Chapter 19 Submitting the Paper Early

Rather than wasting energy, it was more prudent to await the results and let her abilities speak for themselves.

Jordan held Milly in high regard and understood her desire to handle things independently, so he refrained from interfering too much. He simply cautioned her that if she found herself unable to manage the situation, he would enlist the best legal representation to ensure she faced consequences.

Milly was left speechless.

Had he known it was his other sister who was responsible, he likely wouldn’t have made such a statement. To her surprise. Milly encountered Stephanie during the exam, causing her expression to darken instantly. It appeared that Stephanie was determined to remain a constant presence.

Upon seeing Milly enter with a pen, Stephanie greeted her with a smile. “Milly, what a coincidence. It seems that we share an exam room.”

Her voice was clear and melodious, capturing the attention of the entire room.

Milly raised an eyebrow and, amidst the various gazes, confidently located her seat and sat down.

As a movie star in her past life, she had encountered all sorts of situations. These petty tactics were beneath her and were not even worth acknowledging.

Undeterred, Stephanie approached with a soft smile. “Milly, I’m aware of the incident with the blog. Rest assured, I believe in your integrity. While your previous grades may have been lacking, your recent efforts will surely yield improvement.”

This remark subtly highlighted her past academic performance, suggesting she had no choice but to seek assistance at the eleventh hour.

With folded arms, Milly scrutinised her before coolly remarking, “Even if my grades were subpar, I am still in Class A. But what about you, Stephanie? Weren’t you supposed to tutor me? Why are you still in the lowest–tier exam room?

Stephanie’s expression soured instantly.

At Crestwood High, exam rooms were arranged based on rankings. Despite her struggles to gain admission to Crestwood High, known for its competitive environment, maintaining her position was challenging, let alone advancing. Hence, she remained at the bottom of the class rankings.

Melanie, who had always been friendly with Stephanie, could no longer stay silent. She stood up indignantly to defend her friend and rebuke Milly. “Stephanie was merely trying to extend a friendly greeting. Why did you mock her? Furthermore, upon entering the school, Stephanie’s scores surpassed yours. Why do you think you have the right to criticise her when you only scored 600 points?”
