The two of them chatted for a while, and Marcus asked, “What about Sonnet? Do we really have to make her move out?”Maxwell’s face darkened slightly. “Let them move out.”“Are you willing to do that?”Maxwell clenched his fist. “I have no choice. If she moves out, she’ll completely cut ties with the Brooks family. It’s the safest thing for her and the children. There’s nothing more important than their safety.”Maxwell, who had almost died once, was now most afraid of Sonnet being in danger. He had secretly doubled the number of people to protect Sonnet’s family, but he was still uneasy.Once bitten, twice shy. That was probably the case!Marcus thought for a moment and said, “Yeah. I can try to help her find a good place to stay?”Maxwell thought of something, and his eyes lit up. “You go and arrange…”…Since Mariette’s visit, Sonnet had been mentally preparing herself and started packing up Maxwell’s things.About a week later, on a Saturday, Sonnet brought Shay from the m
“Stop scaring yourself. Your son’s complexion looks fine. He must be alright!”Mariette said, sticking out her neck and then pretending to wave her hand casually. “Alright, fine. It’s not going to be easy for you with these children, so I’ll let you off easy and give you a deadline. Three days. If you move out within three days, then that’s fine for me!”She turned around to leave.Sonnet rushed over and grabbed her arm. “No, you can’t leave! My son’s life is hanging in the balance right now. A murderer like you can’t just escape!”She also shouted at the few men who were hired by Mariette. “She’s the mastermind, and you’re all accomplices. None of you can get away with this!”Those few men were indeed hired to help move and did not expect to be involved in this kind of trouble. They all argued, “We don’t know anything. We’re leaving now. You guys can solve your own problems.”After speaking, they all left in a hurry.Mariette’s face turned pale. She said to Sonnet, “Stop holdin
“It’s a bank card. It has six million dollars inside.”“Why are you giving me money?”“It’s not from me. It’s what you deserve, and it can be regarded as my helping you for Maxwell’s sake.”Marcus knew that Sonnet would not accept the money without explaining clearly. “This is Mariette’s money. She bought Maxwell’s villa for twice the market price.”Sonnet widened her eyes. Would someone as cunning as Mariette do something so foolish?“As for why she paid twice the price, you don’t have to worry about it. In any case, I just did a little something. The market price of the villa has been put into the foundation and is ready to be donated to charity. The six million in the card is the extra money beyond the market price of the villa. I’m giving it to you. Keep it for future emergencies.”Sonnet waved her hand. “Just donate it all together. Consider it accumulating merits for Maxwell. I hope he’ll be happy over there.”“When you and Maxwell made some money in the stock market at fi
Sonnet raised an eyebrow and smiled at him. “Then I’ll have to trouble you, Mr. Pine.”“It’s no trouble at all. It’s my duty,” Marcus replied with a smile, feeling a weight lifting off his chest.Mission accomplished, yay!As for the matter of moving out, Lindy had some objections. “You guys move out. My mom and I won’t.”“Why not? Mariette Brooks isn’t a good person. If she retaliates against you, what will you do?”“It should be okay. We just have to be careful,” Lindy hesitated slightly, then added, “But the main thing is if the rent is cheap…”Sonnet chuckled and patted her head. “It’s fine. I’ll pay your rent, and you can live without worries.”“How can that be possible? You have huge expenses too—”“Didn’t I just get an unexpected windfall?” Sonnet interrupted her.Nonetheless, she did not plan on using the six million from the bottom of her heart. As long as her salary could support everyone, she would try to pay the rent with her own money.Lindy and Sophia had helped
They went to Building No. 8 according to Marcus’ arrangement.Lindy looked around and exclaimed, “This building has an excellent location! I think it’s in the center of the entire complex. Look, it’s convenient to go anywhere from here.”Sonnet was even more confused. “How could Marcus help us rent this place at such a low price? Is he secretly subsidizing us?”“Why would he subsidize us? We’re not related,” Lindy said, looking puzzled. Sonnet was both angry and amused. “You don’t know why?”Was it not all to pursue you?Lindy pondered seriously for a while and shook her head softly. “It’s not possible. Although I’ve done him a big favor, he’d only use his connections for me. He won’t subsidize me so much every month…”The rent in this place was probably more than the monthly salary of an ordinary family!She shook her head vigorously. “No, I have to ask him clearly when he comes over. If it’s really expensive, I can’t rent it.”It was impossible for him to keep subsidizing h
After finding the house, Sonnet and the others got busy with moving. Logan arranged the moving trucks. There were two huge trucks with more than ten strong men who looked like they were gathering for a gang meeting.Sonnet and the others only needed to organize their own things, and they did not have to do any moving work.Both units were brand new, with three bedrooms and two living rooms, all fully furnished. After placing their belongings, they could already move in.After a busy afternoon, Sonnet and Lindy became next-door neighbors without any effort. That evening, the two families had dinner together at Lindy’s house, and Lindy said excitedly, “Let’s just break open the walls and make two units into one!”Sophia rolled her eyes and said, “What do you mean break open? This isn’t our own house, don’t get too carried away!”Everyone laughed together.Paradise Residential Area was a bit far from East Villas, so after moving, Lune’s attendance at kindergarten became a proble
“Don’t you allocate the children to their classes based on their ages?” Sonnet asked curiously. “Our classes consist of children of all ages,” the teacher replied. Sonnet nodded. Professional kindergartens now had classes with children of mixed ages. Indeed, it seemed like this kindergarten was at the forefront of preschool education. “In that case, how are the children allocated to their classes?” Sonnet asked again. “The children choose the classes that they’d like to attend by themselves. All the children will play together every day. They’ll then get into groups of their own choice and form classes on their own. One class consists of five to six children. During group activities, all the children will play together.” “There aren’t any teachers?” Sonnet could not help but ask when she noticed that there were not any teachers in the classroom. The teacher nodded and said, “Our core education principle is for the children to learn freely. Therefore, there won’t be an
Sonnet’s heart finally softened when she saw the watchful gaze in Jaybie’s eyes. The next day, she brought Jaybie out to buy a school bag for him. The day after next, she brought Lune and Jaybie to Erudite Academy. In the first few days, Sonnet was still slightly worried that Jaybie would fall sick. However, after a week had passed, she realized that Jaybie was completely alright. Furthermore, he became happier as well. He chatted with her nonstop and told her about his classmates as well as everything that had happened in kindergarten when he was home. “Mom, I realized that the students in this kindergarten are truly outstanding and adorable. None of them bullies other children,” Lune shared her thoughts as well. Sonnet smiled while nodding. “Yes, that’s because they have a good principal.” Teachers without capabilities that were on par with the kindergarten’s standards must have been eliminated during the interview phase. Sonnet felt extremely relieved now that the ch
