Upon hearing Philip’s words, Stephanie couldn’t help but smile. 

Even though her brothers sided with Milly, as long as she clung tightly to Philip, their dissatisfaction with her wouldn’t matter. 

Despite his 

age, Philip was still quite healthy and walked briskly with his cane. Stephanie pulled Fiona along, followed behind him with an air of borrowed authority. 

By the sofa, Anthony and Jonathan were crowding around Milly, One wanted to build a tourist village on the island, while the other suggested a farm, and they were at each other’s throats. Just then, a stern voice 

rang out. 

“What are you two arguing about? You call yourselves brothers but don’t look like one? And you, a sister who doesn’t look like a sister?” 

When Philip approached, Xavier instinctively stood up to give him the seat. Meanwhile, Jordan calmly remained seated. Milly was overwhelmed by Anthony and Jonathan’s bickering; she didn’t even try to get

Philip huffed coldly and sat down. He tapped his cane on the floor with a thud and asked, “What’s on? Stephanie says you bullied her friend?” 

Everyone raised an eyebrow. The accused was the first to complain? 

going 

Anthony was the first to protest; he spoke up, “Who’s the one that bullied her? She bullied me! She covers my beauty! Those women are always plotting against me! Hmph!” 

As he recalled where his right hand had been earlier, the unsettling feeling that Milly had finally managed to soothe came back with a vengeance. Disgusted, he rubbed his palm vigorously on the sofa until it was red. 

In Philip’s eyes, Anthony was just a good–for–nothing loafer. Therefore, he never takes him seriously. Philip chastised him, saying, “You’ve been acting like a lawless rogue all day. Who would have the nerve to bully you? All you do is laugh and fool around with Jonathan, causing trouble and mischief!” 

Jonathan was dumbfounded. Is this what they call getting blamed for nothing! 

Anthony felt both wronged and angry. He reasoned, “Grandpa, if you don’t believe me, you can ask Jordan. He saw who bullied whom!” 

Philip snorted coldly. He fiddled with his rosary and replied, “Ask Jordan? Don’t think that just beca spoils you and would lie for you, I’ll believe it. Hmph, no way.” 

Anthony was speechless. “Grandpa, you … 

Was there something wrong with his grandfather? 

Anthony was speechless. 

Philp was not in the mood to argue. He said bluntly, “Apologise to the girl. She’s a guest. Let’s end this matter here. Today is Stephanie’s party, let’s not ruin it.”

violated me? Is there no justice in this world?”

Philip slammed his rosary on the table and glared at Anthony furiously. He questioned, “Then tell me, how did she bully you?” 

Anthony shrank back under his strong momentum. He stammered, “She… she put my hand…” 

His face reddened as he struggled to explain. 

How could he claim that girl was so forward and place his hand on her chest? 

“Blargh!” 

Remembering the scene, Anthony’s stomach felt sick. He covered his mouth and rushed to the bathroom. 

Milly watched as he ran away with both worry and sympathy. 

Poor Anthony! He’s probably scarred for life. Finding a wife would be tough after this. 

Philip snorted coldly. Despite his annoyance, Anthony was still his grandson. Outsiders couldn’t compare to family. 

“You rascal! 

“Alright, that’s the end of it. If there’s nothing else, you youngsters can play together. I’m getting old, and I need a nap. 

Fiona sighed in relief and let go of her worries. Her face was now full of joy, and she said, “Thank you, Old Mr. Burnette. Thank you, Stephanie.” 

Stephanie’s expression was one of gentle understanding. She said, “No need to thank me. It was nothing. I hope you won’t hold a grudge against Anthony. He was just anxious to protect someone. He’s usually quite easygoing. He might have acted impulsively because of someone else’s words.” 

Impulsive because of someone… It was obvious who she meant. 

Since Stephanie had helped her, Fiona now thought of Stephanie as a decent person. Hearing Stephanie’s words deepened her resentment towards Milly. 

Fiona said, “Don’t worry, Stephanie. I know who to blame. I won’t hold it against Anthony. After all, he was just being manipulated.” 

The more Fiona spoke, the angrier she became. Her eyes were now filled with intense hatred, bore into. Milly like those of a wild beast ready to devour its prey. 

Milly was unfazed. Instead, she raised an eyebrow calmly and let out a derisive laugh, looking at Fiona with a mix of pity and disdain. 

How pathetic. Did she really think this will be the end? 

Fiona’s expression froze. 

Milly’s indifferent gaze sent a chill down Fiona’s spine, a sense of foreboding crashing over her. She thought, what is this woman planning next?

To her surprise, Milly called out to Philip, who was about to leave. She called out, “Grandpa, wait a minute. Anthony didn’t do anything wrong. He shouldn’t apologise.” 

Philip was already halfway up the stairs. He wasn’t bothered by Milly’s words and dismissed them. “Alright, it’s over. There is no need to drag it out. I’m tired, and I need to get some rest.” 

Milly frowned. When she heard Philip’s word, she felt compelled to insist. “Why shouldn’t I speak up? The issue isn’t resolved. You’ve made a decision based solely on your perspective, which isn’t fair or just, right?” 

Her words stunned not only Philip but everyone else present. They all looked at her as if she were out of her mind. 

“Is she crazy? It’s the Burnetts‘ sofa. They can decide whether or not to pursue it. Who is she to intervene?” 

“Yeah, does she truly believe that she is the hero of a drama, emitted a halo? That the whole world revolves. around her?” 

“Haven’t you 

noticed? She has a special relationship with Mr. Anthony. Did you see her ruffle his hair just now? And he didn’t say a word. She’s probably acting as his knight in shining armour due to love now!”
