Chapter 7


    George received a signal from his grandfather, pursed his lips, and said, “Mr. But is correct, this


    is indeed a bit presumptuous.” Jordan, seeing that he understood the situation, nodded, “Thank you


    for your understanding, Mr. Tate.” Upon hearing his words, Millypletely rxed, and her tense


    shoulders loosened. She really didn’t want to get married as soon as she arrived! And she was


    going to marry this man, who was obviously not easy to deal with! Earlier in the garden, she had


    threatened him so much. If she really married him, she didn’t know how he would treat her. George


    naturally also saw Milly behind Jordan rx, a hint of a meaningful smile suddenly appeared on his


    face. No rush. Only when the hedgehog puts away its spines will it allow itself to be approached by


    its soft belly. ……


    The next day arrived. When Milly came downstairs, everyone was already waiting for her at the


    dining table. Stephanie saw hering downstairs, her face full of enthusiasm, but her eyes were


    still a bit swollen. “Milly, good morning.” The overly affectionate tone made Milly frown, but she still


    nodded. Jordan waved to her and whispered, “Milly,e sit next to me.” Milly obediently nodded.


    Jordan ced a peeled egg on her te and whispered, “Milly, eat the egg.” Milly looked at the


    boiled egg with some resistance, her furrowed brow full of disgust. She hated boiled eggs the most,


    especially the yolks! She used to be an actress and had to maintain her figure, so she had to eat


    boiled eggs every day, and it instilled a dislike for boiled eggs in her. “Milly, did you sleep wellst


    night? Mom told me that your room was decorated ording to mine. I don’t know if you are used


    to it. If there is anything you are not satisfied with, just tell me, and I will help you modify it.”


    Stephanie said it enthusiastically.


    When Milly heard Stephanie’s roundabout words, she couldn’t help but frown. Her good mood early


    in the morning waspletely ruined by the boiled egg on the te and the idiot in front of her! She


    was hinting, both directly and indirectly, that Milly was just her substitute. Haha, how naive! But now,


    seeing Stephanie full of vitality, it seemed like she had already appeased her parents early in the


    morning. Hmm, not that stupid. Even if Milly was immature, she was still her parents’ flesh and


    blood. As long as she came back, she would not be sent away again. But Stephanie was different.


    She was adopted by the Buts. After raising her for so long, it could be considered fulfilling their


    duty. If she didn’t firmly hold on to Milly’s parents, then it really wouldn’t be good in the future. In the


    Buts, Stephanie was the pampered youngdy with no worries about food and clothing! If she


    really left the Buts, she would be nothing. She would never be content with the days of taking


    the bus to school and living in a small rental room. Olivia was a simple woman, so she didn’t catch


    the meaning in Stephanie’s words, “Milly, if you need anything, just tell me.” Milly didn’t like


    Stephanie, but she really liked this mother. When she heard her concern, the stiff lines on her face


    immediately softened a lot. “I slept wellst night, Mom, you don’t have to worry.” Olivia breathed a


    sigh of relief,


    “That’s good.” “By the way, Milly, just now Mom and Dad asked which high school you want to go to.


    My ssmates are at the attached high school. If you go there, I can have them take care of you.”


    Stephanie raised her eyebrows and said. The attached high school, Wan Adonio, is a mediocre high


    school, neither good nor bad. This remark made Jordan’s brow furrow. How could his own dear


    sister go to such a low-ss school? “Don’t go to the attached high school, the facilities there are


    too poor. Milly, I know the principal of Burd High. I will donate aboratory building to them, and


    you can go to school there,” Jordan said calmly. Burd High was a prestigious institution in Adonio,


    where the students were either wealthy or from noble backgrounds. They attended school merely to


    obtain a diploma, and academic performance was not a priority, as they typically went on to study


    abroad after graduation.


    Milly understood Jordan’s good intentions, but now that she had the opportunity for a fresh start in


    life, she was eager to focus on her studies and not waste any time. “Jordan, I prefer to attend


    Crestwood High instead of Burd High,” Milly stated firmly. Upon hearing this, everyone’s eyes


    widened in surprise. Crestwood High was renowned for attracting top students, boasting an


    impressive university admission rate of ny-eight percent. The school had a reputation for strict


    admissions policies, with no exceptions for influential individuals. Even the child of a provincial


    governor would have to pass the entrance exam honestly to gain admission. “Um … ” Jordan


    hesitated. Stephanie smirked, feigning kindness. “Milly, it’s quite challenging to get into Crestwood


    High. Anthony and I spent countlesste nights studying for a year just to secure our spots.” Her


    tone wasced with arrogance. Despite her efforts, she barely met the qualifying criteria. “And withThis text is property of N?/velD/rama.Org.


    the college entrance exam approaching in two months, the academic pressure at Crestwood High is


    intense. Milly, you may struggle to cope,” Stephanie added. In response, Milly raised her eyebrows,


    disying open disdain, “Is that so? You two must be truly stupid.” “Why you … ” Stephanie flushed


    with anger.


    While her academic performance was not exceptional, the mere mention of studying at Crestwood


    High elicited praise for her promising future. Being called stupid was a first for her! Undeterred by


    Stephanie’s reaction, Milly set down her bowl and said, “Jordan, I have made my decision. I will


    attend Crestwood High, and I assure you that I will rely on my own abilities to seed in the


    exams.” Observing her resolute expression, Jordan nodded. “Alright, I believe in you.” “However, do


    not burden yourself excessively. I am financially secure and can provide for youfortably for the


    rest of your life, even if you choose to live a carefree lifestyle. I can afford it.”


    He now wished he could support Milly indefinitely to make amends for past regrets. Ever since he


    was reborn, he has been avoiding the things that would lead to hispany’s bankruptcy. With his


    experience of building apany in his past life, he knew the family would never go bankrupt.


    Unaware of his thoughts, Milly twitched her mouth upon hearing his offer of support. Recalling the


    depiction of the Buts’ financial downfall in the book, she pondered who would be supporting


    whom in the future. Confident not only in her ability to humble Stephanie’s arrogance but also in her


    own capabilities, Milly had pursued an academic path in her previous life within the entertainment


    industry. Despite not attending college at the time, she worked diligently to earn a Ph.D. from a


    reputable university, establishing a sessful career.
