Chapter 280 All–in–One Package Milly couldn’t help but inquire, “Lucius, don’t you relish this dance?” Lucius arched an eyebrow in response, his voice cool yet affirming. “I quite admire it.” Milly’s confusion deepened further. If he appreciated it so, why indulge in this charade of adding spice to his pursuit of Stephanie? “Then why delay … Read More “A Film Queen Chapter 280” »

The almighty film queen unexpectedly became the vicious younger sister of six magnates? Just as she was about to leave to avoid getting in the way of her brothers spoiling the supporting actress, things took an unexpected turn. Big brother offered, “Milly, here’s a black card; use it as you please!” The second brother warned, “Touch Milly and face the consequences!” The third brother demanded, “Who dares harm Milly?” The fourth brother handed over his gold medal, saying, “Milly, take this and play with it as you like.” The fifth brother insisted, “If you want me in your movie, make sure Milly agrees first.” The sixth brother vowed, “Hurt Milly, and you’ll face our wrath!” Milly Burnett simply smirked and continued excelling in exams, becoming a movie queen, a dancer, and a designer all at once! As the six magnates proudly watched their sister shine on TV and claim the title of best actress, a man in a suit suddenly appeared with a diamond ring, proposing publicly to their sister. The brothers wasted no time in reacting, declaring, “We knew his intentions weren’t pure! Dream of chasing our Milly? Maybe in your next life!”

Chapter 275 A Little More Debt Isn’t a Big Deal “Huh?” Milly didn’t quite get what ho meant. She had just suggested he go back and rest, so how did recharging connect to that? “What do you mean by ‘recharge?” George smiled softly, his expression bright and warm like the early autumn breeze outside, stirring something in her. “I mean hugging you. Can I?” Milly was surprised. It wasn’t the first time she’d heard such a direct request. In the entertainment industry, people from all walks of life would say things like that casually, as if it was no big deal. Usually, she’d frown at such remarks in disgust, but this time, she didn’t feel a hint of aversion at all. In her mind, George always seemed aloof and in control. His status and authority meant he never had to act submissive. Yet, in that brief moment just now, she sensed a hint of vulnerability in him. Thinking about it more carefully, it seemed like that was how he always spoke to her, but she hadn’t paid attention to it before. George noticed her tense expression and couldn’t help but shake his head. Lack of sleep really makes people slow! How could I blurt out my inner thoughts like that? He was well aware of how resistant this little brat was to him. Yet here he was, blurting out his inner thoughts just like that. Not getting out of the car was probably the most respectful gesture she could muster. “Ahem, I didn’t mean it that way just now,” George explained, furrowing his brow. If you looked closely, you could see a hint of regret on his face. “Never mind, just chalk it up to me talking nonsense from lack of sleep these past few days. I tend to speak without a filter, so don’t take it to heart. “It’s been too busy these days, even missed the start of your school year. I found at small villa near your school. It’s in a great location, and I thought of it as a back–to- cchool rift for you Iiving in dorme with en manu naanla and all the chatter might 1/4 Jttle More Debt Isn’t a Big Deal +5 Pearls not suit you, especially since you still have to film. Moving out seems more appropriate.” After he finished talking, he handed over a bunch of villa keys with the large emblem of the Riverside Villa. She had seen this place before when Jordan owed her around, but she had strongly objected back then. This area was prime real estate, with each square metre selling for 150 thousand dollars, and its residents were either high–ranking officials or wealthy elites. At the time, she thought it was too extravagant and was worried about explaining to her classmates if they found out. So, she didn’t want the house in that area. She never expected George would give her a house here. “I appreciate it, but Jordan already bought me an apartment in a good location. This villa is too luxurious for me to accept,” Milly declined. George nodded knowingly when he heard that she wasn’t living in the dorms now, as if he had already guessed. Still, he placed the villa keys in her hand. “It’s not a big deal, just a house. To me, it’s not worth much. If you don’t take it, I’ll have to spend time finding another gift, and my time is worth much more than this house.” Milly remained silent. The mindset of wealthy people really couldn’t be understood with ordinary thinking. She sighed softly and gripped the villa keys worth tens of millions of dollars with both hands. She asked somewhat timidly, “When can we transfer the ownership of this house?” George chuckled softly, looking genuinely pleased. Even the furrow on his brow relaxed, replaced