Chapter 113 Ms Burnett’s Gift
Finished
As the crew wrapped up the morning shoot and started prepping for the next scene, a thunderous engine sound echoed through the sel.
A huge truck with a massive body parked at the entrance of the set. Following closely behind, a driver clad in a blue work uniform leapt down from the driver’s seat and exclaimed loudly
“Ms. Burnett, which one of you is Ms. Burnett? I have a delivery for you. Could you please sign for it?” Before Milly could react, Joy excitedly raised her hand and exclaimed, “Here, over here!”
Instantly, everyone’s attention turned to her, even Alan stared at her in disbelief. “Milly, did you order something?”
“Huh? I didn’t…”
Before she could finish her sentence, Joy gently nudged her from behind and whispered in her ear, “Boss, you forgot. It’s delivery from Mr. Tate!”
Milly finally realised that there might be something to it after all.
“Hehe, it’s… my friend bought it, hehe.” For some reason, she felt awkward saying the word “friend“.
Alan didn’t think much of it and just smiled at her. “Alright, young people these days like to keep things mysterious. Go ahead.”
Milly put down the script and took a few steps, but a figure dashed ahead of her.
Stephanie took the delivery slip from the driver, swiftly signed her name, and said with a smile, “Thank you, sir.”
Seeing this scene, everyone on the set couldn’t help but furrow their brows. Didn’t Milly’s assistant Joy just say this delivery was for Milly? How come Stephanie went to sign for it?
But, both of them have the same last name, so it was easy to confuse them.
Stephanie smiled sweetly, then turned to everyone and said cheerfully, “This is a gift from
and
my fifth brother, who knew I was here filming. He specially prepared it for everyone, hoping you all will like it.”
As the driver swung open the cargo door of the truck, the interior was packed with luxurious gift boxes. shining with gold. It was almost as if they could have engraved “lavish” on the truck itself.
Even Stephanie, standing nearby, was taken aback for a moment. Jonathan really went all out, huh?
But then she remembered her pitiful plea on the phone earlier. Jonathan must have felt sorry for her and wanted to save her face. This realisation straightened her spine a bit, and a hint of pride appeared on her face.
They used to give Stephanie a hard time for messing up the shooting, but now, seeing these fancy gifts. they switched gears and started complimenting.
“Wow, Stephanie’s fifth brother must be loaded! He really spoils her.”

nothing for them.”

“Hehe, earlier, Milly’s assistant claimed it was for them. What a joke! Just because they share a last name doesn’t mean they’re all the same. They should have some self–awareness.”
“Hahaha, exactly.”
Joy felt like tearing up hearing everyone’s sarcasm. Mr. Tate clearly said he got the gift for Milly.
“Boss, I’m sorry for causing trouble with my big mouth. I didn’t expect Mr. Jonathan to prepare a gift too. I thought it was arranged by Mr. Tate. I’m sorry…”
Milly didn’t seem to mind. She turned back to her seat and reassured her, “It’s okay, it’s not your fault. Don’t be upset.”
Her tone was calm, showing no emotional change, but the sense of her gloominess was still perceptible.
Joy noticed her eyes losing their sparkle and felt uneasy. “Boss, I’m really sorry. I didn’t expect things to turn out like this. I embarrassed you.”
Milly responded, “It’s okay, it’s not your fault. You don’t need to keep apologising.”
With a soft sigh, she couldn’t shake off the disappointment that Jonathan, knowing she was also filming here, chose to overlook her.
Does he truly dislike me that much?
Feeling oddly choked up, not sure if it’s the previous owner’s emotions or her own.
As Oliver pulled up in his sports car at the set, he spotted everyone gathered excitedly, unwrapping gifts.
“Wow, this is the newest perfume from Dorio this year. I’ve been eyeing it forever but never had the guts to splurge on it.”
“Is this a diamond necklace from Wavestone? Oh my gosh, it’s so gorgeous! It can’t be fake, right?”
FED
“Fake? No way! Look, there’s even an anti–counterfeit label here. This is the real deal, genuine diamonds!”
“Stephanie, your brother is so good to you. I’m so jealous!”
“Yeah, you’re really basking in his glory.”
Amidst all the flattering comments, Stephanie finally let out all her pent–up resentment. Even her look towards Milly regained its superiority.
So what if she’s the real young lady? Right now, she’s still sitting in the corner being mocked.
The Burnett brothers will always pamper me. In everyone else’s eyes, I’m still the cherished Ms. Burnett.
Right?
But that’s not enough, not nearly enough. She wanted to crush Milly, to trample her into the ground so she can never rise again!

Chapter 113 Ms Burnett’s Gift
Finished
Stephanie smiled, but an aura of chilling ruthlessness emanated from her, making it hard to believe that such a delicate girl could harbour such mismatched madness for her age.
Several staff members approached her with gifts in hand, ready to thank her. But they were startled by her icy demeanour. ‘Stephanie, what’s wrong? Are you tired?”
Stephanie came back to her senses, the sharpness in her eyes fading away, replaced by her usual shy and sweet demeanour. “Oh, it’s nothing. I just stayed up late last night reading the script, so I didn’t get much sleep.
The others quickly complimented her, “Stephanie, you’re just too hardworking. You come from a wealthy family, you’re beautiful, and yet you still work so hard. Aren’t you leaving any room for us ordinary folks to survive?”
“Yeah, health is our greatest asset. Don’t push yourself too hard.”
Stephanie smiled and said obediently, “Thank you all for your concern. As long as you like the gifts, that’s what matters. If there’s anything you don’t like, just let me know, and I’ll have my brother exchange it for
you.
“Wow, thanks, Stephanie.”
Then, Stephanie picked up another gift and walked over to Milly in front of everyone, smiling gently. “Milly, this one’s for you.
“This is something my fifth brother specially prepared for me to share with everyone. Go ahead, open it
up. Do you like it?”
She figured with so many people around, Milly wouldn’t refuse her.
After all, she was trying to be kind. If Milly rejected her, it would seem like she was picking a fight for no
reason.
But if she accepted, she’d probably feel uncomfortable inside.
What Stephanie wanted was for her to feel uncomfortable, preferably if she lost it right then and there.
Joy was hired by Jordan as an assistant, and she also knew Milly’s identity. The “fifth brother” mentioned by Stephanie must be Milly’s brother too.
Bringing it up like this, Stephanie definitely had some ulterior motives, which made Joy feel sorry for Milly. “Boss…
