Chapter 48 The Milk Tea Challenge
+5 Pearls
“That milk tea was my way of challenging Anthony! He always buys you milk tea, so I bought one too. He likes it half–sugar, but I prefer it to be full–sugar. He likes it at room temperature. I like it hot! Even though I can’t outperform him in exams, I refuse to believe that I’m inferior to him in every aspect Williamı declared, gazing at Anthony with determination.
Anthony was speechless.
Even Milly, usually composed, couldn’t help but twitch the corner of her mouth.
So, this guy’s reasoning is that if he can’t surpass Anthony in exams, he’ll challenge him to buy milk tea.
Everyone was taken aback by William’s unexpected explanation and burst into laughter:
“Haha. I knew it. Mr. William would not be interested in Stephanie.”
“Haha. Mr. William is quite something. I’ve never seen someone so determined to win in such a roundabout way.”
“I must say. Stephanie is quite narcissistic. She believes she’s a goddess!”
“If Mr. William has feelings for someone, it would be Milly. She may not be the most beautiful, but she comes from a prestigious family.
The continuous jabs and humiliation completely shattered Stephanie. She couldn’t hold back her tears. “Sob sob. I hate you all!”
After her outburst, she covered her face and fled.
Seeing the main character leaving, everyone dispersed since there was no more drama to watch.
However, at that moment, Anthony, standing in the corridor, didn’t head towards his seat but walked. straight towards Milly’s seat with a gloomy expression and a backpack.
William immediately stood up and blocked his path, shielding Milly behind him.
Knowing that Anthony doted on Stephanic, he probably wanted to confront Milly because his beloved sister cried.
“What are you up to?” William’s tone was icy.
Anthony, unfazed, glanced at him and said, “Move aside!”
“No way! If you want to harm Boss, you’ll have to step over my dead body!”
Anthony and Milly were speechless.
What kind of bizarre and childish talk was this?
Milly sighed helplessly and said, “William, sit down. Have you copied your chemistry homework yet? The teacher will collect it soon.”
The tense atmosphere from a moment ago dissipated instantly. “Right, copy, I’ll do it right away.”

Chapter 48 The Milk Tea Challenge.
*5 Pearls:
Yesterday, he was so absorbed in gaming on the FX esports platform that he completely forgot about homework. It wasn’t until this morning that he realised the urgency, and now he’s hastily copying Milly’s
work.
Seeing him comply, Milly looked up at Anthony, who was approaching.
“What’s the matter?”
Anthony’s expression was blank, his voice cold, “Why didn’t you return my call yesterday?”
“Huh?” Milly blinked.
It took her a moment to recall what he was referring to.
Yesterday, due to the typhoon, she stayed at the Tate’s residence and forgot to call home. Jordan called her numerous times, and there were a few messages from Anthony. She was so preoccupied with reporting to Jordan that she forgot to reply.
“Oh, sorry, I forgot. I thought Jordan would have told you. Didn’t he tell you?” Milly inquired.
After telling Jordan, Anthony didn’t message her again. Jordan should have told him, right?
“You!” Anthony’s face flushed with anger. This woman was definitely doing it on purpose!
Although Jordan did inform me later that she was okay, can it be compared to hearing it directly from her?
The disparity between hearing it from someone else and hearing it directly from the person is evident! He worried about her so much for nothing!
Anthony said in a huff, “Fine, fine! If I ever treat you like a sister again, worry about you again, then I’m a dog! Hmph!”
Milly didn’t understand why he suddenly got so angry. Furrowing her brows, she couldn’t help but remind him.
“Mr. Anthony, you don’t need to repeat it. You already declared last time that calling me sister again would reduce you to a mere puppy. I haven’t forgotten, so there’s no need to emphasise it.”
“Fine! You’re something!” Anthony felt that if he stayed here any longer, he would be driven crazy by her, so he turned around and left in a huff.
His departure was like that of an enraged lion.
Milly blinked, wondering why her sixth brother was still so unpredictable. I have followed his instructions, so why did it seem like he was even angrier now?
Could it be that his monthly period has arrived?
Teenage boys are puzzling.
Melanie mentioned that after the last class ended, the teacher announced the news of the selection of
actors.

“Students, I’ve just received a notice from the school. It says that the famous director Alan Hawkins is coming to our school in the next few days to select ballet dancers to play supporting roles in his new movie. This is a great opportunity for the school to shine. Those who meet the requirements are encouraged to sign up.”
After the teacher left, Melanie leaned into Milly and whispered, “Boss, this is what I mentioned before. I didn’t expect the director to come so soon. Are you going to sign up?”
Milly tidied t
the test paper in her hand and put it in the desk hole. “Yes,”
Melanie’s eyes lit up. “Really?”
But then she thought of something, her smile instantly freezing. She said with some concern, “Bur Stephanie will sign up, too. She’ll do anything to hog the limelight. Her ballet dancing is quite good. What if she tries something again…..
I’m sorry, Boss. It’s because I told her back then, it’s all my fault!”
Milly looked at her with amusement. “What’s it got to do with you? Even if you hadn’t told her, she would have found out now that the teacher has announced it. You just happened to know a bit earlier. That’s all.”
Hearing Milly comforting her, Melanie’s guilt persisted, her tone heavily laden with self–blame. “But she’s scheming something against you again. Don’t be fooled by her delicate appearance. She’s quite cunning and can’t be underestimated.”
Upon hearing this, Milly nodded in agreement.
Indeed, Stephanie lived up to being the pampered sister in the novel “My Six Big Brothers.” Although she hadn’t learned anything else, she had mastered the art of reading the brothers‘ minds.
“Boss, how about I ask to see if she is up to something? Though I am no longer in Class D, I still have some connections.”
Milly looked at the mysterious Melanie and almost couldn’t help but laugh. Connections? I’d think she was talking about some business secret if I didn’t know better.
With a light laugh, she said, “No need. Her little tricks won’t amount to much. We don’t need to waste time on her. Let’s just focus on ourselves.”
After all, she had thrived in the murky entertainment industry in her past life, unafraid of all the dirty tricks. Now, why should she be afraid of a mere young girl?
