Stephanie stomped her foot in frustration and shouted, “Jordan!”
“Go upstairs! What’s the matter? You’re not going to listen to

me now?” Jordan’s tone became even more
Stephanie wanted to say something, but the look in Jordan’s stern eyes made her swallow her words.
Reluctantly, she turned and headed upstairs.
After she left, Jordan turned to a nearby servant and gave the order, “Prepare a guest room for Apollo.”
The servant nodded and agreed, “Yes, Mr. Jordan.”
Milly blinked in surprise. Is Jordan okay with letting Apollo stay?
Jordan…”
Jordan seemed to sense what she wanted to say and smiled reassuringly. He gently ruffled her hair as he always did and said, “Don’t worry. You should go and help him settle in. I’ll come find you after I talk to Grandpa.”
His words reassured her, putting Milly’s worrisome heart at ease. She agreed, “Okay.”
After settling Apollo in, Milly stepped out of the room and found Stephanie standing by the staircase. It seemed like she was waiting for someone.
Milly raised an eyebrow. Was Stephanie waiting for her?
Sure enough, when she approached, Stephanie called out, “Sister, wait a moment. I want to talk to you.”
Sister?
Haha!
Despite Stephanie’s dislike for her, she always managed to call her sister‘ with a straight face whenever she was up to something. Milly had to give herself credit for that.
Milly stood still and asked, “What is it?”
Stephanie bowed her head slightly and played the role of the meek and timid girl to perfection. She pleaded, “Sister, I need a favour from you, if you don
“Oh, I do mind.”
Milly said it coldly, and then she was ready to walk away.
When Stephanie quickly blocked her path, she barely took a step.
“Milly, I know you don’t like me, but I’m delighted you’re back home. I’ve always wished for a sister, and I envy those who have one to protect them. I tho

“Stop. I don’t need to hear anymore.”
If she listened any longer, she might actually throw up.

Stephanie was the epitome of a goody–two–shoes. She hated Milly to the core, yet Stephanie could spew such sickening words without batting an eye. How did she do it without getting nauseous herself?
“I have a lot to do, and I don’t have time to waste on your nonsense. Get to the point.”
Stephanie bit her lip. She pondered for a moment before speaking, “Milly, I love acting and hope to make a name for myself in the entertainment industry
“I was hoping you could speak to Bonnie on my behalf and persuade her to sign me as well. In the future, we could look out for one another. What do you think?”
Milly raised an eyebrow, not showing any emotion.
So, this is what she wanted.
Milly looked at Stephanie and let out a fake smile. She said. “You are going to sign a contract with Tate Group, right? Bonnie isn’t working with them.”
Stephanie’s eyes lit up, and she thought Milly was about to agree. She said, “It’s okay. Our families are close. If Jordan speaks up for me, George will de
Milly smiled slightly and said. “Then you can ask Bonnie yourself.”
Stephanie’s expression turned awkward as she bit her lips. She said, “I’m not familiar with Bonnie and don’t have her number. I’m worried it might leave
Milly you’re already working with her. You can definitely persuade her.”
Milly’s mood improved with her words.
It was true that she had a great relationship with Bonnie. Who wouldn’t enjoy having a big shot by their side, helping them soar to new heights?
Stephanie noticed that Milly seemed to be in a good mood and asked, “So, could you help me talk to Bonnie?
Milly nodded.
Stephanie was overjoyed. She hadn’t expected it to be so easy. She thought she’d have to persuade Milly for a long time, maybe even buy her somethin
At the same time, a hint of coldness flashed in Stephanie’s eyes. Milly was even dumber than she thought!
Once she reached the top, the first person she would get rid of would be Milly.
Without Milly, she could return to her carefree life as the Burnetts‘ heiress, without the current struggles and constant running around.
“Actually, I won’t help.”

Her smile froze in the corners of her mouth. For a moment, she couldn’t even snap out of it. “Wha…. what?”
Milly raised her voice and repeated, “I said, I won’t help!”
“But you just…”
“What about it? Just because I nodded doesn’t mean anything. Didn’t you hear me? I won’t help you!”
Stephanie was not stupid. She finally understood that Milly was making fun of her. Her face flushed with anger, and she chided, “You wench!”
She wanted to go up there, claw at Milly’s face, and then slice her throat. No, she wanted to cut Milly into pieces!
Unfortunately, she couldn’t afford to lash out now; she still needed Milly’s help.
Stephanie clenched her fists tightly, her nails digging into her palms, the pain grounding her. She forced a tearful expression and asked. “Then what will
Endure. I have to suck it up!
The humiliation she endured today, she would make sure to repay a hundredfold someday!
Milly had met all kinds of people in her past life and had learned a lot about microexpressions. She had noticed Stephanie’s hatred towards her just now,
But now that Stephanie was asking what she wanted…
This could be fun!
Milly smiled and said genuinely, “Money. I want money.”
Stephanie narrowed her eyes.
So simple?
It made sense. Although Milly was a Burnett by birth, she had grown up in the slums. It wasn’t surprising that she carried the stench of poverty.
When she thought about this, her mind recalled the pair she met earlier who claimed to be her biological
parents.
Hmph, they are all the same.
Just lowly ants.
“How much do you want?” Stephanie asked disdainfully.
Milly held up four fingers and said. “I want this much!”
Stephanie frowned and said, ‘I don’t have that much of money.”
