When Anthony spoke, a flecting hint of sharpness glinted in Stephanie’s eyes, swiftly masked as she looked up again, returning to her usual innocent demeanour.
Xavier, Anthony, please don’t fight because of me. If copying the family rules can cheer up Anthony, then I’ll do it. I’m just a bit weaktely, so it might take me some time.”
Seeing her maturity, Xavier felt even more concerned. “Stephanic
Anthony, on the other hand, shrugged. “Oh? Really? I don’t buy it!”
Stephanie was angry.
Anthony!
It doesn’t matter. Once she got what she wanted, Anthony would be the first one she threw away!
She hadn’t fully gotten what she wanted and hadn’t firmly established herself in the Buts, so she couldn’t afford to act rashly!
Her brothers‘ affection for her had already started to shift. It was because she was reborn a bitte, and many things weren’t under control in time. But it was okay. Philip still called the shots. As long as she kept her grandpa’s favour, even Jordan wouldn’t dare to openly do anything to her.
Just now, Anthony got it half right. It <b>was </b>true she was joining the worship because the <b>Tates </b>would be there, but it was not just about George.
Earlier, she had underestimated <b>things </b><b>and </b>actually offended Andrew. This time<b>, </b><b>she </b><b>was </b>going to mend. fences because, besides her own grandpa, the Tates were also valuable backers.
And there was something even more crucial. She remembered that Master Karuna would lead this ancestral ritual. He was a highly respected master, admired by both families‘ grandfathers. If she can win his favour and be his apprentice, both grandfathers will see her differently, <b>which </b>would make her path ahead much smoother.
In the previous life before the Buts went bankrupt, she had tried to please Philip by collecting many habits of <b>Master </b>Karuna <b>and </b>studying numerous Buddhist scriptures. Unexpectedly, these efforts wereing in handy this time.
So, she felt very confident.
This time, what she wanted wasn’t just about the Buts!
Philip timely interrupted their bickering, tapping his cane on the floor. “Enough, enough! Bickering early in the morning gives me a headache.Têxt ? N?velDrama.Org.
“What time is it already? Still not going downstairs and making the family wait. Really spoiled. Go wake that girl up! Philip eximed irritably.
The servant nodded quickly. “<b>Yes</b>.”
But just as he took a few steps, he saw Millying downstairs and hurriedly called out, “Miss, you’re here

“Yeah.”
Milly, holding Apollo’s hand, had just reached the bottom of the stairs when she saw the bustling crowd. momentarily stunned in ce.
Is today a special day?
Why didn’t anyone tell me?
Anthony was feeling a bit down earlier, but now seeing Millying down, he felt revitalized instantly.
“Milly! Come sit with us, let’s eat!”
But when he turned and saw Apollo <b>trailing </b>behind, he frowned and stepped forward to pull his <b>hand </b>away <b>firmly</b>. “Hey, what are you doing? You know about personal space, right?”
Apollo never liked strangers touching him, and now, seeing his hand forcibly pulled from his sister’s grip, his face darkened instantly, his frustration evident. “Argh!”
Anthony <b>was </b>startled by his gaze but dared to confront <b>him</b>. “What are you staring at? I’m your older brother now, you have to listen to me!”
After that, he couldn’t help but feel relieved.
In the Buts, he was sixth in line, the youngest boy. Although there were younger sisters beneath him, they y were girls after all–whether it was Stephanie or Milly, he couldn’t quite pull off the Jordan act
But now!
Things were different!
He wasn’t the youngest anymore. He had a younger brother now, so he could boss someone <b>around</b>!
With <b>that </b>thought, he straightened up a bit, his expression turning unusually serious. “As your brother. I feel it’s my job to teach you some basic manners, like… argh!”
But before he could finish, Apollo shoved him to the ground with one <b>hand</b><b>.</b>
“Ouch!” Anthony yelped, pping the ground. Apollo pped his hands and then nted <b>his </b>right foot <b>on </b>Anthony’s back, clearly warning him.
Enraged, Anthony howled, “I’m your brother! How dare you push me like that! You’re disrespecting your elders, rebellious brat!”
Apollo couldn’t even understand the most basic words, let alone the string of words Anthony had just rauled off. He didn’t pay any attention and, after clearing the obstacle between him and his sister, naturally took Milly’s hand again.
“Ah–woo!”
Looking up with his bright, delicate face and smiling sweetly with curved eyebrows and eyes, he appearedpletely opposite to the fierce person who had just knocked Anthony down.
Milly awkwardly tugged at <b>the </b>corner <b>of </b>her mouth. When she looked up, as expected, everyone in the room was stunned in ce.

Only Philip nodded approvingly.

“Very good, excellent! That speed and strength just now were almost identical to mine back in the day. This kid’s got talent.
<b>“</b>Apollo,e over here, sit with me,” he said.
If someone else had heard these words, they would probably feel grateful and sit down immediately.
However, Apollo clearly showed no interest. He continued to circle around Milly, eximing. “Ah–<b>woo</b>, ah-
WOO
He acted as if he was saying, ‘Milly, look at me, am I being good?”
Milly stayed silent.
Philip felt ignored, his eyebrows immediately furrowing in clear annoyance at being disobeyed. He leaned back in his chair, his face tense.
Milly quickly exined, “Grandpa, Apollo is still shy. He doesn’t feelfortable with so many people around, that’s why he didn’t want toe over.”
Upon hearing her exnation, Philip let out a cold snort. His stern expression softened slightly, but he remained serious and rigid. “Kids these days are really spoiled. Back in ready to fight anyone and anything, but we weren’t as delicate as this.”
<i>ur </i>day, we faced battles head–on,
Finally, he kindly said, “Okay, you and hime sit with me. Let’s eat, and after we’re done, we’ll head
out.
The <b>dining </b>table at the Buts‘ residence was big, with Philip at the head. There were two
o seals next to him, usually reserved for Carlos and Olivia.
Philip was traditional, so even when they weren’t there, those seats stayed empty.
He’d just said they could sit next to him…
But where? Could it be those two seats?
As Milly hesitated, a pair of fair and slender hands had already pulled out a seat for her.
<b>Jordan </b>looked at her. “Come on, Milly, take a seat.”
Everyone at the table was staring at them with various expressions.
Some looked nk, some excited, some indifferent, <b>some </b>puzzled, some disdainful, and some reproachful.
In short, these looks were more colourful than anything Milly had faced when she <b>was </b>a famous actress in her previous life.
Milly nced around the table, let out a small sigh, feeling a mix of awkwardness and guilt, and then gently guided Apollo to sit down beside her.
