Chapter 154 The Angry Old Man Upon hearing that news, Milly''s expression becthoughtful. Are the admissions teams from both Crestfallen University and Crestfield University showing up already? The entrance exam results hadn''t even been announced. Were they here to promote their institutions? Jordan seemed to expect their arrival and calmly said, "Go ahead and let them in." "Right away. Mr. Jordan," responded the servant, and shortly after, he led two groups of university admissions representatives, each dressed in their unique uniforms, into the grand living room.


    Thevish decor of the room, akin to that of a royal pce, took the university representatives by surprise. They mused that while it''s often id a noble''s child will shine no matter their background, seeing someone from such affluence still push for academic sess was rare.


    Not to mention, having not one but two exceptional kids at once was even more remarkable! As the university representatives settled on the sofa, they offered their school pamphlets to Jordan, saying, "Are you Milly and Anthony''s parents? We''re here representing Crestfallen University. Please, have a look at our brochure" Crestfield University''s representatives quickly followed suit, handing over their pamphlet. This is Crestfield University''s brochure. We invite you to take a moment to review it." Sitting next to Jordan, Milly keenly went through the brochures. Indeed, these were the top two universities in the nation, Crestfallen University and Crestfield University.


    But she pondered.


    mye "Excuse me, are you sure my exam score qualifies? The results aren''t out yet, and I don''t even know my score.


    She felt confident in her performance, but theck of official results left her in limbo.


    Crestfallen University''s representatives reassured her, "Don''t worry: Milly. We get the scores in advance for the top fifty applicants in the province and reach out directly." Crestfield University''s representatives added, "Absolutely, with scores like yours, you''re exactly what Crestfield University looks for in its future students." Crestfallen University muttered, "Competitors are always ready with their excessive ttery and no sense of boundaries." Milly now understood how things were ying out.


    Jonathan, caught off-guard, quickly recovered and praised Milly, "Incredible, Milly! Getting into both Crestfallen University and Crestfield University, you''ve madeproud!" Putting aside the mention of the top fifty, Anthony wholeheartedlymended Milly, "Milly is truly incredible, a perfect blend of beauty and brains, truly distinguished!" "Totally! You''re the star of our family!" Chapter 154 The Angry Old Man "Yeah, we should totally put up a que saying, "Milly, ace of the college entrance exams "Definitely, it should turn into a worldwide festivity. Her ndeserves to light up screens across the globe. Just Halturia? Nope, that''s not enough!" "Not just on screens. Even the rental bikes should give out a celebratory message when you unlock them!" Everyone is wondering. Is this the lifestyle of the wealthy? Milly remains silent, pondering the squestion.


    Judging by thevish celebrations, those who knew about her getting into Crestfallen University thought she had hit the jackpot.


    Then, an authoritative, elderly voice said, "Why waste twith these ces? Better to join a military school with strict training. Graduate, pick up a rifle, and head straight to war. Magnificent." Jonathan quickly countered, "Grandpa, Milly''s a youngdy." "So what? Women can''t fight and face the enemy? Back in my day, we had plenty of women in our ranks. Never heard a singleint!" the old man retorted.


    "Look at these frail beings. What do they remind you of? How are they supposed topete on the battlefield and contribute to the country!" Jonathan was shocked but kept calm, saying, "Things are different now." You disrespectful kid." Hearing Jonathan''s reply, Philip lifted his cane as if to strike.


    Jonathan, scared, hid behind Jordan, covering his head.


    "Hmph." Philip gave a disdainful snort.


    Just do as I say, go to the military school!" His voice had a tone ofmand, making everyone present shudder.


    But Milly stood her ground, saying, “No, I won''t go.

    "You!" Philip looked at her furiously.


    Milly looked back boldly, "Grandpa, we live in a peaceful era. It''s not about going to war to serve the country anymore. I can contribute to our nation without being inbat!" "And also, acting is something I''m really passionate about. As soon as the admissions representatives at Crestfield University heard this, they could barely contain their excitement.


    They looked at her and thought. It all makes sense now. "Milly has this m natural elegance.and allure-she''s born to be on stage! Milly, just so you know, our performing arts department here is top-notch!" Milly was taken aback, unaware that Crestfield University had a program.


    "Do you guys offer that as a major?" The Crestfield University team renlied confidently. "Not vet hur that''s something we can set un when you Chapter 154 The Angry Old Man caboard. We''re willing to start a new department just for you as long as you''re with us. Easy" Milly was speechless.


    Then, Crestfallen University jumped in, "Milly, if they can make it happen, so can we. We''ll set up a custom We department just for you and even bring in the best acting coach for one-on-one sessions!"


    "And should you face any controversies or legal issues down the line, ourputer science andw departments with have your back, safeguarding your finances. Plus, our biology department will make sure you stay in top shape. We''ve covered you from all angles if you cto us." Milly was silent.


    Although she wasn''t used to these recruitment strategies, this was the first tshe saw two top universities going head-to-head trying to attract students, and it took her by surprise for a moment Yet, she wasn''t really looking to study performing arts in the first ce.


    In the past, she jumped into the entertainment world to make a better future for herself and dedicated her life to acting. She spent years on set and eventually beca highly respected lead actress.


    Acting principles and techniques were second nature to her now, and she felt there was no need to go back to school for it and miss out on other chances.


    She wanted to take a different route this time, one she had left behind and now regretted.
