A Film Queen

Chapter 215 Standing Firm Against Pressure

Just as Stephanie guessed it would happen, Philip’s temper reached a boiling point, adamant that Milly shouldn’t let this chance slip by.

He even went as far as threatening her, insisting she shows the master the proper respect.

“You need to respect the master. If you won’t, then as far as I’m concerned, the Burnetts will act as if you never existed!

“Do you know who Master Vajra is? Being noticed by him should be seen as a stroke of luck. It’s a blessing from the Burnetts‘ ancestors. What’s with the attitude? Who are you putting on this show for?

Philip huffed in disdain, tapping his cane on the ground. “Reasons? What reasons could she have that match mine? Absolutely rebellious! Rebellious!”

Watching Philip fuming, Stephanie couldn’t help but smirk internally.

Just getting Philip riled up wasn’t her goal. She aimed to ultimately push Milly out of the Burnetts, like in her past life, preventing any chance of Milly turning things around!

A sly spark flashed in her eyes, but she quickly masked it. “Grandpa, let’s not badmouth Milly. She’s not what you think. She’s only recently returned to the Burnetts and is still getting used to everything. It’s normal for her to not know much; she’ll learn in time.”

Philip’s face turned stormy. “Hmph, ‘in time‘? If she won’t take the apprenticeship today, she’s out of the Burnetts. We can’t accommodate big shots here!”

Stephanie barely hid her glee on hearing this.
