Chapter 23 Anthony Speaks for Her

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Stephanie brushed her long hair away from her forehead and behind her ears, a slight blush on her face as she walked slowly towards Williamn. “William, how did you know I wanted shaved ice? Thank you,” she said, reaching out to take it. 

But as soon as her fingers touched the bag, it was abruptly snatched away. 

William held onto the bag tightly, looking incredulous. “Are you out of your mind? If you want some, buy it yourself. Why take mine?” 

Stephanie was left speechless. 

Hasn’t he always bought drinks and snacks for me? Isn’t this form weP 

Completely stunned, Stephanie awkwardly said, “William, I am Stephanie.” 

William furrowed his brow, looking at her as if she were crazy. “Call yourself whatever you want; it’s none of my business. Even if you call yourself Michelle Obama, you still have to pay for what you want to eat.” 

Seeing this, Milly couldn’t help but burst into laughter. 

Putting everything else aside, William’s way of responding was quite amusing. 

William placed the shaved ice on Milly’s table, his expression immediately changing to a warm smile, “Milly, I bought this for you. I added extra sprinkles and raisins.” 

Normally, Milly would never accept 

this shaved ice. She didn’t like people favours. 

But now, being able to enjoy sweet shaved ice while witnessing Stephanie’s embarrassed expression seemed like a good deal. 

She licked her lips and accepted the shaved ice, saying, “Thank you.” 

William’s eyes lit up when he saw her accept it, showing her approval of his gesture. He felt greatly encouraged. “Boss, if you like it, I’ll buy it for you ten times a day!” 

Milly replied, “Um… there’s really no need. Thank you.” 

Ten shaved ice in a day! This guy must be trying to give me a brain freeze. 

Stephanie bit her lip in anger, glaring fiercely at Milly. This girl, she’s doing it on purpose! 

The whole school knew that William had a crush on her, so she deliberately approached him and flirted with him, but she ended up embarrassing herself. 

As she listened to the surrounding mocking laughter, her face turned red with a sense of indignation that 

almost brought her to tears. The shame made her want to escape from the situation immediatel 

Melanie, who was beside her, couldn’t confront William directly, even if she was upset. She could only stop Stephanie from leaving and comfort her softly. “Stephanie, endure it for now. When the principal and teachers arrive, Milly will have a tough time.” 

Stephanie’s foot, which was about to step out, halted abruptly.

Yes, I can’t leave yet. I still have to witness Milly’s downfall! I want to see what tricks she has up her sleeve this time to escape unscathed 

The principal was in a meeting in his office when he heard the news, and his eyebrows furrowed in anger.

It was difficult for the school to produce a top student, but finally, a genius emerged. However, there was a lack of respect from someone who kept spreading rumours endlessly. 

The principal led a group of teachers into the classroom and asked sternly, “What’s going on?” 

The noisy classroom suddenly fell silent. Melanic bravely stepped forward, pointing at Milly and accusing, “Mr. Ferrell, teachers, Milly cheated in the exam! Her grades this time are fake; they are not her real grades at all 

Before the principal could respond, Anna, who was standing behind him, heard the news and immediately spoke. “I knew this Milly must be up to something. So she cheated! Mr. Ferrell, since she cheated on the exam, she violated the school rules. I request that this student with such improper conduct be expelled from Crestwood High!” 

She had long found Milly disrespectful and disobedient. 

She openly challenged her in the classroom, causing her to lose face. So what if she had good grades? Even if she excelled, it wouldn’t matter. Now there was a reason to expel her, which was even better. 

Upon hearing this, William immediately became anxious. “Mr. Ferrell, don’t listen to her nonsense. My boss… uh, Milly couldn’t have cheated. She wouldn’t do that!” 

This blind trust left Milly momentarily speechless. 

Anna snorted coldly, clearly skeptical. “Am I supposed to just take your word for it? Did you see her complete the exam?” 

“I…” William was at a loss for words. 

He took the exam in Class A, while Milly took it in Class D. They were so far apart, so how could he have seen anything? 

Melanie and Stephanie exchanged smiles, not expecting even the homeroom teacher of Class A to suspect. that Milly was cheating. This time, Milly would not get out of this! 

However, at that moment, a clear voice came from the back of the crowd. “I can bear witness.” 

Everyone turned to look and saw a tall and upright teenager in school uniform holding a stack of test papers at the door, looking like he had just returned from fetching them. 

He took a step forward in everyone’s view, still holding the test papers, and continued, “During the exam, I saw Milly handing in her paper early. She submitted her integrated science paper about an hour after the exam started, and her math and English papers about forty minutes later. If you don’t believe me, Mr. Ferrell, you can ask the invigilator at the time or check the surveillance footage.” 

At this point, one of the teachers spoke up. “That’s true. There was indeed a student who submitted their paper shortly after the exam began. I even glanced at the paper, and it was exceptionally well done.” 

Another teacher added, “Now that you mention it, I do recall something like that.”
