“I … ”

Silence took over the scene as everyone awaited Milly’s response.

One second, two seconds…

Stephanie’s eyes turned cold when she spotted Vajra approaching Milly, a storm brewing in her expression.

She thought she had everything figured out but hadn’t seen this coming. The thought of Milly managing to get Vajra’s attention!

If Milly could become Vajra’s disciple, she would be superior to Stephanie. What was the point of everything Stephanie had done until now?

Yet, with everyone’s eyes on Milly, Stephanie felt helpless, unsure how to sabotage this development.

Just as her face shifted from severe to worried, a clear, sophisticated voice broke the silence.

“Sorry, Master Vajra, I don’t feel a strong connection to Buddhism or a genuine interest in it. I doubt I’d make a good Buddhist disciple, so I’m afraid I have to decline your offer.”

Milly’s polite rejection seemed to have been anticipated by Vajra, who remained unfazed.

On the other hand, Philip, Jonathan, Anthony, and William were anything but calm.

“You… you disrespectful child, how could you turn down Master Vajra’s offer! Having him take notice of you is an honour, a boon for our family, the Burnetts. Can’t you see what you’re throwing away? Are you trying to make me angry on purpose?”
