With Jordan and Philip in agreement, nobody else felt brave enough to raise an objection.
Milly tried to calm Apollo, asking him to wait for her while she went downstairs.
Normally, Apollo would heed her soft, soothing voice and wait patiently here, even if he did not want
to. However, this time, no matter what she said, he stubbornly refused to release her arm.
Even when he saw her trying to forcefully free herself, Apollo reacted by crying out loudly, his eyes
bing intensely red, resembling a distressed little wolf cub.
Milly sighed softly.
This was the first time since her return with Apollo that he had shown such intense attachment.
Clearly, her long absence had deeply impacted him; he now clung to her, terrified she might leave
again.
As she contemted this, Jordan’s steady voice cut through the silence. “Bring him with you. The
sooner you leave, the sooner you’ll return.”
Milly’s eyes brightened upon hearing that.
Why hadn’t she thought of that? George was familiar with Apollo, so taking him along should not be
an issue. Despite his amnesia, Apollo recognised him, and as long as Apollo behaved normally, it
would not raise any suspicions.
Wait…
Why is Jordan so casual about letting me take Apollo?
Did he know something I don’t?
As she was about to ask, she caught Jordan’s gaze. His eyes were unreadable and cold, and he
simply said, “Hurry back. We’ll be waiting.”
His look carried a deep understanding.
Milly had a question ready, but she held it back, hesitating briefly before responding, “Okay.”
Agreeing, she took Apollo and left.
Once Milly was out of sight, Jonathan could not hide his frustration any longer. He stomped on the
floor, eximing, “Jordan, why did you let her go? Do you know who she’s meeting? She’s meeting
that rascal! What if he means her harm and tries to influence her…”

Jonathan’s worries escted, and feeling the urge to intervene, he rolled up his sleeves, ready to
leave. “No, I have to go and bring Milly back. Even if she ends up hating me, it’s better than letting
her be misled.”
Just as he was about to head out Anthony, who had been quiet, put a hand on his shoulder, urging,
“Easy, easy!”
Jonathan squinted his eyes, puzzled by this guy who was usually the most unrestrained. Why was
he suddenly ying the role of a peacemaker?

Jonathan eyed Anthony suspiciously. “Have you been hitting Grandpa’s calming potions? Aren’t you
bothered about Milly chasing after that rascal?”
This behaviour was uncharacteristic for Anthony.
To Jonathan’s surprise, Anthony just shed a knowing smile and said, “Rx, nothing bad will
happen to Milly. Trust me on this.”
He confidently patted his chest to reassure Jonathan.
However, Jonathan, observing his calm demeanour, felt something was off. “What are you getting
at? Do you know something?”
Anthony shed that mysterious grin again, raising an eyebrow. “Give me 1500 dors, and I might
just tell you!”
Jonathan was speechless.
Really? He’s tantly exploiting the situation!
As he clenched his jaw and reached for his phone to make a transfer, a robotic voice suddenly
announced:
“You’ve received 15 thousand dors.”
Jonathan was confused.
So was Anthony.
Xavier, standing close by, smoothly pocketed his phone. Then, he gave Anthony a stern look and
demanded, “Out with it!”
Anthony winced under the scolding. Since when had Xavier taken such a strong interest in Milly’s
matters? This was out of character for him.
Moreover, he was giving away 15 thousand dors just like that. When did he start throwing money
around so freely?
“Xavier, have you been influenced by something malicious?” Anthony asked, his voice tinged with
doubt.
Xavier gave him a sharp re, his tone cutting, “Are you going to spill it or not? If not, give the
money back!”
“Okay, okay, I’ll tell you!” Anthony/quickly caved in.

He figured he might as well disclose everything for that 15 thousand dors. He could not keep it a
secret for long anyway, and he really needed the money. All his previous savings had gone to that
scam artist, leaving him broke…
“Well, I arranged for someone to deliver 750 thousand to that man, asking him to stay away from
Milly. He epted the money and promised he’d rify things with Milly face–to–face, ensuring he
wouldn’t bother

“When Milly gets back, she’ll probably be very upset, maybe even cry. We’ll be there tofort her.
After all, it’s better to suffer a short pain than to endure ongoing torment. This could be seen as a
good thing.”
With that, Anthony lifted his head, looking rather pleased with himself. If he had a tail, it would be
wagging vigorously right now.
Jonathan looked sceptical. “Really? Are you sure about that?”
Anthony scoffed, “Of course! Why would I lie? Even if you don’t believe me, you should trust Mr.
Jarvis from Tate Group. Actually, he was the one who unexpectedly helped me with this.”
He then detailed the events of that day.
After listening, Jonathan stroked his chin thoughtfully and nodded slowly. “Well, Mr. Jarvis is indeed
trustworthy. His reputation in the industry is solid, definitely stronger than Ivan’s.”
Ivan was speechless.
I should have stayed away from here!
How am I still getting caught in the crossfire while tucked away in a corner?
Xavier’s brow creased, his unease growing. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that the
situation was not as simple as it appeared. He knew Danny, that shrewd old fox, was not known for
his generosity or willingness to help.
Even though the Buts and the Tates had been acquaintances for a long time, Danny would not
have involved himself with the Buts or offered them aid without instructions from George!.
Could it be…
He nced at Jordan standing next to him, unable to believe what was unfolding. Jordan met his
gaze with an unreadable expression and nodded slightly.
Something clicked in Xavier’s mind.
Oh no!
Xavier’s face drained of colour as the truth dawned on him, his teeth gritted in a mix of anger and
embarrassment.
