Chapter 72 Jordan is Nervous.
Jordan frowned as he was feeling uneasy. Are you sure that everything is alright?”
Ivan, standing nearby, quickly nodded.
He had checked everything meticulously against the checklist, so there shouldn’t be any issues.
Jordan nodded coldly. “Good. You can retire early if anything happens.

Milly and Anthony were taking their exams at the same school, while Stephanie was assigned to a school a bit further away. Their driver had taken her there early, and Jordan was solely responsible for taking Milly and Anthony.
In the car, instead of taking care of business matters, Jordan pulled out a book named ‘100 Things Parents Should Do During College Entrance Exams and started reading carefully.
Ivan wasn’t surprised at all. Jordan had practically worn out this book over the past month.
Just then, Jordan frowned at something he read and said in a deep voice, “The book says that parents. should give sunflowers to their children after the exam to bless them a better future…”
“Ivan, contact Mr. Grant from the ranch”
Ivan was confused since they didn’t have any business dealings with him at the moment. “Huh? Mr. Grant?”
It was weird for them to contact him out of the blue.
Jordan confirmed, “Yes, purchase an acre of sunflowers from him. It’s a gift for Milly after the exam.”
Milly was speechless. “Jordan, isn’t that too ridiculous? That’s a whole acre!”
What would I do with that many sunflowers? To snack on their seeds?
Jordan nodded. “Yeah, an acre is too small. Let’s buy seven acres since seven is a lucky number.”
“Yes, sir.”
Milly was at a loss for words.
“The book also says it’s best to wear a red dress, as red symbolizes victory and joy. Ivan, prepare one and put it on later.”
“What? I …” Ivan looked aggrieved.
No one told him that being an assistant had to wear a dress to send off exam candidates.
Besides, he wasn’t even Milly’s parent. It was a joke for him to wear that.
However, he remembered the rule number one in the workplace – Say no to tasks outside of your job description.
“Ahem, Mr. Burnett, I don’t think

“Yes, Sir! I’ll go buy a few dresses right away.”
We can’t let pride get in the way of money, right?

Milly was going to get a headache at the thought of seeing Ivan in a dress waiting for her at the exam
venue.
Turning to Anthony, she nudged him with her elbow and whispered, “You need to talk to Jordan. No one else will be doing this for the exams!”
Anthony blinked, “I think Jordan is doing the right thing. I don’t mind as long as you do well.”
He then addressed Ivan, “Remember to hold a banner that says ‘You can do it, Milly!” later.”
Milly sighed.
They’re going cuckoo,
Suddenly, Milly’s phone rang
It was William calling her.
As soon as she answered, a loud voice was heard throughout the car, “Hey, Boss! Which school are you at? I’m at Crest Affiliated School. What about you? Boss? Can you hear me? Boss!”
“Shut up!” Milly sternly interrupted his yelling.
William’s voice was too annoying.
“I’m at Crest Affiliated School too. We’re on our way, about ten minutes from the school gate,” Milly said coldly.
“Me too! We might even see each other… Wait!” William suddenly stopped mid–sentence.
“Boss, I think I see your car! Are you in a black Rolls–Royce today?”
Milly looked out the window and saw a black Bentley. Then she saw William’s messy hair as he stuck his whole body out of the back window, waving and shouting, “Boss! Over here! Boss!”
Milly felt a little embarrassed by his behaviour.
At that moment, a deep voice came through the phone, “William, sit down. It’s dangerous.”
“Okay.”
Sure enough, William’s figure disappeared.
Milly wondered if George was here to accompany William for the exam too.
She couldn’t deny that her heart skipped a beat when she heard George’s voice just now.
Suddenly, the driver stopped the car and turned to Jordan, who was still calmly reading in the back seat, “Mr. Burnett, there’s traffic.
It wasn’t really a traffic jam. It was iner that the Rolls–Roure and Bentley were hath ton large, and they had

encountered each other on a narrow commercial street. There was no way to pass unless one car backed
- up.
Jordan looked up and acknowledged the situation.
George’s Bentley was completely blocking the road ahead, and there was no way to get through.
Milly also saw this and blinked. “Then we should back up. There’s another road we can take to get to the school.”
“No!”
Before Milly could finish, Jordan interrupted, “We can’t reverse while sending off exam candidates. It symbolizes failure, which is bad luck.”
Milly was surprised at Jordan, a top graduate from a prestigious university, being so superstitious.
She couldn’t help but twitch her mouth. But they couldn’t just stay stuck like this.
Jordan calmly said, “Just drive.”
The driver hesitated as he looked at the narrow gap between the wall and the cars, his hands trembling. “Mr. Burnett, if we force it, your car
He could afford to pay for such an expensive car.
Don’t worry, I told you to do it. If the car gets damaged, so be it. It’s just a car.”
Nothing was more important than Milly.
If she failed her exam because
this, he’d feel guilty forever.
The driver was about to step on the gas when Milly’s phone suddenly picked up a low, clear voice, “Back up.
The voice was so soft that Milly almost didn’t catch it.
Then, a loud voice was heard again, “No, if we back up, I’ll fail! George, I don’t want to back up, I want you to tell the driver to drive through like Boss’s brother.”
“Do you have any idea how much this car is worth?”
“You! I’ll call Grandpa and tell him that you’re bullying me! Others are willing to do anything for their sisters, but you won’t even waste a car for your cute brother. You’re a cold–blooded demon!”
“Since I’m a demon, I’ll freeze your bank account then.”
“No, wait! Hehe, the driver can reverse as much as he likes! We shouldn’t be superstitious at all! You’re the best brother that I’ve ever had!”
