A Film Queen

Chapter 235 Ambushed by Reporters

Milly looked at Jordan beside her, leaning in close to whisper, “Jordan, 10% of the shares is way too exaggerated. I can’t accept that!”

Jordan’s expression remained composed as he gazed at her, a trace of indulgence flashing in his eyes. “Why not?”

Ten per cent is nothing compared to what I intended to give her. Why can’t she accept it?

“But…”

Jordan could tell what she was thinking from her conflicted expression. “No buts. I told you before, I’m letting you pursue your goal. You shouldn’t feel any burden. Once I handle everything, I’ll ensure you attain the highest place.”

Milly let out a sigh. She knew Jordan adored her. No, saying “adore” was an understatement. He completely pampered her!

However, even the most doting parents should have limits. Jordan’s over–the–top generosity in giving her the family’s assets was a bit exaggerated and somewhat blind.

She couldn’t help but wonder if the Burnetts‘ bankruptcy in their previous life was because Jordan gave all the shares to the original owner, who then mismanaged the company into ruin. In the end, the original owner had to work to support her six brothers.

This made sense!

Frightened by her thoughts, she quickly added, “Jordan, I don’t need this. I know you love me, but I have no interest in business. If you insist on giving me something, why not invest in a few films for me when I become famous?”

Jordan laughed and rubbed her hair gently. “Investing when needed is one thing, but these shares are yours to have.”

Milly pouted, feeling troubled. “But I … don’t want them!”

Bang! A heavy thud slammed on the car door beside them. The startling driver nearly mistook the gas pedal for the brake.

Philip had awakened at some point, looking at them with fury. His chest heaved with rage.

“What? Was it a bomb or poison that I sent out? Not only are you ungrateful, but you’re also playing hot potato with it. If you don’t want it, hand the contract to me, and I’ll tear it up!”
