Get Spoiled after Travelling into A Novel

Chapter 231 Something Big Is Happening

With her older brother’s backing from outside, even if she contemplated taking risks, she likely would not- act rashly.

Finding George was not surprising. The only families capable of matching the Burnetts in strength and influence were the Tates and a few other notable ones. Since she was not acquainted with the others, her attention naturally turned to the Tates.

Furthermore, although Old Mr. Tate had suggested she become the Tates‘ daughter–in–law, George’s acceptance of the proposal was unclear. His ambiguous position suggested uncertainty in the adult world, where not stating a clear decision often means keeping options open. This ambiguity gave her some leeway.

Satisfied with her strategic approach, she inwardly praised herself for possessing the qualities of a protagonist, always prepared with a backup plan.

George’s expression hardened as he focused on Milly. “Do you think I accepted her proposal?”

Milly kept her face neutral, meeting his look directly. “I’m not interested, and I don’t make assumptions.”

Her refusal to speculate did not mean she lacked insight. She could imagine the smirk on Stephanie’s face even if she could not see her, confirming to her that he had agreed.

Returning to her detached manner, she gestured towards the door. “Have you said everything you need to? I’m going to bed.”

“Hold on,” George said, his smile disappearing as he let out a soft sigh and became more earnest.

“I only agreed to Stephanie signing with Tate’s agency and promised to find her a suitable agent, excluding Bonnie. Bonnie isn’t managed by the Tates, and I don’t have the authority to handle her affairs. Even if she were to sign with Bonnie, our agency’s rules would prevent it.”

Milly listened without emotion until he was done, then responded, “This seems to be a matter between you two; there’s no reason to involve me.”

George took a deep breath, saying, “You should know Stephanie might be connected to the Lloyds. During our conversation, she alluded to being close to them. However, the Burnetts and the Lloyds have had no business dealings or shared interests, which strikes me as odd.

“If she truly has ties to the Lloyds, the Burnetts need to be cautious, as the depth of her involvement with them isn’t clear.”
