Chapter 13 Apologize to Stephanie

A figure interrupted Milly’s train of thought as she was memorizing a poem. Her expression darkened immediately. “Please move aside,” she said firmly. Stephanie felt Milly’s icy gaze pierce through her; she trembled and instinctively wanted to retreat. However, upon realizing this fool had been admitted to Crestwood High, she stopped in her tracks. Blinked, Stephanie quickly concealed her jealousy and changed to a pleasant expression. She approached Milly, grabbed her arm, and said, “Milly, I was surprised earlier. Please don’t take it to heart. “How did you manage to get into Crestwood High with your grades? Did you sneak in?” Stephanie’s tone was sharp, almost causing Milly’s ears to ring. Pulling her arm away, Milly distanced herself and replied, “That’s none of your business.”

her beliefs. Especially when she saw Milly walk away, Stephanie became more convinced that she had guessed right. The broodingness in her heart was instantly gone. She quickly took two steps to catch up with Milly. “Hey, slow down. I know you want to make Mom and Dad proud by getting into Crestwood High, but you can’t resort to sneaky tactics. You

get into a good second-tier high school.” Second-tier university? Haha! This is amusing. Milly stopped in her tracks. She turned to Stephanie with a neutral expression and asked, “Oh?

The previous brightness was gone, replaced by lifelessness, dullness, and chilling indifference. At that moment, although she hadn’t moved, Anthony felt like there was a chasm between them.

Especially when he thought of the icy gaze that Milly had just given him, his heart seemed to tighten in an instant, making the discomfort even more intense. Stephanie hid behind Anthony. When she saw him protect her and witnessed the conflict between the two, she couldn’t stop smiling. See! The true daughter has returned, but so what? I’m still the precious and darling in their eyes.
