Chapter 159 Help Me!
As the seconds ticked by slowlyâ¦.
Georgeâs voice finally broke the silence, âYes.â
Millyâs 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.
âIs that so? Whatâs 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. âYes, but she hasnât agreed to date me yet. Iâll tell you about her once she does, Old Mr. Burnett.â
Philip responded joyfully, âAlright.â
Then, he murmured to himself, âAre girls nowadays so picky? Sheâs not satisfied with such an outstanding guy like you?â
George chuckled, âWho knows.â
Millyâs ears were buzzing suddenly and she couldnât 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, âMilly, whatâs wrong? Why do you look so pale suddenly?â
Milly took several deep breaths before her vision cleared.
She waved her hand weakly and explained, âIâm fine now. I felt a little uncomfortable all of a sudden just
now.
Jordan was still worried, âAre you sure youâre alright? Should we call a doctor?â
By now, Milly had fully snapped back to her senses and her complexion looked better now. It felt like a hallucination just now.
âIâm fine. Donât worry, Jordan.â
Jordan was at ease as she didnât appear to be lying. âAlright, tell me if you still feel unwell. You donât have to push yourself, okay?â
Milly smiled. âSure.â
At that moment, she noticed the bracelet on her wrist had stopped shaking.
She hadnât realized that the bracelet could move on
the truth when he said that the bracelet had a spirit.

âGeorge, 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 wasnât a good thing to ruin othersâ relationships.
Philip sighed when he saw Stephanie wanted to get closer to George. âStephanie, donât 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. Wasnât 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.
âGrandpa, I have something to discuss with George.â
âWhat is it?â Philip asked.
Stephanie smiled sweetly and looked at George. âI love acting, but our family doesnât have an entertainment company. And, Iâm also afraid of the unfair contracts of other companies. So I wanted to ask George if I could sign with his company,â 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 hadnât expected her to consider signing with a company.
Before Philip could respond, Jonathan interrupted mockingly, âForget it. Grandpa says that itâs 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?â
As soon as he finished speaking, he received a whack on his calf, âOuch, that hurts!ââ
Philip glared at him angrily, âServes you right! How can you speak to your sister like that?â
my sister.
Jonathan rolled his eyes. âSheâs not my
He had only one sister, and that was Milly.
âHow dare you say that?â Philip, despite being over eighty, wasnât deaf or blind. Heâd heard Jonathan clearly.
He stood up angrily and raised his cane, wanting to strike Jonathan.
However, Jonathan didnât back down. âMilly is my real sister! Stephanie is adopted!â
Philip liked Stephanie a lot, so Jonathanâs 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. âIâm going to beat you up, brat!â
Jonathan shouted for help. âIlelp me! Jordan!â
âMove aside! Iâm going to hit him to death!â
âAhh! Help!â
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.
