Milly was armed with solid arguments. She quickly rendered those reporters speechless with few words.

Everything she said made perfect sense, and they couldn’t find any flaws in her statements.

The reporters recalled the tasks their boss had assigned them before they came, they gritted their teeth and pressed on. “But words alone are not enough, Ms. Burnett. Do you have any evidence to support your claims? If you can’t prove it, we will remain skeptical.”

Milly let out a cold smile. Her eyes showed a hint of impatience. Clearly, they wouldn’t back down until they were faced with undeniable proof.

She retrieved her phone and dialed a number. After a few rings, the call was answered. The speaker clearly broadcast the voice on the other end. “Hello? Is this Milly? What can I do for you?”

Milly had put the call on speaker. Everyone present heard Crestwood High’s principal’s voice clearly.

Her tone softened a bit as she spoke, “Principal, I just wanted to thank you for your support, especially now that the school year is about to begin. I’ve been so busy lately that I haven’t had the chance to properly express my gratitude.”

The principle voice on the other end sounded surprised and pleased, “Oh, Milly, there’s no need to thank me! It’s we who should be thanking you. You have no idea how much pride you’ve brought to me, our school and our city!

“Just the other day, the principal of Crestfallen University called me. He was so excited to have a talent like you to join them. Oh my! He couldn’t sleep due to his excitement. He even considered to file the application to build a new dormitory just for you, if time allowed…”

A thud echoed through the room as someone’s microphone hit the floor, the sound unmistakable and

resonant.

Crestfallen University!

Could it be the Crestfallen University they were thinking of?

Milly’s expression remained calm and a faint smile remained on her face. She said, “Thank you, principal. I am truly grateful for your support.”
