Milly looked at Jordan beside her, leaning in close to whisper, “Jordan, 10% of the shares is way too
exaggerated. I can’t ept that!”
Jordan’s expression remainedposed as he gazed at her, a trace of indulgence shing in his
eyes. “Why not?”
Ten per cent is nothingpared to what I intended to give her. Why can’t she ept it?
“But…”
Jordan could tell what she was thinking from her conflicted expression. “No buts. I told you before,
I’m letting you pursue your goal. You shouldn’t feel any burden. Once I handle everything, I’ll ensure
you attain the highest ce.”
Milly let out a sigh. She knew Jordan adored her. No, saying “adore” was an understatement. He
completely pampered her!
However, even the most doting parents should have limits. Jordan’s over–the–top generosity in
giving her the family’s assets was a bit exaggerated and somewhat blind.
She couldn’t help but wonder if the Buts‘ bankruptcy in their previous life was because Jordan
gave all the shares to the original owner, who then mismanaged thepany into ruin. In the end,
the original owner had to work to support her six brothers.
This made sense!
Frightened by her thoughts, she quickly added, “Jordan, I don’t need this. I know you love me, but I
have no interest in business. If you insist on giving me something, why not invest in a few films for
me when I be famous?”
Jordanughed and rubbed her hair gently. “Investing when needed is one thing, but these shares
are yours to have.”
Milly pouted, feeling troubled. “But I … don’t want them!”
Bang! A heavy thud mmed on the car door beside them. The startling driver nearly mistook the
gas pedal for the brake.
Philip had awakened at some point, looking at them with fury. His chest heaved with rage.
“What? Was it a bomb or poison that I sent out? Not only are you ungrateful, but you’re also ying
hot potato with it. If you don’t want it, hand the contract to me, and I’ll tear it up!”
In other families, people fight tooth and nail for a bit of share, even going as far as murder. Yet here,
these two are pushing them away.
He gave them shares, but others who were unaware of this might think they had been sentenced to
death.
Realizing how upset Philip was, Milly sighed again and stopped arguing. After all, Jordan had said
she didn’t need to be involved in thepany yet. She could figure out how to give it back to him
later.
Jordan also stopped talking. His gaze turned distant as he looked out the window; his emotions

In the Buts, neither Jordan nor his younger brothers cared much about the shares. In their
previous life, he hadn’t minded who held more or less because they were family. There was no
need to be so precise.
Everything changed when Stephanie, leveraging Philip’s affection, coaxed him into transferring all
his shares to her. Overnight, she became thergest shareholder of the But Group.
This led to a crucial board meeting that decided the fate of the Buts. Despite being the highest
CEO, Jordan had no right to prevent the signing of the final contract.
At that time, based on his experience, he had already seen the ws in the project. Every venture
has its risks; nothing is a guaranteed profit, especially one that nearly drained the Buts’s
resources.
However, Stephanie was in charge of the project. In addition, they trusted her too much to look
deeper. This trust led to a cascade of disastrous events, and by the time he tried to recover it, it was
toote.
Even now, he could vividly recall the scene whenever he closed his eyes.
The Buts went bankrupt overnight. Stephanie, the project leader ran abroad, leaving behind a
mess that Jordan had to handle alone, exhausted by the endless crises.
Later, when another “Stephanie” emerged, sending money sporadically and resolving urgent issues,
he was too overwhelmed to question it. He trusted her too much to suspect anything.
Now, it was ridiculous to imagine it.
How could someone who took the money and ran suddenly grow a conscience and start helping
them out?
Thinking of this, Jordan slowly turned his head to gaze at Milly. She seemed unaware of his
scrutiny, fully engaged in talking to Apollo with great patience, even knowing he couldn’t understand
her.
How was she feeling when she worked tirelessly to support the family in her past life?
What I’m giving her now was nothingpared to what she had sacrificed for them. The entire
Buts belonged to her; she was merely receiving itter than she should have.
Screech!
Jordan’s thoughts were interrupted when the driver mmed the brakes.
Immediately afterwards, there was a series of knocks on the car door and windows.
“What’s going on?”
The driver frowned as he looked outside. “Mr. Jordan, our car was stopped. We’re surrounded by
reporters outside.”
Reporters?
Milly looked outside. She indeed saw a horde of journalists. Strangely, they had only stopped their
car, letting the one carrying Anthony and the others pass unimpeded.
The reporters banged on the windows, their mouths moving, but the car’s soundproofing made it

impossible to hear what they were saying.

Witnessing thismotion, Apollo, who had been sitting quietly, suddenly grew agitated. His eyes
began to turn red, his face twisted with rage, and low growls escaped his throat as if he was ready
to leap out and tear the crowd apart.
Milly promptly focused on calming him, gently soothing his rising agitation.
Philip frowned deeply at the reporters battering the car. “Get out and see what’s happening.”
The driver nodded quickly. “Yes, Sir.”
The reporters swarmed on the driver like starving wolves as soon as he opened the car door. They
shoved microphones and cameras into his face. He was trapped in the middle, barely managing to
squeeze back into the car after a long struggle.
Panting and wiping sweat from his eyebrows, he reported, “Old Mr. But, Mr. Jordan, the
reporters are here to interview… Ms. But.”
A sense of imminent trouble filled Milly.
Sure enough, she heard the driver continue, “They want to ask about her college entrance exam
results…”
Milly sighed.
This is never–ending!
