Get Spoiled after Travelling into A Novel

Chapter 7 The Hedgehog
George received a signal from his grandfather, pursed his lips, and said, “Mr. Burnett is correct, this is indeed a bit
presumptuous.” Jordan, seeing that he understood the situation, nodded, “Thank you for your understanding, Mr. Tate.” Upon
hearing his words, Milly completely relaxed, and her tense shoulders loosened. She really didn’t want to get married as soon as
she arrived! And she was going to marry this man, who was obviously not easy to deal with! Earlier in the garden, she had
threatened him so much. If she really married him, she didn’t know how he would treat her. George naturally also saw Milly
behind Jordan relax, a hint of a meaningful smile suddenly appeared on his face. No rush. Only when the hedgehog puts away
its spines will it allow itself to be approached by its soft belly. ......
The next day arrived. When Milly came downstairs, everyone was already waiting for her at the dining table. Stephanie saw her
coming downstairs, her face full of enthusiasm, but her eyes were still a bit swollen. “Milly, good morning.” The overly affectionate
tone made Milly frown, but she still nodded. Jordan waved to her and whispered, “Milly, come sit next to me.” Milly obediently
nodded. Jordan placed a peeled egg on her plate and whispered, “Milly, eat the egg.” Milly looked at the boiled egg with some
resistance, her furrowed brow full of disgust. She hated boiled eggs the most, especially the yolks! She used to be an actress
and had to maintain her figure, so she had to eat boiled eggs every day, and it instilled a dislike for boiled eggs in her. “Milly, did
you sleep well last night? Mom told me that your room was decorated according to mine. I don’t know if you are used to it. If
there is anything you are not satisfied with, just tell me, and I will help you modify it.” Stephanie said it enthusiastically.
When Milly heard Stephanie’s roundabout words, she couldn’t help but frown. Her good mood early in the morning was
completely ruined by the boiled egg on the plate and the idiot in front of her! She was hinting, both directly and indirectly, that
Milly was just her substitute. Haha, how naive! But now, seeing Stephanie full of vitality, it seemed like she had already appeased
her parents early in the morning. Hmm, not that stupid. Even if Milly was immature, she was still her parents’ flesh and blood. As
long as she came back, she would not be sent away again. But Stephanie was different. She was adopted by the Burnetts. After
raising her for so long, it could be considered fulfilling their duty. If she didn’t firmly hold on to Milly’s parents, then it really
wouldn’t be good in the future. In the Burnetts, Stephanie was the pampered young lady with no worries about food and clothing!
If she really left the Burnetts, she would be nothing. She would never be content with the days of taking the bus to school and
living in a small rental room. Olivia was a simple woman, so she didn’t catch the meaning in Stephanie’s words, “Milly, if you
need anything, just tell me.” Milly didn’t like Stephanie, but she really liked this mother. When she heard her concern, the stiff
lines on her face immediately softened a lot. “I slept well last night, Mom, you don’t have to worry.” Olivia breathed a sigh of
relief,
“That’s good.”

“By the way, Milly, just now Mom and Dad asked which high school you want to go to. My classmates are at the attached high
school. If you go there, I can have them take care of you.” Stephanie raised her eyebrows and said. The attached high school,
Wan Adonio, is a mediocre high school, neither good nor bad. This remark made Jordan’s brow furrow. How could his own dear
sister go to such a low-class school? “Don’t go to the attached high school, the facilities there are too poor. Milly, I know the
principal of Bullard High. I will donate a laboratory building to them, and you can go to school there,” Jordan said calmly. Bullard
High was a prestigious institution in Adonio, where the students were either wealthy or from noble backgrounds. They attended
school merely to obtain a diploma, and academic performance was not a priority, as they typically went on to study abroad after
graduation.
Milly understood Jordan’s good intentions, but now that she had the opportunity for a fresh start in life, she was eager to focus on
her studies and not waste any time. “Jordan, I prefer to attend Crestwood High instead of Bullard High,” Milly stated firmly. Upon
hearing this, everyone’s eyes widened in surprise. Crestwood High was renowned for attracting top students, boasting an
impressive university admission rate of ninety-eight percent. The school had a reputation for strict admissions policies, with no
exceptions for influential individuals. Even the child of a provincial governor would have to pass the entrance exam honestly to
gain admission. “Um ...” Jordan hesitated. Stephanie smirked, feigning kindness. “Milly, it’s quite challenging to get into
Crestwood High. Anthony and I spent countless late nights studying for a year just to secure our spots.” Her tone was laced with
arrogance. Despite her efforts, she barely met the qualifying criteria. “And with the college entrance exam approaching in two
months, the academic pressure at Crestwood High is intense. Milly, you may struggle to cope,” Stephanie added. In response,
Milly raised her eyebrows, displaying open disdain, “Is that so? You two must be truly stupid.”
“Why you ...” Stephanie flushed with anger.
While her academic performance was not exceptional, the mere mention of studying at Crestwood High elicited praise for her
promising future. Being called stupid was a first for her! Undeterred by Stephanie’s reaction, Milly set down her bowl and said,
“Jordan, I have made my decision. I will attend Crestwood High, and I assure you that I will rely on my own abilities to succeed in
the exams.” Observing her resolute expression, Jordan nodded. “Alright, I believe in you.”
“However, do not burden yourself excessively. I am financially secure and can provide for you comfortably for the rest of your life,
even if you choose to live a carefree lifestyle. I can afford it.”
He now wished he could support Milly indefinitely to make amends for past regrets. Ever since he was reborn, he has been
avoiding the things that would lead to his company’s bankruptcy. With his experience of building a company in his past life, he
knew the family would never go bankrupt. Unaware of his thoughts, Milly twitched her mouth upon hearing his offer of support.
Recalling the depiction of the Burnetts’ financial downfall in the book, she pondered who would be supporting whom in the future.

Confident not only in her ability to humble Stephanie’s arrogance but also in her own capabilities, Milly had pursued an academic
path in her previous life within the entertainment industry. Despite not attending college at the time, she worked diligently to earn
a Ph.D. from a reputable university, establishing a successful career.
