Lillian forced a smile and acted calm. She said, "| don't usually talk about Fenna's job, and | didn't even know General Morrison

had such a great assistant like Fenna. Since you two know each other, that's a plus."

Mila casually walked by Lillian and sat down by the bonfire.

Agroup of people around the same age were chatting nearby, seemingly captivated by Mila's appearance and outfit. Everyone

was looking at her as if she were a spectacle.

Lillian approached and announced, "Hey everyone, let me introduce you. This is Wanda Hoffis, General Morrison's wife, the

leader of the Norvanian military. She's also the granddaughter of the wealthiest person.

“But things have shifted. The new richest person in Norvania is Avery Talerico, Oliver's wife. Wanda didn't inherit any of that

fortune.

"Anyway, let's all enjoy tonight. Eat, drink, and have a blast!"

The crowd erupted into cheers and applause, clearly pumped up.

Mila couldn't fit in the group. While most people there liked drinking, singing, and playing games, she was elegant and more

reserved. They were loud and outgoing, but she seemed more comfortable alone. They didn't have much in common or share

any interest.

Asharply dressed man walked up to Mila and sat beside her. He seemed eager as he asked, "Are you Wanda?"

Mila nodded.

"Care for a drink?"

Mila politely refused. "No, thank you."

“Are you into murder mystery games?"

Mila looked puzzled, "No, not really."

"What about blackjack?"

"No, | don't play."

"Do you enjoy singing?"

Mila shook her head. "I only sing the national anthem."

"Do you do live streams?" the man asked.

Mila, also known as the artist Inkwell with a large following, was aware of live streaming but had no interest in participating. She

simply said, "No."

The man's frown intensified. "Are you even from Earth? You seem clueless."

All eyes turned to Mila. Whispers and giggles filled the air as they quietly mocked her.

Lillian saw an opportunity and lightly

tapped Mila on the shoulder. Then, she addressed the group, saying,

"We shouldn't tease the general's et

wife. She's had a very sha

upbringing, like a delicate flower in a greenhouse, shielded and

pampered. It's no surprise that she seems a little dorky.

“After all, her family was very wealthy. She never had to work a single day and could solely

et

concentrate on her education. Her grandfather paved the way for her, sending her abroad for schooting, and ensuring she

obtained a strong degree.

"Then, she struck gold marrying General Morrison. She even secured a great position at the military base. She'll never have to

worry about money for the rest of her life." Lillian's words were dripping with sarcasm and cutting remarks. She sighed before

saying, "I feel sorry for us. We weren't born rich, nor do we have the wealthiest grandfather in the world.

"We work hard to better ourselves, but we'll never achieve the same success as her."

Mila listened and smiled thinly. To

She stared relentlessly at Lillian,

showing no mercy as she asked, "If

you admit you don't have wealth and despise using connections to get ahead, why not focus on

e

self-improvement instead of settling for mediocrity?"

Lillian's face darkened. She was surprised by Mila's blunt reply. The mention of "settling for mediocrity" stung her deeply, and left

her feeling embarrassed.

Fenna stepped in to defend Lillian.

Equally riled up, Lillian retorted, "None of us here are mediocre. Any one of us could outshine you effortlessly. Take my friend

Fenna, for example.
