Chapter 187 Stephanie Might Be Sent Away?
Finished
Milly watched Apollo sit quietly beside Philip, his behaviour perfectly wellâbehaved, without any tantrums or outbursts. Even when Philip awkwardly patted his arm, Apollo just let out a soft âahâwooâ and didnât
resist.
She relaxed slightly, then her eyes shifted to George, who was sipping his tea calmly beside her. She raised an eyebrow, asking. âWhy did you stop me just now?â
She had wanted to remind Philip that Apollo wasnât an ordinary person, prone to outbursts and extreme violence. It was best to take precautions to avoid any accidents.
He was the subject of a secret experiment, so they needed to keep things under wraps to avoid chaos. But they couldnât just say nothing either, in case something unexpected happened. She would feel responsible if something went wrong.
George put his tea cup down on the table nonchalantly. He glanced at Apollo, who was sitting obediently beside Philip, and said. Thereâs no need to explain.â
âWhat?â Milly asked.
âYou havenât noticed, have you? Apollo follows your every instruction without question. If you tell him not to kill, he wonât kill. If you tell him to control his emotions, he will. So, as long as you guide him well, he wonât do anything wrong.
âAnd the more you say, the higher the chances of looking suspicious. So itâs better to say nothing,â George continued.
Milly furrowed her brow as she thought about itâ¦.
It seemed like that was
true.
In the past two days, whenever she had instructed Apollo to do something, he had done it well and never disobeyed her.
He had changed completely from the wild boy in the cage just a few days ago.
It turned out that he had been listening.
-Milly felt a warm sensation spread through her heart as she realised that she wasnât alone in this venture.
Their relationship was a twoâway street.
George noticed Millyâs gaze, and his eyes lingered for a moment before he asked suddenly, âAre you going to sign with a company?â
The topic shifted too quickly for Milly to react. âHuh?â
George raised an eyebrow and repeated his question. âYouâve decided to join the entertainment industry. right? The Burnettsâ company doesnât involve this field and canât provide you with better resources.
âYou can sign with Tate Group instead, George said. âI can arrange for Bonnie to be your manager. Itâs perfect timing since Tate Group is preparing a new TV series and you can join directly.â
Milly was stunned.

Bonnie was a renowned name in the entertainment and fashion circles. She had brought many actors and models into the international spotlight.
Her business acumen was legendary, and her connections were extensive; no matter who she met, be it directors, investors, or producers, they would all show her some respect.
I remember that Bonnie announced her retirement from the industry a year agoâ¦
Or am I mistaken? Are there two Bonnies?
But then George nodded again. âYes, itâs the same Bonnie. I think thereâs only one Bonnie whoâs the top agent in the entertainment industry.â
Millyâs eyes widened in surprise. âSo itâs really her. But isnât she already retired?â
George nodded again, not hiding anything. âYes, she is. At the time, she felt there were no more artists worth managing and she wanted to start a family, so she chose to retire.
âBut she owes me a favour. If I ask, she wonât say no. Besidesâ¦
Millyâs eyes lit up as she asked, âWhat?â
âBesides, I think you two have similar temperaments. Youâre definitely compatible with each other,â George said.
Milly couldnât help but admit that she was tempted.
For an actor, getting a good agent is like winning the lottery; itâs extremely rare. The two people are bound together, mutually dependent and mutually propelling each other.
But if Bonnie were to become her agent, she would have to sign with Tate Group.
She didnât want to get entangled with George anymore⦠not after she already owed him 135 million dollars, and she didnât know when she could repay him. Adding that to the fact that the Burnetts were on the verge of bankruptcy, joining a new company at such a time would be like burning bridges.
After a moment of contemplation, Milly replied, âIâll think about it. Iâm not in a rush.â
George didnât pressure her further. He just nodded and said. âFeel free to call me when youâve made up your mind.â
âI will,â Milly said.
That afternoon, Philip and Anthony took Apollo out for a while.
After Milly sent George off, she couldnât help but think about his words as she walked.
The more she thought about it, the more appealing it seemed, and the more conflicted she feltâ¦
Suddenly, she ran into a wall and bumped her nose against it, making it sting. Tears sprang to her eyes.

Xavier stood there, looking at the girl who was now, sitting on the ground with her hands over her nose, his brow furrowed in concern. His voice was cold and rebuking. âSo annoying.â
Milly finally managed to compose herself and looked up at Xavier. He had lost his previous air of listlessness and had regained his usual cool temperament.
The only thing that hadnât changed was his disdainful gaze as he looked at her.
Although she didnât want to appear too enthusiastic, she knew that he would take offense if she didnât say anything now that she had run into him. She didnât want to add on to her pile of troubles.
âHey, Xavier.â Milly smiled sweetly.
Xavier let out a cold snort and looked her up and down before flashing a cold glance. âYouâd better be careful and not overstep your bounds. Although Jordan cares a lot about you, Jordanâs not the one running the family.â
Milly didnât understand what he was getting at.
âStephanie is kind; she canât be bothered with you, but that doesnât give you the right to bully her. Youâd better stop with your dirty tricks before I lose my temper.â
Milly was more and more perplexed.
âIf Stephanie is really sent away,â Xavier continued, âI swear Iâll make sure you canât stay at the Burnetts!â
He turned around without looking at her again and walked away.
Milly was utterly confused.
Was he kicked in the head by a horse or something?
I didnât even say anything, and heâs blurted out so much nonsense.
Why doesnât he just go find Stephanie if he likes her so much? Whatâs the point of coming over here and saying she might be sent away? He can just send her off. if thatâs the case⦠Huh?
Wait a minute⦠Did he just say Stephanie might be sent away?
In the book, Stephanie isnât actually the Burnetts biological daughter or anything, but sheâs a main character nonetheless. The whole story revolves around the way she was treated at the Burnetts, so it doesnât make sense for her to be suddenly sent away.
Whoâs sending her away? Where are they sending her?
