Milly gazed up at George. Her eyes were hidden behind the lenses, revealing no emotion. She said, “Fine, go to your place. But if you try to do anything funny, I won’t hesitate to twist your head off and kick it around like a ball!”

She threatened him, but it was delivered with a touch of girlish softness. George felt his heart was racing wildly.
Even the spiky spikes of a hedgehog were incredibly adorable.
“Alright, George responded with a smile. “You can trust me. I’ve promised not to pressure you any further, and I intend to keep my word. While your family may not be as influential as mine, there is still a connection between our grandfathers. Even if I had any intentions, I would have to respect your grandfather, right? Moreover…
His gaze traveled up and down Milly’s figure. There was a hint of scrutiny and teasing in his eyes.
“Moreover, I realise now that I have some misconceptions about my preferences. I’ve come to the conclusion that I don’t really like women with flat bodies.”
Jerk!” Milly’s eyes widened in anger. He was doing this on purpose, no doubt about it!
Although the previous owner had a poor diet and a slightly slender frame, she was naturally attractive. Her slim figure was not emaciated but rather well–proportioned. Additionally, she had been conscious of having more protein and energy, resulting in a significant improvement in her physique.
While she
may not measure up to the voluptuous foreign women on TV, she’s definitely considered slim when dressed and curvy when undressed. How come it’s described as flat when it comes out of his mouth?
Regardless, it was fine. Judging by his disdainful look, it appeared that he’s truly no longer attached to the identity of Milly being his fiancée.
Milly turned to Ivan, who was standing beside her, and instructed, “When Jordan returns, inform him that I have something to do and I have to visit my classmate’s house, but don’t mention that I visited the Tates.”
Given the existing tensions between Jordan and the Tates because of her, she wished to avoid any further conflicts between the two, which could lead to unnecessary complications for the company.
In any case, once she removed the bracelet today, she could sever all ties with this man completely. There would be no need to interact with him in the future. Therefore, there was no reason to make a fuss.
Ivan hesitated and reminded her, “Mr. Burnett instructed you to wait for him here. If you leave, I won’t be able to explain to him.”
Milly insisted, “It’s fine. Just say that for now. I’ll clarify things with him when I go
home.”
“But…
Milly didn’t give him a chance to finish his sentence. She had already walked away, leaving Ivan torn between following her or staying put.
Danny couldn’t bear to watch any longer. He approached Ivan and patted him on the shoulder, offering reassurance. “Bro, I understand your dilemma. Based on my experience, I suggest you follow Ms. Burnett’s

Ivan chuckled awkwardly and asked, “Are you sure doing that will save my ass?”

Danny glanced at his boss, who was trailing closely behind Milly, and sighed, “I can’t guarantee it will save your ass, but I can tell you one thing…”
“What is it?”
“You need to know how to butter up the right people.”
Leon had just exited the elevator when a strong force pulled him into the room. Then, the door slammed shut with a loud bang.
“You came like this? No mask, no sunglasses, no protective gear?”
Leon’s head throbbed from the nagging. He pushed that person away with a slap and said, “I’m not a celebrity; why should I cover myself up so much?”
Oliver was agitated. His pink hair stood on end and retorted, “You may not be, but I am! If you show up like this, what if the paparazzi spot you? I’m a top star in the entertainment industry! My fans are worldwide.
Leon decided not to argue with him. He changed into slippers and sat on the sofa. “Don’t worry, I paid attention when I arrived; there are no paparazzi nearby,” he assured Oliver.
Oliver finally calmed down.
He trusted Leon’s investigative abilities. If he said there were no paparazzi, then there definitely weren’t any, but
“This isn’t right. I’m so popular, and there are no paparazzi following me? I refuse to accept it! No, I’m going to call my manager and have him arrange for a dozen paparazzi to show up here and create a scene for me!”
Leon was unsure of what to say.
What is he thinking? Could it be that he has been abroad for far too long and has regressed in his understanding of his native language? Or is Oliver simply foolish?
Hmm, the latter possibility seems more likely.
Leon rubbed his forehead and caught sight of a tablet on the sofa. The screen showed a chat box densely filled with words. The WhatsApp ID was Jonathan is a Dog (alternative account number 34).
Unable to resist, Leon asked, “Is this your WhatsApp alternative account?”
Oliver was very candid. He admitted, “Yes, I have one hundred and eight alternative accounts, all specifically for criticising Jonathan. I named it after the one hundred and eight stupid names. Impressive, right?”
The proud look on his face made him seem more like a fool.
Leon couldn’t help but tease, “It’s fine for you to have an alternative account, but why do you have to leave a note behind? Won’t others know it’s you?”

Oliver raised his hand and ruffled his pink hair. He explained. “But if I don’t leave a note, when I switch the account. I might miss out on one comment criticising Jonathan, and that won’t da.
Leon was speechless.
Exhausted, he couldn’t take it anymore.
Clearly, this was a pyrrhic victory.
After Oliver finished his tant, he finally remembered the main reason for them to meet.
Unable to resist, he leaned in front of Leon and asked cautioudy. “Did you go to Crestwood High today! How was it? Did you see the sect leader? Did she blame me for being rude that day?
Leon shook her head and said. “No, I didn’t see her.”
“How is that possible!” Oliver’s voice rose in disbelief. “Didn’t you say you went to Crestwood High today?”
“I did, but I went because my sister is in Crestwood High. It was rushed, and I didn’t have time to find the sect leader. Since you said the bracelet has already recognised its master, a new sect leader has been chosen. There’s no need to rush.”
Oliver held his chin and nooded. “You’re right. Anyway, the sect leader can’t run away.
Suddenly, his eyes lit up and he asked, “Your sister is in Crestwood High, why don’t you ask her for help finding the sect leader? Since they studied at the same school, it should be casier for her to locate the sect leader compared with us”
“No” Leon looked at him sharply and refused firmly.
“My sister is innocent and kind–hearted. I can’t involve her in these dark matters. I’m afraid it will scare her
In reality, what he feared most was that once involved in the Ghost Sect, it would be hard to get out.
Milly did well in her studies, and she worked hard. There was a brighter future ahead of her. Leon doesn’t want her to get involved and ruin her prospects. He wants her to be carefree and happy.
Oliver chuckled lightly and commented, “I didn’t expect you to be so protective of your sister. How about you introduce her to me when you have time? What if she’s my fan?”
A cold glint flashed in Leon’s eyes. A dagger appeared in his hand, and he pressed it swiftly against Oliver’s neck. He asked, “Don’t even think about it!”
Oliver was startled. He looked at the dagger on his neck with wide eyes and asked, “Are you crazy? I’m joking!
Leon didn’t listen to his explanation; the look in his eyes was grave. He warned, “If there’s a next time, this dagger will go straight into your heart.”
Oliver exclaimed, “Okay, okay! Let go!”
Leon then sheathed the dagger and walked into the adjacent bedroom.
Oliver was still in a daze. He sat on the sola, gasping for air. Is he nuts? Definitely nuts!

Fortunately, Leon didn’t hurt his delicate face.
