Chapter 37 ying the Recording in Public Stephanie clenched her fists tightly. Her eyes betrayed a fierce resentment she couldn''t conceal.
She never expected that Milly would pull such a stunt on her.
Everything was fine yesterday. She had agreed to exin it to the teacher and spare herself from apologising on stage. Yet, just moments ago, the teacher informed her that no one had spoken up for her. and she still had to apologise on stage or face disciplinary consequences that could dy her graduation.
And Jordan was present. Wasn''t this a direct insult? Milly, that b*tch must be orchestrating this deliberately! As she seethed with anger, she suddenly saw a familiar figure in her peripheral vision.
"Mnie, why did you just arrive? I''ve been waiting for you. Stephanie''s eyes sparkled as she hurried over, adopting a more sweet tone, ''I don''t understand what''s wrong with my sister. She promised to speak up. for us, but now she''s returned to her word. It''s truly exasperating.
Mnie ignored her words, bypassing her and heading to the back of the line.
Stephanie was taken aback.
What''s wrong with Mnie? Something seems off. Given her previous temperament, she would have confronted Milly if she had heard such words. Why is she so subdued today? Compelled to follow, she stood beside Mnie, feigning urgency in her voice. "Mnie, what''s wrong? Are you feeling unwell? If you''re unwell, inform the teacher and return to the ssroom. I''ll apologise on your behalf when I take the stage." Upon hearing this, Mnie nearly burst intoughter.
Apologise on my behalf? You are likely nning to push all the blonwhen you go up there.
She had been so naive before, failing to notice such tant intentions and foolishly allowing herself to be used as a scapegoat..
With this realisation, she gazed expressionlessly at Stephanie and asked coldly, "Stephanie, letask you. - Are we best friends?" Taken aback by her gaze, Stephanie nodded quickly. "Yes, we are." Mnie sneered sarcastically. "Best friends? Do you know that my family went bankrupt because of you?" Upon hearing this, Stephanie''s expression changed. She had been preupied with navigating the current situation and had forgotten that Mnie had called her the previous night to disclose their family''s financial ruin. No wonder she has been acting strangely since her arrival, her face filled with despair and destion. But how was their family''s bankruptcy my fault? "Mnie, I know what happened to your family, and I empathise with you. I told you I would speak with Chapter 37 ying the Recording in Public.
trivial matter? I am genuinely disappointed in you Listening to Stephanie''s defence, Mnie found it utterly absurd. She''s still trying to push everything on me. What am I expecting? Yet, seeing her like this, Mnie found it amusing. Unable to contain herself, she burst intoughter. "Stephanie, do you genuinely believe that the Spencer family went bankrupt because of Jordan? While the Spencers may not be as affluent as the Buts, we have a sturdy foundation that cannot easily be dismantled by the Buts overnight. Those targeting the Spencer family to support Milly are from even higher, perhaps even top-tier, prominent family.
"And I couldn''t help butugh when I saw Jordan earlier. You''ve always imed to be the darling of your family, the apple of their eye. But why did I spot him standing next to Milly? Not only him, Mr. Tate, Mr. William, and even Anthony, too.
"Hahaha. Stephanie, you are truly pitiful. Milly has received so much more than you without even trying. You are quiteughable. Hahaha Mnie genuinely found it amusing,ughing with a strong sense of sarcasm and disdain, even shedding tears fromughter, bending over in amusement.
Stephanie was provoked by her mockingughter, her eyes red with anger. Each word felt like a jab at her wounds.
Jordan favoured Milly, George was Milly''s fiancé, William was Milly''s loyal follower, and even Anthony was gradually epting Milly''s influence.
It seemed like everyone had changed.
Stephanie''s face turned livid, clenching her fists tightly to maintain went bankrupt? You may no longer be the pampered little princess mposure. "So what if your family without Jordan and Anthony. I am still the jewel of the Buts.

"Stephanie, as we were once desk mates, I''ll remind you to cherish the present. You cannotpete with Milly. You have only just begun to covet what she disdains. What do you have to rival her?" Listening to her sarcasm, Stephanie''s expression fluctuated. "You-"
Just then, the loudspeaker on stage coincidentally sounded, emitting a m sharp and piercing noise. “Next, before the student representatives speak, we will invite two students who made mistakes to con stage to reflect and apologise..." Mnie ignored her and stood boldly beneath the national g.
"I am Mnie from ss 3D of the senior year. I sincerely apologise to Milly from ss 3A for wrongly m using you of cheating on the exam. It was my error to doubt your abilities. Please forgivefor my misunderstanding Stephanie watched Mnie making her apology on stage and couldn''t help but breathe a sigh of relief.

I don''t think Jordan will dwell on it too much.
Mnie seemed to sense her gaze and abruptly turned to look at her, her eyes cold and filled with relentless animosity.
Stephanie shuddered, a sense of foreboding washing over her.
Having been friends for so long, even if Stephanie wasn''t genuine towards her, there was still as still some.
