Chapter 1458 Greed
Sasha and Sebastian had officially settled down in Oceanic Estate from that day onward.
Vivian and Matteo had moved in with them as well.
They were already twelve years old, so it was time for them to attend junior high and choose a new school.
Thus, Sebastian had decided to let them move over with them.
Jonathan had enthusiastically listed out all the best schools in Jadeborough for them to choose. While Matteo was okay with it, Vivian was not interested in any of them, as she was obsessed with fashion and jewelry design.
Sasha could not help but wonder, “She’s not thinking about attending an art school, is she?”
“What?” Sebastian asked.
Only then did Sasha tell him about the conversation she had with the other mothers back in Avenport during a parent-teacher conference.
In fact, she had already contacted those ladies, as their kids went to an art academy specializing in jewelry design.
Jonathan, who had a conventional mindset, was reluctant for his great-granddaughter to learn such a thing.
“Isn’t it great to go to a normal school? She can enter a good university in the future and be successful in the future.”
“My child doesn’t need to be that successful.”
Sebastian did not respect Jonathan’s opinion at all.
As such, Jonathan held his tongue.
When Devin came home and heard them discussing the matter, he supported Vivian’s preference as well.
He said, “If that’s the case, then send her to the school she likes. I remember Edmund saying that he knows the principal of Royal Academy in Yartran. If Vivi wants to, she can give it a try. It’s the enrolment period right now.”
“Really? That’s a great school!”
Sasha’s eyes lit up as soon as she heard that.
The school was mentioned frequently in the ladies’ group chat, as it was the dream school of most of them.
Unfortunately, no one was qualified to enter the school.
Of course, Sebastian knew about that particular school as well, and he did not show any objection.
Vivian, who had been waiting outside, overheard the excellent news and leaped in joy.
“Okay, I’ll go to that school. Mommy, let me tell my best friend about this.”
Upon saying that, Vivian took her tablet and contacted her friend.
All the adults were amused by her reaction.
Just as they thought the matter was settled, Vivian suddenly showed up around evening, her eyes brimming with tears.
“Mommy, can I bring Elaine with me? She’s sad after hearing that I am leaving for a place so far away. She’s been crying for the whole day.”
“Huh?”
Sasha was dumbfounded.
Elaine? That’s a little unrealistic, isn’t it? We’re talking about going overseas and entering a new school here.
Sasha knelt before Vivian and began explaining patiently, “Vivi, we are going to a new school. It’s not like the time when you invited them to our place for fun back in Frontier Bay.”
Vivian responded, “I know that. I’ve told Elaine about it. But she said her mom said they were okay with it if we would take her there.”
Sasha did not know how to respond.
What’s going on?
That night, Sasha told Sebastian about it when they were lying in bed.
“Do you think the kid’s parents did it deliberately?”
“Obviously,” Sebastian, who was reading a book, replied casually.
The two of them did not further discuss the matter after that, as they thought it was unnecessary.
A few days later, when Edmund came to take Vivian to meet his friend from school, Vivian suddenly pulled a long face. She was unwilling to go.
“I’m not going…”
“What?”
Everyone in the room was bewildered.
Not going? Isn’t that her dream school?
Sasha bent down and asked gently, “What’s wrong? Vivi, why aren’t you willing to go all of a sudden?”
“Mommy, Elaine, and the rest all went to Blossom Art Academy. I have no more good friends. I don’t want to study anymore, and I don’t want to learn jewelry design anymore. Let me go to school together with Matt.”
Vivian sat down despondently.
Sasha and Sebastian were lost for words.
After a long while, they eventually asked Edmund to leave first. Sebastian then grabbed Vivian’s phone and began scrolling through it.
Indeed, Vivian was the most innocent child. Her two brothers had been protecting her since she was young, and she had a kind heart.
She would not know even if someone was trying to trick her most of the time.
After reading through all her messages with her friends, Sebastian put the phone down and signaled Sasha to contact Elaine’s parents right away.
A few minutes later, Sasha made the call.
“Hello, is this Elaine’s mother?”
“Yes. Who am I speaking to?”
The other party sounded nervous when she answered the call.
