NovelEnglishSkyler flashed a cheeky grin, "Guess I'll give it a shot. Once I've got this stutter licked, I'll apply to teach at the Pinnacle Ivy League School." Aurelia chuckled, "By then, you can get a letter of recommendation from Leopold. He's one of the shareholders of the school." Just then, the butler announced that lunch was ready.
Aurelia herded Skyler and Kane into the dining room.

Tanya gave Skyler a warm smile, "Skyler, your grandma and mom have been missing you. When your dad heads over to Eastwood Heights next week, you should hitch a ride and pay them a visit before coming back." Skyler shook his head vigorously, like a bobblehead, "No way. I'm not going back. I'll video chat with my grandma and mom. I'm gearing up to apply to the Pinnacle Ivy League School as a teacher. Next month, I've got the teacher certification exam. I'm swamped." He remembered Kane's advice. When the stutter started acting up, simply take a pause.
Hanson raised his eyebrows, "You want to be a teacher?" "Yes. I'm off to work." Skyler's expression was dead serious.
Hanson couldn't help but laugh, "Looks like our Skyler's all grown up." Tanya frowned slightly, "You're still a kid yourself. How are you going to teach others? What if you have to deal with some unruly ones?" Kane spoke in his usual deliberate manner, "Aunt Tanya, no need to fret. The Pinnacle Ivy League School isn't the average school. It's filled with high-1Q prodigies. There aren't any bad eggs there." After all, the Pinnacle Ivy League School wasn't somewhere she could just buy the way into. Even the emperor's son wouldn't get in without the smarts.
Hanson smiled, "It's rare for Skyler to be this driven. We need to support him all the way." Tanya's tone nonchalant but intentional, "Why don't you visit your grandma and mom first? Then you can come back for the exams. It won't set you back. Grandma's 90th birthday is just around the corner. Aren't you going to celebrate with her?" Skyler was earnest, "I need to practice every day to kick this stutter. When Leopold gets better, he'll bring me back." Jessica chuckled, "Skyler's an adult now. Let him make his own decisions. Don't push him." Inside, Tanya was seething. Ever since his arrival at Elysium, Aurelia and Leopold had brainwashed him. He wouldn't listen anymore. He needed to be brought back home for a proper talking-to.
"Jessica, | need to head back, too. My health isn't what it used to be, and I'd prefer Skyler by my side." Jessica replied, "You always complained he was just a boy. Now that he's finally showing initiative, wanting to work and live right, you want to keep him tied to your apron strings. Don't you want him to grow up?" Tanya was about to retort when Hanson interceded, "Tanya, let's leave Skyler be. He can stay in Elysium and focus on his exams. Becoming a teacher is a fine way to prove his worth to the family." The family clearly meant the Stirling family.

With Hanson putting it that way, Tanya couldn't insist anymore. She grumbled to herself, "Fine, I'll stay a bit longer then. Only when he's settled can | return home with peace of mind." Aurelia pondered, “Tanya heading back home would be the surprise of the century. She was still waiting for bad news about Leopold.” Monday morning at Serenity Films, Avery stepped into the office just as the HR manager, Doris, introduced a new staff member.
"Mr. Avery, with Kiri on maternity leave, we've hired a new makeup artist for you. Give her a try, and if she doesn't work out, we'll find someone else." "It's a pleasure to meet you," the woman said with a sweet smile, dimples flashing.
Avery did a double-take. Wasn't that Marianne? "You're a makeup artist?"
