Chapter 18 The Mastermind Behind the Rumors 

A united front? Commdes? Deserters! 

What on earth are these nonesense? 

William approached Milly mysteriously and whispered, “Boss, you won’t believe this, but after you scolded George and left in a cold manner last night, he actually sat in the living room feeling emotional! Can you imagine? Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.

“So, I made a silent promise to myself to master your techniques and presence, then gain my brother’s obedience, leading to success in life. However, Mr. Jarvis mentioned that your skills are meant to be experienced rather than taught. Therefore, I’ve chosen to diligently follow your example, surrounding myself with your influence. You can bravely marched ahead, I’ll always by your 

side!” 

Milly was at a loss of words. 

She helplessly rubbed his forehead under the thick bangs and said, “I’m not as capable as you think. Yesterday, I was just discussing things based on the situation. 

Clearly. William didn’t believe her. He said, “You’re too modest! Just the fact that you’re so unattractive but still able to make him fell head over heels, you’ve already surpassed 99.99% of women in this country!” 

Milly was unsure what to say. She was exhausted at this point and didn’t want to continue the conversation. 

Fortunately, William was a Tates. If he came from a modest family, he would probably have been beaten up or numerous times. 

It seemed like her prayers were answered as the bell for class rang. “Ring! Ring! Ring!” 

Milly breathed a sigh of relief. 

Finally, the quiet had been restored to the world. 

Anna entered the classroom with the textbook in hand. She slammed it heavily on the desk with a loud bang and announced, “Quiet everyone! Before the class begins, I have something to address.” 

As soon as she spoke, everyone stopped what they were doing and turned their attention to her. 

With a stern expression, Anna scanned the room and fixed her gaze on Milly by the window. Rolling her eyes, she started, 

“Today, I received an accusation letter. It alleges that a certain student–in our class doesn’t deserve to be in Class A based on merit, but rather through unfair means. I won’t mention any names, but I’m sure you all know who it is,” 

Everyone directed their gaze toward the back of the room. 

Under the scrutiny of many curious eyes, Milly found it hard to ignore. She simply furrowed her brows and remained silent. 

She was intrigued to see what Ms. Hill was going to do. 

Soon enough, she heard Anna’s firm voice declared, “Considering that this matter has seriously affected

have specially made an application to the school leaders. If she can achieve our class’s average score, 680 points for this round of exam, she can continue to stay in Class A. If not, she will be immediately dismissed. No one can cover for herl 

All the students were shocked by her words. No one had anticipated someone to file a report. It was very brave indeed! 

With only two days left before the mock exam, how could Milly possibly improve by eighty points in such a short time? She’s in trouble.” 

“Tsk tsk tsk! She barely arrived and already facing criticism. She had disgraced her family.” 

“Shh, lower your voice! Anthony is right next to you.” 

“What’s there to fear? Anthony himself said he doesn’t acknowledge Milly. He only has Stephanie as hist sister, who is beautiful and kind. If it were me, I would only acknowledge her. 

Anthony’s expression darkened as he clenched the pen in his hand. “Snap!” the plastic pen barrel actually snapped under his forceful grip. 

He had brought this up before, but it was their family’s affair. What concern was it of these people? 

He was about to stand up and speak, but a voice interjected. 

“Ms. Hill, this isn’t right, isn’t it? The country has its laws and the school has its rules. Since my boss was. able to pass the assessment and get special permission from the principal to enter Class A, it shows that she has her own abilities. What right do you have to deny her ability?” William stood up and spoke loudly. 

He was tall and handsome, standing there confidently and speaking eloquently, resembled some of George’s demeanor. 

Wait a minute… 

Why was she think of that man?! 

Terrified. Milly quickly shook her head to dispel the image of George from her mind. 

Anna didn’t expect William to stand up and speak up for Milly. He even went against her in front of so many people and embarassed her. Anna expression immediately turned glum. 

When she thought about William’s grades and his family influence, she forcibly suppressed the urge to lash out. Anna said, “She had acting against the principle of fairness. If everyone sneaks in like she did, wouldn’t it be unfair to others?” 

Her words immediately gained the approval of many people in the class. 

However, William didn’t allow her to divert his thoughts in the slightest, and continued to argue, “Leaving aside whether this complaint letter has been confirmed or not, whether it’s true or a prank, even regarding what you call fairness, have you achieved it? Fairness means treating all participants impartially, reasonably, and equally, but you’re wielding an unconfirmed complaint letter arrogantly. Is this what you call fairness? As a teacher, don’t you think what you’re doing is wrong?” 

“You!” Anna was so angry that her face turned red. Her fingers trembling as she pointed at him as she panted heavily.

William rolled his eyes and looked at Milly with a smug expression, saying, “Don’t worry boss, I got your 

back.” 

Milly sighed and looked at Anna, who was still gasping for breath at the podium, worried that she might 

pass out. 

Standing up slowly, with a detached chilly tone, Milly said, “Ms. Hill, since you don’t believe in me, then I’ll let my grades do the talking. You just mentioned that you’ll let me stay here if I scoring 680 points. Previously, you also told me that if I scored 700 points, I could become the class president. I hope you won’t go back on your word.” 

Anna touched her chest. She slowly calming down and coldly snorted, “Hmph, of course.” 

Milly smiled and sat down slowly. 

In the past few days, she had almost memorized the weakest subject which was language. She should have no problem after studying for writing essay for two more days. 

She couldn’t score 750 points, but 700 points were more than enough. 

The two days passed quickly, and it was time for the exam in the blink of an eye. 

During this time, the blog’s article continued to escalate. Coupled with the fact that Milly had no intention of explaining herself, it only worsened the situation. Even Jordan, who worked at the company, found out 

about it. 

He was so angry that he contacted the senior management of the blog overnight and insisted on exposing the mastermind behind the rumors, but was stopped by Milly. 

Using such methods to solve the issue would only confirm her identity as a rich girl but there would be no other benefits.
