A Film Queen of Two Worlds

Chapter 40 Seeking Revenge for His Fiancée

Milly glanced at Ivan, the executive assistant assigned to follow her around by her older brother. She couldn't help but twitch her lips.

Did Jordan seriously treat me like a child when he sent a nanny to keep an eye on me?

Leon checked his watch and said, "Milly, I have some this to take care of. I have to leave now."

Milly looked at him with a hint of reluctance. She asked, "Already? Leaving so soon? We haven't even had a meal together."

In this story, the only ones who truly care for the original owner are the Smiths. Their bond goes beyond just the original owner's body, even Milly herself felt a connection with the brother in front of her.

Leon affectionately ruffled her hair. His eyes were still filled with warmth and joy. He comforted, "Milly, be good. I just came back from abroad and have some things to attend to. After I finish my business, I'll get in touch with you, and we can spend some quality time together, okay?"

Milly was compelled to agree, "Okay."

With the college entrance exam approaching, she needed time to study. Playing now would not be enjoyable; it was better to wait until Leon was free and the exam was over before having fun together.

Leon put his left hand in his pocket. He tousled Milly's hair once more with his right hand before he left.This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.

Just before leaving, he cast a glance at George, who was standing nearby. There was a surge of unmistakable hostility flashing in his eyes.

George raised an eyebrow, meeting his gaze fearlessly.

Leon's emotion quickly changed. By the time George tried to read the emotion in Leon's eyes, he had returned to his usual gentle and refined appearance, as if the previous glance was an illusion.

Watching Leon walk away, George narrowed his eyes.

There was something about this man that didn't sit right with him.

His gaze wasn't merely a simple warning or disdain, but rather a deeper and more terrifying intent to kill. This kind of gaze couldn't be a casual or occasional display; it wasn't something ordinary person would possess

So, who was he really? What was his motive getting close to the little hedgehog?

Regardless of Leon's hidden agenda, if George discovered any ill intentions towards Milly, he wouldn't hesitate to eliminate the threat.

Unaware of the scrutiny of George by her brother, Milly turned to George, who was still by her side, and furrowed her brow. "Did you have a hand in the downfall of Melanie's family?" George set aside his inner speculation. He gazed down at her noncommittably and asked, "Why do you assume it's me? Perhaps your brother intervened on your behalf."

Milly didn't beat around the bush. She stated plainly. The only family capable of bankrupting the Initially, she had considered the possibility of Jordan's involvement, but upon closer inspection, she realised it was unlikely. Her family lacked the resources to overpower their enemies in one swift move. George suddenly burst into laughter.

It wasn't a mocking or forced smile, but a genuine expression of joy from the heart.

"The little hedgehog is quite sharp. Yes, it was me," he admitted.

His confession surprised Milly. Stunned, she chose to ignore the term "little hedgehog" he used.

"Why did you do this? As far as I know, there were no grievances between the Spencers and yours, right?" she asked.

George smiled smugly and revealed, "No grievances? Their daughter bullied my fiancée. Isn't that a grievance?"

Milly was speechless.

I knew it! I shouldn't have asked!

"Tve told you before that I'm not your fiancée. Don't you dare to call me that in the future. If there is a next time, I'm going to forcibly silence you!" She clenched her fist, and the flames of anger burned brightly in her eyes. It seemed like she truly intended to use force to shut him up.

George raised an eyebrow as he looked at the little hedgehog, who had returned to a vigilant state. Her pouting expression was truly adorable

If he wasn't afraid that the little hedgehog would sting him if he continued, he wouldn't have wanted to stop here.

He looked at Milly with a half-

smile and said, "Since you aren't my fiancée, you should return the bracelet to me. It is inappropriate for you to keep it because my grandmother gave it to the future daughter- in-law."

Milly rolled up her sleeves and looked at the bracelet on her wrist. It shimmered with a milky white glow in the sunlight.

She wasn't sure if it was just an illusion, but the bracelet seemed to tremble again.

Actually, she didn't want to keep it. Milly had tried everything these days, even using pliers in the end, but she couldn't take it off, as if it were attached to her wrist.

It was really odd.

George looked at her expression and knew she couldn't take it off. The smile in his eyes deepened. Well, it seemed like all of his effort to pray to his grandmother every day lately had paid off.

"How about this? I'll have a jewelry designer from my company take a look. Although this bracelet is quite old, the essence remains the same. The designer should know what to do."

Milly looked at him sceptically and asked, "You're not up to something again, are you?"

George smiled faintly. "What ideas could I possibly have? My grandfather likes you so much, and I don't dare to force you. Since you've decided not to be my fiancée anymore, as the head of the Tates, I can't just rush things."

He took a step back and said, "If you have a better way to remove the bracelet, you can try.

Milly fell silent.

She had no other way. She had tried everything she could in the past few days.

However, when she thought about it carefully. George's suggestion did make sense. He couldn't force her. As the high and mighty president of the Tates, this man could make the country's finances tremble with a stomp of his foot. What kind of beautiful woman couldn't he have? Was it worth putting in effort for a high school student like her? "Then where do I find those designers?" Milly asked.

"At my house," George said calmly.

"What? Your house?" Milly stared at him wide-eyed. The trust, which had just been established, crumbled upon hearing those words.

George remained calm and spoke with a straightforward tone. "The jewelry designers of the Tates are the elite in the industry. They are crucial to the business. These highly confidential professional talents cannot just appear casually in other places, understand?"

Milly pursed her lips. She had never been in contact with jewelry design, but hearing him speak like this. seemed similar to the confidentiality agreements of actors, where they couldn't reveal any information about the movie after filming to ensure that the audience wasn't spoiled with the plot and to maintain a sense of mystery Looking at it this way, it seemed understandable.
