She looked at Chloe and let out a heavy sigh. "Ms. Lewis, Robert's got a really bad attitude and he actually hurt another kid. As principal of Eaton Kindergarten, it is my duty to formally expel him. Effective immediately, he is no longer a student here." "This place is a joke. I'm not wasting another second here," Robert shot back, tilting his chin up with a defiant glare that showed exactly how little he cared. His blatant disrespect only fueled the parents' anger. They pressed Tracy harder, acting like Robert was totally ruining the school's vibe just by being there. "A school like this is a bad influence. Enrolling a child here is just asking for trouble," Chloe stated flatly, taking Robert's hand. "Let's go, Robert." "Fine by me," Robert agreed without a moment's hesitation. "Wait just a minute!" This time, it was Jennifer who stopped them.Her face was like stone. She stared at Chloe, her eyes burning with anger. "Chloe, your son hit Jenarth, and he openly broke the school's rules. And you think you can just walk away without so much as an apology?" She reached out and clutched Arthur's arm. "Arthur, I don't care who she is. I won't let them treat my Jenarth this way and get away with it." Arthur listened, his eyes drifting to Jenarth, who looked pale and weak in Jennifer's arms. Then he looked at Robert, who was buzzing with energy next to Chloe. In his mind, it was clear—Chloe's jealousy had driven Robert to target Jenarth. "Jennifer, this is my fault. I never should have let Jenarth be in the same class as Robert," Arthur said, a flicker of guilt crossing his face. He turned a stern gaze to Chloe. "Chloe, apologize to Jennifer. Robert, get over here and apologize to Jenarth right now!" Chloe tightened her grip on Robert's hand, her voice dripping with scorn. "Arthur, shut your mouth. You have no right to give me or Robert orders. You're... unbelievably stupid." Hearing Chloe insult Arthur so publicly, Jennifer raised her voice sharply. "Chloe, without the Myers family's protection, how did you end up like this? Even if you don't care about yourself, think about your son! Is saying 'sorry' really that difficult?" Chloe met her glare, her own eyes turning to ice. "If Eaton expels Robert, no reputable school in Capaville will take him. Or are you gonna drag him back to your rural hometown for school?" Rural hometown! So Chloe really did come from some rural place! The other parents, already biased against her, now looked at her with pure disgust. They instinctively took a step back, as if afraid her poverty might be contagious. Just then, the growl of car engines cut through the tension.People looked up to see a line of matching cars with distinctive license plates pulling up toward Eaton Kindergarten. The vehicles were identical, their plates sequential. The big parade got everyone's attention. Arthur, Jennifer, and Tracy all turned to see what was happening. "Wait... aren't those the cars from Sunny Kindergarten?" a sharp-eyed parent remarked, recognizing the fleet. Sunny Kindergarten! All eyes locked onto the convoy. The cars glided to a smooth stop right outside the school's entrance. A door opened, and a blond man with graying hair stepped out. "That's Mr. Pena!" Tracy exclaimed before she could stop herself. She instinctively moved forward. Keith Pena! Sunny Kindergarten!Sunny Kindergarten was, without question, the top kindergarten in Capaville. Money couldn't buy a spot there. It was a global chain that recruited only the most talented and promising children. Getting in wasn't about wealth; it was about a child's innate ability. To put it simply, a child admitted to Sunny Kindergarten had their entire academic future secured. It was where the nation cultivated its best and brightest. Eaton wasn't even in the same universe as Sunny Kindergarten. The parents watched, buzzing with confusion, wondering why staff from Sunny Kindergarten would show up at their school. Keith Pena was the chairman of Sunny Kindergarten. What was he doing here? Normally, people could only see this man on television. In real life, he was practically a myth. Realizing that Keith and his entourage were heading straight for Eaton, Tracy quickly gestured for her staff to clear a path. She wisely stepped aside, then hurried forward, ready to greet the VIP.
