When Stephanie spoke again, she had adopted a pitiful, hurt expression. She bit her lip and trembled slightly. “Milly, please don’t misunderstand me. I didn’t mean anything bad. I’m just afraid you might miss. out on your eptance letter and end up without a university to attend. All your hard work over the years would be wasted. It’s my fault for raising my voice, but I really care about you, Milly. You don’t me me, do you?”
Her voice choked up, and tears welled up in her reddened eyes, making her look utterly pitiful.
Immediately, Matthew and Xavier, who had always doted on her, were enraged. Their protective instincts red up instantly.
They red at Milly, their eyes filled with a desire to tear her apart. Stephanie was so kind, always thinking of Milly, yet Milly hadn’t offered a single word offort. She just stood there, watching Stephanie with <b>a </b>detached expression.
It was too much!
Xavier angrily confronted Milly, “Stephanie is only looking out for you. She genuinely <b>cares </b>about you like a sister. It’s not her fault if she got emotional. Can’t <b>you </b>at leastfort her? Is your heart made of stone?”
Matthew also voiced his indignation, “Exactly. You don’t act like <b>an </b>older sister at all. Stephanie is clearly the more mature one here.”
Milly listened quietly, not rushing to exin herself.
Meanwhile, Stephanie felt a surge of joy upon hearing Matthew and Xavier defend her. After they finished. scolding Milly, she pretended to intervene. “Matthew, Xavier, don’t speak about Milly <b>that </b>way. She <b>has </b><b>her</b>All content is property ? N?velDrama.Org.
reasons.”
“Reasons?” Xavier scoffed, full of disdain. “Stephanie, stop defending her. She knows perfectly well if she has any reasons. She’s just wasting your kindness.”
Milly couldn’t help butugh.
If someone else had <b>said </b><b>this</b><b>, </b>she might not have minded, but Xavier said it was just stirring up trouble. He worked in this field and knew that her program didn’t issue eptance letters. Students were admitted based on recognition alone.
Typil of the beloved heroine, she always had someone to back her up, no matter how senseless her words were.
“Are you all done yet?”
Anthony, sitting nearby, was so furious he was about to m the table and stand up, but Milly quickly held him back, signalling with her eyes for him to stay calm.
If Stephanie wanted to y games, Milly would y along. Ifit was apetition of acting skills, she wasn’t going to lose, especially <b>since </b>she had an award–winning <b>background</b>.
The Buts‘ rule of acting: Showtime!
When Milly looked up again, tears glistened at the corners of her eyes, her lips tightly pressed together,

“I never expected Matthew, Xavier, and Stephanie to think of me this way. I meant no harm. Stephanie started crying so suddenly <b>that </b>I wasn’t prepared. And I was just telling the truth–the eptance letter <b>really </b>hasn’t arrived. If others don’t know, that’s one thing, but Xavier, don’t you know?”
Xavier waspletely stunned by Milly’s sudden tears, forgetting to move.
Anthony <b>was </b>also taken aback, confused by Milly’s unexpected crying. <i>What </i>had just happened?
Only Xavier remained calm, pulling out a notebook from somewhere and frantically taking notes. This natural performance was something he could study for months!
At that moment, Milly looked as if she had suffered a great injustice, tears streaming down her face. She looked at him with a pitiful, helpless expression, and when he met her gaze, she quickly looked down and <b>wiped </b>her tears with her sleeve.
Xavier felt a strange pang in his chest. “I…
If Milly had acted as haughty as usual, he could have easily criticised her from his position <b>as </b>her brother. But now she was quietly crying and thinking back. She really <b>hadn’t </b>done anything wrong.
In his rush to defend Stephanie, he had forgotten that the special program at Crestfallen University didn’t issue eptance letters. Because of the small number of students, they just showed up with their ID cards for registration.
Realising his mistake, he found himself unable to speak the words offort forming on his lips.
Matthew, clearly also seeing Milly cry for the first time, was equally at a loss, stammering. “If you have something to say, just say it. Why are you crying?”
Thisment was like a bomb exploding. Milly looked up, her eyes red and teary, pointing a slender finger at Matthew’s nose. Her voice trembled with the remnants of her sobs. None of you wanted to listen. You both stood there, criticising me together. I know you don’t like me, but I am still your sister<b>!</b>
“Why can’t I cry? <b>I </b></dive back and get unjustly used by you all. I was telling the truth, but no one wanted to listen. You two <b>stood </b>together, pointing out my faults. I know you don’t like me, but I’m still your sister!
“I usually don’t mind you targeting me because I know you must have your reasons. I’ve gotten used to it. Normally, I wouldn’t say these things in front of Grandpa because he’s old and wants us to get along. But today is supposed to be a good day, <b>and </b>I’m just too sad…
Her sobbing intensified, as if she could no longer hold back her overwhelming sense of grievance, finally breaking down into <b>full</b>–blown crying.
The living room fell silent.
Stephanie’s face was twisted in anger.
That bith Milly!
This <b>was </b>definitely deliberate
She had almost seeded in making Milly look <b>bad</b>, but at the <b>critical </b>moment, Milly figured it out and used vulnerability to her advantage.

Now that Milly was crying, even if she was in the wrong, she seemed justified. People always sympathise with the weaker party, and Milly’s words painted them as the aggressors. No matter how they tried to exin, it wouldn’t look good.
Stephanie nced at Philip, who was sitting nearby. As expected, his previously cheerful expression had turned dark and grim.
“Matthew, Xavier, apologise to Milly!” Philipmanded in a cold voice.
Matthew and Xavier hesitated, their faces full of reluctance. “Grandpal<b>”</b>
Although they felt a bit guilty, it wasn’t enough to make them want to apologise.
Besides, Milly always bullied their beloved Stephanie. There was no way they’d willingly back down.
Milly, with her face hidden in her sleeves, smirked slightly. She could guess how much they were struggling internally, but she wasn’t going to let them off the hook.
Her sobs grew louder….
