    Chapter 252 She’s Familiar


    From here on, it’s my stage, Milly. You better be prepared for it!


    Stephanie’s intention to target Milly was obvious. Milly could feel her anger from afar.


    Milly squinted her eyes. She didn’t need to rack her brains to understand Stephanie’s petty


    schemes.


    Interesting!


    She wondered if things would turn out as Stephanie hoped.


    As expected, Stephanie began to unt herself like a proud peacock in front of the esteemed


    elders.


    “Old Mr. Lynch, my grades aren’t usually this good. It was mostly luck this time.”


    Frank liked her attitude. “Stephanie, you don’t have to be humble about your grades. Your grandpa


    already called us to brag about you. Saying that your family is blessed for having a top scorer!”


    Stephanie was confused. Grandpa called his friends to brag about me?


    He had just found out about my eptance to Adonio University. Did he even make a call?


    And who is he calling a “top scorer“? He’s exaggerating!


    Before she could think deeper, Doug Simmons, sitting nearby,ughed heartily, “Stephanie is not


    only a good student but also kind and humble. Philip is truly blessed to have suck


    a wonderful granddaughter.”


    Stephanie felt shy and blushed at thepliments. “You’re ttering me, Old Mr. Simmons.”


    The doubts in her heart dissipated. Perhaps they were mistaken, or maybe Grandpa had talked


    about my performance during previous exams. After all, they oftenpared everything, so it


    wasn’t unusual.


    With that, her fleeting panic vanished, and she calmly epted the praise from the elders.

    Philip, meanwhile, frowned deeply. He wanted to rify their misunderstanding. but he couldn’t


    interject at all. Their voicespletely blocked him.


    Moreover, seeing Stephanie’s bright smile, he didn’t want to embarrass her by speaking up.


    Oh well. Stephanie did score well this time. I’ll let it slide.


    However, Stephanie, basking in thepliments, didn’t think that way. An ideal shed in her mind,


    and she smiled and spoke softly, “Actually, my sister did well in the exams too.”


    She then looked at Milly and said, “Milly,e here.”


    Stephanie’s eyes were filled with glee.


    Milly looked at her expressionlessly. She was slightly amused by Stephanie’s constant plotting.


    Great, this could be a chance for me to expand my connections.


    Without hesitation, Milly walked over gracefully and greeted the elders, “Hello, I’m Milly. Nice to


    meet you all.”


    She wasn’t nervous at all.


    The three old men on the sofa were still sharp despite their age. With a nce, they could tell


    someone’s nature.


    The girl before them had kind eyes and a good demeanour.


    Thomas Scathings, who hadn’t spoken yet, was the first to react. Looking at Milly kindly, he said,


    “Milly… That’s a nice name.”


    Milly smiled slightly, “Thank you, Old Mr. Scathings. I think your Eagle Medal is much cooler.”


    Thomas was surprised. Not expecting her to recognise the medal on his chest, he pointed at it and


    asked excitedly, “You recognise this?”


    Milly politely replied, ‘Yes, but I only know a some of the information about. Eagles Organization. It’s


    a small team which consists of a dozen people who wiped out an enemy toon overnight and


    destroyed over ten enemy bases.

    “Although these events aren’t in history books, they’re passed down by word of mouth. I was


    interested and looked up some information online. There wasn’t much avable, so I only knew a


    little. I didn’t expect to see this medal in person today. It’s quite an eye–opener.”


    Thomas was impressed with Milly. By the end, he was nodding in approval.


    He hadn’t expected this young girl to know so much. Not only did she recognise the Eagle Medal,


    but she could also recount its history effortlessly, showing she had done her homework.


    He had worn this medal for years. Everyone thought it was a family heirloom, even his family


    members. None of them had recognised its true significance.


    Yet today, Milly had.


    After all, the Eagles Organization was a covert mission known to few. Most only knew the code


    name of this operation, with little else revealed.


    “What a smart girl!”


    Thomas’s eyes shone with great admiration and approval for Milly. Was it his imagination, or did this


    girl remind him of someone from his memories?


    Her demeanour, her features, her tone… they all seemed familiar….


    Seeing this, Stephanie’s earlier anger red up again. She had underestimated Milly. Even


    Thomas, known to be difficult, was charmed by her.


    She took a deep breath to calm herself and a smile, “Wow, I didn’t know


    Milly knew so much. I’ve really learned a lot. Milly, can you share more with me? I’d like to learn


    about these glorious historical events too. It would be useful for university.”


    Her interruption sessfully diverted Thomas’s attention.


    Seeing Stephanie’s eagerness, Milly asked disdainfully, “Are you sure?”


    Seeing that Thomas’s focus had shifted from Milly, Stephanie sighed with relief and quickly nodded,


    ying the obedient girl. “Yes, please.”


    “Umm, how about no?”
