Chapter 117 Putting Stephanie in Her Place
Oliver scratched his head, looking doubtful. âReally?
âNever mind, it doesnât matter. Iâll give you a bunch of accounts to bash Jonathan with. Letâs vent our frustration together!â
Milly declined. âNo, thanks.â
âWhy not?â Oliver thought she was just being polite. âThat guy looks down on people so much, itâs good to vent our anger by cursing him. Itâs good for physical and mental health. If youâre afraid of being exposed, Iâll curse him, and you curse his ancestors.â
Milly was at a loss for words.
She took a deep breath. âNo need, I think his ancestors are pretty decent. Letâs not curse them!â
âButâ¦â
Milly gave him a cold stare. âIf you really want to curse, then just curse him. Donât curse his ancestors or his family, got it?â
Oliver didnât understand. âWhy? Itâs so unsatisfying to only curse him.â
âBecause family shouldnât be dragged into it, you know?â
Oliver blinked as if considering it.
âAlright then.â
Milly let out a long sigh, rubbing her forehead in resignation. That was close, I almost cursed my own ancestors.
Meanwhile, on the other side, Isaac heard Stephanieâs words, and once again saluted. âUnderstood, Ms.
Burnett.
âBut these helicopters are customised models, and today is its inaugural test flight. According to regulations, we need to register your fingerprint. Can we do that now?â
Stephanie smiled sweetly. âOf course.â
Amid the admiring gazes of the crowd, Stephanie gracefully walked to the cockpit door and, following Isaacâs instructions, placed her finger on the fingerprint scanner.
âDing! The fingerprint and information do not match. Please reâenter
The harsh sound of the machineâs Al echoed, reaching everyoneâs ears.
Stephanie was taken aback. Whatâs going on?
Then, she tried to input it again with another finger.

Just as Stephanie was about to try for the third time, Isaac frowned and stopped her. âAre you sure youâre Ms. Burnett? Why isnât the device accepting the input even after two tries?â
Seeing him doubt her, Stephanie got mad on the spot. She pointed at him arrogantly, her eyes full of disdain. âI am indeed Ms. Burnett. Maybe itâs your device thatâs malfunctioning, which is why itâs not working.â
Isaac shook his head. âThatâs impossible. This is the most advanced fingerprint recognition device globally, It can quickly match data from various fingerprints. If it doesnât work on the first try, then it wonât work.
âAnd this plane? Itâs super strict about privacy. If there are three failed attempts, itâs locked for good. So, Iâm asking you again. Are you truly Ms. Milly Burnett?â
The atmosphere turned icy in an instant.
Everyone was left dumbfounded, frozen in their tracks.
Isaac was simply carrying out orders and hadnât met Ms. Milly Burnett as described by the employer. Ar first, he thought this confident girl stepping forward was her, but after two failed fingerprint scans, he sensed something wasnât right.
With his tough training, he swiftly picked up on the change in her expression.
âYouâre not Ms. Milly Burnett. Can you tell me who the real Ms. Milly Burnett is?â
One, then cas
Isaac spoke with an unusually firm a chilling gaze around.
His gaze was so intense that the surrounding staff instinctively took a step back.
Milly?
After all the flattery showered on Stephanie, turns out the Ms. Burnett they mentioned is Milly!!
Due to their astonishment, people around began to whisper.
âIsnât this supposed to be for Stephanie? Itâs for Milly?â
âItâs possible. After all, they both have the same last name, so itâs a mixâup.â
âBut isnât Stephanie a daughter of a wealthy family? How come sheâs being overshadowed by Milly? Whoâs behind Milly? They must have quite some influence.
âTsk tsk tsk, whoever it is, Stephanie really made a fool of herself this time. If I were her, Iâd want to crawl into a hole right now.â
âNo kidding.â
The whispers grew louder, reaching Stephanieâs ears as if publicly mocking her, making her face burn with embarrassment.
Stephanie gritted her teeth fiercely, almost drawing blood from biting so hard.

âNo way! My brother just called and said he got gifts for everyone. You must have got it all wrong! Stephanie protested, her face turning pale.
Seeing her insistence, Isaac furrowed his brow in annoyance.
Finished
Just then, a deep voice rang up again, âWhoâs Ms. Stephanie Burnett? Iâve got a delivery for you. Could you please sign for it?â
Everyone looked at the new delivery driver and exchanged puzzled glances.
Why is there another delivery for Stephanie? Havenât all the gifts been delivered already?
Could it be that the earlier delivery was really meant for someone else?
The driver seemed impatient, shouting again, âWhoâs Stephanie Burnett? Thereâs a delivery for you! We need to hurry and deliver to the next place. Hurry up and sign for it.â
Stephanie hurriedly composed herself, pushing down the panic inside, and tried to keep her cool as she approached. Tm Stephanie, but
âAre you sure itâs me? Because I already received the delivery from my brother. Could you have delivered to the wrong place? Or to the wrong person?â
âNo way.â The driver got impatient, feeling insulted by her doubts. âWe donât mess up like that. Look, the address on this receipt is clear as day. Stephanie Burnett, Television City, Studio XX. Take a look.â
After speaking, he even held out the receipt in front of her.
Stephanieâs trembling fingers took it and, as expected, she saw her name. Then she looked at the senderâs name, and there was written: Jonathan Burnett.
Stephanieâs face instantly turned pale, her mouth gaping in disbelief. âNo, no, this canât be. Just a moment ago, there was alreadyâ¦
The sudden change left her unable to process it.
All crew members couldnât help but glance over at Milly sitting under the umbrella, shocked by the ongoing changes.
Could we have all gotten it wrong, too? Maybe the fancy stuff delivered just now was meant for Milly, not Stephaniet
Milly noticed their scrutinising gazes. Despite her surprise, she maintained her composure and remained calm, sitting there as if nothing had happened.
Only Oliver, who had just perked up, jumped with excitement at the news. âWait, what? The luxury stuff and helicopter werenât from Jonathan?â
