The young female reporter arrived with a cameraman in tow. She asked, “Hello, are you Ms. Milly Burnett? I’m Trix Conner from the Avalon Network.” 

Milly smiled and said, “Yes, that’s me. Please, come in.” 

Her extraordinary demeanor and striking beauty made Trix momentarily flustered, a stark contrast to the cramped, cluttered room behind her. 

Trix knew her boundaries and simply nodded in acknowledgement. “Thank you.” 

Viola had prepared for the interview. She quickly cleaned the living room and set out tea and fruit. Not wanting to intrude, she retreated to Rita’s room. 

Trix took a seat, pulled out a prepared script, and started, “Ms. Burnett, these are the questions we’ll be covering. Please review them. If there are no issues, we’ll start the interview. 

“Don’t worry too much; this is a recorded interview. If anything needs to be corrected or adjusted, we can handle it in post–production.” 

Milly glanced over the questions, finding them quite ordinary and manageable. 

Except for the last one. Interview her parents. 

Milly frowned slightly and asked, “Can we skip the part about interviewing my parents?” 

Trix was taken aback. She didn’t get it and asked, “Oh? Is it inconvenient?” 

It was rare for parents not to want an interview when their child had achieved something as prestigious ast being the nation’s top scorer–an accomplishment that brings honor to the family and could even make the news. Most parents would already consider it quite restrained if they didn’t celebrate with a grand feast. and celebration. 

Milly pressed her lips together and said. “It’s inconvenient, indeed.” 

Trix was deeply troubled. She asked, “Can we have a phone call interview instead? We have to stick to a strict schedule, and if we cut out this part, we’ll have a time gap.” 

Currently, all the leaders are paying close attention to this matter. They even allocated a special segment during the prime–time news broadcast to air the interview video, which shows just how important this was to them. 

The segment featuring the parents interview was quite lengthy. If it gets canceled, there will be a significant gap that can’t be easily filled with other interview questions at the last minute. 

“If your parents aren’t available, we could interview another relative. We will only ask a few casual questions–nothing too difficult. 

Milly pondered. Her parents, both the Smiths and Burnetts, were abroad. It was nighttime across the globe, so a phone call was out 

Jordam’s frequent appearances on financial news made his voice instantly recognizable. Jonathan and Anthony were too unpredictable..

After much consideration, the only suitable candidate left was Philip. 

After considering her options, she asked, “My grandfather can accept the interview. He can do the interview over the phone, will that work?” 

Trix sighed in relief and nodded eagerly. She said, “That works. The interview is about half an hour. Let your grandfather know that you can expect the call then.” 

Milly nodded, then she text Jordan and explained the situation. 

The car was parked in a quiet alley. 

Philip asked Ivan for the eighth time, “Ivan, does my outfit look okay?” 

Ivan had no words. 

Eight times! He had asked the same question eight times, with the exact same tone. 

Ever since Jordan informed Philip that Milly had sent a message and that reporters would be interviewing him over the phone, the old man has been acting strangely. Usually disdainful of vanity, Philip started scrutinizing his attire with unusual care. 

But… 

It was a phone interview. Why worry about clothes? 

Ivan dared not ask a question. He simply replied with a professional smile and firm tone, “You look great. Master. Still energetic and youthfull 

No sooner had he said this, Philip asked for the tenth time, “Ivan, should I get a new hairstyle for the interview?” 

Ivan remained mute.. 

This old man was bald–shiningly bald. Why did he need to worry about his hairstyle? 

This job to be tougher than he thought. 

as proving 

Ivan forced a smile for the tenth time. He added, “It’s not necessarily. You look radiant, even with a bald head! 

This flattery clearly hit the mark with Philip. He rubbed his bald head and laughed heartily. “Hahaha, Ivan, you’ve got potential.” 

Ivan suppressed a shiver that ran down his spine. He wiped the sweat from his 

Speaking these words seemed to intensify the chill in the air. 

and said, “Of course.” 

Turning around, Ivan saw Jordan behind him, arms crossed and leaning against the chair. His face was as cold as the river in the biting winter, exuding an unmistakable icy aura. 

Of course, it made sense, Jason doted on Milly the most. While other bosses had famous paintings in their offices he had Milly’s perfect entrance exam naner framed and hanging on his wall.

Jordan would spend the first half–hour praising his sister whenever a potential business partner came to negotiate a contract. Only after they joined in on the admiration would he be willing to proceed with the 

discussion. 

Once, there was a potential partner with a significant project, but the boss was too stubborn to acknowledge Milly’s excellence, dismissing it as just an ordinary exam. This angered Jordan so much that his face turned icy, and he tossed his pen aside, causing the hard–earned project to fall through. 

Since then, praising the unseen yet famous Jordan’s sister for half an hour has become an unspoken rule for every company coming to negotiate a contract. 

Jordan opened his sister’s message with high expectations, only to discover that Philip was the subject of the interview. 

Considering this, his anger was understandable. 

In the spacious car, only Ivan and the driver sat in front. Both were shivering in fear. While Philip and Apollo, sitting next to Jordan, seemed completely oblivious to the cold atmosphere. 

Wait, if Mr. Burnett was upset with Ms. Milly, why should I endure this icy chill? Shouldn’t Ms. Milly be the one to feel 

Boohoo, this isn’t fair! 

Grandpa turned to look out the window and tapped his cane on the car floor for the twelfth time. He asked, “How long has it been? Why haven’t they called yet? Do these reporters have no sense of time?” 

Ivan was speechless again. 

It had only been about ten minutes. Didn’t Ms. Milly say she would call in half an hour? 

He used to think every second felt lilke eternity‘ was just a saying. Today, he realized it was a literal 

experience.
