Chapter 288 Rain–soaked Rivalry

So, Milly figured everything would be excellent if she stuck close to the leading group as they made their way forward.

Keeping that in mind, she loosened up and picked up her pace.

Then, out of nowhere, Stephanie pops up in front of her. Stephanie, who was usually glued to Lucius in the middle of the crew under everyone’s watchful eye, now stood before Milly with a smirk.

“Milly, I won,” she declared,

Milly couldn’t help but laugh and gave Stephanie a look of amusement and disbelief. “Really?”

Stephanie hadn’t changed much, even if she had a do–over. With that logic, Milly doubted she’d last in any severe drama, let alone ‘Empresses in the Palace.

Her smile only fueled Stephanie’s rage. “What’s so funny?”
