Milly followed in the direction Stephanie’s finger pointed. She spotted a young man with broad shoulders, a slim waist, and a strikingly handsome face.
Strangely, she couldn’t recall ever seeing him before.
Could he be someone whom the original Milly had pursued?
But as far as she remembered, the original Milly was a timid and cowardly girl. She wouldn’t have dared to pursue anyone, especially since she was often bullied by Stephanie even after returning to the Burnetts. How could such a cowardly girl chase after a boy?
Neal Hanson had just changed his clothes when he saw Stephanie waving at him from a distance. His eyes lit up, and he jogged over with a perfect smile. He asked, “Ms. Stephanie, were you calling me just now?”
Stephanie covered her mouth and giggled shyly. “Oh, Neal, don’t be so formal. Just call me Stephanie:
“Alright, Stephanie.
Though Neal wasn’t a top–tier star in the entertainment industry, he had a decent image, a lot of fans, and a good public reputation. He had great potential.
Neal had opce endorsed a product for the Burnetts, and he met Stephanie at the product launch. His manager informed him that Stephanie was the sole daughter of the Burnetts, receiving affection from her family.
He had thought there would be no further interaction with this high and mighty princess. He didn’t expect to see her today on set and was even more surprised she recognised him.
If he were to win over the Burnetts daughter and marry her, what would his future career be? Wait, he wouldn’t need a career then. With the Burnetts‘ wealth, he could do nothing and still have a steady stream of money.
The more he thought about it, the happier and more excited he became. He even looked at Stephanie with a bit of raw eagerness.
Milly noticed this and raised an eyebrow.
Stephanie was basking in his flattery. She didn’t notice his expression. She giggled coyly and asked, “Neal, do you remember my sister?”
Neal’s eyes sparkled with a flash of admiration when he saw Milly.
Though he had seen many beautiful actresses and celebrities in the entertainment industry, the first sight of this girl still made him gasp in awe.
Young yet mature, pure yet seductive–such contrasting qualities in one person would make any man’s.

Milly detested the way he looked at her. She felt disgusted as this man scrutinised her from head to toe. making her feel like he was evaluating her.
Neal smiled. He showcased the smile perfected by countless corporate training sessions and said, “Hello,

Milly frowned, barely holding hack her revulsion. “Hi,”

Neal was even more thrilled by her response, asking. “You’re Milly Burnett, right? I had a junior named Milly, who wrote me love letters. But…”
He looked her up and down again, continuing. “But you’re much prettier.”
Milly licked her back teeth, feeling her patience reaching its limit. She couldn’t even come out with anything polite. “Really?”
Neal didn’t catch her sarcasm and kept emphasising his charm. He admitted, “Yes, I was the heartthrob of Beacon High. Many girls wrote me love letters, but I still remember the junior. She was persistent, sending letters for a whole week. Then I graduated and entered the entertainment industry. I wonder how she’s doing now.”
Stephanie bit her lip in anger, seeing Neal’s unwavering gaze on Milly. But when she remembered her plan, she swallowed her anger.
Patience was key to achieving great things.
Stephanie suddenly exclaimed and interjected, “Oh, Milly, what year were you joining the school?”
Milly replied expressionlessly, “Class of 2020.”
Neal’s eyes brightened and he revealed, “I was in the class of 2017. The girl who wrote me love letters was also from the class of 2020.”
Stephanie feigned surprise and covered her mouth. She exclaimed, “Oh, Milly, you had a crush on Neal back then?”
People around them had started whispering. Milly knew they were talking about her.
Milly had no words.
So, this was her plan all along.
Neal also blushed in embarrassment.
Though he aimed to marry Stephanie and join the Burnetts, being admired by the stunning Milly also greatly boosted his ego.
He glanced at Stephanie, thinking he was being gentlemanly. “Ahem, so you were that junior? What a coincidence! But I have someone I like now, and I’m sorry; even if you followed me to the set, I still have to turn you down. But we can be friends.”
He gave Stephanie a meaningful look, and she lowered her eyes shyly.
The two looked like a pair of young lovers.
Milly felt like her eyes were about to roll to
the back of her head. No, in this life, in all her past lives, and in the eight hundred generations before that, she had never encountered someone so egotistical.
Unable to hold back, she interrupted his fantasy.
“I need to clarify a few things. First. I don’t know you, whether now or before. If you want to flaunt

“Secondly, I’m in the entertainment industry because I love acting, and it has nothing to do with you.
“Finally, narcissism is a disease. Get it treated!”
Neal’s complexion changed dramatically. It was the first time anyone had dared to confront him like this on his face. He snapped, “You wretch!!!”
Joy, standing to the side, had become increasingly frustrated with these two individuals. She mockingly commented, her tone dripping with sarcasm. As Milly got angry, she started to add fuel to the fire.
“Oh, look at the way your complexion changed. I have to admit that you have done a good job taking of your skin; that thick skin of yours is so well preserved.”
“Pifi–Several people couldn’t help but laugh at that.

Stephanie never expected Milly to be so audacious, even without the Burnetts support.
She bit her lip, forcing a few tears, and began her usual manipulative crying. “Milly, how could you say to Neal? He’s here to help Mr. Hawkins. Because Oliver doesn’t want to work with you, the whole crew is in chaos.”

Her words practically accused Milly of causing all the trouble.
