Chapter 332 What Tricks Are You Playing?

Milly glanced around the room; a smirk tugging at her lips. Stephanie was quite something. She had managed to hide every trace of Milly’s life in this house.

Even the family photo hanging on the wall had been replaced with one featuring only Stephanie.

Hehe, you are afraid that I’ll steal your spotlight, huh?

She walked to the sofa with a cold smile and sat down, as naturally as if she were returning home after a long day. The maid, as if on cue, brought her a glass of soda water.

Everything seemed so routine as if it happened so many times.

However, to the onlookers who desperately wanted to curry favour with Stephanie, this scene was anything but natural. They began to whisper amongst themselves, their words dripping with sarcasm.

“Who does she think she is? Waltzing in here like she owns the place without the most basic courtesy as a guest.”

“Right? No gift, no greeting, just plops down on the sofa like she’s royalty. Doesn’t she worry about bad luck?”

“That sofa is a limited edition from Yasgar. It’s purely handmade. They say it had been sold at a very expensive price. And it’s here, in the Burnetts’s house. Wow, Stephanie, your family must be so rich!”

Stephanie didn’t respond.

As Stephanie saw Milly walk in and sit comfortably, she nearly clenched her fist in anger.

She knew Milly was getting out of the hospital today, which was precisely why she chose to host her coming–of–age party now. She wanted Milly to witness her triumph and see Milly being humiliated in front of everyone.

She wanted to crush Milly underfoot and make her grovel like the people around her, who were showering her with compliments and admiration.

So what if Milly is the true heiress of the Burnetts? She’s still under

my control!

But, what was going on now? Milly was supposed to be avoiding the limelight, planning to enter the entertainment industry without revealing her true identity. Why was she acting so calm? Was she not afraid of being exposed?
