    Upon Milly posing her question, Xavier’s expression shifted almost imperceptibly, as a fleeting glimpse of panic crossed his face.


    It quickly dissipated and was reced by aposed demeanour. His voice, however, retained a husky. subdued tone as he responded, “Nothing happened. I simply… had an epiphany.”


    Milly rolled her eyes at his obvious excuse.


    She wasn’t buying it for a second!


    From his earlier behaviour, it was evident he was hiding something from her. Since he was not being honest, she figured she would <b>not </b>be able to get him to spill even if she pressed further. “Fine. If you don’t want to talk about it, then forget it.”


    Xavier replied with a curt, “Mm.”


    As he was about to leave, he paused at the door and turned back to fix Milly with a determined gaze. As though he feared she doubted him, he emphasised once more with resolve, “Milly, believe me. My earlier words about treating you well and considering you my only sister are genuine. I meant every single word. I understand you may still have doubts, and that’s okay. I’ll prove it to you through my actions.”


    He left after saying that.


    Milly watched his retreating figure and then nced at the remnants he left behind, her eyes dark and inscrutable.


    Meanwhile, Danny had justpleted his report to George.


    Stepping out of the hospital, he caught sight of a suspicious figure lurking near the entrance.


    <b>Narrowing </b>his eyes, he immediately went on alert.


    These persistent nuisances from the Ghost Sect seem relentless. Just when we let one go, another appears<i>. </i>Do they think our patience is endless?


    Ha! Mr. Tate might have been lenient by letting one of them go, but I won’t be. This time, I’m determined to make an example of this intruder and teach <i>the </i>Ghost Sect a lesson they will never <i>forget</i>!


    Fuming, he marched forward to confront the person. However, the closer he got, the more familiar the figure appeared. He had a weird feeling…


    As he approached, he found himself face–<b>to</b>–face with the individual.


    The person was d entirely in ck–they <b>wore </b>a ck baseball cap, ck sunsses, and a ck mask which obscured his facepletely. He even held binocrs.


    This outfit, meant to blend in ironically made him stand out, especially while he <b>was </b>hiding behind a tree.


    <i>He </i>seems oddly familiar.

    The figure in ck, huddled behind the tree, visibly startled. Turning around, he eximed in disbelief, “What the hell? I pulled out all the stops and dressed like this, but you still recognised me?”


    There was a tone of incredulity in his voice, almost a hint ofint.


    Danny’s lips twitched as he discreetly returned the mini–handgun to his suit pocket. He then gave Anthony a <b>thorough </b>once–over and nodded honestly, admitting. “You do stick out… quite a bit.”


    Earlier, Danny had wondered why the Ghost Sect kept sending increasingly foolish scouts.


    Thest one had been rtively sharp and still got caught. This one seemed outright clueless. But now, after seeing him up close, it turned out that it was <b>an </b>old acquaintance.


    Anthony protested immediately, “Tve disguised myself so well; no one should be able to recognise me. Have you been secretly following me? No, wait. What are you doing here?”


    He recalled Jordan’s mention <b>that </b>Milly might be pursuing someone familiar, possibly an old acquaintance they all knew.


    It was hard not to be suspicious of Danny suddenly appearing here.


    Could it be that Milly is after Danny?


    Though Danny could not grasp why Anthony eyed him suspiciously, he knew he could not tell him that George was hospitalised here due to his injury.


    Smiling warmly, he rified, “Mr. Anthony, I’m here to pick up some medication. I had a minor car ident recently, and I have some superficial wounds. I came for a check–up and to collect my prescription.”


    Anthony remained doubtful. “You came to the hospital building to get your medication?”


    Danny continued smiling calmly as he exined in a casual manner. “The inpatient and outpatient sections are linked on the second floor. It’s my first time here, so I don’t really know my way. That’s how I got here. A nurse at the door directed me.


    “If you don’t believe me, Mr. Anthony, I <b>have </b>the doctor’s prescription right here.”


    Anthony took the prescription and examined it. It indeed prescribed medication for Danny, dated today.


    Milly had mentioned pursuing someone yesterday, and Danny was here for medication today. The timelines did not align, so that <b>would </b>automatically rule him out,


    Relieved, Anthony muttered softly. “I’m just <b>d </b>it’s not you. You’re too old for my Milly anyway.”


    Danny <b>looked </b>at him, speechless.


    Can he not criticise me right in front <i>of </i><i>my </i>face? I can hear everything!


    Besides, how am I old? <i>I </i>am only twenty–eight, still in my primet Sure, I am dressed more maturely….


    But what is he talking about?


    Something about him being d it’s not me? Something about me being too old <i>for </i>Ms. Millyr

    Danny wasn’t just anyone; he was a renowned assistant, a genius with high emotional and intellectual intelligence<b>, </b>and a formidable talent beside George. With a quick shift of his eyes, he almost understood Anthony’s intention.


    “Mr. Anthony, are you waiting for someone here? I’ve just been inside and am quite familiar with theyout. So, if you need help finding someone, I can help you.


    Anthony, despite being well–protected by the Buts and possessing a straightforward nature, was not easily fooled. Not believing Danny at all, he declined his offer.


    “No need. I can manage on my own.”This content belongs to N?/velDra/ma.Org .


    Danny, with a cunning gleam, advised, “I know you can <b>manage </b>on your own, Mr. Anthony, but your outfit is quite conspicuous. Haven’t you noticed the security guard eyeing you with that steel fork? Keep wandering, and they might take action.”


    Half sceptical, Anthony nced up and locked eyes with a burly security guard, whose muscles bulged as he gripped the steel fork tighter.


    Anthony was stunned.


    Danny seized the moment and added, “While I’m not part of But Group, the Tates and Buts have been family friends for generations. Even if I had ten times the nerve, I wouldn’t dare harm the Buts while Old Mr. Tate is <b>alive</b>. So,pared to a stranger, I believe I’m someone you can trust. Wouldn’t you agree?”


    Anthony pondered.


    He could not deny that what Danny said made sense. Despite the family’s issues with George, their grandfather’s bond with the Tates was unbreakable. Even if Danny had hidden motives, he would not dare cross the Buts.


    As for George…


    Rumours had it he was abroad on a project and not due back <b>soon</b>, so he would not pose any immediatel threat. As long as Milly was not pursuing George, things seemed manageable.


    “Alright then. There’s no harm in telling you. After all, you won’t pose much of a threat….
