Jason kept his word. As soon as Milly arrived at school the following day, she heard that Ken had quit school and gone abroad. He left in such a hurry that he didn’t even have time to pack his books on his
desk.
On the field, the sports teacher who taught aerobics was crying his heart out. He wailed about how his star student hadn’t even had the chance to blossom and repay his careful nurturing before leaving
It must have created quite a scene, as the dean was crouched beside him, comforting him and reminding him not to disrupt the school’s image.
This only made the teacher cry even louder, his heart–wrenching sobs echoed across the field.
For some reason, Milly felt a little guilty.
If Ken had stayed, he could have used his talents to get into a good university, join the national team, serve his country, and shine in his field. But he had to go abroad because of her.
Milly sighed, took out a tissue, and handed it to the crying teacher. “Don’t be too sad, Sir. It’s a pity that Ken, who was so good at sports, had to leave, but don’t cry too much. Don’t hurt your eyes.”
She could talk to George if the teacher wanted Ken to come back. After all, ruining someone’s future was a grievous sin!
The teacher felt a little embarrassed when he saw the top student and future valedictorian of the senior class comforting him. “Thank you, Milly. But.. Who told you Ken was good at sports?”
Milly was taken aback. “Huh? He isn’t?”
She wondered why the teacher was crying so miserably.
The sports teacher wiped his tears away and started counting on his fingers. “Ken was always late, skipped practice, didn’t take sports seriously, and was inconsistent in his efforts. In short, he was a mess. Actually, I’m happy that he left.”
Milly’s mouth couldn’t help but twitch.
Then the teacher continued, “But, while he was here, all the students were afraid of making him wait, so they would gather carly. I didn’t have to get them to listen to me. Now that he’s gone, how will I manage the students? Can you understand my pain? I’m at a loss now! Milly, where are you going? Can you understand my pain?”
Milly kept quiet and walked away.
I’m deaf. I can’t hear a thing. She chanted in her heart.
I shouldn’t have asked!
How did the school manage to hire such a teacher? Is he here to liven things up?
As soon as Milly entered the classroom before she even sat down, William mysteriously pulled her aside and whispered, “Boss, Ken went abroad. Did you know about it?”

I had even almost got deaf by the teacher’s crying.
William continued, “Rumour has it that he was forced to leave!”

Milly paused while taking out her books and looked at him incredulously, “You know what happened behind closed doors? Did your brother tell you that?”
William was puzzled, “What does this have to do with my brother?”
Milly knew that William couldn’t figure it out with his intelligence.
“Tell me about it.”
William looked around to make sure no one was listening before he spoke, “Actually, he left because of me! I found a fortune–teller and told him to perform a ritual to make Ken leave. I didn’t expect it to work so well. The fortune–teller is amazing!”
“You know what? He’s so cool! He took one look at me and knew which school I was from! Isn’t that awesome?”
Milly was speechless.
There was a school badge on William’s uniform, even an idiot could tell that he was from Crestwood High.
“This fortune–teller was nice. Normally, he charges 105 dollars per reading, but he gave me a discount and only charged me 75 dollars. I had even joined his membership for 1500 dollars. Boss, if you need anything from him, you can use my membership card.”
“No, thanks. I believe in materialism.”
Suddenly, she felt that the Tates were quite perceptive. They had given most of the company’s shares to George and left William a portion just enough for him to live comfortably, clearly telling George, you have control over the family assets and your brother.
William wouldn’t survive for long with his mentality without the Tates‘ protection.
Seeing the look in Milly’s eyes, William frowned, “Why are you looking at me like that? It’s the same way. George looks at me.”
“So your brother looks at you like this too?”
What Milly really wanted to ask was, Does your brother also think you’re an idiot?
William scratched his head, “Yeah, just like the way you’re looking at me now. Maybe he’s proud that I’m so smart and he can’t look away.”
God is indeed fair. He opened a door for you and sealed all of your windows with concrete.
“Stop talking to me. You’re too disturbing.”
“Am I distracting you from studying?”
“No, my IQ is disturbed.
William kent quiet.

Fortunately, after this little episode, everything went smoothly over the next month until the day of the college entrance exams.
It was a gloomy day on June 7th, the day of the exams.
Surprisingly, the most nervous person of the Burnetts was Jordan.
He had finished his work two days earlier to free up time to accompany Milly to the exams.
“Milly, have you checked your exam slip? Did you bring it?”
“Did you bring your pencil case and ID card?”
“Should I call your teacher to check if you have left out anything?”
Jordan had been enrolled directly by the university without taking the college entrance exam, and it had been so long that he couldn’t remember the details.
There were always stories about people forgetting this or that and needing help from the police on exam day. He wanted to be fully prepared to avoid any mishaps.
However, he wasn’t bothered if Milly scored zero since he could take care of her for life. But that would dampen her enthusiasm, and he didn’t want her to be sad.
Jordan took out his phone to make a call.
Milly stopped him in time, “Jordan, we’ve packed everything. You’ve asked Ivan to check more than twenty times. We’ll be fine.”
