Chapter 236 Offended Someone? 

Milly pulled out her phone and checked Twitter. As expected, her name was trending again. She didn’t need to open the comments to know the comments would be harsh. 

A newbie like her, making headlines every few days, must be annoying even the casual onlookers by now. 

Just then, she saw a message from Bonnie, straightforwardly asking, “Milly, have you offended someone?” 

Milly sneered. Offended someone? 

I can’t say I offended someone, but I must have been asking for trouble. 

Only an idiot wouldn’t see that someone was out to get her, relentlessly digging up dirt, stirring public opinion, and desperately trying to drag her down. 

After taking a deep breath, Milly replied, “Bonnie, don’t worry about it. I’ll take care of it.” 

Bonnie was a little worried, and said, “Are you sure you don’t need my help?” 

“No need, I know who’s behind it,” Milly responded. 

She looked up and met Jordan’s gaze. 

He seemed to understand her thoughts without asking, and simply said, “Don’t be afraid.” 

Her restless heart calmed instantly, and she couldn’t help but smile. “Thanks, Jordan.” 

She then turned to look out the window, her face was gloomy. 

She had entered the entertainment industry to hide her identity as a member of the Burnetts. There was no way those reporters could have known. Plus, today’s visit to the memorial service wasn’t publicized. How did they manage to find the Su family’s car and intercept it on the road so accurately? 

The answer was obvious. Someone tipped them off. And whoever had such detailed knowledge of the Burnetts‘ movements had to be someone from within. 

So, the question remains, why didn’t the reporters just wait at the Burnetts‘ house? Why intercept her on the road instead? 

It must be because the informant didn’t want her identity exposed either. After all, as the eldest daughter of the Burnetts, people would want to curry favor with her. Clearly, this person didn’t want that to happen. 

Given all this, it’s obvious who it is. 

Stephanie didn’t mind causing trouble, repeatedly scheming behind the scenes. If Milly stayed silent, she would continue facing endless problems and unwanted attention. 

If playing nice doesn’t work, it’s time to get tough! 

With this thought, Milly’s eyes turned icy. She reached for the car door but was suddenly stopped. “Hold 

on!” 

Milly looked puzzled.

Jordan pulled out his phone and quickly sent a message. Moments later, the sound of synchronized footsteps echoed from outside. 

Looking out, she saw a large group of bodyguards in black suits and sunglasses, over a hundred of them. They swiftly and efficiently cleared the reporters surrounding the car. 

Milly was completely stunned by the scene. 

This is… a bit over the top, isn’t it? 

Before she could process it all, she noticed Ivan had somehow appeared at the door, knocking precisely where Jordan was seated. 

Jordan adjusted his cufflinks and calmly said, “Alright, let’s go. It’s safe to get out now.” 

Milly was speechless. 

So, her brother had this all planned out? How else could the bodyguards have shown up so quickly? 

As soon as she stepped out of the car, the reporters‘ eyes lit up. Cameras started flashing wildly at Milly, and microphones were thrust towards her, though the burly bodyguards held them at bay. 

“Ms. Milly, is it true you cheated on your exams?” 

“Ms. Milly, how did you manage to get Mr. Hawkins favor?” 

“Ms. Milly, is it true you didn’t get into college?” 

“Ms. Milly, your character Giselle in the film is highly educated. Do you think the audience will accept you in this role since you didn’t get into college?” 

“Ms. Milly… 

The noise was overwhelming, a chaotic chorus of questions, yet their focus was surprisingly consistent. 

Milly smirked. These reporters were good. They clearly saw her getting out of the Burnetts‘ car and knew her surname was Burnett, yet they avoided any questions about the Burnetts and focused solely on her academic achievements. 

Haha, they were following orders well. It looked like someone had given them clear instructions. 

She took a step forward, her sharp gaze sweeping over the reporters holding their microphones. With a calm tone, she asked, “I hear you’ve been looking for me?” 

Whether it was her strong presence or her piercing eyes, the reporters who had been clamoring just moments before suddenly fell silent. 

After a brief pause, one brave male reporter finally spoke up, holding his microphone towards her. “Ms. Milly, we’ve heard that your grades were poor and you didn’t get into a prestigious university. How did you end up playing the role of Giselle, a top student?” 

Milly let out a soft laugh before raising her head to look at the brave male reporter. “Rather than why I got the role of Giselle, I’m more curious about how you found out about my supposedly poor grades.” 

The reporter hesitated. “Uh, well…

A female reporter quickly jumped in, her eyes gleaming. “We have evidence. Someone sent us your high school transcripts, clearly showing you were ranked in the middle to lower range of the class.” 

She confidently produced a piece of paper, which looked like a ranking list. 

Milly raised her eyebrow. She had only suspected Stephanie before, but now she was certain. 

After all, the only person who could have gotten the original transcripts was Stephanie. 

“Do you have any evidence to prove the authenticity of this transcript? There are so many people with the same name. You can’t just expect us to believe you without any proof.” 

The female reporter wasn’t backing down and quickly responded, “Well, Ms. Milly, do you have any evidence to prove that the Milly on this transcript isn’t you?” 

Milly replied, “It’s simple. I attended high school in Crestwood High’s Class A. Is the transcript in your hand from Crestwood High’s Class A?” 

The female reporter quickly checked the school and class name on the transcript. 

It wasn’t from Crestwood High. 

“Well… what if you transferred, Ms. Milly?” the female reporter asked. 

Milly looked at her and smiled lightly. “Good question. But even if you don’t know me, you should know about Crestwood High, right? If that transcript you have is mine, and based on your reasoning, I’m clearly at the bottom of my class. So how could I have gotten into Crestwood High? Everyone knows Crestwood High’s teaching standards. There’s no way they would make exceptions.” 

“Even if, hypothetically, I were that person and I did get into Crestwood High, let me ask you this. Even the worst class at Crestwood High, Class D, can still get into a top university. How could anyone from there be considered a poor student?”
