Chapter 109 Slow Death

Milly forced a friendly smile and asked, “How about I give you money? How much do you want?”

George glanced at her indifferently and retorted. “Do you think I’d want money?”

His eyes carried a subtle disdain, mocking how ridiculous her suggestions were.

Milly bit her lip. Indeed, he didn’t need money.

“When I become famous, I’ll endorse your family’s products for free. How about this?”

George took a sip of his coffee and turned to her with a fake smile. He asked, “Do you think my family lacks influential actresses?”

Milly was unsure what else to say.

No to this, no to that; dealing with a man in his midlife crisis was indeed difficult.

Gritting her teeth, she decided to drop her pretense and show her claws. She pointed out, “Secretly taking photos is illegal. I can sue you for violating my image rights. Even a royalty have to obey the law.”

She spoke with conviction and righteousness.

Anyone else speaking to George like this would have vanished from Adonio.

But this was Milly.

He found her cute. Someone as adorable as her should be bold and fearless, afraid of nothing.

However, he remained composed on the surface and suggested, “You can try suing me. Let’s see if any court dares to take the case.”

Milly wasn’t foolish; she knew that with George’s status, no one would dare provoke him.
