Chapter 373 Turmoil on the First Day
Kingston University was one of the top institutions in Dracovia-its reputation stretched across the country and far beyond.
Not only was it known for its research achievements, but also for its philosophy of freedom, innovation, and excellence. Year after year, it produced countless outstanding talents.
Now, the start of another school year had arrived.
At the main gate, traffic jammed as cars came and went, students flowed in and out, some alone, some with their families, hauling luggage, clutching folders, or carrying bedding.
Lillian’s driver pulled up to the entrance. He offered to take her inside, but she declined.
Standing before the towering sign of Kingston University, she couldn’t help but feel a solemn awe. In her past life, she had passed this place countless times, gazing at it from afar, dreaming of stepping inside. But that day had never come. Instead, Chloe had enrolled here.
The Sinclair family had celebrated for three full days, as though desperate to broadcast the news to the world. And she had only been able to stand silently at the side, watching with envy.

Now, standing here again, it felt like a lifetime ago. The scenes of her life flickered across her mind like a film reel, frame by frame.
Dragging her suitcase, she walked into the campus.
Following the signs, she arrived at the freshman registration area. A long line had already formed, each desk manned by student volunteers handling paperwork.
She picked a line and queued up.
At that moment, a teacher came in and asked one of the volunteers, “Rosie, has Lillian checked in yet p>
The girl named Rosie shook her head. “Not yet.” She then turned to ask the others.
Each of them also shook their heads. “No, she hasn’t come here p>
The teacher’s face darkened. “It’s the last day already. Why hasn’t she shown up? The principal has asked about her several times p>
Lillian stepped forward, about to speak up and identify herself,
But Rosie suddenly barked at her, “Hey! You can’t just cut in line! Everyone else is waiting their turn, and you barge in? Don’t you have any sense of decency p>

Another volunteer chimed in, “Exactly. The school doesn’t even check students’ character anymore? This is embarrassing p>
Their words immediately pushed Lillian into the spotlight. Students around them turned to stare at her with disdain.
Lillian glanced at the two who had spoken, then tossed her admission notice onto the desk. Her voice was cold. “I’m Lillian p>
“I don’t care if you’re Lillian or not-you cut in line, so you’re still rude!” Rosie shot back, standing up in anger.
But the volunteer beside her tugged at her sleeve nervously. “She’s Lillian p>
Rosie shook her off. “I don’t care if she’s-“The words stuck in her throat.
She turned sharply, staring at the girl in front of her wearing a baseball cap. “You’re Lillian p>
Lillian’s eyes narrowed. “If there’s only one Lillian admitted this year, then yes. That would be
me p>
The sudden revelation left the onlookers stunned. They hadn’t expected the girl they had just scorned to be the very same Lillian who had caused a sensation across Dracovia as the SATs top
Scorer.
She wore a white cap, a pink polo shirt, black shorts, and canvas shoes-so simple that no one would have guessed she was the girl who had stunned the world in that viral video.
Rosie’s face flushed crimson.
Just then, Mr. Harrington hurried over with a smile. “Hello, I’m Mr. Harrington from the Academic Affairs Office. This was all just a misunderstanding. I hope you can forgive them p>
Lillian glanced at him, then at Rosie and her companion, her lips curling into a cold smile. “First day of registration, and your students’ behavior is already so disappointing. It seems Kingston University’s reputation is not quite deserved p>
