Luckily, at that moment, the flight attendant came forward in time and reminded him politely, “Sir, please do not raise your voice.”
Jonathan finally quieted down. “Oh.”
Until they reached the doorstep. Jonathan behaved himself, helping Milly carry her bag while still being careful not to cause any more trouble.
Bang, bang, bang! He pounded on the solid wooden door. “Open up! Can’t you see someone’s back?”
Milly sighed as she looked at her, clearly still upset Jonathan.
They said women were hard to soothe, but she found that men could be just as difficult. She had been explaining the whole way, but Jonathan acted like he hadn’t heard a word.
Now, there was a doorbell at the door, but he refused to press it and insisted on knocking.
Clearly, he’s still sulking.
Geez!
The maid opened the door. “Mr. and Ms. Burnett are back. Please come in.”
However, as soon as they walked in, they felt something was wrong with the atmosphere.
Sure enough, they saw an old man sitting on the sofa in the living room, with an imposing presence that exuded a sense of dominance.
He held a red sandalwood cane in one hand and twisted a string of rosewood prayer beads in the other.
Just moments ago, he had been resting with his eyes closed. Upon hearing the movement, he opened his eyes, revealing a cold, stern gaze that exuded a chilling authority, instilling fear in those who saw it.
This person was Philip.
In his youth, he fought on the battlefield, shedding blood and bravely battling as cavalry and artillery infantrymen. He even led a guerrilla warfare unit, achieving great military feats.
His leg was injured while protecting Andrew from a stray bullet on the battlefield, and it had never fully healed. As a result, he walked with a slight limp. This was also why the Tates were superior to the Burnetts in status, but Andrew maintained a close relationship with the Burnetts.
Back then, he would use a bloody knife to cut off enemies‘ heads, so even in this era of peace, the old master still exudes a subtle but distinct aura of killing intent.
Among the younger generation at home, apart from Jordan, everyone was terrified of him. They reacted like mice seeing a cat, wishing to sprout wings and fly away immediately.
Although Philip had a powerful presence and was strict and stern with them, his thinking was not rigid, and he had no favouritism towards sons over daughters. He doted on Stephanie extremely,

Due to his poor health, he often needed to recuperate overseas. Concerned about his well–being, the family had never revealed Stephanie’s true identity to him. He had always believed that Stephanie was his biological granddaughter.
Now that Milly had returned, her father and mother abroad tried to tell him the situation, but Philip didn’t believe it. He stubbornly thought she was just an illegitimate child that Carlos got involved with outside and that they made up nonsense to bring her back.
Recently, he received another tearful call from Stephanie, which further strengthened his resolve.
This time, he came back mainly to rectify the family’s reputation, and incidentally, he wanted to see which person dared to bully his obedient granddaughter in his own home!
When Jonathan saw Philip, his legs went weak momentarily, but he instinctively stood at attention and saluted, “Grand Grand… Grandpa.”
Philip slammed his cane on the floor, his voice strong and stern as he rebuked loudly, “What are you wearing? Why are you loafing around like this?”
Jonathan quietly glanced at the decorations on his body, nervously took them off, and said, “Th… this is just decoration.”
Philip snorted coldly. “Are you a blank wall? Do you need decorations to be presentable?”
Jonathan remained silent.
He didn’t even dare to utter a word.
After scolding Jonathan, Philip turned his gaze to the young girl beside him.
Her eyes were clear and determined, unlike someone who would take the wrong path. His anger towards her softened slightly, but he was still quite displeased.
“What’s the matter? Cat got your tongue? Won’t you tell me your name?”
Before Milly could speak, Jonathan’s voice boomed out, “Chief, my name is Jonathan Burnett!”
Philip and Milly were dumbfounded.
Philip’s face darkened, his voice filled with anger as he rebuked loudly, the cane in his hand banging loudly on the floor. “I’m not asking you! I’m asking her!”
Jonathan awkwardly scratched his head and chuckled, “Hehe, that’s what I thought. I knew Grandpa hadn’t reached the stage of dementia yet. How could you forget my name, hehe
Mitt twitched the corner of her mouth, feeling that this guy‘
He’s lucky not to have been beaten to death!
intelligence was on par with Anthony’s.
Milly remained calm and unruffled, not at all intimidated by the imposing presence of the old master. She calmly said, “Grandpa, I am Milly Burnett.”
To her surprise, Jonathan snorted coldly on the spot, his face instantly showing a look of disdainful anger, “You’re audacious beyond belief! Who allowed you to use the surname Burnett?”

Looking at her young age and delicate features, I didn’t expect her to be so scheming, changing her surname as soon as she entered the house.
Haha! Does she think that changing her surname makes her part of the Burnetts?
Milly raised an eyebrow calmly, looking at Philip with some confusion. “So, Grandpa, are you suggesting I continue using the surname Smith?”
“I don’t care what surname you use, but you cannot use Burnett!”
“Grandpa!” Jonathan stepped forward without hesitation, trembling legs but bravely standing in front of Milly, confronting Philip.
“Grandpa, how can you say such things? Milly is my sister, my biological sister. Why Burnetts surname?”
‘t she use the
“You dare to stand up for her?” Philip’s face was filled with anger. “What kind of sister is she to you? Stephanie is your real sister!”
“She’s not!” Jonathan retorted without hesitation.
Not to mention the despicable things Stephanie did in her previous life, she decisively cut off ties with the Burnetts when they fell into decline. She’s a typical ingrate!
She doesn’t deserve to be called my real sister!
Only Milly, even though they treat her poorly and even bully her, quietly works hard to earn money to support them…
This kindness, let alone the fact that Milly is their real sister, would still be worthy of the title of Ms. Burnett even if she
weren’t.
His words enraged Philip, who shouted angrily and raised his cane to strike.
“You br*t, you’re a d*mn fool! Stephanie was right. You and your siblings have been blinded and deceived by her.”
Jonathan was intimidated by Philip’s imposing aura and anger. He shrank back, feeling as if he was facing a childhood nightmare with the cane in hand. Despite being reborn and having lived two lives, he was still terrified.
