Everyone except for Sasha and Sabrina walked back inside.
It was almost time for Sasha to pick up her kids, so she prepared to leave.
âWhere are you staying? Send me the address so I can pop by and visit.â
âVisit? Canât you just come here and help me out?â
âWhat?â Sasha thought she was hallucinating. âHelp you out?â
Sabrina nodded. âYeah. Youâre not doing anything at Oceanic Estate anyway, and youâre not working at
that shabby hospital. Why not come by and help me when youâre free?â
âBut Iâve never done this stuff before.â
âYou just have to help me keep an eye on the money. Itâs kind of risky not having someone I trust working
in such a big bar with me. You wouldnât want to see me exhaust myself either, right?â
Wow. Sheâs playing the relative card.
Sasha couldnât exactly say no after that, so she agreed to come by during the day if she wasnât busy for
as long as Sebastian was gone.
Half an hour later, Sasha arrived at the elementary school.
While it wasnât as pretty as Opal Garden Academy, it was a rather good school since it was under the
military. It was well facilitated and was overall much better than other public schools out there.
Thatâs why children that donât manage to enter Opal Garden Academy would be sent here instead, using
whatever methods necessary.
After driving to the school, Sasha asked the guard at the gates, âHi, are the first graders out yet?â
There was no longer any need for personal bodyguards after transferring here. It was the military base,
after all, and it was under the Jadesons, so no one in their right minds would risk their lives to harm a few
kids.
Still, it had to be said that the schoolâs attitude was pretty bad.
âThey come out at 5 p.m. Didnât you check the parentsâ group chat?â the guard replied impatiently.
The parentsâ group chat?
She had just transferred her kids to the school, so how was she supposed to know about that?
All she could do was wait patiently at the gates.
Luckily, since it was rather close to the end of the school day, quite a few parents were also waiting at the
gates. Someone came over to talk to Sasha after overhearing her conversation.
âYou donât come to pick your kids up often, do you? Since you donât even know about the group chat.â
âYeah. Iâm usually quite busy,â Sasha randomly fibbed.
The parent immediately kept the conversation going. âThatâs not right. What could be more important
than your kids? Itâs pretty hard to even get into this school.â
âIs it?â
âOf course! Which class is your kid in? Iâll add you to the group chat.â
What an enthusiastic parent.
She told the parent all three of her kidsâ classes and got added into the WhatsApp group chat.
âDonât talk too much in this group chat, all right? Just answer the teachers once in a while and keep an
eye out for any announcements. If you donât watch yourself, you might even end up offending some kidâs
parents.â
Why does that sound so backhanded? Also, which parent should I be scared of offending anyway?
Arenât the teachers the most important people in a group chat like this?
Sasha really couldnât understand what the parent was trying to say until the teacher suddenly sent a
message.
Class Teacher: Dear parents, the kids had a test today and many of them did rather well.
Following closely was a picture of the class name list along with each kidâs results next to their names.
Sasha skimmed through the list and suddenly became extremely alert at the sight of a big fat â0â behind
her kidsâ names.
What are those two little brats up to?
Sasha started to feel a bit agitated.
After the parents saw the name list and results, they started discussing wildly.
Sallyâs Mom: Oh, my kid did all right. Itâs within my expectations.
Stanleyâs Dad: Good job to Sally! Your girlâs quite bright. I canât believe her results were only within your
expectations. As expected of a smart kid.
Mikeyâs Mom: I agree.
Janetâs Dad: @Stanleyâs Dad, your son did very well too. Ninety and above for all three subjects is
exceptional.
Sallyâs Mom: I agree. You donât have to be all modest.
In just a few minutes, the parents had flooded the group chat as they sang praises for each otherâs kids
and completely ignored the teacher.
All Sasha wanted to do was run in and interrogate her boys about their horrible results.
Suddenly, the group chat started talking about them.
Sallyâs Mom: Speaking of which, who are those two kids who got a zero? Are they new?
Mikeyâs Mom: I think so.
Sallyâs Mom: Still, zero marks? Didnât they transfer from Opal Garden Academy? How could they get
zero marks for a simple test?
Stanleyâs Dad: Hahaha. I know, right?
Those three simple words perfectly showed how much they looked down on Ian and Matteo.
Sasha was absolutely taken aback.
When their three kids had transferred over, Sebastian had made sure to tell Jonathan not to let anyone
know who they were. As such, everyone thought they were just normal children.
