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.
“Where are you staying? Send me the address so I can pop by and visit.”
“Visit? Can’t you just come here and help me out?”
“What?” Sasha thought she was hallucinating. “Help you out?”
Sabrina nodded. “Yeah. You’re not doing anything at Oceanic Estate anyway, and you’re not working at that shabby hospital. Why not come by and help me when you’re free?”
“But I’ve never done this stuff before.”
“You just have to help me keep an eye on the money. It’s kind of risky not having someone I trust working in such a big bar with me. You wouldn’t want to see me exhaust myself either, right?”
Wow. She’s playing the relative card.
Sasha couldn’t exactly say no after that, so she agreed to come by during the day if she wasn’t busy for as long as Sebastian was gone.
Half an hour later, Sasha arrived at the elementary school.
While it wasn’t 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.
That’s why children that don’t 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, “Hi, are the first graders out yet?”
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 school’s attitude was pretty bad.
“They come out at 5 p.m. Didn’t you check the parents’ group chat?” the guard replied impatiently.
The parents’ 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.
“You don’t come to pick your kids up often, do you? Since you don’t even know about the group chat.”
“Yeah. I’m usually quite busy,” Sasha randomly fibbed.
The parent immediately kept the conversation going. “That’s not right. What could be more important than your kids? It’s pretty hard to even get into this school.”
“Is it?”
“Of course! Which class is your kid in? I’ll add you to the group chat.”
What an enthusiastic parent.
She told the parent all three of her kids’ classes and got added into the WhatsApp group chat.
“Don’t 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 don’t watch yourself, you might even end up offending some kid’s parents.”
Why does that sound so backhanded? Also, which parent should I be scared of offending anyway? Aren’t the teachers the most important people in a group chat like this?
Sasha really couldn’t 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 kid’s results next to their names.
Sasha skimmed through the list and suddenly became extremely alert at the sight of a big fat ‘0’ behind her kids’ 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.
Sally’s Mom: Oh, my kid did all right. It’s within my expectations.
Stanley’s Dad: Good job to Sally! Your girl’s quite bright. I can’t believe her results were only within your expectations. As expected of a smart kid.
Mikey’s Mom: I agree.
Janet’s Dad: @Stanley’s Dad, your son did very well too. Ninety and above for all three subjects is exceptional.
Sally’s Mom: I agree. You don’t have to be all modest.
In just a few minutes, the parents had flooded the group chat as they sang praises for each other’s 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.
Sally’s Mom: Speaking of which, who are those two kids who got a zero? Are they new?
Mikey’s Mom: I think so.
Sally’s Mom: Still, zero marks? Didn’t they transfer from Opal Garden Academy? How could they get zero marks for a simple test?
Stanley’s 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.
