Milly glanced at Stephanie’s unexpected arrival, her brow furrowing instantly. For the first time, she truly understood the term haunted‘
Why is she here? What did she want from me?
Is it just my imagination, or did Stephanie’s eyes regain their usual arrogance the moment they met mine?
Since Jordan and Anthony had started treating her better, Stephanie had avoided direct conflict. Her sudden confidence now must indicate that she had a new plan in mind.
Stephanie walked over with a graceful, confident stride. She maintained a smile and said, “Hey, Milly! It’s been a while.”
Milly raised an eyebrow. A while?
Then, who had I seen last night? A ghost?
Ignoring Stephanie, she continued to flip through her script as she waited for the upcoming costume and photoshoot.
Stephanie bit her lip, seething. How dare this wretch ignore me?!
Just wait; you’ll be crying soon enough!
Taking a deep breath, she suppressed her anger and spoke in a pitiful tone, “Milly, why won’t you talk to me? I really want to be friends. Did I do something to upset you?
Milly found the faux innocence nauseating.
How could she say such disgusting things?
Although Stephanie’s voice wasn’t loud, her pitiable look drew attention. To avoid being seen as a diva, Milly glanced at her and asked, “What do you want?”
Stephanie smiled sweetly and blinked innocently. She said, “Oh, Milly, you’re finally talking to me! I thought you hated me.”
Haha! That’s funny.
“Milly, I’m playing the fourth female lead and your sister in the show. Can we rehearse the lines together? I’ve never acted before and could use your guidance.”
Milly eyed her and realised Stephanie had also auditioned.
This isn’t right. My role was decided at last. At that point, casting for all the other roles should have been complete. Stephanie was in school; when did she make time for the audition?
Ding!
A message from Jordan flashed on Milly’s phone.

Chapter 90 Did Milly Have a Crush on Neal?
Finished.
Jordan wrote, ‘Milly, Stephanie joined your crew through Grandpa’s connections. I couldn’t refuse directly. Be cautious while filming. If she bullies you, please tell me. I’ll handle it.
Jordan continued, ‘Don’t worry; I warned her before she left. She won’t reveal your identity. Take care. I’ll visit the set as soon as I’m free.
Milly now grasps the whole situation.
No wonder Stephanie had regained her spirit–she found a bigger backer.
! 734! Classic protagonist halo, consistently finds a way out when in a desperate situation.
After reassuring Jordan not to be worried about her, Milly put away her phone. With a smirk, she confronted Stephanie’s feigned innocence. Thanks to Jordan’s foresight and warning, Stephanie didn’t need to be overly cautious.
“Aren’t we rehearsing lines? Where’s your script?” Milly asked coolly.
Stephanie froze and stammered, “Hmm….
Sh*t! I had forgotten that I was crammed in at the last minute, and the director hadn’t yet given me a script.
Milly wore a knowing look and asked with a chuckle, “How can you rehearse without a script? Through your imagination?”
“Pfft-“Joy was standing on the side and couldn’t hold back her laughter.
Despite her gentle demeanour, she was surprised that Milly could be so sharp–tongued with a goody two- shoes like Stephanie.
Jordan personally selected Joy to be Milly’s assistant, so she was well aware of Stephanie’s true identity. Initially, she planned to note down Stephanie’s troublemaking and report back to Jordan later. But there was no need–Milly was perfectly capable of handling the situation all by herself.
Hearing her laughter, Stephanie shot her a vicious glare, as if she wanted to skin her alive.
It really was true–like a master, like a dog. If the master had no manners, even the dog they raised would bite indiscriminately!
Joy knew Stephanie’s status, and she wasn’t afraid of her. She defiantly returned the glare.
Jordan had mentioned that she was Milly’s assistant, not anyone else’s. Whether Stephanie was the Burnetts‘ adopted daughter or even their biological daughter, Joy wasn’t afraid of her at all!
A mere assistant had the nerve to glare at her, and Stephanie was so mad that she almost spat blood.
But she knew this wasn’t the time to lose her temper with so many people around. She could only stomp her foot and swallow her anger, forcing a smile.
“Oh, silly me. The director said he’d give me the script later, and I completely forgot. I was just so eager to see you, Milly, that I couldn’t wait to come over and say hello. Can we chat for a bit?”
Joy rolled her eyes.
If she weren’t afraid of causing trouble for Milly, she’d have slapped her already.

Milly, unlike Joy, was accustomed to Stephanie’s antics and maintained her composure. She asked, “What do you want to talk about?”
Stephanie asked innocently, “Milly, you attended Beacon High for a while, right?”
With a blank face, Milly looked at her. She was puzzled by the sudden question.
When Milly was still with the Smiths, she attended Beacon High School. After returning to the Burnetts, she moved to Crestwood High. Once she was at Crestwood, someone posted her grades from Beacon High, spreading rumours that she had cheated. Stephanie orchestrated all of this.
Stephanie knew all this but was asking now. What is she plotting?
Nothing good, that’s for sure.
Stephanie raised her voice a little when Milly remained silent. She asked, “Milly, is that a hard question?
Milly glared at her coldly and said, “Not at all. I did go to Beacon High.”
“Oh, what a coincidence!” Stephanie clapped her hands and looked excited. She went on to say, “Neal mentioned a girl with your name who pursued him at school. He thought he remembered wrong. It turns out he was right. It was you, Milly.”
Despite her sharp mind, Milly’s brain couldn’t process this.
Who is Nealt
I’ve pursued him before?!
With Milly remaining silent, Stephanie quickly added fuel to the fire, her tone dripping with sarcasm. “Oh. Milly, have you forgotten Neal? He’s in our crew too, you know. You’ll be seeing a lot of him. Oh, look, there he is. Let’s say hi to him.”
