Milly was about to rush after Xavier to clarify things, but Xavier seemed uninterested in talking to her and headed upstairs instead.

The situation was getting weirder and weirder.

Did the plot of the novel change? Or did my being trapped in the book cause a butterfly effect?

Ugh!

Frustrated. Milly pulled her hair as she collapsed onto the sofa. If she had known she would end up trapped in the book, she wished she had just read and memorised the entire novel instead, so she wouldn’t have to guess what was going on now.

Just then, a ghostly cry echoed from the doorway.

“Jordan, you have to believe me! I swear on my honour that I have no ulterior motives towards Milly! I’m not some beast!

“And besides, we’re related by blood! Even if I were a beast, I wouldn’t dare lay a hand on my own sister! You know how those public accounts are like; they’re drawn to news like flies to dung, afraid they’d lose out on the juicy gossip. I’ve already let Clark handle it. Trust me, by tomorrow morning, the trending topic will be gone!

“Jordan, please! I’ve been kneeling for a whole day! Just believe me and unfreeze my card. Please, Jordan have mercy on me!”

Jonathan kept pleading.

Milly turned around and saw Jordan approaching her with an icy aura surrounding him, his brows furrowed deeply.

He walked quickly into the living room, followed by Jonathan, who was limping and looked like he was about to collapse.

What’s going on?

Jonathan’s eyes snapped towards Milly sitting on the couch, and suddenly, he felt his waist and legs no longer ache. He slid over to her side and began wiping away tears.

“Sob… Milly, believe me! I would never dare touch you! My heart is pure and true, loyal and unwavering! It’s like the purest heart of a newborn baby!”

Milly was perplexed.
