Chapter 168 The Bloodthirsty Teenager

The dynamics between Milly and George had grown increasingly intricate, recent developments adding further complexity to their relationship.

The prospect of accepting another 135 million from him loomed large. Should the Burnetts go bust, the Tates would panic. Businesspeople only had profits on their minds. They would never give presents for no

reason.

George, astute as ever, foresaw her reluctance. Surveying Milly’s pallid countenance, he released a quiet sigh. Despite his careful calculations, why did he still manage to unsettle her?

He needed a different approach. “How much is in your account right now?”

Despite being issued an unlimited credit card, she refrained from using it–those funds belonged to the Burnetts, best left untouched. Bankruptcy and the resultant credit card debt repayment would only compound the family’s. troubles.

George’s expression shifted upon hearing her answer. His brows furrowed subtly, his visage darkening with concern.

Back at the Burnetts, Milly had amassed a mere 150 thousand in savings. It seemed the family’s neglect of Milly persisted, leaving her to navigate the entertainment world alone.

If they genuinely cared for her, why did she bear this burden alone?

Returning to the Burnetts, where she felt estranged, bereft of affection and care, Milly bore the weight of her childhood trials with stoicism and fortitude.