with open affection. “Danny has already transferred the house to you, and all the furniture and arrangements inside are done. You can move in directly. If there’s anything else you need, just let Danny know, he’ll take care of it.” Milly was surprised by how quickly George had acted. Everything was already sorted out, making her feel a bit overwhelmed by the sudden generosity. She had no choice; seeing the Burnetts on the brink of bankruptcy, she had to 2/4 11 a Big Deal quickly save money to avoid ending up homeless. +5 Pearis The timing of this house couldn’t have been better, instantly solving her housing issue. As for owing money to George … With already substantial debts to him, a little more didn’t seem like a big deal, did it? George tapped his knee thoughtfully, as if he had just recalled something, and asked, “You get along well with the Scathing family’s heir?” Milly was taken aback. “Who told you that?” George didn’t intend to hide anything: “I heard from my grandpa. He said that Lucius has been in contact with you lately. The Scathings have a strong background in military and politics, which seems respectable on the surface. Just be cautious with Lucius. He may not be as harmless as he appears.” Milly nodded vigorously. She was already aware of this; otherwise, she wouldn’t be so wary of him. “Yeah, I know. But I don’t think there’s a need to worry too much.” Even though Lucius is currently quite attached to her, it wasn’t a big issue. Once Stephanie showed up, he’d definitely be drawn to her. She just needed to hold out for a while longer. As soon as Lucius showed interest in Stephanie, she would be free. Seeing Milly’s confident demeanour, George furrowed his brow, unsure why she suddenly seemed so sure of herself. He was about to ask when suddenly, a black phone beside him started flashing bright red and vibrating intensely, as if someone was urgently trying to reach him. George took the phone without changing his expression, and pressed a button to stop the intense vibration. “There’s some business at the company I need to deal with. … Read More “A Film Queen Chapter 275” »
A Film Queen of Two Worlds Chapter 274 The Worn Out George “Did I hear that right? Live ammo? Oh my god, who can refuse guns!” +5 Pearls “The instructor said it’s like a real battlefield, does that mean there’ll be tanks and fighter jets too?” “This is so cool, I can’t wait!” The excited chatter around them was nonstop, making the three people sitting quietly in the last row look a bit stunned. They really couldn’t get excited. Anthony and Lucius, both from military families, had grown up in army camps. Not to mention simulated battlefields, their elders had even sent them to real battlefields abroad to toughen them up.. As for Milly… Her face turned pale in an instant. Hearing about a simulated real battlefield made‘ her think of the smoke and heaps of corpses, making it hard for her to breathe, as if she had actually experienced that terrifying scene before. “Milly, are you okay?” Anthony noticed her pale face and asked worriedly. It took a while, but Milly finally calmed down from her fear. She took a deep. breath and waved her hand. “I’m fine.” Even though she said that, the scene in her mind felt ay too real. The choking smell of gunpowder, the tingling in her palm from firing a handgun, and the pain of being shot It all felt like sh had actually lived through it before. But how could that be possible? Before she ended up in this book, she lived in a peaceful time and had never experienced anything like that. The original character in the story also lived in a peaceful era. Ca hangould thara uiui mamorine ha avalainadı 1/4 Chapter 274 The Worn Out George Were they really just her imagination? +5 Pearls After school that afternoon. Anthony and Milly didn’t stay in the dorms. Jordan had set up an apartment. nearby for them, so they could just head there to rest in the evenings. But since Xavier had offended Anthony, Anthony decided not to go back right after school. He claimed he needed to reclaim his dignity, and ran off with his backpack. Before leaving, he didn’t forget his responsibility as an older brother. He called the Burnetts’s driver, instructing him to pick up Milly before leaving. As for himself, he would take a taxi home later. As soon as Milly left the classroom, she saw Lucius following her. She frowned. “Aren’t you staying in the dorm? Why aren’t you going back there?” Lucius naturally took her backpack and slung it over his shoulder. His handsome face remained expressionless. “I’ll walk you out of the school first.” Milly instinctively pulled back. “Huh?” If it were someone else offering to walk her out, she might have believed it, but Lucius… She couldn’t shake the feeling that he wasn’t just offering to escort her out of school, but rather to lead her into the woods to cut her throat. Seeing her hesitate, Lucius frowned, showing a cold expression. “Friends should help each other, and guys should look out for girls.” Why did that