Chapter 609 “Okay, okay. We'll wait then!” “Good kids!” After breakfast, Joanna checked the children’s recent homework. She also called the servants and nannies over to give them some instructions.
Actually, she did not need to worry about these things at all.
Gael was the butler of the Everett family. He was very responsible. He did his best to deal with everything in the family.
He was also one of Bruce’s most trusted people in the world.

1:00 p.m.
Joanna took the three children to Jemton Elementary School.
This was the most expensive private elite elementary school in Greyport.
No matter in terms of educational level or environment, it ranked at the top.
Because the students who enrolled were all rich children, the recruitment of students was especially strict. Virtue, intelligence, physique, and the environment in which they grew up were all references for admission.
Davian and Irvin were successfully accepted after the interview.
As for Lilia, she was not accepted because of her disability.
Lilia was very disappointed with this result, but she also deeply felt that she was different from others. “Mommy...” Looking at Lilia’s teary eyes, Joanna quickly hugged her and comforted her. “Be good. Don't be sad.
“There are so many elementary schools. Although you are not accepted here, you can go to another school.” “Mommy, do they all despise me?” Lilia looked at her mommy aggrievedly.

You are the angel of me and your father.” “Then why don't they refuse me?” “Baby, this is their loss, not your problem. There's no need to be sad.” Davian’s face tensed up. “That's right, Mommy. Since Lilia can’t study in this school, we won't study here either. Let's change schools and go to the same school as Little Sister” That's right. Which school will Lilia study in? We will go there too. | don Joanna frowned and thought for a moment.
“There's still a female noble elementary school in Greyport. It's not worse than here. It's better for Lilia to study there. | think it's more suitable for her.
“Since the two of you have been accepted, it's better for you to stay there and study. When you're in junior high school, I'll send you to Melta.” “Baby, don’t be sad, okay?” Lilia nodded weakly and asked blankly, “Mommy, can my leg still recover?” Joanna tightened her arms to hold Lilia more tightly. “Of course.
“Daddy is injured. He can't leave the hospital for now. When he gets better, | will take you to Gaprington for treatment. Then you will be able to stand up! I'm sure.” “Yeah.” “Gael, please go to the female noble elementary school to apply for admission again. Let Lilia study there.” Gael frowned slightly. “Alright, Mrs. Joannal Leave it to me!” Joanna looked at Gael gratefully. “Gael, you've worked hard during this period of time. I'll have to rely on you to take care of the family matters.” “It's fine. It's what | should do. Mrs. Joanna, just take good care of Mr. Everett.” Gael looked at Joanna with a heavy heart. He wanted to say something but hesitated. “Mrs. Joanna...” “What's wrong? Gael?” “It's alright.” Gael suddenly swallowed his words.
Seeing this, Joanna felt even more uneasy. “What exactly is it? Just say it! There’s no need to hesitate.” Gael looked serious. “Forget it, let's not talk about it for now.” “The most important thing now is Mr. Everett's health. Nothing else is important. As long as Mr. Everett can recover, everything will be fine.” “Gael, you've been in the Everett family for so many years. You're like a family. What's the matter? Don’t hide it from me.
Especially now that something has happened to Bruce, you can't hide it from me.” “Mrs. Joanna, sigh... | think you have to guard against Mr. Lurk.” “Mr. Lurk?” Joanna frowned and looked at Gael in confusion.
“What is it? Please tell me directly. | will feel more uneasy since you don't finish your words.” Gael hesitated for a few seconds before telling the truth. “Mr. Lurk, he called me earlier and told me some things...” “What is it?” Joanna's heart sank.
“Not something good anyway. Mrs. Joanna, you have to be prepared so as not to be caught off guard.” “I don’t understand. What do they want?” “They... want custody of the children.” Joanna choked and looked at Gael in disbelief.
Wasn't this a joke? What did the children have to do with them? What right did they have to get custody of the children? Bruce wasn't dead yet! Even if Bruce really died, the custody of the children should be hers. She was the biological mother of the children!
