Chapter 159 Help Me!
As the seconds ticked by slowly…
George’s voice finally broke the silence, “Yes.”
Milly’s heart skipped a beat.
She then noticed the bracelet under her sleeve shaking violently. She grasped it tightly with her right hand. until it quieted down.
“Is that so? What’s her name? Philip was clearly surprised to hear that George had someone he liked and took a moment to process this information.
George smiled and replied honestly. “Yes, but she hasn’t agreed to date me yet. I’ll tell you about her once she does, Old Mr. Burnett.”
Philip responded joyfully, “Alright.”
Then, he murmured to himself, “Are girls nowadays so picky? She’s not satisfied with such an outstanding guy like you?”
George chuckled, “Who knows.”
Milly’s ears were buzzing suddenly and she couldn’t hear anything.
She shook her head to clear her mind and the buzzing stopped gradually.
Jordan, who was sitting quietly on the sofa, noticed something was wrong with her. He quickly stepped forward to hold Milly, who was trembling slightly, and asked with concern, “Milly, what’s wrong? Why do you look so pale suddenly?”
Milly took several deep breaths before her vision cleared.
She waved her hand weakly and explained, “I’m fine now. I felt a little uncomfortable all of a sudden just
now.
Jordan was still worried, “Are you sure you’re alright? Should we call a doctor?”
By now, Milly had fully snapped back to her senses and her complexion looked better now. It felt like a hallucination just now.
“I’m fine. Don’t worry, Jordan.”
Jordan was at ease as she didn’t appear to be lying. “Alright, tell me if you still feel unwell. You don’t have to push yourself, okay?”
Milly smiled. “Sure.”
At that moment, she noticed the bracelet on her wrist had stopped shaking.
She hadn’t realized that the bracelet could move on
the truth when he said that the bracelet had a spirit.

“George, here, try this Earl Grey tea, she said sweetly and placed the ceramic teacup in front of George.
George glanced at the cup and frowned while remaining silent.
Philip had initially intended to introduce Stephanie to George, but hearing that George liked someone else, he gave up on the idea.
After all, it wasn’t a good thing to ruin others‘ relationships.
Philip sighed when he saw Stephanie wanted to get closer to George. “Stephanie, don’t just stand there. Sit down and chat with us, he said.
Stephanie was stunned. Is it my imagination? Grandpa seems less interested in me now. Wasn’t he trying to introduce me to George
Did George say something?
She felt upset the more she thought about it and she bit her lip hard.
“Grandpa, I have something to discuss with George.”
“What is it?” Philip asked.
Stephanie smiled sweetly and looked at George. “I love acting, but our family doesn’t have an entertainment company. And, I’m also afraid of the unfair contracts of other companies. So I wanted to ask George if I could sign with his company,” she said.
Philip frowned upon hearing that.
He knew Stephanie liked acting and he had arranged her current role. He thought that she would give up on acting once she had enough fun. He hadn’t expected her to consider signing with a company.
Before Philip could respond, Jonathan interrupted mockingly, “Forget it. Grandpa says that it’s useless to be an actress. They were considered as lowly entertainers in the past. The Burnetts have me as a disgrace. Do you want to surpass me now?”
As soon as he finished speaking, he received a whack on his calf, “Ouch, that hurts!“–
Philip glared at him angrily, “Serves you right! How can you speak to your sister like that?”
my sister.
Jonathan rolled his eyes. “She’s not my
He had only one sister, and that was Milly.
“How dare you say that?” Philip, despite being over eighty, wasn’t deaf or blind. He’d heard Jonathan clearly.
He stood up angrily and raised his cane, wanting to strike Jonathan.
However, Jonathan didn’t back down. “Milly is my real sister! Stephanie is adopted!”
Philip liked Stephanie a lot, so Jonathan’s words were like a personal attack.
Philip had only meant to scare him, but now he was genuinely furious.

He brandished his cane like a weapon and set down his beloved rosary before roaring. “I’m going to beat you up, brat!”
Jonathan shouted for help. “Ilelp me! Jordan!”
“Move aside! I’m going to hit him to death!”
“Ahh! Help!”
The previously harmonious living room erupted into chaos.
As Milly pondered whether to step in, someone held her back. She frowned and was ready to attack the one who stopped her.
However, the other party predicted her moves and slipped a piece of paper in her palm.
