A Film Queen

Chapter 80 Milly, Please Don’t Be Upset

Finished

Milly knew that Jordan and Anthony had always treated her well at the Burnetts, and she had never been mistreated. However, she couldn’t ignore the kindness of the Smiths, who had raised her as their own despite being her adoptive parents.

Even after finding out she was a Burnett and had to leave, Milly had been feeling down.

These were debts of gratitude that the original and current Milly owed.

Though she kept these thoughts to herself, Jordan, sitting beside her, noticed the change in her mood. He gave Anthony a sharp look, and Anthony immediately quieted down.

Anthony didn’t mean any harm; he just couldn’t bear the idea of his sister being taken away. It was already hard enough sharing her with his brother, let alone with others,

Stephanie, who had been silent, bit her lip. She hated this scene.

She hated how everyone doted on Milly as if she were the center of the universe. She felt like an outsider.

She noticed Xavier, sitting next to her, stealing glances at Milly. Even though he had been hiding it and only took a swift glance, Stephanie still caught it.

And Jonathan across the table was even more obvious.

Breaking the silence with a smile, Stephanie asked, “Milly, is the person who came to see you your brother from the Smiths?”

Milly replied coolly, “Yes.”

Why is Stephanie asking? Is she planning something again?

Stephanie continued in an innocent tone, “Milly, is that box in your arms a gift from him? What is it? You seem to really like it, seeing as you’re holding it even during dinner.

Upon that, all eyes at the table turned to the box Milly was holding.

Despite their stares, Milly was unfazed as she continued eating, obviously not planning to show them what was inside. “It’s nothing. Just a graduation gift from my brother.”
