Chapter 344 You Need to Apologise to Anthony 

With Fiona clinging to her leg. Stephanie concealed her disgust, though she didn’t display it on her face, it was nearly overflowing from her eyes. 

This idiot! She’s truly a disaster! 

Stephanie had repeatedly warned Fiona to avoid direct confrontation with Milly. After all, Milly’s status within the Burnetts had significantly improved, even Stephanie had to avoid crossing her. 

However, Fiona had the audacity to stir up chaos in front of everyone. This act essentially dragged Stephanie down with her. 

Though she cursed Fiona repeatedly in her heart, Stephanie maintained a look of deep sorrow. She asked, “Fiona, how could you do such a thing? Both you and Milly are my good friends. How could you do this to her?” 

Fiona was stunned when Stephanie put it that way. She stammered, “But didn’t you say she… 

Stephanie’s gaze turned sharp, and she cut her off, “Enough. Grandpa has instructed Jordan to handle this matter as he sees fit, so I will comply with his wishes. But don’t worry, we’re friends. I’ll help you as much as I can, out of our past friendship.” 

This response was satisfactory to Philip. He looked at Stephanie with approval. 

Fiona, however, felt as though Stephanie was pushing her into the fire. 

She looked up at Stepahanie, who stood before her, Fiona’s face was filled with rage and puzzlement. She couldn’t believe Stephanie was acting like she hadn’t encouraged her. Fiona had only followed Stephanie’s instructions, and now it was all her fault? 

Fiona wanted to say something, but Stephanie’s cold, warning gaze silenced her. She swallowed all the words that were on the tips of her tongue. 

Yes, things had come to this point. She had no choice but to rely on Stephanie. Angering her further would do no good. 

In the end, Fiona held her tongue. 

Elsewhere, 

Philip glared at Jordan. Though he knew he had been wrong, his tone was unapologetic. The old man asked, “Is this enough? Can you leave this old man alone now?” 

His tone suggested he had no remorse and hadn’t reflected on his own behaviour. 

Jordan sat on the sofa, his long legs crossed. He wore a blank his fingers tapped lightly on his 

knee. 

pression: 

“Hmph, this is ridiculous!” Philip huffed in rage as he stood up from his seat. He commanded, “Arthur, help me upstairs.”

When Philip turned and was ready to leave, Milly called out to him. “Grandpa, wait. You can’t go yet. You still haven’t apologised to Anthony.” 

The room fell silent at those remarks. Everyone was astonished. Even Arthur, who had recently defended Milly, looked at her in shock. 

Was she crazy? Asking Philip to apologise to Anthony was worse than asking him to kill himself. 

As predicted, Philip stood frozen, and his aged face displayed an expression of incredulous. 

He questioned, “Apologise? Ridiculous! I’ve never heard of a grandfather apologising to his grandson!” 

Milly’s expression remained serious. She pointed out, “You misunderstood Anthony and admitted it was your mistake. If you were wrong, you should apologise.” 

Philip’s expression turned ashen, and veins bulged on his forehead. 

Forcing him to watch the surveillance footage was one thing, but now making him apologise to his grandson? This was too much. 

No! He would never do this. 

His eyes narrowed as he looked at Milly, his gaze sharp enough to pierce through her. Philip said stubbornly, “If I refuse to apologise, what will you do? Force me to do it like before?” 

The atmosphere grew tense, heavy with suppressed energy. 

Everyone around could sense his anger, and no one dared to make a sound. Some even retreated to avoid becoming entangled in the chaos. 

Milly, who was glaring by the old man, acted like she felt nothing. She stood rooted on the same spot, stood her ground and calmly meeting his gaze. 

“Grandpa, you must be joking! We are the juniors. No matter how nasty we have become, we wouldn’t force an elder to apologise to a junior.” 

Philip’s expression softened slightly at the remark. He said, “Hmph, at least you know it’s a nasty thing to do. Maybe there’s hope for you yet.” 

Milly smiled and feigned that she didn’t hear his comment. She wondered, “Grandpa, may I ask why you chose to join the army and go to war back then?” 

Her random question startled Philip, causing him to frown. He asked, “Why do you ask?” 

Milly grinned and continued, “I’m curious. You’ve never shared those stories with us.” 

Philip explained calmly. “Why else? If someone bullies you, you fight back. Any man with a spine would protect his home and country.” 

Milly nodded and continued to probe, “And as a general, were you qualified?” 

think I’m 

Philip huffed proudly and answered, “Qualified? I led countless successful charges, never lost a battle. Even though Andrew owed his life to me, I carried him back from a mountain of corpse. Do you qualified?”

“Absolutely, as a leader, you were outstanding,” Milly echoed. But as an elder, are you qualified? 

“In life, we all play many roles. Grandpa, you were a formidable general and a strategic chairman. In addition to those roles, you’re also our grandfather. This role is as important as any you’ve held before. 

“You were a hero in your youth, but now you’re more than that. You’re an elder. If you can’t set an example, how can you expect us to follow your lead?” 

Her words were firm, but Philip remained stubborn. He reasoned, “That’s different. Bowing to a kid is absurd! How would people think of me when words get out?” 

Milly’s eyes narrowed. She had expected this. 

Philip admitted his mistakes because he was reasonable, but apologising was another matter. © NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

Milly took a deep breath and said, “Fine, if you won’t apologise, we won’t force you. Juniors can’t make you apologise against your will.”
