched with displeasure as he continued, “Debra, if it weren’t for you, Caleb would have gotten Roz Town a long time ago.”
“That’s not entirely fair.” Debra stood her ground in front of my father.
“You need to understand the heart of the partnership between the Thorn Edge Pack and Roz Town. It’s not just about raking in profits, it’s about resource exchange.”
“But the cost of bearing that exchange was too high and the Thorn Edge
Pack ended up suffering significant losses.”
“A good investor needs to think more Long-term,” Debra replied. “The
Thorn Edge Pack needs to grow and strengthen its position. Roz Town also relies on us to propel its development and secure a better future for the next generation. It’s a win-win, you see.”

She added firmly, “No matter how high the cost, it’s worth it as long as it remains within reason. Caleb has poured an insane amount of time and money into winning over the locals and fostering a strong bond between the Thorn Edge Pack and Roz Town. All of this was an investment in the future and growth of his beloved pack. Why do you blame him?”
My father did not know how to refute her.
Deep down, I felt a cozy warmth in my heart.
Debra must have assumed I was being punished and was genuinely concerned for me. She took her frustration out on my father, defending me fiercely.
“Debra, you are talking nonsense!”
My father’s persuasive powers failed, and his frustration took a darker turn. He raised his whip, ready to lash out in anger.
In a surprising twist, Debra, stood firm in front of me, refusing to back down. With a hint of nervousness, she closed her eyes, prepared for the strike.
Bang!
The tense silence was shattered by an abrupt sound. My father had tossed the whip aside.
