Chapter 117 Putting Stephanie in Her Place
Oliver scratched his head, looking doubtful. “Really?
“Never mind, it doesn’t matter. I’ll give you a bunch of accounts to bash Jonathan with. Let’s vent our frustration together!”
Milly declined. “No, thanks.”
“Why not?” Oliver thought she was just being polite. “That guy looks down on people so much, it’s good to vent our anger by cursing him. It’s good for physical and mental health. If you’re afraid of being exposed, I’ll curse him, and you curse his ancestors.”
Milly was at a loss for words.
She took a deep breath. “No need, I think his ancestors are pretty decent. Let’s not curse them!”
“But…”
Milly gave him a cold stare. “If you really want to curse, then just curse him. Don’t curse his ancestors or his family, got it?”
Oliver didn’t understand. “Why? It’s so unsatisfying to only curse him.”
“Because family shouldn’t be dragged into it, you know?”
Oliver blinked as if considering it.
“Alright then.”
Milly let out a long sigh, rubbing her forehead in resignation. That was close, I almost cursed my own ancestors.
Meanwhile, on the other side, Isaac heard Stephanie’s words, and once again saluted. “Understood, Ms.
Burnett.
“But these helicopters are customised models, and today is its inaugural test flight. According to regulations, we need to register your fingerprint. Can we do that now?”
Stephanie smiled sweetly. “Of course.”
Amid the admiring gazes of the crowd, Stephanie gracefully walked to the cockpit door and, following Isaac’s instructions, placed her finger on the fingerprint scanner.
“Ding! The fingerprint and information do not match. Please re–enter
The harsh sound of the machine’s Al echoed, reaching everyone’s ears.
Stephanie was taken aback. What’s going on?
Then, she tried to input it again with another finger.

Just as Stephanie was about to try for the third time, Isaac frowned and stopped her. “Are you sure you’re Ms. Burnett? Why isn’t the device accepting the input even after two tries?”
Seeing him doubt her, Stephanie got mad on the spot. She pointed at him arrogantly, her eyes full of disdain. “I am indeed Ms. Burnett. Maybe it’s your device that’s malfunctioning, which is why it’s not working.”
Isaac shook his head. “That’s impossible. This is the most advanced fingerprint recognition device globally, It can quickly match data from various fingerprints. If it doesn’t work on the first try, then it won’t work.
“And this plane? It’s super strict about privacy. If there are three failed attempts, it’s locked for good. So, I’m asking you again. Are you truly Ms. Milly Burnett?”
The atmosphere turned icy in an instant.
Everyone was left dumbfounded, frozen in their tracks.
Isaac was simply carrying out orders and hadn’t met Ms. Milly Burnett as described by the employer. Ar first, he thought this confident girl stepping forward was her, but after two failed fingerprint scans, he sensed something wasn’t right.
With his tough training, he swiftly picked up on the change in her expression.
“You’re not Ms. Milly Burnett. Can you tell me who the real Ms. Milly Burnett is?”
One, then cas
Isaac spoke with an unusually firm a chilling gaze around.
His gaze was so intense that the surrounding staff instinctively took a step back.
Milly?
After all the flattery showered on Stephanie, turns out the Ms. Burnett they mentioned is Milly!!
Due to their astonishment, people around began to whisper.
“Isn’t this supposed to be for Stephanie? It’s for Milly?”
“It’s possible. After all, they both have the same last name, so it’s a mix–up.”
“But isn’t Stephanie a daughter of a wealthy family? How come she’s being overshadowed by Milly? Who’s behind Milly? They must have quite some influence.
“Tsk tsk tsk, whoever it is, Stephanie really made a fool of herself this time. If I were her, I’d want to crawl into a hole right now.”
“No kidding.”
The whispers grew louder, reaching Stephanie’s ears as if publicly mocking her, making her face burn with embarrassment.
Stephanie gritted her teeth fiercely, almost drawing blood from biting so hard.

Chapter 117 Putting Stephanie in Her Place
“No way! My brother just called and said he got gifts for everyone. You must have got it all wrong! Stephanie protested, her face turning pale.
Seeing her insistence, Isaac furrowed his brow in annoyance.
Finished
Just then, a deep voice rang up again, “Who’s Ms. Stephanie Burnett? I’ve got a delivery for you. Could you please sign for it?”
Everyone looked at the new delivery driver and exchanged puzzled glances.
Why is there another delivery for Stephanie? Haven’t all the gifts been delivered already?
Could it be that the earlier delivery was really meant for someone else?
The driver seemed impatient, shouting again, “Who’s Stephanie Burnett? There’s a delivery for you! We need to hurry and deliver to the next place. Hurry up and sign for it.”
Stephanie hurriedly composed herself, pushing down the panic inside, and tried to keep her cool as she approached. Tm Stephanie, but
“Are you sure it’s me? Because I already received the delivery from my brother. Could you have delivered to the wrong place? Or to the wrong person?”
“No way.” The driver got impatient, feeling insulted by her doubts. “We don’t mess up like that. Look, the address on this receipt is clear as day. Stephanie Burnett, Television City, Studio XX. Take a look.”
After speaking, he even held out the receipt in front of her.
Stephanie’s trembling fingers took it and, as expected, she saw her name. Then she looked at the sender’s name, and there was written: Jonathan Burnett.
Stephanie’s face instantly turned pale, her mouth gaping in disbelief. “No, no, this can’t be. Just a moment ago, there was already…
The sudden change left her unable to process it.
All crew members couldn’t help but glance over at Milly sitting under the umbrella, shocked by the ongoing changes.
Could we have all gotten it wrong, too? Maybe the fancy stuff delivered just now was meant for Milly, not Stephaniet
Milly noticed their scrutinising gazes. Despite her surprise, she maintained her composure and remained calm, sitting there as if nothing had happened.
Only Oliver, who had just perked up, jumped with excitement at the news. “Wait, what? The luxury stuff and helicopter weren’t from Jonathan?”
