Rose came to her senses as she stared at Jay who seemed angry. She turned to speak to the staff, "My Zetty might be younger than her brother, but they have always been in the same class. I hope that they can be together in the higher-level class in Horizon Kindergarten.
The staff member felt a little awkward. "But Zetty isn't old enough for the higher-level class."
Rose was insistent. "Rules are man-made. We ought to consider her capabilities before assigning her to a class. Don't you think so?"
The staff members could not convince Rose, and so they turned their pleading gaze toward Principal Aspen. The principal turned to look at Jay instead.
Jay gave Rose a death glare!
Baby Zetty saw that the adults were in an awkward situation because of her. She walked in front of Principal Aspen and fluently enunciated her reasons for why she should be placed in the higher-level class.
"Grandpa Principal, I might be still young, but I've heard that many renowned universities accept younger students as long as they are intelligent. If those universities could do that, why can't a kindergarten make an exception for smart kids?"
Principal Aspen was amazed. "What amazing reasoning abilities! Alright, I'll make an exception for a smart little girl like you. Grandpa Principal will let you join the higher-level class."
Rose breathed a sigh of relief.
Baby Zetty gave Grandpa Principal a big hug. Then, she thanked her with a deep bow. "Thank you, Grandpa Principal. Baby Zetty will not let you down."
Jay looked at the intelligent and obedient Baby Zetty and could not comprehend it. Was the little girl a natural actress? She was fierce and unyielding in front of him but was a courteous and gentle little lady in front of others.
That two-faced temperament of hers reminded him of someone.
Jay turned to look at Rose. Rose looked relaxed and wore a dignified smile on her face.
After the enrollment procedure, the three children remained at the kindergarten for classes while Rose followed Jay out of the kindergarten.
With her hacking skills, Grand Asia would gladly pay her at least eight million per year.
She had agreed to the abysmally low salary, probably because she really needed the money.
"What is the penalty if you breach the contract?" Jay asked.
Rose shook her head. "I won't breach the contract. Eminent Honor has helped me in my time of need, and I'm not one to burn bridges. I will do my best to serve them well for the next two years."
Jay was lost in thought for a while as he looked at Rose's determined expression.
It was his first time realizing that he should re-evaluate his impression of his ex-wife.
