Chapter 28 Seeking Help from Milly
Mnie’s heart skipped a beat. After a while, a wave of panic washed over her.

Her intuition told her that something significant had urred to her family. Something beyond her
control.
She looked at her mother, who was standing silently, weeping. Suppressing her inner fear, she
asked with a trembling voice, “Mom, what’s happening? Please don’t scare me. What’s going on?”
Emily looked at Mnie with a heavy heart and sobbed. “Mnie, our family’spany… has gone
bankrupt.”
Mnie felt as though the ground had crumbled beneath her feet. The news seems surreal.
Her
eyes widened in disbelief and fear as she shook her head, muttering, “No, this can’t be happening.
Everything seemed fine earlier. Dad even mentioned a major project that could significantly boost
ourpany’s revenue this year…
Her face paled. She desperately clutched her mother’s sleeve, hoping it was all a lie. “Mom, are you
serious? Is this because you didn’t want to buy me that new bag? I don’t need it, I swear. Please,
tell me this isn’t true.”
Tears welled in Emily’s eyes; her onceposed demeanour was shattered. She looked at Mnie
with pity and helplessness, “Mniec, when will you grow up?”
Mnie covered her ears and yelled hysterically, refusing to ept the harsh reality.
Her voice quivered as she eximed, “I refuse to believe it. How could we go bankrupt? You’re lying
to me! Yes! You’re lying!”
Fearing her daughter’s reaction, Emily embraced her. “Mnie, calm down. There might be a way
out of
this.”
Mnie stood still, repeating mechanically, “A way out?”
Even Jeff, sitting in shock on the floor, looked up hopefully, “Honey, is there really a solution? Can
we ovee this?”
Emily nodded, “Yes. Remember when you called for help earlier? Despite the rejections, they hinted
that someone was targeting ourpany because you offended people who shouldn’t be offended
in school. Think, Mnie, who have you shed with recently?”
Before marrying into the family, Emily Shaw was a sessful businesswoman in her own right.
However, after marrying Jeff Spencer, she slowly retreated behind the scenes, but her sharp
business acumen remained intact.
After calming down, she saw a glimmer of hope in the situation.
Since they all said Mnie had provoked people in the school, they can work hard on this. They
should apologise and makepensation, and things may turn around..
Mnie’s eyes were swollen, her hands clenched tightly as she reflected on the school feud…

Emily fin rowed her eyebrow, processing this information before asking. “Is she the Buts’s newly
recognised daughter?”
Mnie confirmed, “Yes. That’s her.”
But then she hesitated, “No. Stephanie and I are close friends. My conflict with Milly was to help
Stephanie: If the Buts were targeting us, Stephanie would have informed me
Emily remained silent, contemting the situation as her mind raced.
Their Spencer Group was less powerful than the But Group, but it was also an influential
company in the local area. It would be challenging for the But Group to bring them down
overnight.
There must be a greater force behind it.
“Mnie, call your close friend Stephanie, inform her about our bankruptcy, and observe her
reaction.”
Mnie hesitated, not wanting to lose face in front of her ssmates. “Mom, I…”
Emily could see through her daughter’s thoughts with just one look. Therefore, she sternly stared at
Mnie. “If you still want to continue attending school, living in this mansion, and buying designer
brands, you must listen to me!”
Mnie obediently took out her phone and made the call.
Meanwhile, Stephanie stood outside Milly’s door, hoping to gain Milly’s sympathy.
“Milly, congrattions on achieving first ce in the entire grade. If Mom and Dad knew, they would
be pleased.”
Milly leaned against the door, raising an eyebrow. “Did youe to my door just to thank me?”
She doubted the sincerity of this seemingly kind–hearted girl.
Stephanie immediately teared up, stepped forward, and gently grabbed Milly’s sleeve, choking back
tears.
“Milly, Mnie posted your previous grades on Crestwood High’s website and humiliated you. I only
found out about itter. I didn’t expect her jealousy to be so intense that she would hurt you so
much. If I had known earlier, I would have stopped her.”
“The bet was not my idea. It was her recklessness. Our rtionship is not good at all. We are just
ssmates. I never imagined she would involve me in the bet, causing a rift between us. Please
don’t be angry with me because of her actions.”
Milly was impressed by her maniption and deceit.
No wonder in the novel, it is the original owner or those business tycoons of the Buts, they have
been deceived by this girl. With this unpredictable face, even if she was a movie queen in my
previous life, she was out of reach of this acting ability.

Milly smiled slightly, intrigued by her tactics. “Oh? Is that all? Then I forgive you. If there’s nothing
else, I’ll go back to studying.”
With that, she turned around.
Stephanie didn’t expect Milly to forgive herself so easily. She initially thought it would take a lot of
effort.
Thus, she smiled and continued, “Since you’ve forgiven me, can you speak to the teacher and
resolve the issue of apologising under the national g? It all started because of Mnie.”
Milly chuckled at the request, realising the true intentions behind Stephanie’s visit.
She might have believed her innocence if she hadn’t read the original text.
ording to the description in the book, all the things Mnie did were for Stephanie. Stephanie
was fine. She took herself clean with just a sentence or two. She didn’t know whether Mnie, who
thought Stephanie was the embodiment of kindness and loveliness, would be furious when she
heard herself being ndered like this.
