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.

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.
