Chapter 13


    A figure interrupted Milly’s train of thought as she was memorizing a poem. Her expression


    darkened immediately. “Please move aside,” she said firmly. Stephanie felt Milly’s icy gaze pierce


    through her; she trembled and instinctively wanted to retreat. However, upon realizing this fool had


    been admitted to Crestwood High, she stopped in her tracks. Blinked, Stephanie quickly concealed


    her jealousy and changed to a pleasant expression. She approached Milly, grabbed her arm, and


    said, “Milly, I was surprised earlier. Please don’t take it to heart. “How did you manage to get into


    Crestwood High with your grades? Did you sneak in?” Stephanie’s tone was sharp, almost causing


    Milly’s ears to ring. Pulling her arm away, Milly distanced herself and replied, “That’s none of your


    business.”


    With Stephanie’s intelligence, how did she score six hundred points in the exam? Did she think the


    school’s security guards were blind? They would allow someone to sneak in and leave the school


    premises. Despite this, Stephanie was convinced of her beliefs. Especially when she saw Milly walk


    away, Stephanie became more convinced that she had guessed right. The broodingness in her


    heart was instantly gone. She quickly took two steps to catch up with Milly. “Hey, slow down. I know


    you want to make Mom and Dad proud by getting into Crestwood High, but you can’t resort to


    sneaky tactics. You have to admit your mistake to the teacher. I’m sure they won’t me you.”


    “Vanity harms both yourself and others. If you truly want to excel academically, I can help you with


    your studies. Don’t worry; as long as you pay attention, you can definitely get into a good second-


    tier high school.” Second-tier university? Haha! This is amusing. Milly stopped in her tracks. She


    turned to Stephanie with a neutral expression and asked, “Oh? Do you want to help me? How many


    marks can you score now? 750 marks?” Stephanie’s expression darkened, especially when she


    noticed the mocking expressions of passersby. She forced a smile and said, “Haha, you surely like


    to joke.


    750 are the full marks.” This b*tch! I bet she did this on purpose. No one could score full marks in


    the college entrance exam. Millyughed disdainfully. “You can’t score full marks. Aren’t you


    embarrassed by your offer to tutor me?” “Pff!” The students passing by couldn’t help but burst into


    laughter with their exchanges. “You … !” Stephanie’s eyes had turned red with the humiliation. She


    was on the verge of tears. Anthony witnessed the scene as he came out of the school gate.


    Stephanie was in distress, with her eyes red and looking pityful. Meanwhile, Milly looked coldly from


    the side and seemed condescending. Anthony straightaway stood in front of Stephanie and


    confronted Milly, “Are you bullying her?” Milly looked at Anthony, who suddenly showed up before


    her. She raised an eyebrow and asked, “Have you seen me bullying her?” Anthony clenched his fist


    and said, “Stephanie is upset! How dare you deny this?” Stephanie tugged on Anthony’s sleeve with


    red eyes. She said, “Anthony, don’t me my sister; she didn’t mean to.”


    Milly clicked her tongue at the drama unfolding. What a b*tch! Stephanie had lived with her brothers


    for so long that she certainly knew their personalities well and was aware of how to manipte


    them. Sure enough, after she said those words with hidden meanings, Anthony became mad. He


    demanded, “Milly, apologize to Stephanie now!” Milly coldly sneered and rebuked, “Why should I?”


    Anthony hated the way she red at him. Clearly, she could be very friendly to everyone during the


    day. The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. He blurted out, “If you don’t apologize,


    you won’t be my sister anymore!” In an instant, the atmosphere around them stagnated. Milly slowly


    raised her eyes to look at him. The previous brightness was gone, reced by lifelessness,


    dullness, and chilling indifference. At that moment, although she hadn’t moved, Anthony felt like


    there was a chasm between them. After a while, she said coldly, “Oh, you don’t want me to be your


    sister, so be it. Please stay away from me in the future. I don’t want to see you again.” With that,


    she turned and left. Anthony felt a rage pent up in his chest, unable to go up or down, feeling very


    ufortable. Especially when he thought of the icy gaze that Milly had just given him, his heart


    seemed to tighten in an instant, making the difort even more intense. Stephanie hid behind


    Anthony. When she saw him protect her and witnessed the conflict between the two, she couldn’t


    stop smiling. See! The true daughter has returned, but so what? I’m still the precious and darling in


    their eyes. My status is still unshakable. She raised her hand and pretended she was wiping the


    tears from the corner of her eye. Stephanie suppressed the smile on her lips desperately; she then


    tugged at Anthony’s sleeve and said pitifully, “Don’t argue with Miley for my sake. She didn’t mean


    it.”


    Anthony put his thoughts aside and felt sorry for how pitiful she looked. He instantly shoved aside


    the difort in his heart and rubbed her hair tofort her. He said, “It’s okay; you’re my sister,


    and I won’t let anyone hurt you.” Moved, Stephanie’s eyes welled up with tears and she said,


    “Thank you, Anthony.” Then she nced at Milly, who was not far away, and blinked her eyes. She


    casually asked, “Should we invite Miley to ride home together?” In the evening, it was usually their


    driver who came to pick them up after school. Anthony’s expression stiffened. He recalled that


    Milley just arrogantly told them to stay away from her. He was instantly furious. With a cold snort, he


    said, “Hmph, if she doesn’t want to see us, she can find her own way home.” … Milly had no


    intention of getting in her family car. The thought that she needed to face that b*tch if she rode in


    the car was worse than reciting the poem while walking. “In the fall, during the seventh month’s full


    moon, two men sailed near the Red Cliffs. A gentle breeze whispered through the air, causing


    ripples on the water.” She merely began, but a figure appeared in front of her again. “Ms. But,


    it’s been a while.” Milly suddenly felt Crestwood High was bad for her, as she kept running into


    people she didn’t want to see.This text is property of N?/velD/rama.Org.
