A Film Queen of Two Worlds
Chapter 271 Milly Is Terrifying
After picking up her textbooks, Milly found the temporary freshman classroom and settled in to wait for the orientation meeting.
As soon as she sat down, she overheard some students in front causing a stir.
“Wow, is he in our class? Oh my god, he’s so hot!”
“Yeah, look at those long legs, he’s like a model!”
“Ah! I know him, he’s the handsome guy whose photo went viral on the forum when he first registered. I can’t believe he’s in our department!”
“Yeah, I heard he’s supposed to be the Sixth Young Master of the Burnett Group, loaded!”
“Oh my gosh, I think I’m in love…”
Milly arched an eyebrow, feeling curious. If he was causing such a stir on forums, he must be as handsome as a famous actor, right?
With growing curiosity, she glanced up.
At the front of the classroom, Anthony stood with a serious look, his strong build and long legs making an impressive sight. His sharp, cold eyes, bearing a striking resemblance to Jordan’s, scanned the lecture hall as if searching for someone.
He wasn’t bothered by the girls‘ excitement in the classroom, but he wrinkled his nose in annoyance at their exaggerated screams.
His frown caused another round of squeals from the girls in the classroom.
Setting aside everything else, the Burnetts’s good looks really held up under scrutiny, which unexpectedly filled Milly with a tiny bit of pride.
But her pride didn’t last. The moment her eyes met Anthony’s icy gaze on the platform, the cool guy’s face brightened, his grin stretching so wide it almost reached his ears.
“Milly! Milly!”

Why doesn’t the lecture hall have a crack in the floor? If it did, she’d definitely crawl into it!
The looks around her were brimming with gossip, envy, curiosity, and speculation.
Milly felt her temples beginning to throb.
No, keeping up
Suppressing the urge to kick Anthony and halting his leap towards her with a quick glare, she gritted her teeth and said with a strained smile, “Oh, it’s you, Anthony. What a surprise to run into an old classmate here. It’s really exciting!”
her image wasn’t easy. No matter what, she couldn’t let it crumble!
She emphasised the pronunciation of “old classmate.”
Just moments ago, Anthony had been excitedly wagging his tail. Now, he stood there, looking pitiful and sniffing quietly, as if unfairly punished by his sister’s
gaze.
Sob sob, now that Milly has a new dog outside, she doesn’t want me anymore, sob—
“Milly, I…”
Milly narrowed her eyes, warning him silently not to utter another word, or else, she was ready to pounce him!
Anthony held back his words, and thought, Milly is terrifying.
“Yeah, I didn’t expect to bump into an old classmate here. I’m really … happy about. it! So, can I sit here next to you?”
He couldn’t treat her like a sister, but sitting beside her should be okay.
Once everyone heard how they addressed each other, the gossip in their eyes instantly faded. They had thought there might be some juicy gossip, but it turned out they were just happy to see an old classmate. Not so interesting after all.
Seeing everyone lose interest and look away, Milly sighed with relief and nodded.
Anthony obediently hugged his backpack and sat down next to her.
With her head drooping sadly, appearing as pitiful as she could manage, Milly began to question if she had been too harsh just now.

Feeling helpless, she took out her phone and started to pacify him.

Milly: ‘Anthony, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to be so stern earlier. It’s just that, being a public figure, being too intimate with you could cause trouble.’
Anthony: ‘I get it. I’ve been careful to only call you your name.’”
Milly:‘… Does it make a difference? Calling me so affectionately has the same effect.‘
Anthony: ‘Milly, you really don’t care about me anymore. I’m upset. The affection I can’t hold onto is like sand slipping through my fingers, scattered by the wind.
Milly stared at that cringe statement, feeling like she had a lump of blood stuck in her throat–unable to swallow or spit it out, just uncomfortable.
Anthony waited for his sister’s reply for a long time. Frowning and casting a sidelong glance, he noticed her furrowed brow and what seemed like… disdain.
Fine, she finds me disgusting!
There’s already a dog outside!
ignore L. using Jonathan’s life as a guarantee, that from now on, he would
Hmph, he
ignore his sister for an hour to make her feel the heart–wrenching pain of losing her sixth brother’s affection!
Anthony had just resolved himself when his phone vibrated. Checking it, he read.
Milly: ‘I’ve got two apples in my bag. One’s for you and one for me. Will you forgive me?‘
Anthony: ‘Only me? Just me?”
Milly: ‘Of course.
Anthony’s smile widened uncontrollably.
He knew his sister loved him the most. No one else had an apple from her, only he did. It showed she only loved him.
His sister was so awesome that he wanted to always be her little sidekick.

Anthony grinned, looking a mix of cool and goofy, worried others might see him, so he whispered, “Hehe, Milly, I knew you were the best, only bringing fruit for
me.”
Milly held back a smile, not wanting to burst his bubble. After all, he was the only brother in this school. If she didn’t give it to him, who else would she give it to?
But at least he was finally happy.
She had just let out a sigh of relief and barely had time to relax when a shadow suddenly fell across her desk. She heard everyone around her gasp.
Milly blinked and looked up.
A tall figure stood in front of her, with a sharp chin, a clean, fair neck, and long eyelashes that cast shadows she could see from her angle.
“Milly, long time no see.”
Lucius!
What is he doing here?
Long time no see? Didn’t we just see each other an hour ago?!
Milly frowned. “Lucius, what are you doing here? Aren’t you supposed to report to your department?”
Lucius sat down on the other side of Milly, and as he passed Anthony, a strange, cold glint flickered in his eyes but quickly vanished.
He put down his backpack, took out some textbooks, and placed them on the desk. They were for Life Sciences and Theoretical Research.
“I talked to the dean and switched majors. I like this one better.”
Huh?
He was ranked second in the country, so even without the status of being the Scathings‘ heir, the principal would definitely respect his wishes. No one wanted to waste a talented student, especially because this major needed top students like
him.
