It was only then that Milly noticed the two men lounging on the sofa.

The guy on the left sported frameless gold wire glasses, a long chain trailing behind his ears, accentuating his sharp jawline. His eyes, which had been smiling, turned calm as soon as they locked with hers.

If the guy on the left could be called exquisite, then the man on the right was nothing short of extraordinary.

With eyes curving upwards, amber irises, and lips the color of roses, his body proportions were impeccably balanced, resembling a meticulously crafted doll in a posh boutique display.

Milly recognized him immediately; he was a frequent sight on billboards, the popular young actor, Jonathan.

As for the man with glasses, he was none other than Xavier, the fourth brother, currently a nationally renowned scientist at the research institute.

While she observed them, they were also sizing her up.

Well, it wasn’t just mere observation; their scrutinizing gazes were tinged with resistance.

Milly was certain they harbored no fondness for her.

The exquisitely handsome man was the first to speak. “No matter how packed my schedule is, I had to swing by to see Stephanie for her college entrance exam. She’s our little princess, and I can’t have certain individuals taking advantage of her.”

Milly arched an eyebrow casually.

Was he saying this with her in mind?

He was telling her not to get caught up in pointless competition; Stephanie had always been the family darling, a pedestal she could never quite reach, a position not even her influence could shake.

As soon as Stephanie heard those words, her chin lifted a notch, casting a haughty glance at Milly as if she’d already won.
