Chapter 286 The Coming–of–Age Celebration

Milly found herself momentarily lost for words among the crowd as she overheard her classmates praising Stephanic.

Isn’t military training a common experience for everyone at camp? Stephanie’s no different from the rest of us, so what makes her participation seem extraordinary?

Does the gap between the rich and the poor really change how we’re seen?

Stephanie, with a smile, modestly accepted the accolades. Once everyone had said their piece, she humbly responded, “Thank you, but you’re giving me too much credit. I want to fit in with everyone and not be singled out for having a ‘princess complex.

Her admirers didn’t miss a beat and jumped in with more praise.

“Stephanie, your modesty is so commendable. You’re the most grounded heiress I’ve ever met.”

“Your presence is so refreshing. You make everyone feel at ease just by being yourself

“It’s confusing when less wealthy people act more entitled than you. That’s the real puzzle.”

Milly’s expression tightened, wondering if they were talking about her.

Then Stephanie added kindly, “Let’s not talk down about Milly. She’s really nice, although she might be slightly prickly sometimes. I can vouch for her being great most of the time.”

Realizing what she’d just said, Stephanie quickly covered her mouth, her eyes widening in shock.

“Oh, my apologies, Milly. I didn’t mean to say that. Can you forgive me, please?

Milly mused to herself, recognizing the unintentional sting in their words.

At first, she wasn’t sure if they were talking about her, but it soon became apparent that she was indeed the topic..

The cunning, veiled comments, which twisted the truth and warped reality with their underlying meanings, were not easy feats.
