Chapter 111 Caught Gossiping
Joy watched the flustered Milly and blinked. Though she hadn’t been with Milly for long, just a few days in
total, she felt…
Something was off. Very off.
As soon as Milly caught Joy’s expression, she realised she had jumped the gun. “What’s with that look? You think I’m lying to you?”
Joy’s face went pale in an instant, her smile still. “No, no, no
Seeing her reaction, Milly felt instantly annoyed. “You still don’t believe me, huh? Fine, let me break it down for you.
“What kind of person is George? He’s at the top of the pyramid, seeing all kinds of flashy worlds and women. But despite all that, he’s still single. What do you think is the reason?”
“Uh…“Joy awkwardly tugged at her hand. “Boss, maybe we don’t need to analyse this…”
But Milly shook off her hand and said firmly, “Why not? I’m determined to clarify this with you today. “He’s just not into girls, you know? He told you that yesterday to use me as a cover, got it?”
Joy’s face had gone pale, and she nodded quickly.
Seeing Joy finally believe her, Milly smirked confidently. She had to go all out to make her buy it.
Luckily, having spent a lifetime in the entertainment industry in her past life, she still had some acting skills up her sleeve. She scared the poor girl, but if she didn’t make it sound serious enough, she wouldn’t believe it.
Just as she was about to drop the act, a cold sneer came from behind her.
“Turns out I didn’t even know I’m into men.”
Milly was startled.
Joy was on the verge of tears now. “Boss, I was just about to warn you, but you spoke too fast, I didn’t even get a chance to say anything…”
Milly froze, feeling like her blood was flowing backwards in that instant.
When she turned around, she was met once again with those familiar, incredibly gloomy eyes.
The last time she felt this awkward was at the Fitzgeralds‘ Paramount Hotel’s suite when George overheard her calling him her fiancé from behind.
How long had passed since then? History was repeating itself once again.
Truly, Diomedes is right. Speaking ill of athers behind their backs would bring calamity upon oneself!
Oh dear, he seemed even angrier this time. Could it be that he wouldn’t even delete the video this time?

Everyone was dumbfounded.
They felt like they’d heard something they shouldn’t have, wishing they could just disappear into the ground.
Right on the brink of disaster, a clear voice broke the tension, “George, you’re here! Are you visiting the set today?”
Milly looked at Stephanie with tears in her eyes.
Never before had she felt so thankful to Stephanie. At that moment, she was like her saving grace!
Feeling Milly’s intense gaze, Stephanie’s eyebrows furrowed slightly, tinged with disgust.
Has this b*tch taken something wrong? Why is she suddenly giving me that look? Is she trying to show off or something?
Hmph! What’s there to be so proud about? Just wait, your smile won’t last long!
Joining Stephanie was Neal, already dressed up. He greeted George confidently, trying to show off his skills. “Hello, Mr. Tate.”
Whether it was just his imagination or not, he felt George’s gaze was sharper than usual.
George first looked him up and down, then stared into his eyes, making him shake in his boots.
Finally, he said, “His head’s too big for his body, shoulders sticking out like wings, posture’s all wrong, too skinny with no muscles, and his skin’s dark but lacks manly vibes.”
And to top it off, he added, “Ugly as sin.”
Neal’s smile froze, like the world was crashing down around him.
As a celebrity, his looks and physique were his pride and joy, but George tore him apart as if he had no worth at all.
Am I getting blacklisted?
Stephanie tried to smooth things over, “George, you know, Neal’s been putting in a lot of effort.”
Hearing her speak, George gave her a cold glare, sending chills down everyone’s spine. Then, he muttered, ‘Get lost.”
Stephanie was shocked.
She hadn’t expected George to be so rude, yelling at her in front of everyone like that. It was humiliating.
With tears welling up, she looked like she was on the verge of crying but was holding back. “George, I didn’t mean anything else. I just wanted to let you know that my grandpa’s back in town. He says he misses you and wants to catch up.”
George squinted, pondering over the truth behind her words.
Although his grandfather had a good relationship with Milly’s grandfather, he didn’t have many dealings with him. With plenty of men in the Burnett family, was it really necessary for him to meet them?

If it were before, he would have simply refused to meet them. But now, with Milly
He had no choice but to meet them..
“Got it. George replied in a flat tone.
Stephanie’s eyes lit up, and she quickly continued, “Then when the
time comes, let’s
go home together.”
George frowned and refused, “Not convenient.
But Stephanie wasn’t ready to give up. She quickly continued, “George, are you going on a business trip out of town? If it’s nearby, I can come to see you, and then we can go back together. Where are you going for your business trip?”
“Frostlands.”
Everyone fell silent.
“Pffi- Milly couldn’t help but burst into laughter upon hearing this.
It must be said that George had an innate talent for discerning between genuine and fake, as well as for delivering knockout punches,
Before Stephanie could shoot a venomous glare her way, she quickly looked away.
At that moment, her eyes landed on Neal, who stood awkwardly nearby. He seemed really knocked down by George’s words earlier, like a deflated balloon.
Though she was still feeling weird around Neal, he did save her once. Being human, she couldn’t just forget that.
So, she walked up to him, pushing down the queasy feeling, and tried to keep her tone calm as she said, “Don’t be too upset. Nobody’s perfect, and besides, Mr. Tate is obviously in a bad mood just now. It isn’t just about you, so don’t dwell on it too much.”
Her voice was gentle, like a cool breeze on a hot summer day, instantly dispelling the gloom in his heart.
His ears tinged with a blush, feeling a bit shy. “Thanks, Milly.”
Crack… George’s fists tightened, his anger on the brink of boiling over.
At that moment, he regretted it all. He couldn’t wait anymore, not for gradual tactics or waiting for opportunities to arise, he wanted to brand this woman all over with his own mark!
Let’s see who dares to get close to her.
Danny stood behind him, frantically wiping the sweat beads from his forehead.
Sob… Ms. Milly is wonderful in many ways, but she seems to unintentionally stir things up wherever she goes. It’s not like she means any harm, but she always gives me pressure.
And what about this Neal? Is he blind or something?
Can’t he see that Mr. Tate is on the verge of exploding? Yet there he is, grinning at Ms. Milly. What’s so funny? Keep laughing like that and you’ll be banished back to your hometown for good laughs!
