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.

Anthony felt a rage pent up in his chest, unable to go up or down, feeling very uncomfortable. 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.
