Upon entering the house, Milly heard Jordan’s stern reprimand from inside. He roared, “Why do mean that Milly doesn’t deserve to ride in our car? Milly is the eldest daughter of the Burnetts, my own sister, and our parents‘ biological daughter. What makes her unworthy of riding in the car?
“Anthony. I’m warning you for the last time. Milly is my beloved sister. If anything happens to her, don’t blame me for not considering our bond as siblings!
“Go find her! All of you! No one will rest until Milly is found!”
No one dared to say a word.
Milly’s heart thumped violently. She felt a warmth wash over her and envelope the cold indifference within her.
She had always thought of herself as a solitary soul roaming in this world, capable of brushing off any insults or mistreatment.
However, she had no idea that the protective words from others could be so moving.
Jordan, I’m home. Milly took a deep breath. She calmed her racing heart and entered the room.
The noisy living room fell silent instantly.
Standing in the center of the room with a stoic expression, Jordan heard her voice and slowly turned around. As he laid eyes on the girl at the door, his tense demeanor softened.
He approached her quickly and embraced her tightly.
Jordan reacted as if he had found a lost treasure.
“Gosh! Milly, thank God that you’re alright.
“It’s my fault! I didn’t protect you well.”
He was truly frightened. When Anthony and Stephanie came home and Milly was not with them, he discovered that Anthony had left Milly alone and returned.
In that moment, panic gripped him.
Recalling his past life before his rebirth, when he saw the lifeless, skinny girl lying in the hospital morgue, he was overwhelmed with heartache.
Milly was enveloped in Jordan’s warm embrace, which dispelled the chill from her tired journey.
Though she doesn’t understand Jordan’s distress, she senses his genuine concern and fear for her well- being. Moved by this, she also hugged him tight.
“Jordan, I’m fine. I’m here now.”
Jordan regained his composure at her words. He reached out to ruffle her hair and affectionately said, “Yes,

“If you don’t wish to ride with them in the future, I’ll arrange for a new driver for you. Milly shook her head and said with a smile, “There’s no need for such extravagance.”
Having two drivers just for pick–ups would be excessive and wasteful.

Jordan’s expression changed. He recalled Milly’s work notebook and the rusty tea tin where she saved money in her previous life.
“Alright, I’ll do as you say–no extravagance or waste.”
Observing this exchange from the side, Stephanie clenched her fists tightly, her nails digging into her palm.
What kind of spell had Milly cast on Jordan? Previously, he doted on me the most, but now he barely acknowledges my existence.
Milly has probably poisoning Jordan’s mind. This scheming b*tch!
Furthermore, on the journey home, Anthony mentioned that this fool had managed to get into Crestwood High and secure a spot in Class A! Why did she get to do that when both of us score 600 marks.
We scored the same, but Mily is in Class A while I’m in Class D. There have to be some intervention from Jordan.
The more she dwelled on it, the angrier she became. Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.
Stephanie decided she couldn’t sit duck. She had to make Milly pay the price. Everything in the Burnetts, whether it was wealth, identity, or the love of her brothers, could only belong to her!
With this in mind, Stephanie took a deep breath and took a cautious step forward. She said softly, “Milly, I’m glad that you’re home. Everyone is worried about you just now.”
Her eyes were red, as if she had just cried.
Milly
found it a bit amusing. She asked, “You were worried about me?”
Stephanie probably hopes to find her lying dead in the wilderness.
When Stephanie heard this, her eyes reddened even more, and her voice choked up, as if she had been mistreated by Milly.
“How can you say that about me? I’m really worried about you. After you and Anthony had a fight and you left, I wanted to ask Anthony to go find you. But by the time we got there, you were already gone. If you are still angry, I can apologize to you on behalf of Anthony”
Tsk! Tak! Look at her art of speaking.
In just a few sentences, this girl manage to completely steer herself away from the whole situation. She even portrayed herself as gentle and kind.
As expected, as soon as this pitiful speech came out, Anthony immediately fell for it. He protected Stephanie behind him and glared angrily at Milly.
“I’m the one that spoke those words today, and I’m the one that instructed the driver to drive. If you have any problems with this, you can come to me. Why do you always bully Stephanie?”

Milly chuckled lightly and mocked, “I only said a few words just now, but you all have been chattering on and on. In the end, you’re trying to blame baseless accusations on me. Do you all have persecution delusions?!”
“You… I
Anthony was rendered speechless. His face turned red.
Jordan saw this scene and was worried that Anthony would really get angry and hurt Milly. He quickly stepped in to stop it, Jordan said, “That’s enough, Anthony! You were in the wrong today. Apologize to sister, then tidy up and do your homework.”
Anthony gritted his teeth and stood still.
Stephanie tugged at his sleeve and whispered, “Anthony, you don’t have to trouble yourself. I will apologize to Milly!”
What a pair of unfortunate siblings!
your
Milly coldly snorted and found them disgusting. She thought that it was an eyesore to continue watching this show.
“It’s fine, Jordan. Mr. Anthony doesn’t need to apologize. I’ll go upstairs to do my homework. With that, she lifted her skirt and went upstairs.
Jordan frowne. He wanted to say something, but Milly didn’t say anything, and he was worried about making her unhappy by saying too much. In the end, he just glared at Anthony, who was still standing there.
Anthony’s mind had turned blank at this point..
What did she call me? Mr. Anthony?
“Fine, if you have what it takes! Never call me brother for the rest of your life. If I call you sister again, I’ll be reduced to a dog!”
Milly couldn’t help but chuckle as she was about to close the door. She mocked, “Childish!”
Closing the door, the outside noise was completely blocked out.
She let out a heavy sigh and took off the glasses on her nose. The world became much clearer. It was strange; the original owner didn’t have myopia, but why did she wear glasses to cover her eyes?
She went to the bathroom. When she came out again, the thick bangs on her forehead were all tied up and revealed a delicate and exquisite face. Even without makeup, she was still stunningly beautiful.
Milly was satisfied with her bare face in the mirror. She smiled and nodded in satisfaction.
She had said it before, where all of her brothers were men among men, so even if her appearance wasn’t as
good, she couldn’t be too bad. Her appearance was exactly the same as in her previous life.
