?Chapter 254:


    Elliana reached up and rubbed her ears, visibly irritated by Trinity’s nonsense. The audacity of Trinity’s words left her stunned. Never before had Elliana encountered someone who could spew such outrageous lies just to inte their own importance.


    The entire world buzzed with spection about Milena’s elusive identity. Even the wealthiest power yers couldn’t secure a single meeting with Milena. And yet here was Trinity, boldly iming that Milena would travel all the way to Ublento to host a mentorship ceremony—for her? Please. Since when did Milena stoop to that level? Elliana felt the urge to expose her true identity as Milena growing stronger by the second. She could hardly tolerate Trinity dragging her name through the mud. But in the end, she held back. Revealing that she was Milena wasn’t a decision to make on a whim. Besides, a part of her was curious. She wanted to know exactly who this impostor was. For now, she would watch and wait.


    As soon as Trinity noticed Elliana lower her head and massage her ears, she assumed the gesture was one of shame and defeat. A smug smile crept onto her face. “Elliana, anything else you’re dying to ask?” she baited.


    Elliana lifted her head slowly, a subtle smirk tugging at her lips. Her eyes met Trinity’s with calm amusement. “Miss Craig, I must say, your aplishments are beyond impressive. I never imagined Milena would show such favor.”


    “I was just as shocked. Honestly, I didn’t believe it at first either,” Trinity replied, her tone dripping with self-satisfaction. Her gaze swept over Elliana with an unmistakable air of superiority she didn’t bother to hide.


    “Milena said that after decades of practicing medicine and traveling to the farthest corners of the world, he never met anyone worthy of inheriting his legacy. But then he met me. He said I had something rare in me. Talent, intuition—something that couldn’t be ignored. That’s why he chose me to carry on everything he knows.” Trinity lifted her chin slightly and straightened her posture, carrying herself with a quiet, unmistakable pride.


    Elliana didn’t return the praise with admiration. Instead, she offered Trinity a faint smile, one tinged with dry amusement.


    That reaction unsettled Trinity more than she let on. Still, she kept her tone bright with pride as she said, “Milena told me I might be the only protégé he ever chooses. That’s why he treasures this so deeply and is willing toe all the way to Ublento just for the mentorship ceremony.”


    Lance looked thoroughly convinced, his face lighting up with admiration. “Trinity, that’s incredible! Milena must have crossed paths with countless brilliant minds over the years, and for him to pick you? That says everything. Your talent must be unmatched!”


    ???????? ?????? ???????? ???? g???????ν??????﹐?????


    Trinity gave him a bashful smile. “Lance, you’re making me blush. I wouldn’t go so far as to call myself talented. Milena probably just saw howmitted I am and how I push through every challenge. Maybe that’s what made him choose me.”


    Every word was carefully chosen—a subtle invitation for more ttery. And Lance,pletely unaware, took the bait without hesitation. “Trinity, your passion for medicine and your determination are obvious to anyone who’s met you. Milena is no fool—he saw exactly what you’re capable of. Don’t sell yourself short. You’ve earned every bit of this.”


    A soft pink colored Trinity’s cheeks. “Lance, you really need to stop. I’m not nearly as impressive as you say.”


    Still unaware, the rest of the group joined in, each voice adding to the wave that echoed Lance’spliment. Before long, the living room buzzed with admiration for Trinity’s many qualities.
