Chapter 187 Stephanie Might Be Sent Away?
Finished
Milly watched Apollo sit quietly beside Philip, his behaviour perfectly well–behaved, without any tantrums or outbursts. Even when Philip awkwardly patted his arm, Apollo just let out a soft “ah–woo” and didn’t
resist.
She relaxed slightly, then her eyes shifted to George, who was sipping his tea calmly beside her. She raised an eyebrow, asking. “Why did you stop me just now?”
She had wanted to remind Philip that Apollo wasn’t an ordinary person, prone to outbursts and extreme violence. It was best to take precautions to avoid any accidents.
He was the subject of a secret experiment, so they needed to keep things under wraps to avoid chaos. But they couldn’t just say nothing either, in case something unexpected happened. She would feel responsible if something went wrong.
George put his tea cup down on the table nonchalantly. He glanced at Apollo, who was sitting obediently beside Philip, and said. There’s no need to explain.”
“What?” Milly asked.
“You haven’t noticed, have you? Apollo follows your every instruction without question. If you tell him not to kill, he won’t kill. If you tell him to control his emotions, he will. So, as long as you guide him well, he won’t do anything wrong.
“And the more you say, the higher the chances of looking suspicious. So it’s better to say nothing,” George continued.
Milly furrowed her brow as she thought about it….
It seemed like that was
true.
In the past two days, whenever she had instructed Apollo to do something, he had done it well and never disobeyed her.
He had changed completely from the wild boy in the cage just a few days ago.
It turned out that he had been listening.
-Milly felt a warm sensation spread through her heart as she realised that she wasn’t alone in this venture.
Their relationship was a two–way street.
George noticed Milly’s gaze, and his eyes lingered for a moment before he asked suddenly, “Are you going to sign with a company?”
The topic shifted too quickly for Milly to react. “Huh?”
George raised an eyebrow and repeated his question. “You’ve decided to join the entertainment industry. right? The Burnetts‘ company doesn’t involve this field and can’t provide you with better resources.
“You can sign with Tate Group instead, George said. “I can arrange for Bonnie to be your manager. It’s perfect timing since Tate Group is preparing a new TV series and you can join directly.”
Milly was stunned.

“Who? v
You just mentioned … Bonnie? Is it the Bonnie I’m thinking of?”

Bonnie was a renowned name in the entertainment and fashion circles. She had brought many actors and models into the international spotlight.
Her business acumen was legendary, and her connections were extensive; no matter who she met, be it directors, investors, or producers, they would all show her some respect.
I remember that Bonnie announced her retirement from the industry a year ago…
Or am I mistaken? Are there two Bonnies?
But then George nodded again. “Yes, it’s the same Bonnie. I think there’s only one Bonnie who’s the top agent in the entertainment industry.”
Milly’s eyes widened in surprise. “So it’s really her. But isn’t she already retired?”
George nodded again, not hiding anything. “Yes, she is. At the time, she felt there were no more artists worth managing and she wanted to start a family, so she chose to retire.
“But she owes me a favour. If I ask, she won’t say no. Besides…
Milly’s eyes lit up as she asked, “What?”
“Besides, I think you two have similar temperaments. You’re definitely compatible with each other,” George said.
Milly couldn’t help but admit that she was tempted.
For an actor, getting a good agent is like winning the lottery; it’s extremely rare. The two people are bound together, mutually dependent and mutually propelling each other.
But if Bonnie were to become her agent, she would have to sign with Tate Group.
She didn’t want to get entangled with George anymore… not after she already owed him 135 million dollars, and she didn’t know when she could repay him. Adding that to the fact that the Burnetts were on the verge of bankruptcy, joining a new company at such a time would be like burning bridges.
After a moment of contemplation, Milly replied, “I’ll think about it. I’m not in a rush.”
George didn’t pressure her further. He just nodded and said. “Feel free to call me when you’ve made up your mind.”
“I will,” Milly said.
That afternoon, Philip and Anthony took Apollo out for a while.
After Milly sent George off, she couldn’t help but think about his words as she walked.
The more she thought about it, the more appealing it seemed, and the more conflicted she felt…
Suddenly, she ran into a wall and bumped her nose against it, making it sting. Tears sprang to her eyes.

“Ow… That hurts…..

Xavier stood there, looking at the girl who was now, sitting on the ground with her hands over her nose, his brow furrowed in concern. His voice was cold and rebuking. “So annoying.”
Milly finally managed to compose herself and looked up at Xavier. He had lost his previous air of listlessness and had regained his usual cool temperament.
The only thing that hadn’t changed was his disdainful gaze as he looked at her.
Although she didn’t want to appear too enthusiastic, she knew that he would take offense if she didn’t say anything now that she had run into him. She didn’t want to add on to her pile of troubles.
“Hey, Xavier.” Milly smiled sweetly.
Xavier let out a cold snort and looked her up and down before flashing a cold glance. “You’d better be careful and not overstep your bounds. Although Jordan cares a lot about you, Jordan’s not the one running the family.”
Milly didn’t understand what he was getting at.
“Stephanie is kind; she can’t be bothered with you, but that doesn’t give you the right to bully her. You’d better stop with your dirty tricks before I lose my temper.”
Milly was more and more perplexed.
“If Stephanie is really sent away,” Xavier continued, “I swear I’ll make sure you can’t stay at the Burnetts!”
He turned around without looking at her again and walked away.
Milly was utterly confused.
Was he kicked in the head by a horse or something?
I didn’t even say anything, and he’s blurted out so much nonsense.
Why doesn’t he just go find Stephanie if he likes her so much? What’s the point of coming over here and saying she might be sent away? He can just send her off. if that’s the case… Huh?
Wait a minute… Did he just say Stephanie might be sent away?
In the book, Stephanie isn’t actually the Burnetts biological daughter or anything, but she’s a main character nonetheless. The whole story revolves around the way she was treated at the Burnetts, so it doesn’t make sense for her to be suddenly sent away.
Who’s sending her away? Where are they sending her?
