A Film Queen

Chapter 5 Confrontation

She didn’t finish reading the book, only skimming through it briefly. Besides Andrew, there was no other character with the surname Tate mentioned throughout the story. Since there was no previous mention of him, it was likely that he was just a passerby. As long as she didn’t get entangled with the male lead, everything would be fine. As the situation escalated, Milly’s parents could no longer ignore it. They had no choice but to apologise to Andrew with forced smiles, attributing the conflict to childish misunderstandings. They then requested that Stephanie apologize to Milly.

After all, she did take the time to pick a nice spot like this. Heh. Without

a demon’s cruelty. With a menacing glare, Milly instilled fear in Stephanie, causing her to tremble in place. Pushing her away, Milly retrieved a wet tissue from her pocket and cleaned her hands meticulously, repulsed by the encounter. Gods, she is filthy. In the southeast corner of the garden, a man observed the scene with amusement, a hint of mischief dancing in his eyes. The ruthless demeanour of the woman reminded him of his own. Someone was on the phone, urging, “Master George, are you here yet? The general is throwing another tantrum.” Interrupted by an urgent call, the man, George, refocused his attention. “I’ll be there shortly.” Meanwhile, Stephanie, after the confrontation, fled in distress, presumably

Olivia and Carlos, “Dad, Mom, Milly hit me.” She sobbed. “It hurts so much

here!” A man in a dignified suit walked up to Andrew. “Grandpa, you said you weren’t feeling well? Do you need to go to the hospital?” Milly was confused. Wait, why does this man look so familiar? Isn’t he the one I just saw in the garden? Milly felt her head buzz for a moment! Oh no, the delicate and gentle image I established in front

She’s a lot more refined than she was in the garden. Like a cat that’s retracted its claws. “George, didn’t you say you had a childhood betrothal with the Burnetts’ daughter before? This is your fiancée, so you two should get to know each other.” George was silent. Milly was speechless. Everyone couldn’t believe what they were hearing.
