Except for Fiona…

Pale–faced, she stood next to Stephanie. Her voice trembled as she questioned, “Stephanie, what should i do? You have to help me. I did it all for you. And you can’t just abandon me. If my parents find out, I’m doomed. 

Her voice wasn’t too loud, but it was enough for those nearby to hear it. Many had turned their heads to look at them in curiosity. 

Stephanie couldn’t help but frown and scold her, “Why are you making a scene now? Do you want everyone to know? I had promised that I’d help you, so I will. What’s the rush?” 

Fiona instantly froze and stood rooted on the spot. She dared not move, and her previous arrogance was 

gone. 

At this point, Stephanie was her last lifeline, and she could only cling to her with all her hopes and expectations. 

Stephanie didn’t see it that way. 

Fiona was just a disposable pawn for her. Now that Fiona had offended both Grandpa and Jordan, she had lost all value. A worthless pawn didn’t need to be kept around. 

Once she had squeezed out the last bit of usefulness, she would discard her quietly. 

However, if she were to discard her, it would have to be done so discreetly that no one would ever know. It couldn’t be like with Melanie, who managed to muster the strength to come back and bite her. That would truly be a case of losing more than gaining! 

With this in mind, she took a deep breath and put on her usual kind and understanding expression. Stephanie said, “I’m sorry, Fiona. I was just worried earlier. You know, in our family, Grandpa and Jordan have the final say. Now they’re both siding with Anthony, and you weren’t honest with me earlier. Even if I want to help you, my hands are tied. 

“But don’t worry, since I promised to help, I’ll find a way. After all, we’re best friends, right?” 

Tears welled up in Fiona’s eyes as she looked at Stephanie with gratitude, and she said, “Thank you, Stephanie.” 

After Jordan left, Apollo became uncontrollable. He became a wild horse freed from its reins. He circled around Milly, almost clinging to her. 

After the recent commotion, everyone around was even more convinced of the unspeakable secret between Milly and Anthony. Given how Jordan had defended Milly earlier, their curiosity was tempered with caution. They dared not say much, but only cast sympathetic glances at Stephanie. 

A biological sister was losing out to an outsider who hadn’t even officially joined the family. The rumour that the Burnett brothers doped on their sister seemed untrue, didn’t it? 

Tsk, tsk. No wonder they say that the lives of the wealthy are complicated.

Stephanie also noticed the subtle glances around her. A hint of darkness flashed in her half–lowered eyes. These idiots–they were only here because of me. How dare they look at me with pity? 

Wait until I become the heiress of the Lloyds! These people wouldn’t even dream of getting close to me at that time! 

With this thought, her mood lifted. She smiled, still maintaining her innocent and harmless facade. Stephanie said, “Everyone, our family owns a hot spring resort on the hillside. I’ve already talked to Jordan, and you can go there to enjoy the hot springs. Those who wish to stay can stay at the resort hotel. If not, I can arrange for a driver to take you home.” 

The crowd erupted with excitement. Their sympathy was turning into joy. “Wow–thank you, Stephanie!” 

As everyone started heading towards the hillside, Stephanic wore a smile on her face and bypassed Jonathan and Anthony. She walked up to Milly. 

“Milly, do you want to join us in the hot springs? Speaking of which, you haven’t been there since you came home, have you?” 

For some reason, Stephanie felt different now, though Milly couldn’t pinpoint how exactly. 

Milly narrowed her eyes. Is Stephanie plotting something again? 

No, that didn’t seem right. 

Stephanie was more cautious than she imagined. Knowing that Jordan and Philip no longer supported her, she would struggle to gain a foothold in the family. At this point, it would be wiser to play it safe rather than push herself into a corner. 

So, what is Stephanie up to? 

Before Milly could comprehend the situation, Anthony made a refusal on her behalf. He said, “No need We’re not going. You guys have fun.” 

Apollo had sensed Milly’s hesitation. He clung tightly to her arm, and his eyes widened in fear. “Ah… Ah… 

Milly, you can’t leave! 

When she saw the fear in his eyes, Milly took a deep breath. Forget it, there was no rush. Stephanie’s tricks seemed flashy but lacked real harm. Even if she caused trouble, it wouldn’t amount to much. 

“Alright, I won’t go.” 

Stephanie didn’t persist this time. Instead, she lifted her gaze disdainfully and looked Milly in the eye. She said, “Goodbye, Milly” 

Then she turned and left. 

Milly frowned as she looked at Stephanie’s retreating figure. She was puzzled by Stephanie’s parting words. What did she mean? 

Goodbye? 

It sounded like more than a simple farewell, more like a final goodbye?

And Stephanie’s gaze was filled with blatant mockery and arrogance, as if she wasn’t afraid of Anthony and the others noticing her intentions. 

Something was off about Stephanie. 

Anthony, sitting beside Milly, hadn’t noticed Stephanie’s gaze. Seeing Milly still looking in Stephanie’s direction, he thought she wanted to go. He leaned closer to persuade her. 

“That hot spring resort is for entertaining guests. A lot of people have stayed there, and I don’t think it’s very clean. We have another estate at Stoneto Hill with a private hot spring. It’s much cleaner there. I can take you there.” 

Milly was still contemplating Stephanie’s words. She absentmindedly agreed, “Okay.” Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

Since Milly lacked interest, Anthony leaned in even closer and tried to please her. He said, “Milly, I’ll cut an apple for you. I’ve learned how to carve little apple bunnies!” 

Not wanting to dampen his enthusiasm, Milly nodded and said, “Thank you, Anth
