“Matthew, let me make this clear. If I can knock you down once, I can do it twice, three times, or countless times. Just like you said, I’m Milly, and I’m ruthless, unlike Stephanie with her kind heart. So don’t mess with me, or I’ll beat you up every time I see you!

I’m warning you in advance. Don’t say I didn’t respect my elders when the time comes.”

Milly’s voice was icy cold, carrying a strong threat.

Matthew had never treated her well, so she didn’t feel the need to be nice to him. If they had to break ties, so be it. She wasn’t afraid, after all, she wasn’t the one who needed something from him.

Matthew, who should have been asking for her help, was now too furious to remember that. His mind was filled with the desire to crush Milly.

“You better let go of me, or I’ll make sure you get kicked out of the Burnetts! Believe me!”

Milly rolled her eyes at Matthew’s threat, full of sarcasm. “Oli? And who are you going to get to kick me out of the Burnetts? Your own strength isn’t enough, is it? So, will you rely on Jordan? Or Grandpa?

“Do you think they’ll be willing to kick me out?”

Matthew fell silent at her words.

He was just a bit slow–witted, but that didn’t mean he lacked any logical thinking.

It was obvious to anyone that Jordan now doted on Milly the most, practically willing to give her his heart. How could he possibly be willing to kick her out?
