Nobody approved of Wrenna transferring to another program, especially her family members.
She had planned on keeping it a secret from them at first, but she wasn't able to complete the transfer all by herself.
After all, it was impossible for an underachiever like her to get a transfer in the first place. As such, she would need to pull some strings in order to get it done.
However, the only ones capable of doing so were the Jackson family and Damian.
Wrenna decided to approach Henry about it first, and he objected immediately.
“Wren, I didn't raise you for so many years to have you suffer like this. Are you sure you want to transfer to such a boring program? You could just draw the stuff you like and stop whenever you don't feel like it. I'll make sure you graduate as planned.”
Wrenna wasn't all too happy about that. “Are you looking down on me, Dad? You think I'm stupid, don't you?”
“No, of course not! How could my smart, cute, and intelligent daughter be stupid? I just think it's pointless to study economics. It's just unnecessary. Well, it is both boring and tiring.”
“That's fine by me.”
“Why are you so stubborn? I'm trying to give you a comfortable and carefree life! Are you trying to drive me nuts?”
Wrenna stubbornly refused to change her mind.
“You don't want to help me? Fine, I'll go ask someone else.”
“You...”
In a state of desperation, Henry turned toward his young and beautiful wife for help.
“Honey, would you come and talk some sense into this girl?”
Yaala simply shot her a glance and said coldly, “You're a married woman, Wrenna. You should be asking your husband instead of us for whatever decision it is you plan on making.”
“But, Mom...”
“No buts. You're doing this for the sake of your husband, so why are you asking us for help? Look, you insisted on marrying Damian back then, so you chose this path yourself. He's your guardian now, so your actions have nothing to do with us.”
“Honey, wait... About this... Wren is actually...”
Uncomfortable with how cold Yaala was toward Wrenna, Henry tried to say something to ease the tension, but Yaala turned toward him and cut him off. “You have spoiled her way too much, and look at what's become of her! She never thinks about the consequences of her actions! This is all your fault, so you are in no position to complain!”
Henry rubbed his nose in guilt and gave Wrenna an awkward look in response.
Disappointed that she didn't receive any help from her parents, Wrenna tried talking to her dean about the transfer instead.
Naturally, the dean objected to it as she would need to take an exam for the transfer, and there was no way she would pass it.
The thought of going to Clarissa had crossed her mind, but she didn't want to cause them any trouble.
In the end, Wrenna had no choice but to come clean with Damian about it.
“I want to get a transfer, Damian.”
Damian was very shocked as Wrenna didn't have anything that she really liked doing since young.
Did she discover something she really wants to do? Is that why she's asking for a transfer?
“Oh? And what program would you want to transfer to?”
“Economics.”
Huh!
Damian was surprised to hear that but found it a little hilarious nonetheless.
“Are you interested in economics”
“Yeah, I'm very interested in it!”
Wrenna nodded profusely to show Damian how serious she was about her decision, but he simply shook his head and said with a chuckle, “If you're interested, we could pay a teacher to teach you about it at home. I don't think it's appropriate to get a transfer because you'd need to take an exam and deal with the really heavy coursework afterward...”
He was mainly just concerned that Wrenna wouldn't be able to cope with the program.
“But I don't want to just treat it as an interest! I want to get a job related to economics in the future!”
“A job related to this area? Such as?”
