Chapter 6 Reunion with Jordan

Milly took a deep breath, preparing to speak, when a loud shout interrupted her, “I disagree!” Stephanie, who was on the verge of tearing her skirt out of jealousy, brightened up at the sound of the voice and exclaimed joyfully, “Jordan!” Jordan? Jordan Burnett? Out of the six brothers in the family, none of them had shown up due to their dislike for the original owner, Milly. The story mainly focused on Jordan’s favouritism for Stephanie. The sudden appearance of Jordan was likely to show support for Stephanie! Milly furrowed her brow, deciding it would be best to keep her distance from him. With that in mind, she discreetly moved her feet back. The man, who had rushed here immediately after landing from a long flight, finally felt a sense of relief when he entered the villa and saw that petite figure.

Thank goodness, he had made it in time! Thank goodness, they were all still here! When Stephanie saw Jordan, it was as if she had found her lifeline. With red eyes, she ran over, tugging at his sleeve and complaining, “Jordan, you’re finally back. Look, Milly hit me, and mom and dad don’t care about me.” Since entering the door, Jordan’s gaze has been fixed on Milly. Upon hearing Stephanie’s claim that Milly had hit her, Jordan frowned and halted in his tracks. “She hit you?” Thinking Jordan was concerned for her, Stephanie quickly nodded, brushed aside her hair, and showed him her injuries. “Jordan, look, Milly is so cruel. She always bullies me … ” Jordan’s expression changed upon seeing the marks on her face. He then pushed Stephanie away, who was clinging to his sleeve. Stephanie was caught off guard and stumbled back from his strength. Although she wanted to get angry, she restrained herself when she saw Jordan heading towards Milly to confront her. George, observing from the side, furrowed his brow, and his expression darkened. He quietly took a few steps forward, prepared to intervene if Jordan made a move. Milly’s parents were even more anxious and attempted to prevent Jordan from approaching Milly. Unexpectedly, Jordan embraced Milly tightly, pulling her into his arms. His determined eyes gradually filled with tears, “Milly, I’m relieved that you’re still here, it’s good…” Milly was confused. Isn’t he here to defend Stephanie? While she was still processing the situation, Jordan took her hand, examined it with concern, and murmured, “Are you foolish? We have servants at home. Is it necessary for you to resort to physical altercations? Did it hurt? Should we take you to the hospital?” Even Milly herself was taken aback by the scene unfolding before her. The direction of this narrative seemed to be veering off course. The Jordan depicted in the book was supposed to be an ardent supporter of Stephanie. Why was he suddenly displaying concern for her? Watching this unfold,

Stephanie’s eyes burned with bitter jealousy, and her face contorted in anguish. Why? Why did this rustic girl not only capture the attention of my parents but also the protection of the Tates’ patriarch? And now even the recently returned Jordan seems to have changed his allegiance. Jordan was her last hope, and she couldn’t simply let go like this. “Jordan! It’s me, Stephanie! Didn’t you call me yesterday and promise to return today to support me?!” Stephanie shouted hysterically. Jordan frowned and turned to face her, his eyes filled with icy coldness. “Why are you shouting? Have you forgotten all the manners you were taught at great expense?” After reprimanding Stephanie, Jordan felt a wave of relief wash over him. He had been reborn! Even he himself couldn’t believe it. After experiencing the bankruptcy of the Burnetts, wandering the streets, and being helped by Milly, allowing them to start anew,Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

he was reborn! It was as if the heavens were giving him a chance to make up for his regrets. In this life, he must take good care of Milly. After being scolded by him, Stephanie looked at him in disbelief, tears of grievance in her eyes. “Jordan, it was Milly who hit me first; she started it!” She knew that as long as she showed this kind of grievance, Jordan would immediately feel sorry for her. But this time, she was disappointed. Jordan’s indifferent expression did not change at all, “Milly is so sensible, she would never hit someone for no reason. You must have provoked her.” Jordan’s strong presence made no one dare to refute his words on the spot. “You … I hate you!” Stephanie, no matter how arrogant she was, was still a girl. Being criticized in front of so many people made her feel humiliated. She stomped on her foot and ran upstairs. Milly silently tried to pull her hand out of Jordan’s palm. But he held on tightly, with a slight tremor, and she tried several times without success. “Jordan, aren’t you going to check on your sister upstairs?” At this moment, Jordan had already put on a gentle and delicate appearance, no longer the fierce and evil look from before. He looked at Milly gently, rubbing her hair, “Be good, don’t be afraid. I will always protect you.” Milly was quiet. Something seemed off. Before she could react, she saw Jordan turning around and walking to the side of Andrew, bowing respectfully and politely greeting him, “Hello, Andrew, it’s been a while. You’re still so strong.” Andrew snorted coldly, like a sulking child. Jordan, as if he hadn’t heard, continued calmly,

“I just heard you joking about arranging a marriage for Milly. She’s still young, there’s no rush for that.” Milly was only seventeen this year, not yet an adult. Andrew’s grandson is already 23 years old. He’s an old man. He is not a worthy match for Milly. When Andrew heard his words, his brows furrowed sharply again, “What? The Burnetts lost and still don’t want to admit it?” Jordan calmly replied, “Andrew, this is no longer the era of parentally arranged marriages. Each generation has its own blessings. My sister is still young, so getting engaged and married is indeed a bit early, especially since she is still studying. We can’t delay her college entrance exam, can we?” Andrew frowned. Philip’s eldest grandson is no simpleton. In just a few words, he cut off the entire conversation. If he said anything else, it would seem he was disrespectful. He was so angry that his neck turned red! He poked his grandson with his cane, coughed harshly, and then glared at him fiercely. “You brat, say something quickly. If you lose my granddaughter-in-law, I’ll break your legs!”
