He lifted his hand and gave the henchman a solid tap on the back of the head, his face growing serious. “Hush! From now on, Milly is my angel, and she’s your sister–in–law. Treat her with the same respect you would show me!”
The henchman rubbed his head, sniffled innocently, and, still focused on the problem at hand, asked, “So, do we still go after Anthony?”
Ken remained silent and glared at him.
He rolled up his sleeves, showing off his strong biceps, and stared at his henchman. “That’s law. Just try touching him and see what happens!”

When the school bell rang. Milly sighed with relief, collecting all the love letters and cards she had gotten throughout the day into a cloth bag.
The bag was stuffed to the brim.
It had been a tough day, starting with Ken confronting her in the morning, followed by others handing her love letters all day long.
Anthony packed up his things and walked over to Milly’s desk, taking her bag and throwing it over his shoulder. He also lifted the heavy cloth bag.
The bag was very heavy, making him stumble a bit. He asked with curiosity, “What’s inside? Why is it so heavy?”
Milly stayed calm. “It’s full of my love letters.”
Anthony’s eyes opened wide in shock. “Love letters?”
Milly sighed, feeling a bit defeated. “I’ve rejected as many as I could, but some don’t give me the opportunity. They drop them off and dash away before I can refuse, leaving me no option but to take them.
She couldn’t just throw them away, as that would be rude. Even though she didn’t want them, someone had spent time writing those letters, so accepting them was the least she could do out of respect.
She really missed the days when she wore glasses and enjoyed peace and quiet without any interruptions.
Anthony, on the other hand, wasn’t as patient. As soon as he heard they were love letters, he made a face and, without hesitation, grabbed the bag and tossed it into the trash can, making a loud “thud.”
But the moment he did, he regretted his actions.
He should have kept the bag, tracked down those troublemakers one by one, and taught them a lesson for daring to pursue his sister!
It was partly his fault, too. He had been too distracted that day and hadn’t noticed anyone delivering love letters. He realised he needed to be more vigilant about protecting his sister from now on.

Anthony dusted off his hands and scoffed, “A bunch of fools dreaming above their reach. How ridiculous!”
“But
“No room for buts, Milly. We’re students presently, with the looming college entrance assessment in at month. It’s imprudent to stray from focus during this pivotal juncture for our prospects!” Anthony interpreted her demeanour as longing for romantic pursuits. Thus, he proceeded to earnestly counsel her.
Milly furrowed her brow. “That’s not what I was trying to convey…”
“What’s the purpose of all of this? They’re just kids, Do they grasp the essence of love? Writing love letters solely to admire your appearance is a form of affection that lacks sincerity. As you mature, undoubtedly, more suitable admirers will emerge for you. These kids hold no significant value.”
Milly was speechless.
Rubbing her forehead and unable to restrain herself, she lifted her hand to cover Anthony’s mouth, who was about to begin a long–winded speech. She patiently clarified, “Anthony, it’s not that I regret the love letters. What I meant was that the bag is a limited edition from DearD, a gift from Jordan. I really like it, and it’s such a shame for you
to just discard it!”
Anthony immediately went quiet.
Well, as long as it’s not about the love letters.
He gently moved Milly’s hand down, blinked, and said, “Don’t worry, the Burnetts have a long–standing relationship with the DearD. I’ll just ask Jordan for another one. They’ll definitely assist us.”
As they neared the school gate, they saw the Burnetts‘ driver. After giving their bags to the driver, Anthony turned to Milly and said, “You go ahead and enjoy the air conditioning while you wait for me. I’ll return shortly.”
With that, he was on the verge of departing.
Milly likely foresaw his next action and promptly seized his arm. “Are you going to the small grove? You don’t have to. I’ve already resolved matters with them.”
“What?” Anthony exclaimed with concern, “You ventured to meet them by yourself? Did they pose any difficulties? Why didn’t you inform me? It’s
risky!”
Milly was surprised by his intense response and clarified, “I’m okay. They didn’t bully me, and even if it came to a fight, I might not necessarily lose.”
“You still want to fight?” Anthony’s eyes widened in astonishment.
Why is my sister so delicate and tender in appearance, yet her temper is so explosive?
Milly quickly tried to placate the situation. “I didn’t say I wanted to fight. I merely mentioned a possibility.”
“Even if it’s only a possibility/it’s not permissible!” Anthony gritted his teeth. The very idea of his sister facing danger troubled him deeply, and the dread of losing her resurfaced.
“In any future instances of peril like this, you must notify me. Don’t face it alone. I’ll overlook it this once.

Despite the blend of caution and care, Milly felt comforted by it. She valued the shield of familial affection, which filled her with warmth.
She grinned gently. “Alright, Anthony. I get it.”
She then linked her arm with his and jokingly rocked back and forth, “Don’t fret, okay? Anger isn’t good for the wrinkles.”
Anthony snorted proudly, his mouth almost touching his ears, too hesitant to remain angry.
Stephanie exited the school with her backpack and observed Anthony reprimanding Milly.
Though she couldn’t discern their discussion from a distance, she could perceive his irritation vividly. immediately lifting her spirits that had been gloomy all day.
All day long, she had been inundated with praise for Milly’s attractiveness. Even in their classroom, numerous teachers insinuated that regardless of how nicely she dressed, she could never rival Milly, simply due to her lineage.
It enraged her to the brink of boiling, but as they didn’t mention her by name, she couldn’t retaliate, only stew in frustration.
Now, witnessing Anthony scold Milly, she experienced a rush of contentment. She was certain that Anthony, who had always shown favouritism towards her, wouldn’t suddenly switch sides and start favouring Milly.
See, now this situation is becoming unsustainable.
Hiding her excitement, she adjusted her clothing and walked over to them casually. Fluttering her innocent eyes, she commented, “Milly, why did you agitate Anthony once more? He’s usually so tolerant. Did you make a mistake?”
Milly rolled her eyes and got into the car.
Alright, the two–faced person is putting on a show again.
