Chapter 249 Bringing Out Nirvana

“Grandpa, please don’t blame Matthew and Xavier. I believe they didn’t mean to hurt me. They don’t like- me, and I know that. They are my brothers, after all, so let’s not make things difficult for them,” Milly said with teary eyes..

Philip’s face remained stern, and he didn’t respond.

It made sense, considering he was a traditionalist and very protective of his family. To him, Milly was just at spoiled, illegitimate child. No matter her capabilities, she had no blood relation to him, and she couldn’t compare to his real grandsons.

Noticing Matthew and Xavier’s relieved expressions out of the corner of her eye, Milly smirked inwardly. They were relaxing too soon.

“Grandpa, I know this puts you in a difficult position, so I’ll go upstairs. Today is a good day, and I don’t want to spoil your mood. You’ll be meeting your friends soon, and there’s no need to let this little issue upset you,” Milly said, her eyes red.

To Matthew, Xavier, and Stephanie, her words seemed like a simple attempt at comfort. But to Philip, it was a subtle reminder.

Milly knew that Philip had already called his old war buddies to come to Burnett Mansion tonight to watch an interview video. Even though she wasn’t shown on camera, her voice was recorded.

Philip had arranged this because she had achieved the top national exam score, and the evening would likely revolve around that topic. If she went upstairs and refused to come down now, it would embarrass Philip.

Philip was very concerned about appearances, and it seemed his grandsons were less important compared to his pride…

Philip banged his cane on the floor, his gaze icy as it fell on Matthew and Xavier. “What’s this? Are you. ignoring me now? Apologise to Milly!”

Matthew and Xavier stood frozen. Apologising to Milly, whom they despised, was worse than death.

Watching them stand there, conflicted and immobile, Milly couldn’t help but find it amusing. Her sobs grew louder.

She wanted to see how they would resolve this while defying Philip’s direct order.
