Get Spoiled after Travelling into A Novel

Chapter 5 Confrontation

She didn’t finish reading the book, only skimming through it briefly. Besides Andrew, there was no other character with the surname Tate mentioned throughout the story. Since there was no previous mention of him, it was likely that he was just a passerby. As long as she didn’t get entangled with the male lead, everything would be fine. As the situation escalated, Milly’s parents could no longer ignore it. They had no choice but to apologise to Andrew with forced smiles, attributing the conflict to childish misunderstandings. They then requested that Stephanie apologize to Milly.

I apologise for my ignorance. Please forgive me.” Observing the privacy of the location, Milly couldn’t help but acknowledge Stephanie’s concern for her reputation. However, she found it excessive for Stephanie to choose such a secluded spot for an apology. But if I don’t do something here, it would be a waste. After all, she did take the time to pick a nice spot like this. Heh. Without hesitation, Milly raised her hand and delivered a firm slap to Stephanie’s right cheek. “Stephanie, this slap is for falsely accusing me!” Before Stephanie could react, another slap landed on her left cheek. “And this slap is for your deceitful and ungrateful actions!” Recalling how Stephanie had colluded with a competitor and fled abroad with the family’s money, Milly felt compelled to take action. Although she was not inclined towards violence, Milly couldn’t bear the resemblance between Olivia and her own, especially considering the tragic fate described in the

She swiftly immobilised Stephanie and issued a stern warning, “If you wish to remain part of the Burnetts, you must rid yourself of these malicious intentions. Otherwise, I won’t hesitate to … send you to the other side.” Her eyes were red, filled with a demon’s cruelty. With a menacing glare, Milly instilled fear in Stephanie, causing her to tremble in place. Pushing her away, Milly retrieved a wet tissue from her pocket and cleaned her hands meticulously, repulsed by the encounter. Gods, she is filthy. In the southeast corner of the garden, a man observed the scene with amusement, a hint of mischief dancing in his eyes. The ruthless demeanour of the woman reminded him of his own. Someone was on the phone, urging, “Master George, are you here yet? The general is throwing another tantrum.” Interrupted by an urgent call, the man, George, refocused his attention. “I’ll be there shortly.” Meanwhile, Stephanie, after the confrontation, fled in distress, presumably seeking solace indoors. Unfazed by the commotion, Milly remained composed. Disposing of the wet tissue, she locked eyes with a mysterious figure, sensing his silent observation. Milly frowned. She knew this man must’ve seen her slap Stephanie. In response, Milly subtly gestured a threat, warning him of the consequences. Regardless of the man’s expression in front of her, she turned and walked into the

here!” A man in a dignified suit walked up to Andrew. “Grandpa, you said you weren’t feeling well? Do you need to go to the hospital?” Milly was confused. Wait, why does this

took a deep breath, forced a smile, and walked up. “Andrew.” George raised an eyebrow. She’s a lot more refined than she was in the garden. Like a cat that’s retracted its claws. “George, didn’t you say you had a childhood betrothal with the Burnetts’ daughter before?
