Milly wrapped up the last morning scene, and as she finished, Joy hurriedly handed her a bottle of water.

It was an easy scene, done in one take.

Taking a seat u

under the parasol, Milly cracked open the water bottle and took a few sips, feeling refreshed.

Glancing around, she felt something was off….

After a while, she realised what it was. The atmosphere on set seemed notably more relaxed now. Even Alan had started speaking with his legs crossed.

“Did George leave?” Milly inquired.

As Joy tidied up her wind–tousled hair, she nodded. “Yeah, he left while you were still shooting. Seemed urgent, like he got an important call or something.”

“Oh. I see.”

She had been so immersed in her scene that she hadn’t noticed the commotion outside.

Oddly, she felt a pang of loss, like something was missing.

Seeing her serious expression and furrowed brow, Joy couldn’t help asking, “Feeling down, Boss?”

Milly hesitated for a moment, then quickly denied. ‘No, I’m fine.”

Although she said so, her furrowed brow refused to relax, and the pent–up frustration in her chest just wouldn’t dissipate!

She scratched her head vigorously, wondering what was wrong with her!

Some unknown resentment seemed to be controlling her emotions, suppressing her nerves, but she couldn’t quite pinpoint its source.

“Hey, hey, hey, Boss, I just fixed your hair, and now you’ve messed if up again,” Joy quickly protested.

Milly sheepishly lowered her hand, apologising, “Sorry, I forgot.”

Joy carefully fixed her hair and cautiously asked, “Boss, are you upset because Mr. Tate left without saying goodbye to you?”

With a resounding “thud,” the wall of frustration in her chest collapsed.

At that moment, all her resentment and anger seemed to find their source, and her breathing became

much easier.

So…

Milly bit her lip in disbelief. 4m I really bothered because of George?

No, impossible!

“It’s not about him. It’s just the filming that’s got me a bit off. It has nothing to do with George, Milly said firmly.

Joy nodded, choosing to believe her for now, “Oh, I see”

Then, remembering something, she added, “Oh, by the way, Boss, when Mr. Tate left, he mentioned he got gifts for everyone in the crew, but yours seemed to be separate. Don’t forget to check it out later, see if you

like it or not.”

Milly flipped through the script nearby and scoffed, “Yeah, like anyone cares.”

Even though she said that, it felt like the frustration in her chest vanished in an instant, replaced by a surge of joy.

A smile tugged at her lips.

Hold on, something’s wrong.

Why am I smiling? That’s the Tate family! That’s George! He’s the person I swore never to yield to!

She shook her head hard, trying to stay alert.

At that moment, the bracelet under her long sleeve moved slightly and then went still again.

Meanwhile, on the other side

Stephanie made mistakes repeatedly during filming. She was just scolded harshly by Alan.

Alan jabbed a finger at her forehead, furious. “You and Milly are both newbies, but she never screws up. If you have time, learn from her. Acting isn’t just about trying hard on your own, you need to watch and learn.”

Sitting under the umbrella, she stomped her foot, her face twisted with rage. “Milly, Milly, it’s always Milly! What’s so great about her? Why does everyone always side with her?!”

Just wait, I’ll definitely crush her into dirt.

Ding ding ding–The sharp ringtone of her phone interrupted her fury.

Stephanie pulled out her phone and saw Jonathan‘ on the screen. She frowned. Isn’t Jonathan supposed to be filming right now? Why is he calling?

She took a deep breath and picked up the call.

“Hello, Jonathan?” Her voice had already returned to its usual sweet and obedient tone.

A deep voice came through the phone. “Hello, Stephanie. I heard from Jordan that you’re filming at the Television City. Why didn’t you tell me? I could come and look after you.”

Hearing Jonathan’s concern, Stephanie’s angry expression softened, and she couldn’t help but smile.

Jonathan always cared about her the most.

“I just got here a few days ago. I was going to tell you, but I didn’t want to interrupt your work. I’m doing fine here, so don’t worry about me.

“It’s just that Milly

The unfinished sentence clearly hinted that something was wrong.

As expected, Jonathan immediately exploded, “What? Is Milly bullying you? Is she abusing her power?”

Stephanie quickly said, “No, Jonathan, don’t think like that. She didn’t bully me. She… She treats me really well, really. She really does…

Her rushed explanation sounded a bit like she was holding back tears, making it clear she felt aggrieved but didn’t want to admit it.

Hearing this, Jonathan’s heart ached. “She did bully you, didn’t she? Stephanie, you’re too nice. She treats you badly, and you still defend her. You’re too naïve…

Stephanie sat on a stool under the sunshade, staring blankly in Milly’s direction. A flicker of malice flashed in her eyes, but her words sounded pitiful.

Jonathan, Milly is nice to me. I’m not as smart as she is. It’s normal for the director to like her more than me. I’m here to learn and I’m not as good as her at handling relationships. Jonathan, am I useless?”

Hearing this, Jonathan’s face instantly darkened.

He watched Stephanie grow up. She was always obedient and understanding, never fighting or competing for anything. That’s why all six brothers were willing to cherish her. He thought Milly was the same. Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.

Turned out, he was wrong.

She was so mean that she managed to alienate Stephanie from the entire crew.

“Stephanie, don’t worry. I’ll prepare some small gifts for everyone in the crew later. You can hand them out, just to smooth things over. They might cut you some slack since you’re being generous.”
