A Film Queen of Two Worlds

Chapter 338 The Overwhelming Aura

Fiona’s hostility was so blatant that Milly couldn’t ignore it, even if she tried.

Milly was well aware than anyone else of what had really happened. Fiona dared to distort the truth, banking on the fact that the Burnetts, a prominent family, cared more about results than processes. Even if Milly exposed Fiona’s tricks, she doubted anyone would bother to investigate.

Sure enough, when Milly looked up, she met Fiona’s fearless smile, as if she were certain Milly would be harshly reprimanded by the Burnetts.

Anthony was the first to break the silence. He said, “It’s just a sofa. So what if water spilled on it? What’s the big deal?”

Fiona’s expression froze. Clearly, she didn’t expect someone to be so indifferent about luxury.

Still, she persisted and said, “But it’s a lot of money.”

Anthony remained expressionless, and he said, “Three million dollars is nothing. It’s just my sister’s pocket money.”

His remark was impressive. This stunned not only Fiona but also Milly, who gaped in disbelief.

Three million dollars? Pocket money? Why didn’t I know about this?

She remembered Jordan giving her a black card and insisting she spend 45,000 dollars a month, which she found wasteful. She had been investing that money instead.

But three million dollars? When did that happen?

I have never heard of this.

Anthony seemed to notice her shock. He leaned over and whispered, “Jordan knows you couldn’t spend all of your pocket money, so he put it all in your company’s account.”

Milly exhaled in relief at the explanation.

Geez! That explains it. The money is in my company’s account.

Wait! My company account? Is there a company under my name?

“Hold on, when did I have a company?” Milly’s eyes widened in surprise after those fact clicked in her

mind.

What happened to being open and honest with each other as siblings? Why did I feel like I’m out of the loop on so many things? When did I start a company, and how could I not know about it?

Anthony continued to lean in and whisper, “Jordan set up a company for you ages ago. He didn’t tell you to avoid stressing yourself out. Anyway, he’s hired professional teams to handle it, so you don’t have to worry. Jordan wants you to be a rich woman by the time you graduate.”

Milly was speechless.

She probed, “So, what does my company do?”

“It’s an entertainment company, Dreamweaver Entertainment. It handles film production, artist management, game development, media, event planning, and digital content. Jordan didn’t want you to suffer in the entertainment industry, so he set up the company. You can be an actress if you want to, or you can just let others perform for you. I heard that the company had signed several top stars and award- winning actors and actresses.”

Anthony suddenly thought of something. He pouted his lips and complained, “By the way, don’t you think Dreamweaver is a terrible name? Dreamwork sounds much better! Hmph, but it had to be Dreamweaver!”

The name Dreamweaver symbolised the creation of dreams, enabling one to achieve anything within them.

More importantly, it echoed Jordan’s wish to help his sister overcome all sorts of obstacles.

Jordan loved me more than I had imagined.

Meanwhile, Fiona watched Anthony and Milly whispering to each other. She bit her lip in resentment. No wonder this woman was so confident and unafraid. It turned out she had latched onto one of the Burnett boys!

Fiona had always been the center of attention and couldn’t bear to be ignored, especially by someone she considered inferior. Her strong pride wouldn’t allow it.

She took a deep breath to suppress her boiling resentment and continued in a sweet voice, “Jordan, I know your family is wealthy, but even with money, you can’t condone such lowly behaviour. If you didn’t teach her a lesson, won’t opportunists think there are loopholes to exploit?”

Milly laughed at this remark. She asked, “Oh? So, Ms. June suggests …?”

Fiona sneered coldly. She raised her chin arrogantly and said, “Of course, you should pay for the damages. Isn’t it common sense to compensate for things you’ve ruined?”

Just as Jordan was about to speak, Milly shot him a look that made him close his mouth.

Fine, if Milly wanted to handle the situation on her own, I would let her.

Milly turned to Fiona, and a cold glint flashed in her eyes.

Haha! This is funny.

In fact, Milly had initially planned to turn a blind eye to this matter and let it slide. After all, she was now somewhat of a public figure, and making a big deal out of it wouldn’t bode well for her future career.

However, since Fiona kept pushing her luck and looking for trouble, Milly decided to let her dig her own grave. At least it provided her with some free entertainment.

Milly’s voice turned serious, and she asked, “Ms. June, are you sure you saw me spill the water? Did you actually see me do it?”

Fiona arrogantly lifted her chin, and she said, “Of course, I saw it. I’m not alone in this; many of my schoolmates saw it too.”

She gave a signal. A few unfamiliar faces stepped forward to back her up.

“Yes, we definitely saw this girl spill water on the couch.”

“Yeah, we all saw it.”

“It’s exactly as Fiona said.”

Since several people had stepped up, others also followed suit, chattering as witnesses.

Milly was not intimidated by the barrage of voices. Calmly, she continued to ask, “Are you all sure that I spilled the water intentionally?”

Fiona frowned. She clearly didn’t understand the point of Milly’s question. “Does it make any difference whether it was intentional or not? The result is the same.”

“It certainly matters!”

Milly stood up and faced Fiona directly.

Fiona donned ten–centimetre heels, refined full makeup and a striking red outfit. Despite Milly being in flats and without makeup, her presence still overshadowed her.

It was a matter of sheer presence.

There was an aura that no amount of dressing up or decoration could compensate for.

Milly’s face grew more serious, her demeanour becoming considerably more imposing. “If I spilled the water intentionally, then it proves this was my fault, my lack of judgment. In that case, I’ll accept

any punishment or compensation.

“But if it wasn’t intentional, then it was either an accident on my part, or someone had set me up. Ms. June, what do you think?”

Milly’s gaze pierced into Fiona, as if looking into the depths of her soul.

Fiona’s fingers trembled under Milly’s stare. She suddenly felt a pang of guilt. Did Milly imply that she know something? Is that a warning?

No way, I have covered my tracks perfectly.
