Get Spoiled after Travelling into A Novel

Chapter 237 Building Our Nation Milly was armed with solid arguments. She quickly rendered those reporters speechless with few words. Everything she said made perfect sense, and they couldn't find any flaws in her statements.

The reporters recalled the tasks their boss had assigned them before they came, they gritted their teeth and pressed on. "But words alone are not enough, Ms. Burnett. Do you have any evidence to support your claims? If you can't prove it, we will remain skeptical." Milly let out a cold smile. Her eyes showed a hint of impatience. Clearly, they wouldn't back down until they were faced with undeniable proof.

She retrieved her phone and dialed a number. After a few rings, the call was answered. The speaker clearly broadcast the voice on the other end. "Hello? Is this Milly? What can I do for you?" Milly had put the call on speaker. Everyone present heard Crestwood High's principal's voice clearly.

Her tone softened a bit as she spoke, "Principal, I just wanted to thank you for your support, especially now that the school year is about to begin. I've been so busy lately that I haven't had the chance to properly express my gratitude." The principle voice on the other end sounded surprised and pleased, "Oh, Milly, there's no need to thank me! It's we who should be thanking you. You have no idea how much pride you've brought to me, our school and our city! "Just the other day, the principal of Crestfallen University called me. He was so excited to have a talent like you to join them. Oh my! He couldn't sleep due to his excitement. He even considered to file the application to build a new dormitory just for you, if tallowed..." A thud echoed through the room as someone's microphone hit the floor, the sound unmistakable and resonant.

Crestfallen University! Could it be the Crestfallen University they were thinking of? Milly's expression remained calm and a faint smile remained on her face. She said, "Thank you, principal. I am truly grateful for your support." After a few more pleasantries, Milly ended the call. Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

The room fell into an eerie silence.

Milly said, "You should be able to recognize the principal's voice. If you have doubts, you can look up his interview videos online and compare them. There should be plenty of that.

"Does this prove the authenticity of my academic achievements?" she asked.

This time, no one dared to dispute her claim.

After a moment, a trembling voice broke the silence, “But why isn't your non Crestwood High's Chapter 237 Building Our Nation you think my nisn't publicized?" That reporter struggled to cup with an answer.

The reporter who asked this question had grown up and studied abroad, so he wasn't very familiar with the deeper meanings behind such matters in Halturia.

He was torn about whether to dig deeper. Another reporter quickly covered his mouth and whispered, "Shh! Don't ask that!" "But why?" the first reporter asked, clearly confused.

"She got into Crestfallen University, but they didn't publish the list. There's only one reason: her exceptional performance. She's in a special program. For special talents like her the school would automatically protects their identities to prevent any trouble. Understand?" Understanding dawned on the reporters.

No wonder such a picky director as Alan would choose Milly for a role as a top student. No wonder her nwasn't on any admission lists. Everything makes sense now.

After the reporters had quieted down, Milly spoke again.

She stated, "I am new to the entertainment industry and wasn't aware with the rules. I might have unintentionally offended speople. I appreciate your patience in coming here today, and I apologize for any inconvenience caused. I'll arrange for a meal as a token of my gratitude.

"As for my identity, I believe everyone understands it now. I don't wish to hide anything, but acting is my dream. It's something I want to achieve through my own efforts. Serving my country is my duty. When my country needs me, I must do my best. This is my obligation as a citizen.

"So, I ask you all to keep my identity confidential. It involves many issues, and unnecessary exposure could cause trouble. Your work is to report news, and I respect that. That's why I willing to get out from the car and clarified everything. We are all citizens of this country, hoping for its prosperity. Please keep my identity a secret and avoid unnecessary exposure." The room was eeriely silent. No one spoke.

This silence indicated these reporters were weighing their options.

Milly smartly avoided flaunting her dual identity as an actress and the heiress of the Burnett family. Instead, she framed her appeal in terms of national interest, doing so would make the reporters feel there was no sense of equality. Instead, she raised the issue at a national level, binding them together as one collective. They could relate to her because they all wished for their nation to be strong and prosperous.

Just as the reporters were still contemplating, Jordan signaled the bodyguards. The bodyguard nodded and immediately acted, snatched the cameras and recording devices from the journalists and smashing them on the ground. The sound of breaking equipment and sparking wires filled the room, but not a single reporter screamed or tried to stop them.

Chapter 237 Building Our Nation The bodyguards destroyed all the footage and recordings before pulling out two suitcases and opening them to reveal stacks of cash.

Jordan spoke flatly, "There are about 150 thousand dollars here. Take what you need for the broken equipment. If it's not enough, cto the Brunette Group tomorrow, and I'll cover the difference." The reporters exchanged glances, then silently took only what was necessary to cover their equipment costs.

One female reporter took only 1,500 dollars, which was enough for her recording device and microphone. She looked at Milly and told her.

"We are also proud Halturians who love our country deeply. We want to see it thrive and stand tall. As m journalists we have ethics and stand tall. Aso m boundaries. We won't take more than we deserve or report everything we hear. So rest assured, we will keep your secret. "Regarding the equipment, we'll take only what is fair. Lastly, I hope you can build our nation and thank you for your efforts to do so."
