Chapter 50 Milly’s Fall from Grace 1

Stephanie returned to her room and dialled a number on her phone.

+5. Pearls

After two busy tones, the phone was answered, and a deep, magnetic voice filled with indulgence came from the other end. “Hello, is this Stephanie? Why did you suddenly call me?”

Stephanie immediately began to complain with a pitiful tone. “Sob sob. Matthew. Jordan and Anthony bullied me. They don’t love me anymore. I’m so sad….

The person on the other end of the phone was Matthew, the second son of the Burnetts.

At this point. Stephanie’s eyes were resentful, and she gritted her teeth. “It’s all because of Milly!”

Matthew was momentarily confused when he heard this name. “Milly?”

He had been holed up in his studio working on his projects for the past few days. Since the return of that sister, he hadn’t laid eyes on her even once, so he had no clue what she looked like.
