Stephanie wanted to say something, but the look in Jordan’s stern eyes made her swallow her words.

Reluctantly, she turned and headed upstairs.

After she left, Jordan turned to a nearby servant and gave the order, “Prepare a guest room for Apollo.”

The servant nodded and agreed, “Yes, Mr. Jordan.”

Milly blinked in surprise. Is Jordan okay with letting Apollo stay?

Jordan seemed to sense what she wanted to say and smiled reassuringly. He gently ruffled her hair as he always did and said, “Don’t worry. You should go and help him settle in. I’ll come find you after I talk to Grandpa.”

His words reassured her, putting Milly’s worrisome heart at ease. She agreed, “Okay.”

After settling Apollo in, Milly stepped out of the room and found Stephanie standing by the staircase. It seemed like she was waiting for someone.

Milly raised an eyebrow. Was Stephanie waiting for her?

Sure enough, when she approached, Stephanie called out, “Sister, wait a moment. I want to talk to you.”

Despite Stephanie’s dislike for her, she always managed to call her sister‘ with a straight face whenever she was up to something. Milly had to give herself credit for that.

Stephanie quickly blocked her path,
