Chapter 264 Jordan’s Arrival

In an instant, Lucius paused to think, his gaze turning towards Samuel next to him. A cold glimmer appeared in his eyes as he quietly said, “My only friend.”

Milly was speechless.

This is what people mean by wasting something valuable on someone who doesn’t appreciate it! Even Apollo, who had no idea what was going on, seemed simpler to deal with than Lucius.

Without realising it, she began to feel a bit sorry for Stephanie. Managing a relentless admirer who ignored all logic would definitely be exhausting.

Even though she had barely spoken to him, her heart was already feeling troubled.

As Milly wondered if she should step away from this strange person before she had a breakdown, she sensed a change in the mood around her.

The nearby students appeared to be crowding around, forming a circle and murmuring to each other, creating a lively atmosphere.

It felt like witnessing a show.

Samuel, who was already notable and powerful as the student council president, was always a popular subject at school. With two more attractive people beside him, both the newcomers and the seniors were naturally intrigued by them.

As the crowd grew, everyone was curious about why these three remarkably attractive individuals were standing together.

Milly found herself speechless once more.

It seemed that slipping away unnoticed was no longer a possibility.

Many in the crowd identified Milly and excitedly lifted their phones to take pictures.

“Isn’t that Milly Burnett? Giselle from ‘Silent Sea“?”

“Yeah, it seems like her. She was trending recently for her high grades. I didn’t expect she actually got into Crestfallen

versity.”

“The media reported on her. She’s genuinely a scholarly genius.”

“She’s also really beautiful…”

While there were many praises, there were also hints of sarcasm and mocking

comments.

“Haha, it’s all a show. The entertainment industry loves these stories. Who knows if her grades are real or just a publicity stunt? Some people will do anything for fame.”

“Samuel has always been private. Why is he with her? She must be trying to get attention by being near him!”

“Yeah, not only Samuel but even this handsome new student is probably being used by her for publicity.”

“Tsk tsk tsk, you have to admit, the entertainment industry is really murky. It’s really something.”

Milly remained silent.

Originally, she had wanted to quietly start her university life, but now, on her first. day, she became the centre of attention. She could already foresee the uproar on social media.

Just as she was pondering how to gracefully navigate out of this spotlight and leave this tumultuous place, she suddenly noticed that the crowd, filming her with their phones, had abruptly shifted their attention elsewhere.

Immediately, the mocking voices turned into ecstatic surprises.

“Wow, that guy is incredibly handsome and authoritative! Who is the person next to the principal?”

“That’s Jordan Burnett, the CEO of Burnett Group. His recent achievement in revitalising the Burnett Group was highlighted in a news magazine. He looks even more impressive in real life!”

“Ah! I applied for a job at Burnett Group this year, but haven’t received any response yet.”

Chapter 264 Jordan’s Arrival

Milly was surprised. Jordan is already here?

Looking up, she confirmed it was Jordan, exuding confidence in a suit, flanked by school officials. He stood out like a god among men.

Their eyes met, and he asked, “What’s happening? Is the academic atmosphere at Crestfallen University so laid–back and indifferent now? Why is everyone gathered here?”

Off to the side, the principal wiped the sweat from his brow and nervously smiled. “Mr. Burnett, today is freshmen orientation day. Classes haven’t started officially yet.”

Jordan’s demeanour shifted abruptly, his gaze chilling and his countenance exuding a touch of menace. “So, does this imply that Burnett Group must withhold its investment in the construction of Crestfallen University until the project commences to release the funds?”

The principal appeared visibly alarmed, his eyes widening as he gestured hurriedly. “No, no, Mr. Burnett, there seems to be a misunderstanding. Allow me to promptly arrange for self–study sessions. Oh, no, immediately organise the schedule and summon the teachers to commence classes without delay!”

Afterwards, the accompanying leaders adeptly scattered the students and summoned the department heads to swiftly organise the timetable for the formal commencement of classes.

After watching the crowd disperse and catching a glimpse of his sister’s face among them, Jordan’s expression barely managed to improve somewhat.

Yet, his expression soured once more upon noticing the two guys beside Milly.

“What’s this? Isn’t the primary emphasis in university supposed to be academic pursuits? Now you’re chasing after girls?” Jordan’s tone tinged with disapproval.

The school leaders were surprised. “Um, well… ”

With a serious look, Jordan asserted firmly, “While students are adults and can engage in dating, this remains a place of learning. Their foremost responsibility is as students, so their main focus should be on studying.”

Despite their confusión, the school leaders had no choice but to heed the words of the influential man before them, particularly because they were counting on his

donation to construct a new schoolyard. His opinions carried significant weight.

They promptly concurred, “Indeed, Mr. Burnett is right. Students ought to prioritise their studies. Should we discuss the implementation of a new school policy?”

Jordan nodded impassively. “Indeed, while it might be inconsequential for

students in different majors, it holds immense importance for those in the Life Sciences and Theoretical Research program! This field is crucial for our nation, and they cannot afford to squander time and effort on trivialities such as romance. Especially for female students in this field, we must exercise extra caution to prevent individuals from other majors with ulterior motives from causing disruptions.”

Standing nearby, Milly listened and sighed softly.

Jordan, isn’t that a bit too targeted?

Why don’t you just give them my ID number directly?

One of the school leader nodded promptly and affirmed, “Absolutely, we will convene a meeting promptly to address this matter. We will exercise heightened vigilance, especially for students in this particular major. Any student seeking to initiate romantic relationships will be subject to disciplinary measures!”

Jordan simply nodded in response, “Hmm.”

At that instant, the school leader spotted Milly, Lucius, and Samuel nearby. He frowned and hurriedly approached them, directing them away, “Why are you three still lingering here? To which department do you belong? Return to your classes immediately. Is the school a forum for discussing romantic matters?” NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.
