Chapter 35 Mutual Jealousy

Jordan was seething with anger, wanting to vent his frustration on the nearest wall. He acknowledged his past foolishness before his rebirth, mistaking a counterfeit for a treasure. He was fully committed to making amends and deserved a chance to turn over a new leaf.

At this moment, he found himself unable to argue with Leon, as his words held a ring of truth.

This is infuriating!

How could I avoid angering Milly and get rid of this hypocritical foster brother?

Milly also sensed the unusual tension between the two and thought, they were in different industries. They shouldn’t have such a strong sense of competition.

She blinked, trying to lighten the mood. “Jordan, are you here for Stephanie’s swearing ceremony? You can head over there. There’s no need to greet me personally. Leon can handle that for me.”

Although she felt a twinge of discomfort seeing Jordan immediately seek out Stephanie upon arrival, she already had Leon and couldn’t be too possessive.

Jordan appeared displeased, visibly struggling to contain his anger. After a moment, he spoke, “No, I’m here for your swearing ceremony.”

Despite Stephanie and Anthony also attending Crestwood High, he rarely cared about anything beyond. their basic needs. He wasn’t even interested in school events like the swearing ceremony.

However, since Milly’s arrival, he had been monitoring Crestwood High’s situation daily, even assigning seven or eight retired soldiers to protect the school discreetly.

This time, he had even learned of the swearing ceremony in advance and compressed a week’s worth of work into three days to return for the event. Yet, unexpectedly, he was intercepted

So it would be odd if he didn’t feel angry.

Upon hearing his words, Milly was taken aback. “Huh? You’re here for me?”

She had just witnessed Jordan seeking out Stephanie. Have I misunderstood?

Ignoring her surprise, Jordan took a deep breath, quelling the urge to confront Leon.
