Chapter 333 The Expensive Sofa 

The woman in red’s champagne glass collided with Milly’s water glass, causing the liquid to sway. 

Just as Milly was about to pull back her glass, suddenly, she saw the woman’s fingers under her glass. Before she could react to what she was doing, her glass was tipped over onto the ground, with sparkling water splashing onto the sofa where she was sitting. 

In an instant, the surrounding area was filled with successive exclamations of surprise, the most exaggerated of which was the woman in red’s shriek. 

“Argh! How could you … ?!” She covered her mouth, her tone full of shock, but there was a hint of schadenfreude in her eyes. 

Milly quickly grabbed a tissue from the side and dabbed at the spilt water. There wasn’t much spilt, and she soon cleaned it up. 

She had just guessed that this woman might be up to something, but … is this really her method? 

Just this? Only this? 

Even children playing around are more intense than this, right? 

No chemical harm was caused, but the physical damage was quite severe. Her sharp scream was so loud that it numbed Milly’s ears. 

After cleaning the sofa, she couldn’t help but rub her ears, ringing from the sharp sound. “Could you lower your voice? Can’t you say it instead of shouting?” 

The woman in red seemed to ignore her accusation entirely, her fingers trembling as she pointed at the sofa. “You … this is the luxury genuine leather sofa Jordan bought at a high–end auction in Yasgar. You’ve dirtied it. If Jordan finds out, what will happen?” 

“What?” Milly furrowed her brow. “What expensive sofa?” ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

Is she talking about the one I’m sitting on? That can’t be right. It looks dusty and nothing special at all. 

Wait… 

When she just came in, it seemed like she heard them mention it, and this sofa did look quite expensive… 

Sensing Milly’s disbelief, the woman in red looked at her disdainfully, her gaze akin to that of someone looking at an uncultured peasant. Immediately, she took out her phone and opened a website. 

“This is the sofa that was auctioned off back then, the one you’re sitting on now and have dirtied.” 

She opened an auction website listing previously auctioned luxury items, and the picture displayed. showed this dusty–looking sofa. 

‘The limited edition, only one set available globally. That’s quite a marketing gimmick. 

How many zeros are beneath that? 

One, two, three… six!

Goodness, 3 million dollars! 

*S Pearls 

Milly’s eyes widened completely. Is this sofa laced with gold thread or embedded with gemstones? Could the “genuine leather” part be referring to human skin? 

She had just thought it was an exaggeration when they said she couldn’t afford it, but now it seemed like, they might be right. 

So, what was she doing on this three million–worth sofa before? Eating snacks, clipping toenails, and even casually playing with her phone…. 

No one mentioned it was so valuable. She had thought it was just a regular leather sofa worth thousands in the furniture market. 

The woman in red seemed to notice her astonishment, and she added insult to injury with a smirk. “Hehe, such an expensive luxury sofa. It loses its original value once it’s splashed with a glass of water. Even if you wipe it dry, it won’t be the same.” 

Milly fell silent… 

It was not so much about worrying that Jordan would blame her as about feeling a pang for the money lost. 

Just one glass of water and 3 million down the drain… 

As luck would have it, the sound of a car outside indicated that Jordan and the others had returned. 

At this moment, her surprise, seen by others, turned into fear. The woman in red, smirking, said to her, “You’re in trouble.” 

“Ah–woooo–wooo… 

Apollo’s anxious shout was the first to react, followed by Jonathan’s and Anthony’s voices trying to restrain him, “Slow down! Haven’t you forgotten… haven’t you forgotten that your sister said not to run?” 

“Slow down. Are you a stubborn calf? Why are you so difficult to restrain?” 

Anthony rushed into the living room excitedly, but his smile vanished instantly upon seeing the diverse group of strangers there. “Oh no!” 

Despite having lived with the Burnetts for quite some time now and their efforts to teach him to communicate with the outside world, he still showed a strong sense of rejection and distance when encountering strangers. 

This psychological condition was related to his previous experiences, and if he wanted to recover, it would take time. Recovery couldn’t be rushed. It could only happen gradually, step by step. 

His indifferent gaze swept over the unfamiliar faces, observing them with an expressionless demeanour, almost like a machine appraising the goods before him. 

Suddenly, his eyes lit up as if a lifeless pond had been instantly infused with sunlight and vitality. At that moment, it felt like spring had arrived, and flowers were in full bloom. 

“Ah–woo…”

Chapter 333 The Expensive Sofa 

Just as he was about to rush towards his ray of sunshine, a strong force grabbed his arm, halting him in his tracks. “Oh no!” 

It was Jordan. 

He had already stepped out of the car at some point, and his well–fitted suit made him look elegant and refined. His mere presence drew everyone’s attention. 

Jordan cast a cold glance at him with one hand in his pocket and the other firmly gripping Apollo’s arm. Instantly, Apollo, who moments ago was about to charge forward heedlessly, fell silent, his drooping head following quietly behind Jordan. 

Milly almost felt like applauding when she saw this scene. 

Jordan is impressive! 

She had been worried about Apollo accidentally revealing his identity, especially since he was clingy. He didn’t listen to anyone but her. But now, Jordan just stopped him with a look. It seemed like Jordan had managed to discipline him while she was in the hospital. 

Once the banquet was over, she had to learn from Jordan and see his methods. 

Stephanie approached with a gentle smile, looking at Jordan graciously. “Jordan, you’re back.” 

Jordan glanced at her briefly, gave a cold response and then proceeded to lead Apollo inside. 

Ignoring Stephanie and the group of classmates she brought along, Jordan displayed his indifference openly, without bothering to conceal it. Anyone observant could easily sense the awkward atmosphere between them. 

Instantly, murmurs and whispers filled the living room. 

Stephanie bit her lip hard. She didn’t need to listen closely to know what they were whispering. They must think that Jordan’s attitude towards her didn’t match the rumours of his favouritism.
