Chapter 215 Standing Firm Against Pressure

Just as Stephanie guessed it would happen, Philip’s temper reached a boiling point, adamant that Milly shouldn’t let this chance slip by.

He even went as far as threatening her, insisting she shows the master the proper respect.

“You need to respect the master. If you won’t, then as far as I’m concerned, the Burnetts will act as if you never existed!

A sly spark flashed in her eyes, but she quickly masked it. “Grandpa, let’s not badmouth Milly. She’s not what you think. She’s only recently returned to the Burnetts and is still getting used to everything. It’s normal for her to not know much; she’ll learn in time.”
