Chapter 236 Offended Someone?


    Milly pulled out her phone and checked Twitter. As expected, her name was trending again. She didn’t need to open thements to know thements would be harsh.


    A newbie like her, making headlines every few days, must be annoying even the casual onlookers by now.


    Just then, she saw a message from Bonnie, straightforwardly asking, “Milly, have you offended someone?”


    Milly sneered. <i>Offended </i><i>someone</i><i>?</i>


    <i>I </i>can’t <i>say </i><i>I </i><i>offended </i><i>someone</i><i>, </i><i>but </i>I <i>must </i><i>have </i><i>been </i>asking <i>for </i><i>trouble</i>.


    Only an idiot wouldn’t see that someone was out to get her, relentlessly digging up dirt, stirring public opinion, and desperately trying to drag her down.


    After taking a deep breath, Milly replied, “Bonnie, don’t worry about it. I’ll take care of it.”


    Bonnie was a little worried, and said, “Are you sure you don’t need my help?”


    “No need, I know who’s behind it,” Milly responded.


    She looked up and met Jordan’s gaze.


    He seemed to understand her thoughts without asking, and simply said, “Don’t be afraid.”


    Her restless heart calmed instantly, and she couldn’t help but smile. “Thanks, Jordan.”


    She then turned to look out the window, her face was gloomy.


    She had entered the entertainment industry to hide her identity as a member of the Buts. There was no way those reporters could have known. Plus, today’s visit to the memorial service wasn’t publicized. How did they manage to find the Su family’s car and intercept it on the road so urately?


    The answer was obvious. Someone tipped them off. And whoever had such detailed knowledge of the Buts‘ movements had to be someone from within.


    <i>So</i><i>, </i><i>the </i><i>question </i><i>remains</i>, why <i>didn’t </i><i>the </i><i>reporters </i><i>just </i><i>wait </i><i>at </i><i>the </i><i>Buts</i><i>‘ </i><i>house</i>? <i>Why </i><i>intercept </i><i>her </i>on <i>the </i><i>road </i>instead<i>?</i>


    It <i>must </i><i>be </i><i>because </i><i>the </i><i>informant </i>didn’t <i>want </i><i>her </i>identity <i>exposed </i><i>either</i>. <i>After </i><i>all</i><i>, </i><i>as </i><i>the </i><i>eldest </i><i>daughter </i><i>of </i><i>the </i><i>Buts</i>, <i>people </i><i>would </i><i>want </i>to curry <i>favor </i>with <i>her</i>. <i>Clearly</i>, this <i>person </i><i>didn’t </i><i>want </i><i>that </i><i>to </i><i>happen</i>.


    <i>Given </i><i>all </i>this, it’s <i>obvious </i>who it is.


    Stephanie didn’t mind causing trouble, repeatedly scheming behind the scenes. If Milly stayed silent<b>, </b>she would continue facing endless problems and unwanted attention.


    <i>If </i><i>ying </i><i>nice </i><i>doesn’t </i><i>work</i>, <i>it’s </i>time <i>to </i><i>get tough</i><i>!</i>


    With this thought, Milly’s <b>eyes </b>turned <b>icy</b>. She reached for the <b>car </b>door but <b>was </b>suddenly stopped. “Hold


    on!”


    Milly looked puzzled.

    Jordan pulled out his phone and quickly sent a message. Momentster, the sound of synchronized footsteps echoed from outside.


    Looking out, she saw arge group of bodyguards in ck suits and sunsses, over a hundred of them. They swiftly and efficiently cleared the reporters surrounding the car.


    Milly waspletely stunned by the scene.


    This is… a bit over the top, isn’t it?


    Before she could process it all, she noticed Ivan had somehow appeared at the door, knocking precisely where Jordan was seated.


    Jordan adjusted his cufflinks and calmly said, “Alright, let’s go. It’s safe to get out now.”


    Milly was speechless.Content ? provided by N?velDrama.Org.


    So, her brother had this all <i>nned </i><i>out</i>? <i>How </i><i>else </i><i>could </i><i>the </i><i>bodyguards </i><i>have </i>shown up so <i>quickly</i><i>?</i>


    As soon as she stepped out of the car, the reporters‘ eyes lit up. Cameras started shing wildly at Milly, and microphones were thrust towards her, though the burly bodyguards held them at bay.


    “Ms. Milly, is it true you cheated on your exams?”


    “Ms. Milly, how did you manage to get Mr. Hawkins favor?”


    <i>“</i>Ms. Milly, is it true you didn’t get into college?”


    “Ms. Milly, your character Giselle in the film is highly educated. Do you think the audience will ept you in this role since you didn’t get into college?”


    “Ms. Milly…


    The noise was overwhelming, a chaotic chorus of questions, yet their focus was surprisingly consistent.


    Milly smirked. These reporters were good. They clearly saw her getting out of the Buts‘ car and knew her surname was But, yet they avoided any questions about the Buts and focused solely on her academic achievements.


    <i>Haha</i><i>, </i><i>they </i><i>were </i>following <i>orders </i><i>well</i><i>. </i><i>It </i><i>looked </i><i>like </i><i>someone </i><i>had </i><i>given </i><i>them </i><i>clear </i>instructions.


    She took a step forward, her sharp gaze sweeping over the reporters holding their microphones. With a calm tone, she asked, “I hear you’ve been looking for me?”


    Whether it was her strong presence or her piercing eyes, the reporters who had been moring just moments before suddenly fell silent.


    After a brief pause, one brave male reporter finally spoke up, holding his microphone towards her. “Ms. Milly, we’ve heard that your grades were poor and you didn’t get into a prestigious university. How did you end up ying the role of Giselle, a top student?”


    Milly let out a softugh before raising her head to look at the brave male reporter. “Rather than why I got the role of Giselle, I’m more curious about how you found out about my supposedly poor grades.”


    The reporter hesitated. “Uh, well…

    A female reporter quickly jumped in, her eyes gleaming. “We <b>have </b>evidence. Someone sent us your high school transcripts, clearly showing you were ranked in the middle to lower range of the ss<b>.</b><b>”</b>


    She confidently produced a piece of paper, which looked like a ranking <b>list</b>.


    Milly raised her eyebrow. She had only suspected Stephanie before, but now she <b>was </b>certain.


    After all, the only person who could have gotten the original transcripts was Stephanie.


    “Do you have any evidence to prove the authenticity of this transcript? There are so many people with the same name. You can’t just expect us to believe you without any proof.”


    The female reporter wasn’t backing down and quickly responded, “Well, Ms. Milly, do you have any evidence to prove that the Milly on this transcript isn’t you?”


    Milly replied, “It’s simple. I attended high school in Crestwood High’s ss A. Is the transcript in your hand from Crestwood High’s ss A?”


    The female reporter quickly checked the school and ss name on the transcript.


    It wasn’t from Crestwood High.


    “Well… what if you transferred, Ms. Milly?” the female reporter asked.


    Milly looked at her and smiled lightly. “Good question. But even if you don’t know me, you should know about Crestwood High, right? If that transcript you have is mine, and based on your reasoning, I’m clearly at the bottom of my ss. So how could I have gotten into Crestwood High? Everyone knows Crestwood High’s teaching standards. There’s no way they would make exceptions.”


    “Even if, hypothetically, I were that person and I did get into Crestwood High, let me ask you this. Even the worst ss at Crestwood High, ss D, can still get into a top university. How could anyone from there be considered a poor student?”
