Chapter 168 The Bloodthirsty Teenager
The dynamics between Milly and George had grown increasingly intricate, recent developments adding further complexity to their relationship.
The prospect of accepting another 135 million from him loomed large. Should the Burnetts go bust, the Tates would panic. Businesspeople only had profits on their minds. They would never give presents for no
reason.
George, astute as ever, foresaw her reluctance. Surveying Milly’s pallid countenance, he released a quiet sigh. Despite his careful calculations, why did he still manage to unsettle her?
He needed a different approach. “How much is in your account right now?”
Milly was taken aback. “Huh?”
The abrupt change in topic momentarily bewildered her. “You’re not trying to sell something to me, are you? I don’t have that kind of money… I’ve got just over 150 grand, but I can’t afford it.”
Moreover, she had no interest in acquiring weaponry. The savings she had accrued solely comprised the allowance her brother had furnished since her return. She hadn’t spent a penny of it.

Bankruptcy and the resultant credit card debt repayment would only compound the family’s. troubles.
George’s expression shifted upon hearing her answer. His brows furrowed subtly, his visage darkening with concern.
Back at the Burnetts, Milly had amassed a mere 150 thousand in savings. It seemed the family’s neglect of Milly persisted, leaving her to navigate the entertainment world alone.
If they genuinely cared for her, why did she bear this burden alone?
Returning to the Burnetts, where she felt estranged, bereft of affection and care, Milly bore the weight of her childhood trials with stoicism and fortitude.
George’s gaze brimmed with sympathy, his heart swelling with a resolve to treat Milly with even greater kindness henceforth.
Softening his tone, he continued, “As mentioned earlier, excluding assets and real estate, Tate Group has about 120 billion in liquid assets. This item is 135 million, while your assets amount to 150 grand. If we go by ratio, this item is only a few dollars out of your pocket.
