Robert thought about it and said, "Why don't we eat at the canteen in Dad's office? | heard the food there is great, but I've never

been there before."

"Sure! Will they let us in?"

He chuckled. "I'm just going to let them have a good look at me."

"Do they all know you?"

He giggled. "Of course, not. | mean I'm going to use the face recognition system to get in. Dad's security system has face

recognition, and Dad entered us all into the system."

"Oh! | thought all of Dad's employees know you!" She sighed a breath of relief.

"Do you know how many employees work for him? Thousands!" he said. "Only a few of the managers have seenbecause Dad

is quite protective of us. Search online and you will only find that Hayden is listed as Dad's son. You can't find anything on Layla

and I."

"I tried." Ivy did so in Taronia and could only find Hayden. "But since Layla uploaded that advert, I'm pretty sure everyone knows

who she is."

"That's because she's working, and it doesn’t matter if others know." Robert noticed the red traffic light ahead and slowed the car

down. "It's a dangerous world out there, and the people we are in contact with are all nice people, but there are a lot of bad people

that we don't see. Not announcing that we are his children is his way of protecting us."

"I know. He wants to prevent us from getting kidnapped."

"Society has improved, and the neighborhood security has improved as well. There are more rich people than before."

"Robert, maybe you just know more rich people because you are one of them," Ivy said. "There are still a lot of people who are

struggling. They mainly focus on making ends meet, and it's unlikely that you will run into any of them."

Robert glanced at Ivy intently.

"Did | say something wrong?" Ivy was worried that she might have upset Robert.

"Of course not. You are right. Ever since you'vee home, | get this urge to try and be ordinary," said Robert.

"You will have a really hard tadjusting," Ivy said. "Ordinary people need to do everything themselves. You won't have a driver

to drive you around, and people your age can't possibly afford a car of their own. You will need to travel to school by public

transport, and most people opt to stay at the dorm. If you do so, you might have to share a room with four to eight people at a

time. Robert, does that sound like fun to you?"

Robert shook his head without hesitation.

"That's not all. There's food. Universities have their own canteens, so that's not that big of a concern, but when you graduate, it's

not like you can dine out every single day! You don't have money to hire a helper, so you need to cook for yourself, which is

extremely time-consuming. You need to go grocery shopping, cook, and wash the dishes yourself. Apart from that, you get to buy

whatever you want right now, but if you are an ordinary person, you need to budget. Even if it is just a roll of toilet paper, you need

to budget for it."

"Seriously? Do ordinary people have to hesitate before buying toilet paper as well?"

"Maybe. | was very poor, but so were my classmates. We had to budget, and we could not spend too much on our meals, or we

might starve by the end of the month."

"Ivy, | feel so lucky that I'm born into this family right now."

"So am I," Ivy said. "Once | graduate and have my own career, | want to help the people who are struggling."

"That's great, Ivy, but there are too many poor people out there, and you can't help them all." Robert did not want Ivy to exhaust

herself.

"I know, Robert. | just want to help the ones who can make a living."

"Looks like I'm worried about nothing, then," he said before wondering how he could try to be ordinary.

An hour later, the car stopped before the Sterling Group building. It was half past six, and the sky was dark.
