By the time she hit her teens, Ava had long since shed her baby fat. She inherited her parents' good genes, and as she grew older, her beauty increased.
She had already gained popularity as a child actor, and her visage was well-known throughout the Philippines by the time she entered middle school.
As a result, she found it difficult to continue going to her regular school.
All this led Jeff and Ann to send Ava to an international high school where nobody would know who she was. That's what they believed, at least.
But the question remained, where overseas?
At that point, Ann decided to contact her cousin Alexa Grant, the daughter of former US President Grant and a former beauty queen who was married to King Alexander and is currently the Queen of Stonasia.
Alexa was touched that Ann and Jeff had considered her and trusted her with their priceless child when she learned what they wanted.