sound so off? It sounded like something kids would say to each other. At that moment, Lucius stepped closer to her again, pulling back the distance from before. “Let’s go.” Seeing his determination, Milly had no choice but to follow along. Later, when she meets Stephanie, she vows to stick to the original plot of the book and push Lucius away again, preventing him from lingering around her and 2/4 Chapter 274 The Worn Out George making her fear his potential to turn bad. +5 Pearls As they reached the school gate, she spotted a smartly dressed man waving excitedly at her from a distance, as if afraid she wouldn’t see him. “Ms. Milly! Ms. Milly, over here!” It was Danny. What’s he doing here? Luckily, his voice wasn’t too loud, so only Milly noticed and hurried over. “Mr. Jarvis, what’s up? Are you looking for me?” … Read More “A Film Queen Chapter 274” »
Chapter 273 The Instructor Is the Fourth Brother Xavier 1.45 Pearls Milly frowned as she looked at Xavier on the podium, his cold stare and fierce. demeanour making her fall into deep thought. Our instructor is Xavier? She remembered Anthony mentioning that Xavier grew up with Philip. He was supposed to go to military school and then join the army, but because of Stephanie, he switched to another field and joined a research institute. She thought he was just doing some basic training in the military, but seeing the medals on his chest, he was already a second lieutenant. It seemed he had been hiding his true capabilities. But the fact that Crestfallen University managed to get a second lieutenant to be an instructor showed that they must have some serious connections. Seeing Anthony standing still, Xavier’s face showed anger. “What? Do you want to lose credits for not following orders and being undisciplined?!” angr Anthony was so angry that his nostrils flared, and his fists clenched tightly, making a cracking sound. That sc*undrel! If he lost credits, Jordan would definitely be furious. The consequence of his anger would be cutting off his credit card. If Philip found out he was disobeying orders, it would be even worse–he would surely send him to the military for the toughest. training. Just thinking about those scenarios made him feel like dying. A real man can adapt to the situation. Anthony forced himself to comply, gritting his teeth as he walked up to the podium. He glared at Xavier with hatred and spoke in a low tone meant only for the two of them, “Xavier, you’d better not mess with me!” Xavier raised an eyebrow, his thin lips slightly parting. “Thirty!” 1/4 Chapter 273 The Instructor is the Fourth Brother Xavier Anthony roared, “Didn’t you just say twenty?” “Forty!” “Fine, thirty then.” “Fifty!” “You son of a-” Anthony’s face turned red with anger, feeling like he might pass out if he looked at Xavier for another second. “Fine, I’ll remember this!” Rolling up his sleeves, he got down on the ground. His muscles; toned from two months of training, moved smoothly with each push–up. One, two, three… Anthony gritted his teeth and finished the fifty push–ups. By the time he got off the podium, his arms were like jelly, and he was drenched in sweat. Seeing him sit back down, Milly quickly handed him a tissue to wipe his sweat and whispered, “Are you okay?” Anthony took the tissue and wiped the sweat from his forehead, taking several deep breaths to calm down. “I’m fine, it’s just fifty push–ups. No big deal.” Milly looked at his flushed face and fierce expression, still a bit worried. “Are you really okay?” Anthony said, “Really, I’m fine. But I’ve definitely got a grudge against Xavier now. I’ll get back at him someday!” Milly also felt that something was off with Xavier today. He came in like he was ready to explode, targeting them specifically. It was like he just wasn’t happy with them. Especially when Anthony was doing push–ups just now, Xavier’s gaze swept over her and Lucius beside her, his expression clearly changing, as if he was even angrier. Hmm… It’s really strange. “Do you know why he suddenly became so unpredictable? Did we do something 2/4 Chapter 273 The Instructor is the Fourth Brother Xavier that upset him?” Milly asked curiously. Xavier’s obvious targeting made it impossible for her to ignore. +5 Pearls “Hmph.” Anthony moved his sore arms a bit, smirked coldly, and explained, “What else could it be? He just wants to assert himself since he’s not as good as you. Typical behaviour from a guy like him!” “Huh?” Milly looked puzzled, genuinely not understanding. Seeing her confusion, Anthony explained quietly, “Remember that time when you and Lucius had that quiz competition? You ended up winning, right? Well, he couldn’t accept it, so he took his paper to Jordan to grade. Turns out he did worse than Lucius and lost a point.. “Since that night, he’s been holding a grudge. Now, seeing you two sitting together probably reminded him of that embarrassing moment, so he’s retaliating.” Anthony’s face was full of resentment, his eyes showing a hint of malice. Listening to him, Milly did recall. It did seem like something had happened, but at the time, she was so focused on playing games with Apollo that she didn’t pay attention to how the results came out. She thought the grades were based on all three papers being graded together. Now it seemed that wasn’t the case. If it really happened like that, she hoped military training wouldn’t always be targeted at them in the future. On the other side, Lucius, who had … Read More “A Film Queen Chapter 273” »
