Rather than wasting energy, it was more prudent to await the results and let her abilities speak for themselves. 

Jordan held Milly in high regard and understood her desire to handle things independently, so he refrained from interfering too much. He simply cautioned her that if she found herself unable to manage the situation, he would enlist the best legal representation to ensure she faced consequences. 

Milly was left speechless. Text © owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

Had he known it was his other sister who was responsible, he likely wouldn’t have made such a statement. To her surprise. Milly encountered Stephanie during the exam, causing her expression to darken instantly. It appeared that Stephanie was determined to remain a constant presence. 

Upon seeing Milly enter with a pen, Stephanie greeted her with a smile. “Milly, what a coincidence. It seems that we share an exam room.” 

Her voice was clear and melodious, capturing the attention of the entire room. 

Milly raised an eyebrow and, amidst the various gazes, confidently located her seat and sat down. 

As a movie star in her past life, she had encountered all sorts of situations. These petty tactics were beneath her and were not even worth acknowledging. 

Undeterred, Stephanie approached with a soft smile. “Milly, I’m aware of the incident with the blog. Rest assured, I believe in your integrity. While your previous grades may have been lacking, your recent efforts will surely yield improvement.” 

This remark subtly highlighted her past academic performance, suggesting she had no choice but to seek assistance at the eleventh hour. 

With folded arms, Milly scrutinised her before coolly remarking, “Even if my grades were subpar, I am still in Class A. But what about you, Stephanie? Weren’t you supposed to tutor me? Why are you still in the lowest–tier exam room? 

Stephanie’s expression soured instantly. 

At Crestwood High, exam rooms were arranged based on rankings. Despite her struggles to gain admission to Crestwood High, known for its competitive environment, maintaining her position was challenging, let alone advancing. Hence, she remained at the bottom of the class rankings. 

Melanie, who had always been friendly with Stephanie, could no longer stay silent. She stood up indignantly to defend her friend and rebuke Milly. “Stephanie was merely trying to extend a friendly greeting. Why did you mock her? Furthermore, upon entering the school, Stephanie’s scores surpassed yours. Why do you think you have the right to criticise her when you only scored 600 points?” 

Milly clicked her tongue. “The protagonist always garners supporters, doesn’t she? Wherever she goes, mindless defenders follow.” 

“Have you witnessed my scoring of 600 points? How can you be so certain that I am limited to that score?” Milly countered.

Melanie clenched her teeth. “Even our homeroom teacher, Ms. Hills, made that observation. Are you disputing her judgment?” 

Milly sneered, “She even 

essed a desire to remove me from Class A, yet here I remain. Her words are not law, so how reliable are they?” 

“Y–You’re speaking nonsense. When the exam results are out, we shall see what you have to say! Hmph Melanie was so incensed by Milly that she trembled with anger. If not for the inopportune timing, she might have been tempted to confront Milly physically. 

However, Milly was in high spirits. 

After several sleepless nights of studying, her mood was already somewhat irritable. Provoking her at this moment would only bring on her wrath. 

Milly cocked her head, gazed at the agitated Melanie, and smirked, a mischievous glint visible behind her oversized glasses. “If Lwere to score 700 points, or even higher, what would you two do then?” 

Then Stephanie and I will apologise to you in front of the whole school! Melanie quickly responded. As if afraid that Milly would change her mind, she continued, “But if you can’t score 700 points, then you have to take off your glasses, tie up your hair, and run laps on the field while admitting you’re an idiot, then quickly leave Crestwood High.” 

“Sure, it’s a deal!” Milly accepted the challenge. 

Stephanie’s expression changed momentarily when she heard the two of them make a bet. 

Melanie is such a fool; she actually let Milly lead her on, and she just followed her into the trap with a casual provocation. Besides, they made a bet between themselves; why did they have to involve met 

But then, she thought about it. 700points…. 

No matter how hard Milly tries, it’s impossible for her to improve so much in just two days. 

And even if I lose, all I have to do is apologise. If Milly loses, not only will she be embarrassed and kicked out of Crestwood High, but she will also have to reveal her bare face. I’m really curious about what Milly looks like. Since she hides herself so well, it must mean she’s extremely unattractive. 

Now that I think about it, this bet doesn’t seem too bad. 

Although Stephanie hid her emotions and thoughts deeply, as a veteran actress, Milly could still see through her inner thoughts at a glance. 

She sneered. 

Who knows who will come out on top. 

The first round was English. The late–night studying these days paid off, as Milly felt that she answered the questions smoothly. 

After finishing the last word of the composition, she let out a heavy sigh.. 

With the English subject over, she had gotten through the subject she was most worried about. Other

subjects, whether it was math, integrated science, or Spanish, were a piece of cake for her. 

Sure enough, during the integrated science exam, she finished all the questions in just an hour, handed in her paper early, and walked away. 

During the college entrance exam, papers could only be handled in half an hour early, but there was not such rule at Crestwood High. Their mock exams were notoriously difficult, so just finishing on time was already impressive, let alone finishing early. 

But today, someone broke that trend. 

The invigilator held Milly’s paper with a dumbfounded expression, and by the time he reacted, she was already far away. 

Could she have turned in a blank test paper? 

But when he lowered his head and took a closer look, he found that the solution steps were densely packed, and they were clear and accurate. 

Stephanie hadn’t even finished the first page yet. When she saw Milly had already turned in her paper, she almost dropped her pen. 

How could she be so fast? 

At this moment, she glanced at the calculation paper on Milly’s desk, which was clean and tidy. 

She couldn’t help but smile, thinking that she must have turned in a blank paper without even calculating anything! 

She could already imagine a disgustingly unattractive woman standing on the field, yelling that she was an idiot. Thinking about how amusing that would be, she couldn’t help but burst out laughing. 

The invigilator immediately warned with a stern face, “Focus on the exam. Do not make any noises that may affect the test.” 

Stephanie quickly suppressed her smile, but the corners of her lips just couldn’t go back down. 

Meanwhile, Anthony in Class A was calculating the first question. He had just finished writing down the answer when he caught sight of a familiar figure.
