Grace looked in the direction of the voice and saw Nelson Corbyn standing opposite a girl, who was blocking his way domineeringly.

“So what? She’s still an ex-convict. If you won’t be my friend, I’m going to tell everyone at school that your mother is an ex-convict and that they shouldn’t go to your store!” the girl said with a complacent smile on her young face.

Grace was somewhat surprised. ‘The girl seems to be about the same age as Nelson. Do nine-year-old children behave like this nowadays?’

 This girl was not innocent like how children her age should be.

From Grace’s point of view, she could not see Nelson’s expression but could see that the hands by his sides were clenched into fists. His shoulders seemed to be trembling slightly.

The girl seemed even more proud now. “Hmph, if you don’t want the whole school to know that your mother is an ex-convict and have your store go out of business, you’ll be obedient and do exactly what I tell you to do! Here, I

want you to say you like me in front of everybody—”

“That won’t do, my dear!” Grace’s voice interrupted the girl.

Nelson Corbyn turned his head and froze at the sight of Grace, while the girl said with an angry face, “Who are you, old lady? Do you have anything to do with our affairs?”

“Why would I have nothing to do with my godson’s affairs?” Grace smiled faintly, but there was something fierce in the way she looked at the little girl. “Let me tell you, what you just said to Nelson is called a threat in law. I’m a lawyer, and I can tell you that this crime is punishable by imprisonment.”

The little girl’s expression changed, and Grace added, “In that case, you’ll also be an ex-convict! Besides, Nelson’s mom was in jail because she was wronged by bad people. But this time, you’ll be going to jail because you made a threat, not because someone wronged you.”

She was a nine-year-old girl, after all. Even if she was arrogant and stubborn, she was scared now. She stomped her feet and left angrily.

Grace turned to look at Nelson in front of her and rubbed his head. “If I hadn’t seen that, were you really going to give in to that girl?”

Nelson Corbyn said nothing, but his face flushed. It was admission to Grace’s words.

Grace said, “You should never forget that I’m here for you. I

know you want to protect your mom, but you’re still young. So let me know if you’re ever in trouble and I’ll figure something out. I’ll protect your mommy with you, okay?”

Nelson Corbyn’s eyes reddened, and he nodded after a long pause.

Grace looked at the time. It was almost the time she had agreed to meet with the principal, so she said, “Alright, go Nelson Corbyn took a few steps, stopped again, and turned to Look at Grace. “aunt Cummins, don’t tell my mommy about what happened today.”

Grace replied, “Okay, I got it.”

After a while, she arrived at the principal’s office, where she was warmly received by the principal. Grace knew it was because of the Reed family.

“What? You want your second five-year-old son to study in the first grade?” the principal said with some shock.

“Yes, I hope he can be a transfer student and attend school directly. He has a sister who isn’t related to him in the first grade here, so he wants to be in the same class as her,” said Grace.

“But he’s a little younger, and his learning progress…”

“You can let him take an entrance exam before joining the school. If he doesn’t pass, the school can reject him and I’ll have no problem with that,” said Grace.

The principal said nothing more and agreed. He also set the date for the entrance examination.

After coming out of the principal’s office, Grace went to the He family’s house. Archer Barlow was not at home. Rosalind Bush was very nice to Grace now. She was attentive and served her tea.

Grace knew what people like Rosalind Bush wanted. They just wanted more money or benefits.

As soon as Grace entered the He family’s house, Mason stared at her intently. It was obvious he was staring at her to tell him about the admission.

Grace said, “I’ve spoken to the principal. You’re allowed to join the school, but you have to take an entrance exam to see if you can keep up with the first grade’s syllabus. If you fail the exam, you can’t join the school.”

Mason agreed right away as if the exam was a piece of cake for him.

Grace was not clear about her son’s knowledge level. After all, Mason did not go to kindergarten like ordinary children, and logically speaking, everything he learned was what Secretary Wang had taught him before he was three years old.

However, no one knew exactly what Secretary Wang had taught the child. Mason had never been willing to communicate with others.

Rosalind Bush was surprised when she heard that her former stepson was going to be in the first grade. “Well… Is Mason going to be in the first grade? Why don’t you just transfer Veronica to another school? Emerald City’s Foreign Language Primary School is a great primary school…”

Rosalind Bush began to ramble on about Veronica Barlow and Mason studying in Foreign Language Primary School.

Then, her son could study there too.

“When the time comes, we’ll just move somewhere near Foreign Language Primary School so it’s convenient for the kids to get to and fro from school. We’ll be able to take better care of them too. Don’t you think so, Mrs. Reed?”

Grace looked at Rosalind Bush with a half-smile. She knew what she was up to. Foreign Language Primary School was an aristocratic primary school in Emerald City, where many rich and powerful families sent their children to study.

With tuition fees running at hundreds of thousands of yuan a year and houses in the neighborhood being ridiculously expensive, Rosalind Bush wanted the Reed family to pay for it all.

“It’s not impossible. How about this? I can pay for Veronica and Mason’s tuition fees. But moving to a place near Foreign Rosalind Bush’s expectant look suddenly turned pale as if she had eaten something nasty.

Grace lowered her head and said to Mason, “Okay, I’ve done what I promised you. What about what you promised me?”

“Do you promise I can video call Sis every day?” the little one asked sternly.

Grace said, “I promise, and Veronica also has my phone number, so she can call me whenever she wants to reach you.”

Mason extended his hand to Grace.

Grace held Mason’s hand as they prepared to leave the He family’s house.

Rosalind Bush instantly panicked at the sight of this. “Hey, where are you taking Mason?”

“What’s the matter? Can’t I take my son and leave?” Grace asked in reply.

“But… But…” Rosalind Bush panicked. It took her a while to come up with a reason. “Veronica will be worried if she doesn’t see Mason when she comes back.”

After all, having Mason in the He family was equivalent to the He family being associated with the Reed family.
