Her Seven Little Bodyguards

Chapter 833

It was true. There was no regularly-trained teacher out there who could give adequate education to the seven children.

Hanson tried not to look resigned as he placated, "The reason you're all going to kindergarten is to have fun. Don't dwell too much on the other stuff."

His children could probably give a class of their own. To expect them to learn anything new from kindergarten was foolish. After a pause, he asked, "By the way, what's Lilith been up to these days?"

Jack replied breezily, "Nothing much. She's been sorta quiet."

Indeed, Lilith had stuck to her own lane these days and did not stir up any trouble at all. It was as though she was a changed person. Perhaps the mastermind had given up on her after Vania was reunited with Lily.

"That's good, but you should all still be careful," Hanson said as he dropped the kids off at the entrance. He gave them a few more reminders, then left.

Meanwhile, Vania woke up and glanced at the time, then decided to give the company a miss today. She was supposed to meet up with Bryan anyway so that they could lure Yvonne into taking the next step of her plan.

Bryan and Jennifer were already at the restaurant by the time Vania arrived. They had no filming scheduled today now that the crew was wrapping up the last of the shooting, so they came out for a meal to get a breather.

Vania sat down across from them and took the menu as she announced, "Bryan's treat."

"You're asking me to foot the bill? That's harsh, Vania. If you must know, my grandfather cut off my allowance after I won the Award for Best Actor. He said I'm old enough to make a living now." At the mention of this, Bryan made a tear-wiping motion and pretended to sob.

"Didn't you just get paid for the film? That's more than what your allowance used to be," Vania pointed out without looking up from the menu. She planned on ordering a few of the house specialties just to rip Bryan off.

After all, he was going to benefit from what she was about to do today.

"Hey, sugar mama, the crew told me that our team's been submitted for the Hillsworth Film Award this time round. Is that true?" Jennifer asked as she sipped on her juice.

Vania heard the displeasure in her voice and asked, "Yeah. You got a problem with that?"

"I just think the award is going to do more harm than good for our brand. It's practically worthless to win something like that, isn't it?"

Most of the awards could be bought by money, and none of the winners had any real talent. It was just a platform for small-time celebrities to add 'award-winning' to their resume.

Jennifer, however, was an actress who devoted herself entirely into refining her skillset, and she frowned upon the Hillsworth Film Award like it was the bane of the entertainment industry. If she and Bryan were to win an award during the show, then that would only verify the online rumors.
