Chapter 135 Mr Tate Rescued You
Jonathan rolled his eyes upon seeing the text message.
Finished
He had previously mocked his older brother for claiming that their family’s merchant background was somehow less prestigious. And now, here he was, bold enough to ask him for details!
Block!
No sooner had he blocked that message, another popped up, this time from his second brother, Matthew,
Matthew asked. ‘Did Stephanie embroider the pattern on this sachet?‘
Jonathan’s brow furrowed. What was with today? Why were all these usually distant people suddenly flooding him with messages?
He quickly replied, “No.”
Matthew texted back. Then who did?‘
A twinge of annoyance pinched Jonathan.
He had clearly stated on Twitter that it was their sister who had embroidered it. Was Matthew being deliberately dense, or was he just refusing to acknowledge their other sister, Milly?
On reflection, the latter seemed more likely.
Frustrated and unable to hold back his irritation, Jonathan responded sharply, “Do you only have one
sister?
After sending the message, he tapped his fingers angrily on the screen.
Matthew did not message back after that.
Meanwhile, Milly was dealing with an emotional outburst on the other end of the line.
Anthony’s voice was filled with distress as he confronted Milly. “I knew it! You must be fooling around with Jonathan while you’re filming! Have you fallen for him instead of me? Am I not the one you love the most?” he exclaimed.
Milly sighed and asked, “Where did you even get that phrase?”
Anthony’s voice escalated, fueled by his emotions. “Don’t try to change the subject. Have you been planning to leave with Jonathan all this time? I’m still waiting for you at home. How can you do this to me? Doesn’t your conscience bother you?” he accused, his thoughts becoming more frantic.
Milly just fell silent.
Anthony, barely scraping by in his understanding of Centralian to get into Crestfallen University, kept up his rant.
Milly rubbed her temples, trying to explain, “It was Jonathan’s birthday, so I made him the sachet. It’s not

Yet, Anthony broke down again. “Not expensive? But you embroidered it yourself! Jonathan wouldn’t even appreciate that. You should have given it to me!”
“How about I make one for you too?” Milly suggested..
“No, I don’t want something that was originally meant for another man.”
“Then, for your birthday. I’ll craft a handmade one just for you. It will be even better than his and truly unique. How does that sound?”
Anthony fell silent.
It took a lot of effort to soothe Anthony.
When Joy arrived just after Milly had hung up, she was struck by the emotional intensity of the conversation. “Wow, Milly, you have such a good relationship with your brother, she commented, impressed.
Milly thought about Anthony’s sulking and smiled to herself–it really was not all that bad.
She had expected to navigate this strange new world alone, as the book’s storyline had her life merely serving to support Stephanie’s plot.
Surprisingly, Anthony and Jordan had been her unexpected allies, offering protection and carving out a space for her in this world.
It was heartwarming, and it inspired her to forge ahead with her own ambitions. She was determined to make her mark in the entertainment industry and shield her newfound family from their predicted. downfall.
Love, she realised, was not a one–person effort but a journey shared with others.
As she set down the food Joy had brought, Milly got ready to leave. “Milly, you should eat first. The director said there might be scenes tonight, so you need to eat to keep your energy up.” Joy suggested.
Milly nodded appreciatively.
Then, a memory prompted a sudden question. “Joy, do you remember when I fell into the water that time?”
Joy, slightly startled, nodded earnestly. “Yes, I do remember that.”
The aftermath of her fall was quite dramatic, particularly because Milly had been trying to save Stephanie, whom she considered deceitful.
That irritating incident was still clear in her memory.

Milly’s expression turned thoughtful as she asked, “Who was it that rescued me back then?”
Joy looked puzzled by the question and hesitated. “Milly, you don’t remember who rescued you?”
Milly nodded.
Her mind had been completely blank when she was pulled from the water, and by the time she regained her senses. I
the person who had saved her had already left.

When Milly saw Neal, his white shirt soaked, sitting next to her after the incident, she had naturally assumed he was the one who had rescued her. However, Neal had denied it earlier today in the secret room, leaving her puzzled about who her real saviour could be.
Who was it then?
Joy thought Milly knew who had saved her, as she seemed aware of it during the rescue. So, she had not brought it
up until now. However, seeing Milly’s confused expression, Joy realised she had been mistaken and decided to clear up the misunderstanding.
“Milly, the person who saved you that day was Mr. Tate,” Joy finally revealed.
Milly’s reaction was immediate and intense. She stood up, a look of complete disbelief on her face.
“What? Who?” she demanded.
“Mr. Tate? George Tate? Are you absolutely certain?”
Milly bombarded Joy with questions, her voice filled with incredulity.
Joy was taken aback by Milly’s intense reaction–she had never seen her so emotionally charged.
“Milly, are you alright? I saw it clearly; it was indeed Mr. Tate who rescued you. After making sure you were safe, he went to change his clothes as soon as the doctor arrived,” Joy explained calmly.
Milly was struggling to come to terms with this new information.
She had thought of countless potential rescuers, but it never crossed her mind that it could be George!
And if he was indeed the one who had saved her, then the unexpected kiss they shared in the water took on a whole new meaning.
Was it really him?
Milly’s fingers lightly brushed her lips as though the touch and warmth from before were still present.
Watching Milly’s emotions ebb and flow, Joy initially felt alarmed by her excitement but now noticed her face turning a deep red, almost as if she were about to cry. Concerned, she asked, “Milly, are you okay? Is something wrong?”
Milly took a moment to collect herself, drawing a deep breath to calm the storm of thoughts swirling in her head. She then settled back onto the sofa with a composed demeanour.
“It’s nothing. Just a bit surprised, that’s all…”
Joy looked at her, puzzled. “Surprised? Shouldn’t you be overwhelmed with emotion?”
Milly remained silent for a moment, taken aback by the remark
“Think about it,” Joy continued, Mr. Tate is the CEO of Tate Group, always buried in work. Yet, he came specifically to see you and didn’t hesitate to jump into the water when he saw you fall. Such a spontaneous act really shows how much he cares about you.”
