Chapter 247 Take the Path of the Bit*h, Leave the Bit*h Nowhere to Go
Stephanie’s tone had a playful whine, just like usual, and nothing seemed different. But only she knew that she was drenched in cold sweat, her back soaked through.
Milly pressed her lips together, her gaze seemingly unintentionally passing over Stephanie and Jeffrey’s faces…
Although she couldn’t quite figure out the strange atmosphere between them, she was certain of one thing: Stephanie was afraid of Jeffrey.
Despite Stephanie’s efforts to hide her emotions, Milly noticed. After all, being an actress made her more sensitive to emotions than most people.
But why?
According to the book’s plot, Jeffrey, as the third brother, was supposed to be the one who doted on. Stephanie the most among her brothers. Why would she be so scared of him? So scared that she couldn’t control it?
Wait. Something’s not right…
The current Stephanie wasn’t the same as the one in the book. This was a reborn Stephanie, a new person. This meant that the reborn Stephanie was afraid of Jeffrey.
Could it be that Jeffrey did something to her in her previous life that left her with this fear?
Given this, there was only one possibility left.
But what could have happened to make Jeffrey, who adored Stephanie to the point of almost giving her his heart, suddenly change so drastically? What could have made him stop doting on her and even do something to scare her…?
It was indeed quite a mystery.
Thinking about it, Milly felt a wave of regret. If only she had finished reading that book, she wouldn’t be stuck guessing now. Now, she had to rely on her own thinking to figure out what might happen next.
And who knew if the author of the book was even thinking clearly? If the author was crazy, there was no way she’d guess the right plot anyway.
This sad experience taught her that she should never abandon a book halfway. If she ever ended up in one, she’d regret it for life!
Milly hadn’t finished lamenting when she suddenly heard Stephanie call her name. “Milly, I’ve been so busy these days that I didn’t have a chance to ask you. How did your exams go? Which university did apply to? If we’re close by, we can look out for each other.”

Well, she hit the nail on the head this time. Crestfallen University and Adonio University were really close to each other, both located in Adonio, just a couple of blocks apart.
Milly nodded. “Yep.”
This response completely puzzled Stephanie. What did “Yep” mean? Could it be that her school was also near Adonio University?

There seemed to be only three universities near Adonio University–Crestfallen University, Crestfield University, and an obscure technical college. She had checked the admission lists for Crestfallen University, Crestfield University, and Adonio University, and Milly’s name wasn’t on any of them. She even checked the lists for regular universities, and still, no Milly. Considering Milly’s bottom–of–the–class performance at that lousy high school, it made sense that she would end up at a technical college.
With this thought, Stephanie’s eyes lit up, a strong surge of excitement rushing through her. Her fingers trembled with anticipation. “Milly, is your school really close to mine?”
Milly raised an eyebrow, giving a faint “Yeah,” not understanding why Stephanie was suddenly so excited. She didn’t buy Stephanie’s talk about looking out for each other.
Seeing Milly nod in acknowledgment, Stephanie could hardly contain her excitement, her breathing becoming rapid with enthusiasm. “That’s fantastic! Has your acceptance letter arrived, Milly? I’d love to see
it.”
This was the final confirmation she needed.
While she believed her guess was right, it was still just a guess. Only concrete evidence could truly crush Milly and keep her down.
She wanted to see it. Adonio University, a prestigious school, against an obscure, trashy college. She wondered how Milly would compete this time.
Not even Jordan’s protection would help her now.
Stephanie’s smugness was so obvious that Milly couldn’t ignore it, even if she wanted to.
Seeing Stephanie flaunting herself, it was clear she didn’t know Milly had been accepted to Crestfallen University. Xavier hadn’t told her.
Of course… If she knew, she wouldn’t be acting so smug.
Now it all makes sense.
No wonder Stephanie has been steering the conversation towards grades and universities since she arrived. She had been waiting for this moment, thinking she had it all figured out.
When Stephanie heard Milly’s school was near Adonio University, she got so excited, almost jumping up and down. She must have thought Milly was going to some unknown, crappy college.
A hint of amusement flashed in Milly’s eyes. Things were getting interesting.
Initially, Milly didn’t want to engage in petty games with Stephanie. But since Stephanie was practically begging for it, she couldn’t resist.
Stephanie thought she had Milly cornered. She believed Philip favoured her. Milly decided to use this situation to teach Stephanie a lesson through Philip, to make her back off for a while.
Milly licked her lips and feigned a bit of hesitation. “Oh, that acceptance letter? I… haven’t received it yet.”
Strictly speaking, she wasn’t lying. She hadn’t received Crestfallen University’s acceptance letter because the Life Sciences and Theoretical Research program didn’t need one.
But to Stephanic, Milly’s hesitant and awkward demeanour seemed like she was too embarrassed to admit

her poor results. Stephanie immediately put on a concerned look. “Milly, school starts in two days. Adonio University’s:
letters were the last to be sent out. If you haven’t received yours yet, could the
school have missed you? This is serious. Shouldn’t you check with the school?”
Milly blinked calmly. “No need. I asked the school’s teacher earlier. They said I could just show up for registration.”
“That’s not okay!” Stephanie suddenly interrupted, her voice sharp.
The room fell silent. Even Philip glanced at her, puzzled by her sudden outburst.
Realising her mistake, Stephanie quickly tried to compose herself. She couldn’t lose her cool. Her goal was to embarrass Milly and step on her. “Um…”
