Her eyes narrowed angrily. Are those people at Daily Entertainment incompetent? They can’t even handle such a small thing properly. She had already handed them a ready–made news story, even spent money to boost its popularity, and they still managed to mess it up.

Stephanie gritted her teeth in hatred, half lowering her head, with a suppressed cold light in her eyes.

On the other side, Jeffrey, upon hearing this, quickly went to check her pulse.

But as soon as his fingers touched Stephanie’s pulse, she suddenly shook them off in agitation, her face showing panic.

Jeffrey furrowed his brows, seeming a bit puzzled. “Stephanie, what’s wrong?”

Why do I still struggle to control myself?

No, even though Jeffrey hasn’t reincarnated, he’s incredibly smart. If I appear panicked in front of him, he’ll definitely

catch on.

Stephanie took a deep breath, trying to keep her expression as calm and normal as possible. She bit har tongue, the pain helping to clear her mind a bit. “Jeffrey, it’s probably because of the fall down the stairs earlier, so I’m a bit… scared.”

her face pale, looking pitiful and helpless.

like that, Xavier, already quite upset with Milly, couldn’t hold back his anger. ‘Stephanie, no need to apologise. This wasn’t your fault at all. It’s all because of Milly. She’s so cold–hearted, pushing you and
