Get Spoiled after Travelling into A Novel

Chapter 286 The Coming-of-Age Celebration

Milly found herself momentarily lost for words among the crowd as she overheard her classmates praising Stephanic.

Isn't military training a common experience for everyone at camp? Stephanie's no different from the rest of us, so what makes her participation seem extraordinary?

Does the gap between the rich and the poor really change how we're seen?

Stephanie, with a smile, modestly accepted the accolades. Once everyone had said their piece, she humbly responded, "Thank you, but you're giving me too much credit. I want to fit in with everyone and not be singled out for having a 'princess complex.

Her admirers didn't miss a beat and jumped in with more praise.

"Stephanie, your modesty is so commendable. You're the most grounded heiress I've ever met."

"Your presence is so refreshing. You make everyone feel at ease just by being yourself

"It's confusing when less wealthy people act more entitled than you. That's the real puzzle."

Milly's expression tightened, wondering if they were talking about her.

Then Stephanie added kindly, "Let's not talk down about Milly. She's really nice, although she might be slightly prickly sometimes. I can vouch for her being great most of the time."

Realizing what she'd just said, Stephanie quickly covered her mouth, her eyes widening in shock.

"Oh, my apologies, Milly. I didn't mean to say that. Can you forgive me, please?

Milly mused to herself, recognizing the unintentional sting in their words.

At first, she wasn't sure if they were talking about her, but it soon became apparent that she was indeed the topic..

The cunning, veiled comments, which twisted the truth and warped reality with their underlying meanings, were not easy feats.

Hehe, why should I be mad at Miss Stephanie? Being the heir of the Burnetts surely puts you in a different league. Me? I'm just an ordinary person and thankful for any compliment from someone of your stature. How could I ever be upset?"

How does one deal with someone two-faced?

The strategy is simple. Learn from them, copy them, and eventually outdo them! To engage in deceit is to dive into an endless abyss.

She'll get it straight to her face if she likes being acknowledged as the heiress. But is she ready for it?

Upon hearing Milly's remarks, Stephanie couldn't hide her displeasure, her face betraying a mix of

emotions.

While others might use the title to suck up, Milly clearly intended to stir the pot.This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.

Despite boiling with rage, Stephanie had to maintain her composed facade, especially after working hard

build a reputation of elegance and kindness.

Biting back her pride, she managed, "I value your opinion, Milly

Milly, arms folded, found the whole scenario quite entertaining. "Actually, I might have gone too far. Considering my own simple beginnings, I'm interested in what life's like for a rich young woman like you. Champagne, perhaps?"

Stephanie was on the edge of losing her cool.

Milly, amused, arched an eyebrow, waiting to see if the wealthy Stephanie would crack or keep up- appearances.

At that moment, Stephanie, who pretended to sip on her drinks, seemed funny to Milly. Even with the teasing, Stephanie chose not to react, all to maintain her image. It was amusing to watch her sulk.

"Milly, how can you say something like that?" said Stephanie, who quickly pulled herself together. She no longer looked upset or pitiful; instead, she was the picture of composure.

"Milly, I really want us to be friends. You might not like me, but let me know if I've messed up somehow. I'll fix it. I might not be as smart or pretty as you, and my grades could improve. Everyone looks up to you, but you seem to find me annoying because I'm not as bright. I'm really sorry for that."

With those words, her slim figure slightly shook, her voice filled with emotion, making her look pitiful This instantly sparked the protective instincts of their classmates.

Particularly when Stephanie was trembling, trying to hold back her tears, Milly stood there, seemingly unbothered and smiling.

Suddenly, everyone's anger flared up, rallying behind Stephanie.

"Some people take advantage of their grades, manipulating and being unkind to those who are nice. That's just wrong.

"Really, what's so great about having good grades? Aren't we all doing well academically here? At the end of the day, we're all going to end up working. Stephanie comes from a wealthy family; she might end up working for someone, but still."

"Right, isn't she going to become famous? Stephanie could outshine her with her wealth!"

"Stephanie, don't be upset. If she doesn't see your worth, she's just jealous. Come hang out with us later; we've got your back."

"Yeah, let her be on her own! She deserves to be looked down on."

Milly was left speechless once again.

Is she being ostracized?

This protagonist is something else, making everyone else look bad. With just a few words, she gets

Everyone blindly defending her. Did the writer slap this protagonist's aura on her? It feels so forced!

Now, will Stephanie step up and be the bigger person?

Three, two, onc.

Once the countdown hit one, Stephanie returned to her usualm strategy standing up with a pitiful look to speak kindly.

"Thanks for your kind words; they mean a lot. But I'm sure Milly has her reasons."

Milly rolled her eyes, thinking. Not this again. Doesn't she ever get tired of the same lines?

"I'm really thankful to all of you. I'm hosting my coming-of-age party in a few days, and I'd love for you all t come celebrate at the Burnett house. The butler will send out the invites to

everyone."

The room was buzzing with excitement.

"Wow, did I hear that right? I might mingle with the elite and attend the big party at the Burnett house."

"Wow, a butler! Feels like something straight out of a book!"

"Mom, this is probably the closest I'll ever get to a rich family."
