Chapter 110 George Is Either Jealous or on His Way to Being Jealous
Even Danny, who was nearby, couldn’t help but shrink his neck, glancing at the car door with a desperate urge to jump out and escape,
Why is it that every time Ms. Milly angers Mr. Tate, I happen to be on the scene?
Why do I always have to endure this feeling of being just one step away from death?
It’s not fair!
George looked at her coldly, his eyes hard to read. “You think Neal is pretty good?
His sharp eyes stayed locked on Milly, not missing even the slightest change in her expression. The whole car felt suffocating with his growing murderous vibe.
Milly wasn’t dumb. Even though she didn’t know why he was so unpredictable, she could definitely sense the danger.
Swallowing nervously, she tried to speak, “Yeah, isn’t he one of your company’s artists? He’s pretty helpful. and kind–hearted. He’s indeed pretty good…
George’s anger intensified.
Milly shrank back, confused about why he was suddenly so pissed off again.
She tried flattering him, but he wasn’t buying it.
Maybe I wasn’t doing it right?
“Ahem,” clearing her throat, she decided to try another way. “You know, being helpful isn’t everything. He’s also good–looking, really handsome and cheerful. Your company sure knows how to pick talent.”
Did I get it right this time?
“Haha,” George let out a cold laugh, and the icy vibe around him only got stronger.
Handsome?
And cheerful?
I knew it–this little hedgehog always find a way to piss me off
Seeing George’s face darken like a thunderstorm, Danny decided to save himself before he blew up.
So he quickly chimed in, “Actually/what Ms. Milly means is that you have a great eye for talent. But no matter how beautiful a pearl is, it’s still just a pearl and not very practical. Unlike you, Mr. Tate–you’re not only handsome and charming but also successful. That’s the kind of guy all girls like.”
He finished in one breath, almost choking himself.
Life isn’t easy. I’m just trying to survive, Danny thought.
Finally, desperate to stay out of trouble, he shot Milly a look and winked, signalling her to jump in with

Catching on. Milly quickly nodded, “Yeah, that’s right! Mr. Jarvis is totally right! You’re not like them at all. You’re obviously way better. After all, you’re the one who takes care of all of us.”
She wasn’t sure if it was just her imagination, but as soon as she said that, the tension in the car seemed to ease up a bit.
George’s hand froze, and he looked at her. “So, do you also fancy the type like me?”
Huh?
How did the conversation end up here again? Milly thought to herself.
They had just clarified their relationship, deciding to be ordinary friends. Now, talking about liking each other? That was like tripping over your own feet after just finding your balance!
Terrified, Milly quickly shook her head. “No, no, no! I’m just an ordinary person, unworthy of tarnishing the precious body of a financial supporter like you.”
Her words were firm, and sincere, like a resolute declaration of joining a party.
George squinted at her, then after a while, he spoke, “What if I allow you to tarnish it?”
Milly was shocked.
Is this a death sentence?
If she said yes, things would get messy, and they wouldn’t be able to untangle them.
If she said no, it would be even worse. George would surely throw a tantrum again.
Milly agonised over it for a while before cautiously replying, “Tarnishing a financial supporter’s body, isn’t that, like, totally inappropriate? You’re just like a daddy to me.
“I know you’re just testing my determination. Don’t worry, I am absolutely committed to following the principle of being loyal to my benefactor. I won’t let anyone manipulate my thoughts, and I’ll strive to be a positive, upright youth of the new era!”
As soon as she said that, the tense air relaxed for a moment before exploding again.
The cold pressure filled the car once more, chilling everyone inside.
Milly gulped and pitifully huddled in the corner of her seat, puzzled. She rubbed her arms, covered in goosebumps from the chilly air.
I’ve done my best to explain, so why is he still so mad?
She looked over at Danny on the other side, asking for help.
At this point, Danny had already closed his eyes in despair. Ms. Burnett, you can ignore me, treat me like air, or pretend I don’t exist. Please, just don’t treat me like a human being.
Though I’m physically here, I’m already dead inside.
I can’t take it…

Can’t take it…
The car continued on steadily.
When they were only five hundred metres away from the filming location, Milly quickly asked the driver to stop the car.
“Just drop me off here, I’ll walk the rest of the way.”
George frowned, clearly not agreeing.
Quick to read the situation, Danny chimed in, “Ms. Milly, we’re heading to the set too. We can all go together.”
“Nah, it’s alright, Milly waved it off. The people there don’t know I’m a member of the Burnett family, and I’d rather not stir up any gossip. I just want to focus on acting and making some money. So, it’s best if we split up.
Danny hesitated. “But…”
“Let her get off, George’s chilly voice cut in, devoid of emotion.
Milly swiftly got out of the car, feeling like she was causing too much trouble. She looked at George and earnestly said, “Thanks, Daddy.
Bang!
Before she could finish expressing her gratitude, the door had already slammed shut.
Milly was at a loss for words.
When Milly arrived at the set, everyone was already there.
Joy hurried over upon seeing her, nervously checking her out. “Boss, you okay? Last night, when I went to pick you up. Mr. Jarvis told me Mr. Tate took you home.
“I got worried and followed to check on you. I saw you clinging onto Mr. Tate, refusing to let go. No matter how I tried to persuade you, you wouldn’t listen. So, I left.
Joy’s words were muffled as Milly quickly covered her mouth. “Shh, keep quiet!”
After making sure no one was listening, Milly finally let out a sigh of relief.
“Last night was an accident. Just pretend you don’t know, alright? Nobody can know, not even Jordan!”
Joy nodded quickly, signalling her understanding.
Milly let go of her but still felt uneasy. “I have no connection with him whatsoever. And in the future, don’t say anything if you see him.”
low wrinkled her nose and cautiously said “But Mr. larvis said you’re Mr Tate’s fiancée”

“Bullshit! That’s not true, he’s making it up.” Milly exclaimed, jumping up.
What’s wrong with this Danny? How could he spread such rumours?
