Chapter 80 Milly, Please Don’t Be Upset
Finished
Milly knew that Jordan and Anthony had always treated her well at the Burnetts, and she had never been mistreated. However, she couldn’t ignore the k
Even after finding out she was a Burnett and had to leave, Milly had been feeling down.
These were debts of gratitude that the original and current Milly owed.
Though she kept these thoughts to herself, Jordan, sitting beside her, noticed the change in her mood. He gave Anthony a sharp look, and Anthony imm
Anthony didn’t mean any harm; he just couldn’t bear the idea of his sister being taken away. It was already hard enough sharing her with his brother, le
Stephanie, who had been silent, bit her lip. She hated this scene.
She hated how everyone doted on Milly as if she were the center of the universe. She felt like an outsider.
She noticed Xavier, sitting next to her, stealing glances at Milly. Even though he had been hiding it and only took a swift glance, Stephanie still caught it.
And Jonathan across the table was even more obvious.
Breaking the silence with a smile, Stephanie asked, “Milly, is the person who came to see you your brother from the Smiths?”
Milly replied coolly, “Yes.”
Why is Stephanie asking? Is she planning something again?
Stephanie continued in an innocent tone, “Milly, is that box in your arms a gift from him? What is it? You seem to really like it, seeing as you’re holding it
Upon that, all eyes at the table turned to the box Milly was holding.
Despite their stares, Milly was unfazed as she continued eating, obviously not planning to show them what was inside. “It’s nothing. Just a graduation gift from my brother.”
Stephanie’s eyes sparkled with curiosity when she heard this. “Wow, a gift? Can I see it?” © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
Milly wanted to ignore her so badly. She’s so annoying!
Someone got me a gift; what’s that got to do with her?
Milly, annoyed, frowned and replied coldly. “No.”
Stephanie’s eyes reddened as if deeply hurt. Her tears threatened to fall at any minute. “Milly, do you hate me?”
Milly was speechless.
“I really didn’t mean anything by it. I’m just curious about what a graduation gift looks like. I’ve never

me, Milly. It’s my fault.”
Heh.
Milly couldn’t help but laugh at the absurdity.
Finished
This classic manipulative b*tch behaviour straight out of a novel is impressively shameless. How could Stephanie say such cheesy lines without blushing
But then, she realised she was gravely mistaken.
Xavier, hearing Stephanie’s pitiful words, frowned in disapproval and looked at Milly. “Stephanie just wanted to see it. Do you really have to be so harsh?
Milly looked at him, puzzled.
Harsh? Who’s being harsh?
Me?
She felt extremely wronged.
It wasn’t just Xavier; even Jonathan, who had just begun to warm up to her, defended Stephanie. “It’s just a gift. It’s not like Stephanie wants to take it; s
With her brothers supporting her, Stephanie’s courage grew. Her eyes, which had only been slightly red, were now filled with tears.
“Xavier, Jonathan, don’t scold Milly. She probably just doesn’t want to share with me. I’m used to it; it’s no big deal.
Milly was truly exasperated. It’s my gift, and now it’s my fault for not showing it to them?
Some people truly have no shame.
Anthony couldn’t stand it anymore. Rolling up his sleeves, he stood up to defend Milly. “Are you guys crazy? It’s Milly’s stuff. If she doesn’t want to show it, she do
Though he felt a bit jealous of Milly’s closeness with the Smiths, he wouldn’t let anyone bully his sister right in front of him!
Xavier calmly set down his utensils and wiped his hands with a damp cloth, looking at Anthony. “Stephanie just wants to see it. What’s the big deal?”
“Well, I want to slap you. Is that a big deal? Would you let me?”
Xavier’s face turned red. “Anthony, I’m your elder brother! How dare you!”
Anthony rolled his eyes, complétely unconcerned. “Well, Milly is Stephanie’s elder sister. How could she force Milly like this?”
“Enough!”
Tordan’s cold voice cut through the argument. His iev vaze swent from Anthony to Xavier, finally landing

Milly blinked and stood up. “Alright.”
She was more than happy to avoid Stephanie’s manipulative performance.

Jordan frowned. He had been so busy with work and helping with the college entrance exams that he had forgotten about the film shoot with Alan.
It was already 8.00 PM, and it would take four hours to drive to Television City. Milly had just finished her exams, and he wasn’t sure she could handle it if she headed right over without proper res

Milly quickly stopped him. “No need, Jordan. Mr. Hawkins must have scheduled everything carefully. I can’t make the whole crew wait for me. I’ll go.”
