One hour later.
In the principal's office of the Royal Baby Kindergarten, Director Fraser and the security guard stood side by side in front of the principal's desk.
The principal, with gentle eyes behind her glasses, was on the phone. After saying a bunch of kind words, she hung up.
Director Fraser cautiously asked, "Principal, did Miss La Rosa agree to send her two children to our kindergarten?"
The principal nodded, "She agreed."
Director Fraser breathed a sigh of relief, and the security guard wiped the sweat off his forehead.
Curiously, Director Fraser asked, "Principal, why did you insist on inviting Miss La Rosa's children to our kindergarten?"
The principal replied, "Because those children are outstanding. The boy is already a black belt in taekwondo at such a young age, and he excels in various sports. The girl is also excellent, smart and talented in drawing. Not to mention their mother, how could we miss such students' parents?"
As the principal spoke, she reminisced.
Director Fraser and the security guard listened with a confused expression, not fully understanding. The principal's gaze swept over them, and she continued, "Starting tomorrow, you two don't need to come to work."
Director Fraser and the security guard almost simultaneously raised their heads.
The principal continued, "I will compensate you with one month's salary. In the future, don't judge people with colored glasses. Now, both of you, please leave."
Director Fraser and the security guard were excited, but their faces turned pale at the end.
They never expected that underestimating a casually dressed woman would cost them their jobs.
Meanwhile, Alessia returned to Rosedale Residence with Christopher and saw Margaret at the door.
"Sia, why didn't you answer the phone today?" Alessia led Christopher into the yard, with Margaret following closely behind.
"Do you need something?" Alessia continued walking inside without turning back.
Upon entering, they saw the newly hired renovation workers working on setting up a medical room, while Riley sat on the sofa reading a magazine.
Margaret's gaze swept over Riley, then returned to Alessia.
She had heard that the house Alessia currently lived in was borrowed, and this man was probably the owner.
He looked good, but his leg was in a cast, indicating unreliability. She hadn't seen such a person among the young masters in Toronto.
He was probably from elsewhere, just here to try something new. Otherwise, in a normal wealthy family, who would accept a divorced woman with children?
Margaret secretly sneered, then focused her gaze back on Alessia. "Of course there is something. Didn't we agree to have dinner with the vice principal of the Royal Kindergarten yesterday?"
"I didn't agree." Alessia frowned as she walked into the dining room.
Margaret followed, her stiff expression flashing momentarily. Putting on a fake smile, she advised, "Sia, don't be so stubborn. I have already reserved the place."
"I've already found a kindergarten." Alessia impatiently poured herself a glass of water and took a sip.
Margaret pursed her lips, hesitated, then pretended to be affectionate by reaching out to shake Alessia's hand.
However, Alessia dodged it, but Margaret continued with a smile on her face.
"Sia, you're too short-sighted. Even if the kindergarten you found is good, can it compare to Royal Baby Kindergarten, the second best in Toronto? Anyway, your uncle has instructed that you must go today. If you don't agree, I won't leave here."
Suddenly, Margaret went from being a noblewoman to a village ruffian. Alessia hesitated.
Their cold treatment of each other upon first meeting should be Margaret's true feelings towards her.
Now, Margaret was shamelessly pestering her, there must be another motive.
Alessia put down the glass in her hand and sighed, "Fine, I'll go with you."
She wasn't without a way to get rid of Margaret, but she felt it was better to go and personally investigate what Margaret was planning.
Seeing Alessia agree, Margaret secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
They agreed to meet at a restaurant.
Alessia and Margaret had just sat down for a short while when a man with acne on his face, weighing around 180 pounds, sat down opposite them.
Margaret graciously introduced, "Sia, this is Mr. Patel. Mr. Patel, this is my niece, Alessia."
After that, she whispered in Alessia's ear, "Sia, this is the son of the vice president of the Happy garden Kindergarten. All you need to do is have a good chat with him, and the problem of your child going to school will be solved. I will go to the restroom first."
After speaking, she left with her handbag.
She took her handbag with her, indicating that she wasn't planning to return.
Alessia toyed with the coffee cup in her hand, her eyes already clear.
So, this was Margaret's purpose in inviting her out.
"Miss La Rosa, I heard that you've been married before and have two children. I'm quite satisfied with you. You can marry me, but none of your children can come to my family, because I also have a child with my ex-wife who needs your care." Mr.Patel, squinted eyes scanned Alessia up and down as he spoke.
So, this was the famous ordinary but confident man?
Ordinary yet confident.
Alessia raised her eyebrows, mockingly sipped her coffee, and said, "How did my uncle tell you about me?"
Disdain immediately appeared on Mr. Patel's greasy face.
"Your uncle is begging to cooperate with my father now. What can he say? She just wants me to marry you as soon as possible, saying you are beautiful. In my opinion, you barely meet my standards. If you marry me, your children can't live with you. But there are still benefits, at least I can make sure they attend the Happy Garden Kindergarten."
"Oh... So, I'll still be benefiting from Mr. Patel." Alessia's gaze fell back on Mr. Patel, her tone cold.
Mr. Patel couldn't hear the sarcasm in her words. He stared at Alessia's face, licked his lips, and said, "As long as you know. If you really understand gratitude, show it with some real action."
Mr. Patel's sleazy appearance was truly repulsive.
Suddenly, Alessia stood up. "Let's go."
"Where?" Mr. Patel looked up, his squinted eyes filled with confusion as he looked at Alessia.
"To take some real action." Alessia smirked.
At her words, Mr. Patel's expression immediately became eager. He hurriedly stood up and followed closely behind Alessia.
When the two reached outside the restroom, Alessia stopped in a corner.
At this moment, there was no one else in the corridor, and it was quiet.
Mr. Patel hesitated. Looking around, he worriedly said, "Isn't it inappropriate here? There are people coming and going. What if someone sees us? It's better if we go to a hotel..."
However, before he could finish his sentence, Alessia had already turned around. What followed was a rain of punches landing squarely on Mr. Patel's body, without any mercy.
Mr. Patel crouched on the ground, protecting his head while begging for mercy.
Alessia had no intention of showing mercy. She continued to vent until she was satisfied, then dialed Margaret's number in front of Mr. Patel.
When the call connected, Alessia looked at the trembling Mr. Patel on the ground and spoke, "Auntie, I've done as you asked. I gave Mr. Patel a beating. Hmm, yes, I really hit him hard. I know you don't want to cooperate with the Patel family anymore, I understand. That's it then, I'm hanging up now."
"Alessia, what are you saying? Don't mess around."
On the other end of the phone, Margaret was suddenly stunned by Alessia's inexplicable words, then she snapped back to reality and shouted sharply, forgetting to keep up her act.
However, Alessia couldn't be bothered to deal with her. She simply hung up the phone, blocking out the noise.
