Chapter 74 More Brothers
Clad in a sleek gray suit, a woman with delicate, pristine makeup radiated an aura of elegance and sophistication.
She appeared unfamiliar to Milly.
Noticing Milly’s gaze, the woman smiled and approached gracefully on ten–centimeter heels.
“Hi, I’m Aria, a reporter with Headline Entertainment. Can I interview you?”
Milly eyed her warily, sensing an inexplicable dislike from the woman.
But why? She couldn’t recall ever encountering her before, and there was a significant age difference between them. Where did this animosity come from?
With cameras all around, Milly couldn’t decline. She forced a smile. “Sure.”
Aria’s lips curved slightly as she asked, “Why do you always submit your exam papers early? Is it due to your confidence in your abilities or a desire for camera attention?”
Milly furrowed her brows but kept her cool.
Predictably, the questions were pointed, designed to thrust her into the limelight.
Drawing on her past experiences with reporters, Milly smiled and responded, “The questions are straightforward. Once you’re done, there’s no point in sticking around. Do you expect me to sit in the exam room and doze off?”
Aria pressed on, “So, you find all the subjects easy?”
Milly nodded. “Yes.”
It was the truth. She effortlessly sailed through the science subjects, especially physics, finishing in record. time.
She’d have handed in her paper earlier, but it was against the rules. She could only do it thirty minutes before the time came to an end.
Aria, however, didn’t think so. Instead, there was disdain in her eyes. She obviously didn’t buy the story. “So you think you’ll come out as the state’s top scorer?”
Ah, she’s starting to slander me.
However, Milly wasn’t intimidated. The results will be out late June. You can check it out when you want.”
The tension was not missed on the cameraman. He quickly coughed, telling Aria to stop toeing the line.
The footage would go online, after all. Going after someone so Besides, she was just a kid.
Insistently would make for a bad look.
Aria, however, was irritated by Milly’s arrogance. If she weren’t in public, she’d have slammed her mic in Milly’s face.

something more normal. “What’s your plan after the exam?”
“To earn money,” Milly admitted.
Aria’s eyes widened in disbelief. Do you need money?”
Milly affirmed with a nod. “Yes.”
+5 Pearls.
Financial uncertainty loomed over the Burnetts, making saving imperative for their future security.
In this perspective, she really needed money.
That thought was not made known to Aria. Looking at Milly again, she felt her anger dissipating.
She needs money, eh?
That means her family’s poor
This makes my job easier
They got into the car, and Jordan gave Milly a black card. “There’s no credit limit here. Spend it how you
want.
The gesture came as a surprise. Why’s he giving me this out of nowhere?
“It’s alright, Jordan. I’ve saved up all the pocket money you gave me. I have enough to spare, so I don’t need this.”
It was just a simple reply, but Jordan thought differently. His heart sank into his belly.
Was she like this in her past life too? Did she save up all her cash just to give us some? She didn’t even have enough money for food or clothes. That would explain why she was skin and bones when we saw her.
He clenched his teeth and held back his tears. With force, he pushed the card into Milly’s hand. “Just take it I’m rich. You can get whatever you want. Don’t worry about me.”
He closed up all leakages in the company and made sure the cash flow was air tight this time around. Not only would his company not go bust, but he would grow it to.
Milly didn’t have to suffer.
This scene reminded Anthony of something, and he chimed in, Just take it, Milly. It’s just a black card. You don’t have to keep pushing it back to us.”
“I am not exactly a big spender. This card is overkill.”
Jordan said, “We’ll set up a rule, then. You’re going to spend 45-grand every month. The ladies love designer bags, don’t they? Get a whole series of them. Use the ones you like. The servants can have the
rest,”
“Wuh?” Milly was stupefied,
Is this how the rich play games? This is unbelievable

Seeing her surprise, Jordan felt a pang of guilt. His sister should have been spoiled since childhood, but now she hesitated to spend money. This was his failing as her brother.
“Take it,” he insisted. “From now on, I’ll have Ivan monitor the spending on this card. You can only spend more, not less. If you spend even a penny less, it will double next month.”
Milly sighed. “Fine.”
She decided to keep the card. Jordan probably didn’t know that the Burnetts were on the brink of bankruptcy. If he knew, he wouldn’t be so insistent. It might come in handy in case of an emergency.
Seeing her accept the card, Jordan couldn’t help but smile. “That’s more like it.”
These days, Jordan had been swamped with staying with Milly for her exams and countless company With Milly done with her exams, he headed straight to the office.
The driver took Anthony and Milly back to the Burnett mansion.
As soon as Milly approached the front door, she heard lively laughter and chatter inside, mingled with Stephanie’s playful banter, making the house sound cheerful,
It seemed they had visitors.
tasks.
Anthony noticed Milly suddenly stop and looked puzzled. He stepped around her and opened the door, “Why are you just standing there? Let’s go in.”
As the door opened, the lively chatter abruptly ceased.
Anthony stood in the doorway, eyes wide with surprise. “Xavier? Jonathan? Why are you two back? I thought you said you were busy?”
