A Film Queen of Two Worlds
Chapter 251 The Gloomy Teenager
Stephanie’s words sounded harmless, but Milly could guess that they were squeezed out through gritted teeth. After all, the look in Stephanie’s eyes was murderous.

Milly, however, smiled pleasantly. She was in a good mood. “Since Stephanie is sincerely apologising to me, I’ll forgive her.”
She could hear the clicking sound of bones when Stephanie clenched her fists in anger.
Milly’s smile widened as she noticed that. She felt even happier now.
At this point, Philip spoke up, “Enough, let’s put an end to this. You guys are siblings! Why are you guys bickering all the time?”
It was more of a warning than a scolding.
A warning for Milly to stop.
Milly’s smile dropped a little. Philip adored Stephanie a lot, it was quite difficult to confront her under his watch.
But once was enough.
Just then, a maid entered, “Old Mr. Burnett, your friends, General Lynch, Chief Simmons, and Commander Scathings are here.”
Cheerful laughter could be heard after the maid said that. “Philip, get out of here and welcome us, hahaha…”
Looking up, Milly saw three elderly men at the door. Some had canes, some had their hands behind their backs. They were robust and loud.
These must be Grandpa’s comrades from the military base.
Technically, Philip and George’s grandfather who wasn’t here today should also be living in the military base, but since both families transitioned to business, they were not forced to stay there.
However, their bond forged in life–and–death situations remained strong.

Philip’s eyes lit up as soon as he heard them.

He quickly stood up with his cane and said grumpily, “Frank, you guys must have crawled here like a tortoise. You’re slow!”
Despite his grumbling, he instructed the maid to prepare the best tea for them.
The once young and formidable soldiers now sat on the sofa, bickering while joking with each other.

your mouth. It’s a good thing we fought guerrilla warfare back then, or your loud mouth would’ve gotten us all shot by the enemy.”
“Bah, I was the one who dragged you out of that cellar back then. You were crying. and snotting, calling me your best friend. Now you’re denying it?”
“Hmph, I’ve forgotten what happened. That was ages ago.”
“Hmph, you’re a crybaby and a scoundrel!”
“You!”
Their arrival instantly livened up the empty living room.
Though they bickered and recalled each other’s embarrassing moments, the deep bond between them during their military days was evident.
These old men built the prosperous nation of today. Their heroism was to be forever remembered.
But
Milly suddenly noticed someone out of place…
A gloomy looking boy stood behind a sofa not far away, seemingly having come with one of the old men. He appeared to be around Milly’s age and was exceptionally beautiful… and pretty.
Yes, pretty.
For a boy, no other word seemed to fit. His features were delicate. his eves bright.

There was a red mole under his eye that added a touch of allure to his already striking appearance.
Realising she had been staring too long. Milly quickly looked away. However, he noticed and looked back at Milly.
Milly was stunned.
Why is he looking at me like that?
There was a hint of coldness and bloodthirst in his eyes, making anyone shiver at a mere glance, completely at odds with his beautiful appearance.
Strange. Why would a teenage boy have such eyes?
A voice interrupted her thoughts, “Philip, I heard your granddaughter did well in the exams. She’s the top scorer?”
Philip laughed heartily, his pride almost overflowing. “Haha, she did okay. Still a bit behind what I did back in the day!”
“Sure, keep dreaming. It’s not even night yet,” said Frank Lynch.
Philip, feeling challenged, puffed out his chest, “Come, let Frank see if I’m lying or not!”
Stephanie, elegant and poised, walked over to Philip, casting a meaningful glance at Milly.
Milly was at a loss for words.
Stephanie stood proudly before Philip, smiling softly, “Yes, Grandpa.”
Philip frowned puzzledly. He had called for Milly, not Stephanie.
The other veterans were equally surprised, assuming Stephanie was the top scorer.
They fell silent.
They had thought the top scorer was Milly, who returned recently, not Stephanie.

Since they knew each other well. They hadn’t heard about Stephanic excelling in Crestwood High, so they were taken aback.
Still, having watched her grow up, they smiled kindly at her.
“Oh, the top scorer is Stephanie?”
“Awesome! She looks different now. Such a pretty girl!”
“Stephanie did well, it seems. I’ll have to encourage my kids to learn from her. They’re always playing around and failing exams.”
Stephanie was beaming as they praised her. “Thank you for the praise. I just happen to perform better this time.”
Then, she glanced at Milly.
So what if you’re better than me? The attention is still on me!
