A Film Queen

Chapter 416

Milly’s words were almost blunt and direct, and Stephanie’s face changed instantly upon hearing them.

Milly understood immediately.

Ha, just as expected, she’s really going to cause trouble.

On the other hand, Stephanie’s act of being an innocent little flower wasn’t convincing enough. Just a few words were enough to sway her emotions. Clearly, her skills weren’t up to par yet.

But soon, Milly was proven wrong.

Stephanie’s number one supporter appeared out of nowhere, just in time to hear Milly’s sarcastic comment.

Instantly, he was enraged, pointing at her and starting to curse, “Milly, how can you be so heartless? Stephanie was just trying to help you out of kindness, and you said that about her? Do you even have a heart, or is it made of stone?”

Immediately, Stephanie acted like she had found a protector, her eyes reddening as she looked pitifully at Matthew. In a soft voice, she said, “Matthew, don’t speak to Milly like that. She meant well. It’s me, it’s my fault for causing trouble.”

Matthew who already feeling protective of her, became even angrier seeing her so upset. “Milly, I order you to apologize to Stephanie right now!”

Milly remained silent.

Indeed, every self-proclaimed saint always has a brainless follower, and Matthew was playing that role perfectly. His stupidity was laughable.

Milly was amused by his outburst. ‘Mr. Matthew, I’d really like to know, shouldn’t there be a reason for an apology? Did I hit her or curse her? I need to know why I’m apologizing.”
