Chapter 2


    Upon opening it, Anthony discovered a bundle of coins neatly tied with rubber bands inside the box.


    Beneath the coinsy an ount number for remittance and a worn-out notebook. “Hey, isn’t this


    the ount number Stephanie used to send us money? Why is it here with Milly?” Anthony


    eximed in surprise. Jordan’s face remained cold and expressionless, but his fingers trembled


    slightly as he held the box, a realisation dawning on him. As he flipped through the notebook, he


    noticed the elegant handwriting inside. On May 19th, under clear skies, the writer expressed


    concern for her brother’s financial crisis, hoping to quickly earn thirty thousand to help him.


    By May 30th, with gloomy weather outside, the writer worried about her brothers’ dwindling funds


    and eagerly awaited her part-time sry at the end of June. On July 3rd, a text from Xavier brought


    joy, though the writer refrained from replying. Attempts to reach Stephanie, who was abroad, went


    unanswered, leaving the writer longing for her brothers. … The diary’s owner seemed to conserve


    paper by writing small, yet every joy and sorrow was meticulously documented. Further back,


    detailed expense records filled the pages. Initially, the writer juggled five jobs, only finding respite on


    the subway between shifts. Despite earning over three thousand in a month, expenses totaled a


    mere seven dors and fifty cents, with the surplus transferred to her brothers’ ount.


    During the Buts’s bankruptcy, ‘Stephanie’ diligently sent money, responding to every request.


    When Jordan faced challenges with his newpany, ‘Stephanie’ promptly sent thirty thousand to


    assist him. Their curiosity peaked as to how Stephanie, who was abroad, remained so informed.


    The siblings assumed Stephanie simply cared deeply for them. As time passed, each sibling


    pursued their dreams with financial support from Stephanie. It almost felt like Stephanie knew they


    needed money when they needed it. But they knew they were mistaken. Yet the truth revealed a


    different benefactor—Milly, whom they had scorned. Impossible, they thought. How could Milly


    suddenly provide such substantial sums? Perhaps it is all a ruse! Further pages unveiled signed


    agreements for kidney sales, drug trials, and blood donations under Milly’s name. That would


    exin why Stephanie kept saying she was busy and wouldn’t take their calls. It would also exin


    why she knew they needed money when they needed it. It would also exin why the ount the


    money came from was from a bank in the nation. The pieces fell into ce.


    The storm outside mirrored the turmoil within. … On set, Milly mmed shut a romance novel, My


    Awesome Brothers, startling her assistant. “Is the author my hater? The protagonist has my name,


    and she dies horribly.” “And she calls her brothers awesome? More like awesome stupid.” “And she


    ims the protagonist is spoiled? It seems to me Stephanie’s the one who’s spoiled.” “And is Milly


    stupid for giving money? Can’t those brothers earn on their own?” The more she spoke, the angrier


    Milly became, her chest heaving with rage. Finally, she threw the book to the assistant. “Go, throw it


    away. No, burn it!” As a well-known actress, she had experienced her fair share of big and small


    scandals. She had always brushed them off with a smile, believing her mental resilience was quite


    strong. She never expected a book to provoke such anger in her today. The assistant, holding the


    book, stood there in a daze and said, “You really don’t want to see what happens next? The six


    brothers in theter part are … ” Before she could finish her sentence, Milly, in a fit of anger,


    interrupted, “What are you looking at? I’m annoyed by even one more word. Alright, hurry up and


    get ready to shoot.” “Okay.” The assistant could only temporarily ce the book on the table and


    quickly stood up to follow Milly. As soon as the two of them left the lounge, the sky, which had just


    been sunny, suddenly darkened, followed by a fierce wind. Milly couldn’t help but sigh. The weather


    in June was really unpredictable.


    She had only taken a few steps when she suddenly heard a loud shout: “Milly, move quickly. The


    billboard is about to fall!” The wind was too loud, mixed with noisy voices, and Milly couldn’t hear


    clearly. The next second, she felt a sharp pain in her head and fell into darkness … … “Milly, wake


    up. Are you alright?” A chirping voice made Milly’s headache even worse. Opening her eyes, the


    first thing she saw was not a set full of machinery but a brightly lit … mansion? Strange, wasn’t she


    filming? How did she end up here? Where is this? Milly stood still in confusion. “Milly, what’s wrong


    with you? What are you waiting for? Mom asked you to go to her room and bring back that red


    wooden box. She’s very anxious. You need to hurry,” a girl in a blue dress with delicate makeup said


    in a sweet voice. The scent of perfume on her was too strong, causing Milly to frown and step back.


    “Who are you?”


    The girl blinked innocently, “Milly, I’m Stephanie. What’s wrong with you?” Stephanie? Sister? Red


    wooden box? This is a scene from “My Awesome Brothers”. Why am I here? Ignoring Stephanie’s


    surprise, she rushed to the side of the pool, where she could see her reflection clearly on the


    shimmering water surface. Her thick bangs covered most of her face. Her pale and thin face clearly


    showed signs of malnutrition, and her slender figure was so weak that it would fall over with a gust


    of wind. Even the dress she was wearing felt like a sack on her. It was her, yet not her … So, am I


    transmigrating into a book? She saw this scene at the beginning of the story. The adopted daughter


    Stephanie asked the newly arrived Milly to fetch the redwood box containing the hairpin left by her


    grandmother for Olivia, pretending that it was Olivia’s order. However, the hairpin was missing after


    she brought it back.


    Olivia was furious, and with Stephanie’s instigation, she indirectly confirmed the rumours that Milly


    was a theiving country bumpkin, causing Olivia to bepletely disappointed in her own daughter.


    Seeing that she remained silent, Stephanie couldn’t help but feel a bit annoyed. However, thinking


    of her n, she suppressed her inner anger and continued with a sweet smile, “Milly, the banque t


    is about to start, and Mom is waiting anxiously. If you dy, Mom will definitely be angry.” “Milly, you


    just arrived at the Buts. If you make Mom angry at this time, there will definitely be a rift between


    you in the future.” A rift? Haha! Milly subtly curled the corners of her delicate lips. Since her good


    little sister was trying so hard to frame her, she had to let her finish the act. The original owner, Milly,


    was a pushover, but she was not. It’s anyone’s game at this point.Content from N?velDr(a)ma.Org.