A Film Queen of Two Worlds Chapter 272 Superman Anthony +5 Pearls In the book, wasn’t he supposed to be in the Physics Department? Later on, Stephanie even used her physics knowledge to make a bomb. It never mentioned him changing majors. If he switches majors, won’t that mess up the original plot? Lucius seemed to notice something was off and looked at her with a complicated expression. “You don’t want to see me?” Milly forced a smile. “No, it’s not that.” Lucius said calmly, “But you look a bit unhappy.” Milly hurriedly laughed. “No, why would I be unhappy? As we discussed before, we’re… friends, right? How could I not be happy to see a friend.” The word “friends” almost squeezed out of her teeth. Lucius’s expression improved considerably at that. Anthony frowned as he watched Lucius sitting next to Milly, his lips pressed tightly together, almost overflowing with disdain. How did this guy become so close to his sister all of a sudden? Unable to contain himself, he whispered, “Milly, what’s going on?” Milly took a deep breath, afraid that Lucius might hear, so she leaned close to Anthony’s ear and whispered, “Well, it’s a long story.” Anthony squinted–the first time he had been so serious in front of Milly. He said. with a voice carrying an authoritative tone, “Then make it short!” “Um…” Lucius’s peripheral vision happened to catch the close proximity of the two heads. Because they were so close, their hair strands intertwined together. Through the window, the wind blew in, causing some strands to fall onto Anthony’s back, giving off an intimate appearance. This realisation sparked jealousy in Lucius, as if something personal of his had been taken away. 1/5 09:05 Chapter 272 Superman Anthony HO +5 Pearls His fingers slowly tightened, leaving clear marks on the new textbook from the force of his grip. “Milly!” Milly’s body stiffened, and as she turned her head, she met Lucius’s cold eyes, sending a shiver down her spine. “Milly, you said it yourself, we’re each other’s only friend.” Milly blinked. “Huh?” “So, you can only be close to me,” Lucius said with a straight face and steady voice. Milly was speechless. Is this possessiveness part of his character in this crazy storyline? Smack! Before Milly could even start explaining, Anthony slapped the table and stood up. “Hey, what’s your deal? What do you mean only friends? Who even wants to be friends with you!” Lucius slowly lifted his gaze to meet his. “That’s pretty rude.” Anthony smirked with annoyance, glaring back defiantly. “Why should I be polite to you? Who are you to me?” Lucius licked his lips, a hint of irritation flickering in his eyes. “I’m in a good mood. right now and don’t want to argue with irrelevant people. I’ll give you one chance: shut up now, and we can pretend this never happened.” At first, Anthony wasn’t all that angry, but when he heard Lucius’s words, hist temper shot straight to his head. It felt like a direct insult! Since he was a kid, apart from his sister, older brothers, grandfather, father, and the Tibetan Mastiff at Qld Mr. Santos‘ place, there wasn’t much that scared him. Anthony’s hair bristled with anger as he rolled up his sleeves and stared at Lucius. “I’m not shutting up! How about we settle this right here, right now, and see who’s 2/5 Chapter 272 Superman Anthony backing down from whom!” +5 Pearls His voice was loud enough that everyone in the classroom turned to look. Even Milly was taken aback by Anthony’s outburst. She quickly grabbed his shirt, trying to push him back into his seat. “Okay, okay, calm down…” Anthony, he’s the one who can make bombs! She wouldn’t dare to mess with someone crazy who was capable of wreaking havoc, even if she knew the novel inside out. But Anthony showed no fear at all, quietly reassuring Milly, “Don’t worry. Your sixth brother isn’t the pushover he used to be. After two months of intense summer training, I’m now a superman!” After saying that, Anthony raised his head and mocked Lucius, “You think you’re so tough? Stand up and let’s settle this. If you win, say whatever you … Read More “A Film Queen Chapter 272” »
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!” Millume shaabad 1/5 Chapter 271 Milly Is Terrifying +5 Pearls 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. 2/5 Chapter 271 Milly Is Terrifying Feeling helpless, she took out her phone and started to pacify him. 86%0 +5 Pearls 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’m upset. The affection I can’t hold onto is like sand slipping through my fingers, scattered by the wind.
