Get Spoiled after Travelling into A Novel

Chapter 248 Apologise to Milly When Stephanie spoke again, she had adopted a pitiful, hurt expression. She bit her lip and trembled slightly. "Milly, please don't misunderstand me. I didn't mean anything bad. I'm just afraid you might miss. out on your acceptance letter and end up without a university to attend. All your hard work over the years would be wasted. It's my fault for raising my voice, but I really care about you, Milly. You don't blme, do you?" Her voice choked up, and tears welled up in her reddened eyes, making her look utterly pitiful.

Immediately, Matthew and Xavier, who had always doted on her, were enraged. Their protective instincts flared up instantly.

They glared at Milly, their eyes filled with a desire to tear her apart. Stephanie was so kind, always thinking of Milly, yet Milly hadn't offered a single word of comfort. She just stood there, watching Stephanie with a detached expression.

It was too much! Xavier angrily confronted Milly, "Stephanie is only looking out for you. She genuinely cares about you like a sister. It's not her fault if she got emotional. Can't you at least comfort her? Is your heart made of stone?" Matthew also voiced his indignation, “Exactly. You don't act like an older sister at all. Stephanie is clearly the more mature one here." Milly listened quietly, not rushing to explain herself.

Meanwhile, Stephanie felt a surge of joy upon hearing Matthew and Xavier defend her. After they finished. scolding Milly, she pretended to intervene. “Matthew, Xavier, don't speak about Milly that way. She has her reasons." "Reasons?" Xavier scoffed, full of disdain. "Stephanie, stop defending her. She knows perfectly well if she has any reasons. She's just wasting your kindness." Milly couldn't help but laugh.

If someone else had said this, she might not have minded, but Xavier said it was just stirring up trouble. He worked in this field and knew that her program didn't issue acceptance letters. Students were admitted based on recognition alone.

Typil of the beloved heroine, she always had someone to back her up, no matter how senseless her words were. "Are you all done yet?" Anthony, sitting nearby, was so furious he was about to slam the table and stand up, but Milly quickly held him back, signalling with her eyes for him to stay calm.

If Stephanie wanted to play games, Milly would play along. Ifit was a competition of acting skills, she wasn't going to lose, especially since she had an award-winning background.

The Burnetts' rule of acting: Showtime! When Milly looked up again, tears glistened at the corners of her eyes, her lips tightly pressed together, L af but and dann hennth Chapter 248 Apologise to Milly "I never expected Matthew, Xavier, and Stephanie to think ofthis way. I meant no harm. Stephanie started crying so suddenly that I wasn't prepared. And I was just telling the truth-the acceptance letter really hasn't arrived. If others don't know, that's one thing, but Xavier, don't you know?" Xavier was completely stunned by Milly's sudden tears, forgetting to move.

Anthony was also taken aback, confused by Milly's unexpected crying. What had just happened? Only Xavier remained calm, pulling out a notebook from somewhere and frantically taking notes. This natural performance was something he could study for months! At that moment, Milly looked as if she had suffered a great injustice, tears streaming down her face. She looked at him with a pitiful, helpless expression, and when he met her gaze, she quickly looked down and wiped her tears with her sleeve.

Xavier felt a strange pang in his chest. "I...

If Milly had acted as haughty as usual, he could have easily criticised her from his position as her brother. But now she was quietly crying and thinking back. She really hadn't done anything wrong.

In his rush to defend Stephanie, he had forgotten that the special program at Crestfallen University didn't issue acceptance letters. Because of the small number of students, they just showed up with their ID cards for registration.

Realising his mistake, he found himself unable to speak the words of comfort forming on his lips.

Matthew, clearly also seeing Milly cry for the first time, was equally at a loss, stammering. “If you have something to say, just say it. Why are you crying?" This comment was like a bomb exploding. Milly looked up, her eyes red and teary, pointing a slender finger at Matthew's nose. Her voice trembled with the remnants of her sobs. None of you wanted to listen. You both stood there, criticisingtogether. I know you don't like me, but I am still your sister! "Why can't I cry? I cback and get unjustly accused by you all. I was telling the truth, but no one wanted to listen. You two stood together, pointing out my faults. I know you don't like me, but I'm still your sister! "I usually don't mind you targetingbecause I know you must have your reasons. I've gotten used to it. Normally, I wouldn't say these things in front of Grandpa because he's old and wants us to get along. But today is supposed to be a good day, and I'm just too sad...

Her sobbing intensified, as if she could no longer hold back her overwhelming sense of grievance, finally breaking down into full-blown crying.

The living room fell silent.

Stephanie's face was twisted in anger.

That bith Milly! This was definitely deliberate

She had almost succeeded in making Milly look bad, but at the criticalm moment Milly figured it out and used vulnerability to her advantage. Chapter 248 Apologise to Milly

Now that Milly was crying, even if she was in the wrong, she seemed justified. People always sympathise with the weaker party, and Milly's words painted them as the aggressors. No matter how they tried to explain, it wouldn't look good. Stephanie glanced at Philip, who was sitting nearby. As expected, his previously cheerful expression had turned dark and grim.

"Matthew, Xavier, apologise to Milly!" Philip commanded in a cold voice.

Matthew and Xavier hesitated, their faces full of reluctance. “Grandpal" Although they felt a bit guilty, it wasn't enough to make them want to apologise.

Besides, Milly always bullied their beloved Stephanie. There was no way they'd willingly back down.

Milly, with her face hidden in her sleeves, smirked slightly. She could guess how much they were struggling internally, but she wasn't going to let them off the hook. Her sobs grew louder... NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.
