Upon hearing these words, the already tense atmosphere in the classroom seemed to cool down slightly.

The first person to react was Milly. Her eyes widened in disbelief at his audacity to say such a thing in front of everyone.

Without hesitation, she grabbed the book from the table and hurled it at him. “What are you saying?!”

George smoothly caught the flying book. Instead of getting angry, he smiled indulgently and spoke in a half–coaxing, half– teasing tone, “Okay, I’ll listen to you. If you don’t want me to say anything, I won’t.”

Milly was so furious that she felt the urge to slap him.

What was with his tone? What did he mean by “listening to me? What did he mean by not speaking if I didn’t want him to? The more she listened, the m

manner.

After glaring fiercely at George, she turned to Leon and explained, “Ignore his nonsense. I have no connection with him whatsoever. If we must have a relationship, then he is my enemy!”

The last words were practically gritted through her teeth.

I really don’t understand how these CEOs nowadays are taking this kind of clingy and annoying approach. Shouldn’t they be following the route of “if yo

But if not… I don’t know where to start.

It was true what they said. A good woman feared a persistent man.

Leon smiled, and when he looked at Milly, the gloom in his eyes had long disappeared. “Well, I believe in Milly.”

Milly smiled with her eyes curved.

Jordan, who was observing the scene from the side, felt a pang of jealousy for the first time in his life. He pursed his lips but ultimately swallowed back t

So, he had to be self–aware. If the influential figures offered respect, he had to accept it. He shouldn’t ignore them.

That’s why, when he heard that both Mr. Tate and Mr. Burnett had come today, he didn’t even have time.Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

ere. The principal smiled with a face full of wrinkles.

Jordan and George’s attention was focused on Milly. They both gave a faint “Hmm” and didn’t even bother to shake hands,

The principal wiped the sweat off his forehead, unsure of what was happening to them. He continued, “Mr. Tate. Mr. Burnett, the swearing ceremony is s

Jordan and George finally reacted upon hearing this.

Although it was not midsummer, it was still scorching near noon, especially on the shadeless playground. They didn’t mind, but if Milly got sunburned….

After some consideration, Jordan said, “Let’s switch to indoors then.”

The principal responded promptly, “Sure, I will change the plan immediately.”

“Sir, wait!” a clear voice suddenly interrupted.

Milly frowned and turned to Jordan, saying, “Jordan, let’s stick with the playground. I prefer not to switch

If they moved indoors, wouldn’t it benefit Stephanie and Melanie? She was eager to see their little. performance.

The affectionate tone when calling his name instantly softened Jordan. The cold demeanour he had moments ago vanished, his lips curled up, and his g

Look, my sister still called me so sweetly.

Holding the swearing ceremony on the playground was nothing. If Milly wanted to go to the moon now, he’d even contact NASA himself.

The principal was momentarily surprised, then quickly smiled apologetically. “Okay, let’s stick to the original plan. The ceremony will start at half past nine

Milly’s lips curled slightly, and her eyes sparkled with excitement. If Stephanie knew that she hadn’t pleaded for her, would she faint on the spot, or did sh

The more she thought about it, the more excited she became. She couldn’t wait to see the performance.

At this moment, Milly’s excitement was evident, and George, who had been observing her, couldn’t help but smile indulgently.

This little hedgehog is really cute.

Though I don’t know what’s going on in her mind, judging from her excited look, there should be a good show to watch.

On the playground.

“Wow, look at those three men. They’re so handsome like they stepped out of a comic book.”

“Yeah, are they celebrities? So tall and handsome. Are they models?”

“Oh, who’s that country bumpkin standing next to them? So outdated. Who still rocks those thick bangs these days? So old–fashioned.”

The swearing ceremony was attended by all the students in the school, including freshmen, sophomores, and parents, filling the field.

In the crowd, Jordan, George, and Leon stood out effortlessly. Their striking appearance alone captured everyone’s attention.

The three stood beside Milly, casting a shadow over her and shielding her from the glaring sun.

Milly paid no attention to the surrounding discussions and sharp glances, standing confidently without being affected. These glances had little impact com

However, she couldn’t help but feel that the opening speech of the ceremony was rushed. Both the school leaders and department heads seemed in a hurry to finish.
