see Stephanie for her college entrance exam. She’s our little princess, and I can’t have certain individuals taking advantage of her.”
Milly arched an eyebrow casually.

He was telling her not to get caught up in pointlesspetition; Stephanie had always been the family darling, a pedestal she could never quite reach, a
As soon as Stephanie heard those words, her chin lifted a notch, casting a haughty nce at Milly as if she’d already won.
Childish, Milly thought with a smirk.
Jonathan’s implication was crystal clear to Milly, and Anthony caught on too, his eyes widening. “Mr. Jonathan, what’s that supposed to mean?”

Anthony was bristling. Tartly, he said, “Fighting? This b*stard started it, Xavier. Didn’t you hear him? I’m going to teach him a hard lesson if that’s what’s

Jonathan was upset about thatment. “Treat her like what? We didn’t even mock her or anything, yet you came biting my head off like some sort of r

In response, silence descended swiftly upon the turbulent air.
Jordan’s auramanded respect, a fact well known to all. Any hint of discord reaching his ears promised consequences far beyond mere scolding.
Content that tranquility had been restored, Xavier’s gaze then settled on Milly, a soft smile gracing his features as he approached. “Hey there, I’m Xavier

Xavier reciprocated her yful vibe with enthusiasm. “Absolutely, let’s get that TV fired up.”
“Okay.
