“Nevertheless, keep your distance from him in the future.”

Milly foresaw Jordan’s momentary anger at her choice, but she hadn’t anticipated him lashing out in front of Lucius.

Milly waited silently for Jordan to finish scolding before responding, “Jordan, I appreciate your concerns, but you need to understand that I am not Steph informed about the company situation. As a member of the Burnetts, it is both my responsibility and capability to support our family.

Jordan appeared to ponder her words and remained silent.

Truly, only when Milly spoke up for her own good would he relent.

She sensed Jordan’s genuine care and constant consideration for her. Even the donation to Crestfallen University this time was intended for her benefit.

As expected, in the end, Jordan nodded in agreement.

“Milly, you are remarkably astute, a determined kid who knows what you want. You have your own convictions, and I will always respect and stand by you. But you must promise m
